This trailer made by IBM's Watson proves AI knows how to creep you out
Sep 01, 12:42PM
I am admittedly the jumpy sort, so maybe the bar was low, but this AI-created trailer for upcoming sci-fi thriller Morgan definitely sent chills up my spine. And this is the ultimate troll because Morgan is actually about a humanoid robot with advanced AI that essentially rebels against its creators. WATSON IS PLAYING WITH US. Seriously though, it’s more than a little terrifying that… Read MoreDJI wants to end shaky smartphone videos
Sep 01, 12:22PM
DJI hopes you’re tired of shaky and embarrassing smartphone videos. The Osmo Mobile is a handheld 3-axis stabilizer gimbal for smartphones. Just strap a phone to the top and a similar gimbal used in the company’s drones will keep the video silky smooth. The kit works similar to the DJI Osmo except this new version lacks a built-in camera. It uses the capable camera in a… Read MoreSalesforce Wave turns vertical with new industry-specific apps
Sep 01, 12:00PM
When Salesforce introduced its Wave analytics product back in October, 2014, it was mostly framed as a tool for managers to get a grip on the sales pipeline in a visual way. In a series of announcements today, Salesforce made it clear that it’s taking Wave vertical with a variety of job-specific Wave applications. Since its launch, much like Salesforce CRM itself, Wave has grown… Read MoreWacom updates its line of Bamboo smart notepads
Sep 01, 12:00PM
Not notebooks – smart notepads. Or, “smartpads” for those looking to save a little time and precious syllables. At IFA this week, the pro tablet manufacturer is issuing two updates to its line designed to combine physical note-taking with digitization. The two devices are fairly similar, utilizing Wacom’s priority EMR (Electro Magnetic Resonance) technology to bridge… Read MoreMobile classifieds startup Carousell makes first acquisition weeks after raising $35M
Sep 01, 11:40AM
Less than a month after raising $35 million in new financing, social commerce and classifieds startup Carousell has made its first acquihire. The Singapore-based company has picked up most of the team from Watch Over Me, a safety app for principally for women that is based on Malaysia, in an acquihire deal to beef up its engineering chops. Read MoreSony intros two camera-focused additions to its Xperia X line
Sep 01, 11:15AM
Sony knows from phone cameras. After all, it’s the company’s companents that fuels the competition’s hardware. As such, it makes sense that it’s opted to focus on the feature for a pair of new additions to its Xperia X line, the flagship 5.2-inch XZ and 4.2-inch Compact. The company has moved to what it’s called triple image sensing technology, built around… Read MoreSony takes on Bose with new wireless headphones
Sep 01, 11:15AM
Not every product briefing involves a large hidden speaker trucked in to reproduce plane noise. But Sony clearly very psyched about the noise canceling capabilities of its new wireless headset. In fact, the reps who did presentation even went so far as activating the white noise hum while I was listening to music, in order to affect surprise when I took them off. Fair play. And indeed, the… Read MoreLOT Network waives patent troll protection membership fees for startups
Sep 01, 11:00AM
License on Transfer (LOT) Network is looking to make it even easier for smaller startups to sign up for its cross-licensing patent “immunization” organization, which includes members like Google, Netflix and Uber. Between now and March 1, 2017, any new members that join LOT Network that have annual revenues below $5 million won’t have to pay the standard annual membership… Read MoreRenoviso raises $3.5 million for home redecorating
Sep 01, 11:00AM
Renoviso thinks it can take the hassle out of home redecorating. Instead of searching for the right contractor, Renoviso determines which local partner can help you on projects like replacing your windows or getting new floors. And the Boston-based startup is now raising $3.5 million in funding to execute their vision. The round was led by Bessemer Venture Partners, with existing… Read MoreHuawei debuts a new 8.4-inch tablet
Sep 01, 9:31AM
A bunch of new products out of Huawei this morning, as the company kicked the second day of IFA press conferences. In addition to two new entries in the company’s mid-tier Nova line, it also introduced a new 8.4-inch tablet the MediaPad M3. At the center of the tablet is a 2560 x 1600 2K wide-angle display with a 359PPI pixel density. That’s all wrapped up in a slim full-metal body. Read MoreHuawei debuts its mid-tier Nova series with two new handsets
Sep 01, 9:06AM
Huawei kicked off its IFA keynote this morning by debuting Nova, a new mid-tier line of handset line offering up solid specs on a budget. The line kicks off with two devices, the simply named Nova and Nova Plus. The two handsets are largely the same, though the Plus, as the name pretty clearly implies, is the larger of the two, at 5.5 inches to the Nova’s five inches. It’s also got… Read MoreHTC's latest features middling specs in a slightly ruggedized exterior
Sep 01, 8:27AM
“Inspired by nature, created for life” is HTC’s customarily grandiose tagline for the admittedly awkwardly named One A9s. All that hyperbole means, essentially, that this is a nice looking handset that can withstand a drop or two. The specs on the other hand are fairly meh. HTC’s new five-inch handset looks a fair deal like its predecessor, which is to say, it looks a… Read MoreLibratone anticipates the end of the headphone jack with noise-cancelling Lightning earbuds
Sep 01, 7:01AM
Only the tightly-lipped team in Cupertino can say for certain, but it sure appears as if Apple is ready to declare war on the headphone jack as we know it. Danish high-end speaker company Libratone is certainly hedging its bets with a newly announced pair of headphone sporting a Lightning adapter – it’s first entry in the space, The upshot here, aside from potential… Read MoreTaking Sphero's BB-8 Force Band for a spin
Sep 01, 4:01AM
Sphero’s BB-8 was arguably the compelling bit of merchandizing, which is, naturally, saying a lot. The latest Star Wars film was, as anticipated, a merch juggernaut, but there was no better bit of serendipity than a startup smartphone-controlled toy maker and the movie’s scene stealing droid. How does one go about improving up such a glorious bit of cross over marketing? Use the… Read MoreCrunch Report | Instagram Zoom, Bill Nye and Aviato mobile
Sep 01, 3:50AM
Steve Jobs’ turtleneck is up for auction, you can now zoom in on Instagram photos, Bill Nye is getting his own talk show on Netflix, Tile has a new slimmer Tile, and you can finally rent Erlich Bachman’s car on Turo. All this on Crunch Report. Read More
Nvidia and Baidu partner on a 'top-to-bottom' platform for self-driving cars
Sep 01, 3:41AM
Nvidia co-founder and CEO Jen-Hsun Huang revealed a new partnership on stage at Baidu’s annual Baidu World conference today. This partnership with Baidu will see Nvidia and the Chinese tech giant work together on building a comprehensive autonomous driving platform. “We’re going to bring together the technical capabilities, our expertise in AI, and the skills of two… Read MoreBaidu gets approval to test self-driving cars in California
Sep 01, 3:23AM
Baidu received an Autonomous Vehicle Testing Permit from the California DMV, the company revealed today. This paves the way for Baidu USA to begin testing its self-driving car technologies on public roads in California, which it says it will do soon. The Baidu autonomous driving research team in the U.S. was announced earlier this year, saying it was targeting reaching a 100-person research… Read MoreKim Dotcom's extradition appeal has started and is being live-streamed
Sep 01, 2:55AM
More than four years later, Kim Dotcom’s legal battles (at least in New Zealand) may be close to an end. His final appeal to avoid extradition to face charges in the U.S started yesterday in Auckland’s High Court, and is expected to last six weeks. And, in a first for any case in New Zealand (and in typical Kim Dotcom fashion), the appeal is being live-streamed. All of the… Read MoreApplying analytics to clinical data
Sep 01, 2:00AM
Advanced technologies and the rapid adoption of electronic health records are enabling the physical world to merge with the digital, leading to explosive growth in the volume and quality of clinical data. Cognified care is the application of analytics to transform this newly available digitized clinical data into knowledge that can revolutionize healthcare. Read MoreSecret 'bursts into flames' feature may be behind Samsung's Note 7 delays
Sep 01, 1:00AM
The Galaxy Note 7 seems like a pretty decent phone if you like phones literally the size of the galaxy (Brian does) — but be aware that Samsung’s curvy-screened flagship device may be prone to, well, exploding. Fear not, however: Samsung is looking into it.
