LG vows to make its failing mobile unit profitable by the end of 2021
[ad_1] The CEO didn’t elaborate exactly how LG will expand its phone lineup, nor give any details on its proposed “wow factors,” but reiterated the company’s ambition to boost its competitiveness in an already saturated market. LG has faced its fair share of challenges in recent years. At the beginning of 2019 it reported an […]
CBS All Access is coming to Xfinity X1 and Flex set-top boxes
[ad_1] With the agreement, Comcast says it will become the first cable or satellite television provider in the US to offer a CBS All Access app. As with a lot of the other streaming services that are available through Xfinity X1 and Flex, you’ll need to subscribe to CBS All Access to watch the content […]
Hands-on with Intel’s Ghost Canyon NUC and Tiger Lake Xe laptops
[ad_1] All of Intel’s NUC (which stands for “next unit of computing”) devices have been relatively small DIY kits for enthusiasts. They ship with a CPU, but it’s up to you to provide RAM, storage and an OS. I was intrigued by its more gaming-oriented “Hades Canyon” NUC from from a few years ago, which […]
Segway’s S-Pod is a ridiculous lounge chair on wheels
[ad_1] The Segway S-Pod is a vehicle designed for future smart cities, when cars are less common but folks still need to get around comfortably. The pod itself is suspended between two wheels, giving the entire chair a floaty feel when you’re nestled in its suede seat. It’s controlled with a flat, round joystick on […]

[ad_1] A company called Keyshare Innovation Group partnered with a New Zealand to essentially rebuild Gatebox’s AI assistant from the ground up. Now, instead of an anime character, Keyshare’s assistant can take the form of a more realistic woman in a sharp uniform, or a beefy, bald man in gym attire. Obviously, these potential models […]
L’Oreal’s handheld skincare doles out custom formula at each press
[ad_1] L’Oreal has a more elegant solution in the works called the Perso Smart Skincare system, which is a portable skincare dispenser that spits out a small amount of product that is formulated each time you push its button. First, you’ll have to use the companion app to set up your profile, take three photos […]
Neon’s ‘artificial human’ avatars could not live up to the CES hype
[ad_1] According to Neon creator and STAR Labs boss Pranav Mistry: “Neons will integrate with our world and serve as new links to a better future, a world where ‘humans are humans’ and ‘machines are humane.’” That makes them sound like digital conversation partners, where interactions would approximate real humans. The mission seems to be […]
Julia is a smart kitchen gadget destined for the shopping channel
[ad_1] I watched Julia (named after Ms. Child) being used to make both cream of mushroom soup and steamed salmon, and it’s clearly perfect for these sort of test-kitchen demos. Throw in your vegetables (pre-peeled and roughly chopped) and you’ll soon be able to use the bowl’s heating element to begin cooking. While this went […]
Twitter will give you control over who can reply to tweets
[ad_1] The new controls should arrive later in 2020. You can expect a handful of other improvements as well. You’ll see a specific conversation view with threading, and the discussion interface that first popped up in Twitter’s testing app will reach the main app in the months ahead. Lists are getting improvements, too, including customization […]
