Aug 05, 12:22AM
Oculus may be aiming to become the content power house of virtual reality, but it’s still making efforts to play nice with other ecosystems. In a new update rolling out today for PCs, Oculus has added support for launching off-platform titles, meaning most critically, that gamers will be able to access all the available Rift-compatible apps and games in-headset without having to… Read MoreWatch how SpaceX imagines a perfect Falcon Heavy launch will go

Aug 04, 11:18PM
Luis Fonsi’s “Despacito ft. Daddy Yankee” is not only the most-streamed song of all time, it also is the most-watched YouTube video ever, surpassing more than 3 billion views on the Alphabet-owned video site. The previously most-watched video, Wiz Khalifa’s “See You Again” held the crown for just over three weeks, though Despacito’s reign will likely… Read MorePhree is a digital stylus that works on any surface – almost
Aug 04, 11:10PM
Developed by Israel-based OTM Technologies, Phree is a digital pen that you can use to, in the words of the CEO, express yourself anywhere, anytime on any surface. Well, almost any surface. It doesn’t write on glass, and it writes ineffectively on bumpy surfaces like crackers, as demonstrated by Gilad Lederer, OTM co-founder and CEO. Read MoreHere are the 67 new emoji that might hit phones in 2018
Aug 04, 11:02PM
Does the world need more emoji? Probably not. Will it get them? Absolutely. I mean, there’s a whole movie about them now — which, despite getting absolutely wrecked by the critics, still made around $25 million dollars in its opening weekend. Hell, they’ve already started narrowing down which ones will be added in 2018. Here’s the list. Read More3D-printed fruit will help your real apples taste better
Aug 04, 10:44PM
There may be a pretender in your next box of fruit, a fake fruit that tracks temperatures, motion and shocks to ensure your plums are sweet and hard and your peaches are pretty as can be. Created by Empa, the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology, the project involves a 3D-printed apple that hides in with all the real apples and contains a number of sensors.… Read MoreInternet of Bees device tracks hive health
Aug 04, 10:41PM
As we all know, the bee population is declining at an alarming rate, and while the causes are many, the solutions are few. At the very least, beekeepers need to keep an extra-close eye on their hives — which can be difficult when there are a few thousand of them. A Canadian researcher is working on a monitoring system that listens to the buzz and passes on word if things are going south.

Aug 04, 10:15PM
If you own a Google Home, you’re already on the cutting-edge of future-dwelling space astronauts who can shout things at their house and have it respond. Want to be even more cutting-edge? Though it hasn’t been formally announced, it looks like Google is working on a Google Home preview program that’ll grant early access to upcoming Home features to those who opt in. Read MoreThe next Apple Watch reportedly won't need an iPhone for data
Aug 04, 9:50PM
The Apple Watch is one slick piece of engineering — but it’s not without its faults. Amongst other things: If you want to leave your phone at home, your smartwatch is suddenly a good bit less smart. Without an iPhone nearby, it can’t pull data over the cell networks. According to the latest whispers out of the rumor mill, that might be about to change. Read MoreGoogle and Facebook envision Stories for news, not social
Aug 04, 9:36PM
Stories taught us the joy of dictating the pace of content consumption. We fast-forward in 10-second increments, with a quick trigger finger let loose the moment we get bored. That’s why soon, endless paragraphs of text and time-consuming videos might not be the only ways to get the news. Read MoreHolodeckVR is turning location-based VR into a multi-user social adventure
Aug 04, 8:22PM
Whether or not consumer VR becomes as widespread as many hope, there’s no denying that a lot of the current technology is a blast to try. For interested startups like Munich-based HolodeckVR perhaps the most ready opportunity is capturing the attention of amusement park-goers with attractive location-based multi-user VR experiences. Read MoreAmazon launches 'Themes,' a feature for filtering Customer Reviews by popular terms
Aug 04, 7:39PM
Amazon has quietly launched a new feature called “Themes,” designed to make it easier for shoppers to navigate a product’s customer reviews. Now, in the Amazon mobile app, you’re able to see which words have been used the most frequently across the reviews left by other customers, and then tap a button to hop straight to a filtered selection of reviews that include… Read MoreOmega Ophthalmics is an eye implant platform with the power of continuous AR
Aug 04, 7:06PM

Aug 04, 7:04PM
Google is creating a visual publication format for media companies similar to Snapchat’s “Discover,” based on its AMP mobile optimization technology for webpages and called “Stamp,” according to a new Wall Street Journal report.

Aug 04, 6:00PM
In a video out of North Carolina State University and Duke, five tiny cubes float freely under a microscope. Suddenly two pairs snap together, before all five combine into a single unit. Once together, they bend around a hinge, snapping together like Pac-Man’s jaws. The cubes approach a small, circular object — a single yeast cell — using the opening and closing motion to… Read MoreThe CJR Commander adds some aviationpunk to your wrist
Aug 04, 5:59PM
Another weekend, another mechanical watch. This time we have the Commander from CJR, the company that brought us the Airspeed last year. This unique piece features an unusual curved dial and rotor-like seconds wheel that harkens back to some strange alternate future where airplanes become sentient. Early bird watches cost $449 and come on a thick leather strap. “The aircraft industry is… Read MoreFacebook tests 'going live' from Facebook Camera, Live Stories like Instagram
