Without proof, is Huawei still a national security threat?
Jan 26, 11:54PM
It’s Huawei vs. the U.S., the U.K., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and most of Europe and Japan. It’s almost as if the world’s biggest surveillance superpowers don’t want Huawei cell tower and networking router equipment inside critical networks in their countries, amid concerns of the company’s links to the Chinese military. Huawei, they say, could […]
What (we think) we know about the Samsung Galaxy S10

The Galaxy S10 will be revealed at an event in San Francisco on February 20. This much we know for sure. Samsung sent out invites for the event sporting a giant number a few weeks back.

How have tariffs impacted robotics?
Jan 26, 8:54PM
In July, Tim Cook met Donald Trump in the Oval Office to deliver a simple message. “Our view on tariffs is that they show up as a tax on the consumer and end up resulting in lower economic growth," the executive told the President.

Has the fight over privacy changed at all in 2019?
Jan 26, 8:21PM
Few issues divide the tech community quite like privacy. Much of Silicon Valley's wealth has been built on data-driven advertising platforms, and yet, there remain constant concerns about the invasiveness of those platforms. Such concerns have intensified in just the last few weeks as France's privacy regulator placed a record fine on Google under Europe's […]
One-quarter of jobs are at 'high-risk' of being automated
Jan 26, 6:37PM
No one will be entirely safe from automation in the future, but according to a new study out of the Brookings Institute, around 25 percent of U.S. jobs are at "high risk."

The state of the foldable
Jan 26, 4:37PM
You'd be forgiven for being cynical. I've been seeing foldable display concepts for as long as I've been attending tech trade shows (which, quite frankly, is longer than I care to mention). Big names like Samsung and LG have been pumping countless R&D dollars into the technology in hopes of being first to next step […]

Jan 25, 11:13PM
The gaming world is excited to play Anthem, BioWare's answer to Destiny and other big-budget online shooters — but an exclusive preview weekend for the mech-flying game has struggled to get off the ground. Of course, it wouldn't be a game launch these days without a few hiccups to spice things up, but it is a little embarrassing.

Apple has registered new iPad models in the Eurasian Economic Commission reference database.

Jan 25, 4:56PM
For all those wondering why we haven't heard much out of the Metroid Prime 4 camp since the title was announced at E3 2017 (with an admittedly underwhelming trailer), Nintendo just offered a surprisingly frank answer. Senior Managing Executive Officer Shinya Takahashi appeared in a video to explain that game development thus far has failed […]
