Samsung's dual-screen folding phone is very strange and probably doomed
Nov 07, 10:50PM
Let me just say that I love the idea of a folding phone/tablet device. I was a Courier fanboy when Microsoft floated that intriguing but abortive concept device, and I'm all for unique form factors and things that bend. But Samsung's first real shot at a folding device is inexplicable and probably dead on arrival. I'd like to congratulate the company for trying something new, but this one needed a little more time in the oven.
Here's what Samsung's wacky folding phone looks like in action
Nov 07, 9:47PM
As rumored, Samsung showed off a prototype of a folding display today. Folded, it’s a smartphone. Unfolded, it’s a tablet. Neat! Less neat: The company sort of went out of its way to not really show very much. A prototype was onstage for about 45 seconds, and it was deliberately backlit to be intensely silhouetted. […]

Netflix's hackathon produces a way to navigate its iOS app with ARKit and Face ID
Nov 07, 7:32PM
Netflix’s internal hackathons have consistently produced fun and often silly hacks, from that “Netflixtendo” hack a few years ago that let you run Netflix on the original NES to the more recent “audiobook mode” that turned Netflix series into old-school radio shows by way of Audio Descriptions. This year’s hackathon doesn’t disappoint either, with new […]

Nov 07, 6:54PM
It’s been a four-year wait since Harley-Davidson first showed off a concept electric motorcycle. Now, the production-ready bike — called the Harley-Davidson LiveWire — is finally here. Well, almost. The Milwaukee, Wisconsin-based company unveiled the production-ready electric motorcycle Tuesday at the EICMA motorcycle show in Italy. It won’t be available, though, until next year. Harley […]
