| Richard Preston on legacy of The Hot Zone and the future of Ebola outbreaks Posted: 27 May 2019 11:17 AM PDT  Tonight, the National Geographic Channel will begin airing its six-part adaptation of Richard Preston's book, The Hot Zone, which covered the first outbreaks of Ebola in Africa, and an outbreak in a Reston, Virginia laboratory in 1989 that required the US Army to clean up. The book was an immediate and frightening hit with the public, bringing Ebola to the forefront of the public's attention. National Geographic's adaptation of the book comes a quarter-century after it was first published, and unfortunately it's very timely. The virus has been back in the news in recent years: A massive outbreak in West Africa killed more than 10,000 people between 2013 and 2015, and another ongoing outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo has... |
| Apple exec dismisses Google CEO’s criticism over turning privacy into a ‘luxury good’ Posted: 27 May 2019 09:18 AM PDT  Apple's software chief, Craig Federighi, says he doesn't "buy into" the criticism that Apple is turning privacy into a luxury good, an accusation that was indirectly leveled at the company by Google CEO Sundar Pichai. In an interview with The Independent, Federighi dismissed "the luxury good dig," just a couple weeks after Pichai wrote an op-ed in The New York Times saying that "privacy cannot be a luxury good offered only to people who can afford to buy premium products and services." While Pichai didn't name Apple, which has recently advertised the privacy benefits of its $999 phone, there's no mistaking which company he's referring to. Apple wants to sell... |
| The YouTube Gaming app is shutting down this week Posted: 27 May 2019 08:55 AM PDT  The standalone YouTube Gaming app is shutting down on May 30th. YouTube announced the impending shutdown last year, saying that the spinoff had caused "confusion" among gaming fans. It integrated the service into its main app instead, launching a games-focused hub that has already mostly replaced the old YouTube Gaming. In a help page, YouTube directs any remaining YouTube Gaming fans to this newer hub. It's also merged YouTube and YouTube Gaming subscriptions, although people will apparently lose the list of games they've saved. "We launched YouTube Gaming as a standalone app for gamers where we tested out new features based on the gaming community's feedback," the page explains. "We want to continue to build a stronger home for the... |
| TikTok parent ByteDance is reportedly making a smartphone Posted: 27 May 2019 06:42 AM PDT  ByteDance, the company behind video app TikTok, is reportedly building its own smartphone too. According to two unnamed sources in a Financial Times report, the phone would come preloaded with ByteDance's many apps — which include the news aggregator Jinri Toutiao, the ubiquitous TikTok, and according to some rumors, an unreleased streaming music service. The Financial Times says that ByteDance CEO Zhang Yiming has "long dreamt" of building a smartphone full of preloaded apps. The Beijing-based company confirmed a deal with phone maker Smartisan early this year, saying it had acquired a patent portfolio and hired some Smartisan employees. ByteDance claimed this would... |
| Asus goes all in on touchscreen trackpads with new ZenBooks and VivoBooks Posted: 27 May 2019 04:50 AM PDT  Last year's ZenBook Pro wasn't a very good laptop, but we found ourselves pleasantly surprised with its key selling point. The ScreenPad, a smartphone-like screen that replaced the traditional trackpad, turned out to be less of a gimmick than one might have expected, and so Asus is going all in on the idea for its 2019 lineup of mainstream laptops. Basically, the ScreenPad 2.0 on the new ZenBook S works a lot more like a smartphone. Asus has revamped the interface with Android-style menu buttons and icons, and it's easier to switch in and out of regular trackpad mode than before. I spent a while using the ScreenPad 2.0 and found it to be mostly pretty cool. I doubt I'd use it most of the time, but there are certain use cases where I'd be... |
| Asus announces two portable monitors: one for 240Hz gaming, one for touching Posted: 27 May 2019 04:49 AM PDT  Asus was one of the first companies to release portable USB-C monitors, and at Computex this year it's releasing two unique new designs. First up is the ZenScreen Touch (pictured above), a 15.6-inch 1080p touchscreen designed to be hooked up to smartphones or laptops. The primary use case demonstrated at an event ahead of Computex Taipei this week was for productivity-focused smartphone apps with complex UIs that are easier to operate on a larger canvas. The ZenScreen Touch has a 7,800mAh battery, comes with a protective case that folds up into a kickstand, and it also has Asus' trademark hole in the corner that lets you prop the screen up with a pencil in a pinch. The ROG Strix XG17 is another portable 1080p monitor, but... |
| Asus put two 4K screens on its extravagant ZenBook Pro Duo laptop Posted: 27 May 2019 04:41 AM PDT  Asus always likes to use its hometown trade show of Computex, which also happens to be the world's biggest computer hardware event, to show off a wide and occasionally wild lineup of new products. And it's really outdone itself this time — the headline announcement is one of the most decadent laptops ever created. The ZenBook Pro Duo has not one, but two 4K screens. (At least if you're counting horizontal pixels.) There's a 15-inch 16:9 OLED panel where you'd normally find the display on a laptop, then a 32:9 IPS "ScreenPad Plus" screen directly above the keyboard that's the same width and half the height. It's as if Asus looked at the MacBook Pro Touch Bar and thought "what if that, but with 32 times as many pixels?" Unlike the Touch... |
| Asus unveils leather and gold laptop to celebrate its 30-year anniversary Posted: 27 May 2019 04:17 AM PDT  Asus is celebrating its 30-year anniversary with a special edition laptop. The Asus ZenBook Edition 30 includes a white leather lid cover and an 18-karat rose gold logo that looks a lot like Star Trek's starfleet insignia. Asus hasn't gone full leather like HP's leather Folio tablet / laptop hybrid, but that does mean this latest ZenBook is a traditional laptop through and through. "Every piece of genuine leather is hand selected," explains Asus chairman Jonney Shih. "Each panel cover is maticulously sewed by a master tailor." Asus is also supplying special accessories for this leather laptop, including a pearl white mouse and leather sleeve. This isn't the first time Asus has experimented with leather on laptops, though. Asus first... |
| Apple could bring dual Bluetooth audio connections to future iPhones Posted: 27 May 2019 02:25 AM PDT  For better or worse, wireless audio is slowly becoming the norm for mobile phones and tablets. This has caused a lot of annoyance, but there are benefits, too. One is the ability to send audio signals to two separate Bluetooth devices simultaneously. Some Samsung phones can already do this, and according to a rumor from Japanese blog Mac Otakara (spotted via Mac Rumors), Apple might be bringing the feature to future iPhones as well. Being able to connect to more than one Bluetooth device can be helpful in a range of scenarios. You might want to connect your phone to your car's audio system to give GPS instructions while also playing music through earphones, for example. (A situation suggested by Mac Otakara.) Or, you and a friend might... |
| ARM announces Cortex-A77 and Mali-G77 for premium smartphones in 2020 Posted: 27 May 2019 02:18 AM PDT  ARM, the blueprint maker and instruction set designer for all the mobile chips we enjoy using in our smartphones today, has unveiled its latest set of premium mobile designs, slated to feature in 2020 devices. This includes two main components: the Cortex-A77 CPU core and the Mali-G77 graphics part. The immediate highlight with the A77 is a 20 percent improvement in IPC (instructions per clock) performance, which should translate into a tangible acceleration in completing complex tasks. Most system-on-a-chip designs, from the likes of Qualcomm, Apple, and Samsung, operate with two or four beefy cores like the Cortex-A77 and then a smattering of more power-efficient cores alongside them for basic tasks. With each A77 core being that much... |
