Checkers champHe had an interest in machine learning with regards to checkers, which he perceived to be an ideal subject due to the simplicity of the game. This paved the way for more ground-breaking work in the field of machine learning. In 2012 at Google X Labs, a machine learning algorithm was designed to go through YouTube videos, and independently identify those that have a cat in the video stream. The technology of machine learning has also been applied to robots and their ability to carry

While the Dell XPS 15 2018 came out in May of this year, past XPS 15 models haven’t been totally consistent.

However, this just makes us more excited for what the Razer Blade 2019 will look like, because if one thing drives innovation, it’s competition. Probably around $1,899 (£1,989, AU$2,899)We know the Razer Blade 2019 is coming, we just don’t know when. The last two models of the Blade have released in May, so it’s likely that Razer will follow the same pattern with the 2019 Razer Blade, too. Razer Blade 2019 priceOne of the biggest drawbacks of the Razer Blade has always been its high price. Howev

Dell’s next XPS 13 UltrabookDell’s next XPS 13 Ultrabook When is it out? Likely starting at $1,099 (£1,099, AU$1,869)Right now, there is no information about the Dell XPS 13 2019 release date.

In a study the results of which have been published in science journal PLOS One , researchers asked 89 participants to simply turn off SoftBank Robotics’ cute humanoid robot Nao after engaging in some basic interaction with it – so far, so easy, right? The study’s abstract explains:“Results show that participants rather let the robot stay switched on when the robot objected. After the functional interaction, people evaluated the robot as less likeable, which in turn led to a reduced stress exper

While it might not seem that way at first glance, a core inspiration for Microsoft’s new Surface Go tablet came from an executive’s time away from technology. That’s what Microsoft Modern Life and Devices team lead Yusuf Mehdi told The Washington Post recently. Mehdi goes on to say that the Surface Go captures how the company is thinking about how technology products and services should fit into users’ lives. In short, devices and services should work to get out of their way, not draw them in an

Now, the company is rolling out a new console equipped with an AMD Zen chip complete with Vega graphics that could spell out the future for gaming boxes to come. This chip’s closest computer-borne analog would be the AMD Ryzen 7 2700U mobile APU. Interestingly enough, the 2700U runs at a faster clock, but features 14 fewer compute units attached to its Radeon RX Vega 10 graphics. This also basically rings true for this chip’s closest desktop APU relative, the AMD Ryzen 5 2400G. While we’re unlik

The patent describes a bank of stored accents, against which the speaker’s voice is compared and matched. Once the accent is correctly identified, the translator converts the speech into the accent of the listener in real time, allowing the conversation to flow smoothly. Many users are still reporting problems with voice-activated assistants like the Amazon Echo, Google Home, and Apple Homepod recognizing strong accents, so Amazon’s patent could well be an attempt to address such bugs. It could

There’s not many OnePlus 6T leaks or rumors at the moment, but we’ll be constantly updating this page whether we here something new. There’s no word currently on the OnePlus 6T price, but the OnePlus 6 started at $529 / £469 (around AU$840) and prices have been gradually creeping up since the range began, so we expect the OnePlus 6T will cost at least that much, if not slightly more. OnePlus 6T news and rumorsThe phone may well have a glass back, since OnePlus only recently switched to glass wit

Panasonic has revealed a pair of refreshed rugged Windows 10 tablets with faster processors and an impressively diverse range of configuration options for those who need a slate that can survive in more extreme working environments. The tablets in question are the Panasonic Toughpad FZ-G1 and FZ-M1. The front camera is a 2-megapixel affair, while the rear camera is an 8-megapixel model, the latter of which now has an LED flash. The FZ-G1 tablet can also be equipped with a thermal camera as an op

The keycaps would also be touch sensitive according to this concept, and that would allow for the user to swipe gestures over them to achieve certain functions. Another idea is an actual ‘keyboard’ accessory that’s merely the core physical keys fashioned as an overlay, which can be placed on top of the virtual keyboard base, and the latter would still be used to detect key presses. Essentially giving you an option on a physical keyboard of sorts when required for, say, longer typing sessions on

If you’re looking for information on the new iPhones rumored to arrive this year, you’ve come to the right place. Current rumors point towards the cleaner iPhone 11 name, but this is a handset that’s set to replace the iPhone X, so names such as the iPhone XI and iPhone X2 are not out of the question. A super-sized version of the iPhone X replacementThe iPhone 9 Plus would be an obvious new iPhone candidate for 2018 as it would follow on from the iPhone 8 Plus, but the more iPhone leaks we see t

After focusing on the smartwatch market for the last year with the launch of the Versa and Ionic, Fitbit is about to return to its fitness tracker roots with a new product called the Fitbit Charge 3. One of the most interesting design tweaks is the lack of a button on the left hand side of the device. Credit: NieuweMobielOn the Fitbit Charge 2 this was the main way to interact with the tracker, but now it looks to be an indent rather than a full button. That may mean the company has included a t

From now on, sharing your location with a friend via Google Maps will also share your battery status, so they won’t be alarmed if you suddenly ‘vanish’ and stop answering their calls. Google added location sharing to Google Maps last year, helping solve the problem of guessing how long it’ll take for you to arrive at a restaurant (and whether your friends should go ahead and order without you). Sharing is caringTo use location sharing, tap the options menu in the app and select ‘Share location’.

Players on PUBG mobile can now access a host of Mission: Impossible-themed content, after the battle royale shooter announced a month-long tie-in event throughout August. Mission Impossible: Fallout is the latest film in Tom Cruise’s bombastic action series, and seems an appropriate fit for the gritty gunplay of PUBG’s free-for-all game mode, which sees 100 players duke it out to be the last one standing. Players can also set the game’s background music to a riff on the Mission: Impossible sound

We now know almost everything there is to know about the Samsung Galaxy Note 9, but a new leaked video directly from Samsung may have just spoiled the final secret – the storage. The news is it’ll come in a 512GB version as well as 512GB of microSD storage. That’ll make it one of the first phones you can buy that can offer 1TB of storage. This all comes from a leaked video from Samsung’s New Zealand account, which accidentally published an official pre-order advert for the upcoming phone. It com
