| Sony has officially stopped producing the PS Vita Posted: 02 Mar 2019 12:57 PM PST  The PlayStation Vita is officially done. Sony signaled that it has ended production on the handheld gaming console's last two models on the Vita's product page (via Polygon). Launched in 2011, the Vita never quite caught on around the world, a victim of increased competition from smartphone apps, selling only 16.1 million units, a far cry from the PlayStation Portable that preceded it, and from Nintendo's Switch that followed it. The writing has been on the wall for the Vita for a while — while a fun and quirky platform for indie games, audiences and major publishers simply haven't kept up with the device. Sony said that it would end production of the device in 2019, and that it had no plans to release a successor handheld device when... |
| Trump’s 2020 reelection campaign wants to push for government control of 5G networks Posted: 02 Mar 2019 12:11 PM PST  Politico reports that President Donald Trump's 2020 reelection campaign wants to advocate for governmental control of 5G wireless airwaves, which would in turn lease access to private wireless providers. The campaign says that the plan is designed to "drive down costs and provide access" to rural, "underserved" parts of the country with faster internet access, according to the campaign's national press secretary, Kayleigh McEnany. On its face, the thinking behind the strategy appears similar to a plan that was leaked in 2018, which suggested that the federal government providing its own infrastructure that would in turn be used by wireless carriers. That plan earned plenty of backlash from the telecom industry and FCC chairman Ajit Pai,... |
| MIT’s Mini Cheetah robot can do backflips now Posted: 02 Mar 2019 10:00 AM PST  MIT is back with the latest version of its Cheetah quadrupedal robot, the Mini Cheetah, and it's got a new trick up its sleeve: it can do backflips. Backflipping robots is nothing new — Boston Dynamics' much bigger Atlas robot pulled off the trick in November 2017 — but the Mini Cheetah is the first four legged robot to do it, which is almost more impressive. After all, plenty of humans can backflip, but how many dogs do you know that can do the same thing (the answer, apparently is "a bunch of them," but still.) The Mini Cheetah is also (as the name implies) a smaller version of the larger Cheetah 3 from last year — it weights around 20 pounds, and can trot along at up to 2.45 meters per second (around 5.5 miles per... |
| 11 new trailers you should watch this week Posted: 02 Mar 2019 09:00 AM PST  I've watched a handful of Marvel movies, but mostly they've been ones that aren't all that connected to the goings-on of the universe at large. I figured I'd be able to get by well enough watching Ant-Man and the Wasp without having seen the first one or the universe-shifting Captain America that took place in between, but it was kind of a weird experience. The beginning of the movie does a lot of heavy lifting trying to catch you up. It has to establish Scott Lang's house arrest, but more importantly, it has to explain this whole backstory of why the van Dynes are mad at him. And that really turns out to be the bigger problem: a core emotional pillar of the movie seems to have come about offscreen, and, having missed it, it kind of just... |
| Smart’s Forease+ is a cute electric concept Posted: 02 Mar 2019 08:38 AM PST  During last year's Paris Motor Show, Daimler unveiled its Smart Forease electric concept car, a cute electric car designed to celebrate the brand's 20th anniversary. Next week, the company will showcase the Forease+ at the Geneva Motor Show, a cute successor that also happens to comes with a roof. Daimler described last year's effort as a demonstration that the brand could think "unconventionally," and that the Smart Forease was a "free spirit." That might be the case, but it was also so free-spirited that it came without a roof. This year's model corrects that drawback with a removable fabric one. Aside from that, the electric car retains much of the cute that the original came with: quirky headlights and styling. Like any concept... |
| Samsung Galaxy S10 preorder promo is ending soon, and Sling TV channel bundles are discounted Posted: 02 Mar 2019 08:00 AM PST  If you haven't had a chance to look at deals this week, or are just looking for more, we've brought the best together below. On the horizon, March Madness is happening soon, and will bring on some major price cuts on 4K TVs and sound equipment. We'll have you covered with the deals that matter once they land, so stay tuned. But first, if you preorder the Samsung Galaxy S10 or S10 Plus before March 8th, you can get a $130 gift card that's redeemable toward any purchase on Samsung.com. The company ran through its stock of Galaxy Buds as a preorder initiative, but a gift card that can be used on anything else Samsung sells isn't a bad replacement. The Razer Phone 2 is $499 at Razer's online store (usually $799). If you play a lot of games,... |
| Francis Vallejo on creating the spectacular art for a new edition of Neil Gaiman’s Anansi Boys Posted: 02 Mar 2019 07:00 AM PST  A couple of years ago, The Folio Society, a publisher of what it describes as "carefully crafted" books, released its own, beautiful edition of Neil Gaiman's fantasy novel American Gods, just before Starz released its own adaptation. Now, with the show's second season coming this spring, the publisher has released a new edition of the novel's companion, Anansi Boys. The book isn't really a sequel to American Gods — Gaiman has said that he's planning to write a proper followup, but not for a while. The story follows a man named Charles "Fat Charlie" Nancy, who learns that his father (Mr. Nancy, a character that appears in both American Gods and Anansi Boys), who died in Florida, was the incarnation of the West African spider god Anansi.... |

| Everything coming to Netflix in March 2019 Posted: 02 Mar 2019 06:00 AM PST  For half the country, it's still "curl up on the couch and hibernate" weather, which makes it convenient that Netflix is serving up so much more original content in March. Queer Eye is returning for season 3, and this time it's based in Kansas, which is a pretty big departure from Georgia, where previous seasons took place. There's also a promising-looking eight-episode French science fiction series called Osmosis, about an app that can decode love for people — and manipulate their memories like data. But the weirdest original series coming to Netflix in March is probably the animated anthology Love, Death & Robots, presented by Tim Miller (Deadpool) and David Fincher (Seven, Gone Girl, The Social Network). The wild trailer for the... |
| SpaceX launches its new Crew Dragon capsule for the first time, paving the way for passenger flights Posted: 02 Mar 2019 12:03 AM PST  Early Saturday morning, SpaceX successfully launched its new Crew Dragon capsule from Cape Canaveral, Florida — the start of a milestone test needed to certify the vehicle for carrying passengers. Mounted on top of one of SpaceX's Falcon 9 rockets, the Crew Dragon soared into space at 2:49AM ET and deployed into orbit just 11 minutes later. Following takeoff, SpaceX then landed its Falcon 9 on one of the company's drone ships in the Atlantic — the company's 35th successful landing overall. The capsule, now in orbit around Earth, will attempt to dock with the International Space Station early tomorrow morning. It's the ultimate dress rehearsal for how the capsule will someday bring NASA astronauts to the orbiting lab. |
