ETNews reports that Samsung's ultra-thin glass (UTG) supplier DOWOO INSYS is planning to ramp up operations. Apparently, the expansion plans are in line with the South Korean company's intentions of popularizing the foldable form factor.

More than 50% of residential apartments and other real estate properties in Jakarta are currently vacant, according to official estimates. A startup that is attempting to make it easier for tenants to rent these properties in Jakarta and other places in Indonesia said on Thursday that it has closed a new financing round. Travelio has […]

The golden retriever puppy named Narwhal who was found and is being cared for by Missouri-based rescue service Mac's Mission is one of the most extraordinarily cute canines you'll ever see. That's not hyperbole -- it's thanks to the fact that this good boy has a tail growing from his face, which is why he was given the name of a whale that has a tusk extending from the canine tooth. The rescue service found Narwhal, who's since become an Internet sensation, after he'd been wandering around in freezing cold [..]

Once an exotic component, solid state heat pumps or Peltier devices are now pretty mainstream. The idea is simple: put electricity through a Peltier device and one side gets hot while the other side gets cold.

After 100 years in the business, Olympus has learnt a thing or two about resilience.

It was just yesterday we reported on a disconcerting bug in Facebook’s iOS app that would sometimes open your camera in the background while scrolling through your feed. It appears Facebook has fixed the bug; The Verge reports the updated version of the App is now available in the App Store. As a recap, users found out Facebook was opening the camera in the background due to a bug that shows the camera feed in a tiny sliver on the left side of your screen when you open a photo in the app and swipe down.

NASA's Curiosity rover returned some seriously surprising data to Earth earlier this year, with readings of elevated methane levels that were hard to explain. Subsequent tests attempted to pin down the cause of the higher-than-expected readings but scientists have yet to come up with a definitive answer. Now, as questions about methane continue to swirl, scientists studying the behavior of gasses on Mars have noticed that oxygen on the Red Planet also acts much differently than it does on Earth. The observa[..]

During the 80’s and 90’s, there was a little show called COMDEX. It stood for Computer Dealer Exhibition. For a while, there were 2 versions: The Spring COMDEX (Alternating for a while between Altanta and Chicago) and the Fall COMDEX (Las Vegas). The show was attended by many and there were vendors galore. I remember […]

Hacker's data archive file grew so big that the target's hard drive ran out of space.

Legendary coder John Carmack is leaving Facebook's Oculus to focus on a personal project — no less than the creation of Artificial General Intelligence, or "Strong AI." He'll remain attached to the company in a "Consulting CTO" position, but will be spending all his time working on, perhaps, the AI that finally surpasses and destroys humanity.

Human attention is a finite resource: we awake each day with it replenished, only for it to seep away through work, leisure, and time frittered idly browsing the web while circumventing ads. Recognizing the scarcity of maintaining human interest, attention economists have devised incentivized systems powered by crypto assets. These reward engagement and turn idle […] The post How Crypto Assets Are Capturing the Attention Economy appeared first on Bitcoin News.

Big changes are afoot for Wire, an enterprise-focused end-to-end encrypted messaging app and service that advertises itself as “the most secure collaboration platform”. In February, Wire quietly raised $8.2 million from Morpheus Ventures and others, we’ve confirmed — the first funding amount it has ever disclosed — and alongside that external financing, it moved its […]

After almost 4 years of being in beta, Brave 1.0 launches for Windows, macOS, iOS and Android.

In the short term, it's hard to imagine any streaming service making a dent in Netflix's enormous market share, but in the months and years to come, consumers are going to have to choose which subscriptions they're willing to pay for, and which they're willing to give up. In an effort to avoid becoming expendable, Netflix has made plenty of notable deals with content creators over the years, and its latest could be another huge success. On Wednesday, Netflix and Nickelodeon announced that they have formed a[..]

Today's Stadia AMA just keeps on giving, as Beri Lee notes you can use Google Play gift cards for game purchases. It doesn't stop there though.

Disney's CEO and streaming services executive clarifies its position on password sharing.

Disney+ already has more than 10 million subscribers. This is in spite of the service only having been available for one day and still limited to select countries.

Microsoft has been pushing ARM compatibility in Windows hard the last few years. Case in point: The Surface Pro X – the company’s fanciest new product of the year – runs on a custom ARM chip. But the architecture so common in our mobile devices has always been beleaguered by one issue on Windows: it can’t run traditional 64-bit apps. A new report by Neowin suggests Microsoft plans to change this. Citing “several sources,” the report claims Microsoft is working hard to bring x64 app emulation to Windows on A[..]

The US is suffering through a serious cold snap at the moment, one that the National Weather Service says will likely break over 100 low-temperature records. It's the kind of thing that might make some travelers long for an escape to somewhere with much more reasonable temperatures -- somewhere comfortably warm, even, while Mother Nature continues to blanket the country with ice and dangerously cold weather. If you fall into that category, Southwest Airlines has got you covered with yet another nationwide f[..]

Sword & Shield, the latest installment(s) in the venerable Pokémon series, has been the subject of no small amount of controversy. And now one fan’s passion and upset about the changes to the series have led one fan to make a petition to stop its sales to the White House — yes, that White House. Originally, the problem was that Sword & Shield would not have a National Dex, a feature whereby players could import their complete collection of Pokémon. Due to hardware limitations, this would apparently be impos[..]

For many of us as children, the anticipation of a new school year was filled with excitement—new teachers, new school supplies, new school clothes, and endless learning opportunities on the horizon—but not every child has what she or he needs to greet the new school year filled with optimism. According to UNESCO, an estimated 262 million children and youth around the world aren’t able to attend school, and many who do are not well-equipped to learn and succeed. Here at Oracle, we believe that education is t[..]

Based on the number of subscribers, analysts are now predicting that Hulu has overtaken Sling TV.

The Japanese space program JAXA has accomplished a lot in 2019. After successfully guiding its asteroid probe Hayabusa2 to the space rock known as Ryugu in late 2018, the team of scientists working on the mission pulled off a number of potentially dangerous stunts, including firing projectiles at the asteroid in order to collect samples. The mission has seen its fair share of challenges, especially after it was revealed that Ryugu's surface was far rockier and debris-strewn than anyone could have guessed, b[..]

Let’s pretend the 195 nations that signed the 2016 Paris Climate Accord really do take all of the steps necessary to reach the agreement’s key goal: limiting the increase in global temperature to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. In that world, any children born today would grow up to witness some happy milestones. If they lived…

Today, we are told that the bigness of Big Tech giants was inevitable: the result of "network effects." For example, once everyone you want to talk to is on Facebook, you can't be convinced to use another, superior service, because all the people you'd use that service to talk to are still on Facebook. And of course, those people also can't leave Facebook, because you're still there. But network effects were once a double-edge sword, one that could be wielded both by yesterday's Goliaths and today's Davids.[..]

One of the items that may be on many consumers' shopping lists this holiday season is a new phone, something the major carriers will be scrambling to sell you in the weeks leading up to (and even after) Black Friday as the discounts, deals, and offers keep piling up for buyers to choose from. T-Mobile, which has been in the headlines in recent days over its pending merger with Sprint and for the various incentives it has been promising to try and get that deal over the finish line, has now stepped up to the[..]

Disney+ has finally arrived and with it came support for a whole range of devices, including Android TV. Even the Android TV platform itself is extremely well supported.

SpaceX has confirmed that it ran a static fire test of its Crew Dragon astronaut capsule launch escape system.

Disney+ launched this week with hundreds of movies and shows, as well as a selection of original content, but if there was anything missing from the huge launch slate, it was an original Marvel series. Marvel has already revealed more than half a dozen shows that will air exclusively on Disney+, but none were ready in time for the rollout of the new streaming service. In fact, it will be close to a year before any of them debut. The good news is that we did get a taste of what's to come in the short documen[..]
