| Nintendo denies reports of trade-in program for new, upgraded Switch models Posted: 17 Aug 2019 01:57 PM PDT  Photo by James Bareham / The Verge Earlier this week, a number of reports pointed to an exchange program for Nintendo Switch owners looking to upgrade from the original model. According to these reports, Nintendo would offer a free upgrade for those who purchased their Switch after July 17th, when the new model with improved battery life was announced. However, today the company says that these reports are untrue. In a statement to The Verge, a Nintendo spokesperson explained:

| How low-paid Microsoft contractors train Cortana by listening to you Posted: 17 Aug 2019 12:06 PM PDT  Not only does Microsoft have human contractors listen to some of your Skype and Cortana voice recordings, those contractors are paid poorly and given repetitive tasks, according to a report by Motherboard. And thanks to this new report, we now have an idea of what those contractors actually do with the Cortana recordings they listen to. Motherboard says contractors earning merely $12–$14 an hour are expected to transcribe and classify Cortana voice commands into more than two dozen topic areas, including gaming, email, communication, events, home automation, and media control. These transcribed recordings are used to help teach the Cortana assistant to better understand speech. Contractors are expected to work through a grueling 200... |
| At $299, the iPad with 128GB of storage is this week’s best deal Posted: 17 Aug 2019 08:00 AM PDT  Photo by Vjeran Pavic / The Verge This weekend, you can save on a variety of tech products, including the sixth-generation iPad, the PlayStation Classic retro console, Sony's WH1000X-M3 wireless noise-canceling headphones, and more. The sixth-generation iPad is $299.99 at Best Buy. What makes this deal worth your while is that it's for the 128GB model, which is rarely available at a discount. This configuration has stayed at $329.99 for a while, so this is a pretty sharp price drop. Amazon currently offers this discount, too, but it has gone in and out of stock since yesterday. Since this iPad was released in early 2018, Apple has released four other models (the 11-inch iPad Pro, the 12.9-inch iPad Pro, the iPad Air, and the iPad mini). Still, Dieter Bohn's review rings... |
| Ikea goes all in on smart home tech Posted: 17 Aug 2019 07:51 AM PDT  Ikea Ikea is formalizing what has recently become all too obvious: the company is making a major bet on smart home tech as a source of new revenue. To do this, Ikea announced that it will invest heavily in a new "Ikea Home smart" business unit with end-to-end responsibility for its burgeoning portfolio of smart devices. With access to 780 million shoppers who visit Ikea stores each year, the announcement also serves as a wake-up call to smart home incumbents like Google and Amazon. "We have decided to invest significantly in Home smart across Ikea to fast-forward the development. This is the biggest New Business we are establishing since the introduction of Children's Ikea," said Peter van der Poel, manager Ikea Range & Supply, aka, the box... |
| New ceramic and titanium Apple Watch models spotted in watchOS 6 beta Posted: 17 Aug 2019 06:10 AM PDT  Apple's latest watchOS beta appears to have revealed the company's plans for new Apple Watch models. Just days after spotting a potential iPhone 11 announcement date, iHelp BR has discovered references to new ceramic and titanium watch models in the latest watchOS 6 beta. Both new watch models will reportedly come in both the 40mm and 44mm versions, and iHelp BR has found animations for the initial Apple Watch setup process. Apple has never released an Apple Watch in a titanium finish, but 9to5Mac notes that this is the same finish used on the company's new Apple Card. A ceramic Apple Watch was first introduced with the Series 2 and 3, but Apple didn't produce a ceramic version of the Series 4 Apple Watch. It's not clear... |
