This is the SiOnyx Aurora action camera, but rather than just being another GoPro wannabe it does things a little differently, as it’s claimed to be the first day/night camera of its kind. The Aurora, which hit its $50,000 Kickstarter goal in under four hours, features a large 1.0-inch sensor (substantially larger than those found in most action cameras) that’s teamed with SiOnyx’s new semiconductor process, which is said to dramatically enhance infrared sensitivity. The Aurora features a dedica

Mozilla, creator of Firefox, is conducting an experiment to see if online advertising can be made ethical. Mozilla integrated Pocket into Firefox in 2015, and early last year Mozilla acquired the company so the two could work even more closely. Your browser, your dataWhen Firefox Quantum launched late last year, it came with a new feature: Pocket Recommendations. However, your data is never sent to Mozilla, Pocket, or any third parties. For a small group of Firefox users, those Pocket Recommenda

Intel has revealed it’s discontinuing its quad-core Kaby Lake-X processors, a mere 11 months after they were first announced, with the company explaining its plans for the chips’ EOL (end of life) status. It didn’t help that the Kaby Lake-X lineup was outshone by the Skylake-X processors, as they offered fewer PCIe lanes, ‘only’ four cores and support for just dual channel memory. So, if you want to get a Kaby Lake-X processor, you have around a year left to buy them. Graphic ambitionsMeanwhile,

Rumors for the Samsung Gear S4 have begun trickling out over the last few months and the excitement is starting to build after last year’s Samsung Gear Sport was a limited upgrade. Previously Samsung has split the Gear S3 range into the Gear S3 Frontier and Gear S3 Classic, but each watch was the same size with a 1.3-inch screen on each. It may also be the larger watch offers LTE features and the smaller one doesn’t. That said, Samsung later brought mobile internet features to an upgraded Gear S

Microsoft has updated its Translator app for Windows 10 to incorporate Cortana and bring Windows Ink support into the mix, among some other goodies. You can now also join a live translated conversation across multiple languages. So, for example, you can simply say: “Hey Cortana, start a conversation in Translator”, or ask the assistant to join an existing conversation (of course, you must provide the relevant conversation code, too). Note that Cortana is only supported for a small number of lang

Facebook has already pushed back the launch of its smart speaker, but now it looks like when it does launch it’ll avoid the US, at least to start with. According to a report from CNBC, Facebook was originally planning on using its F8 conference to launch a pair of smart speakers, but pushed the launch back due to the Cambridge Analytica scandal, and when they do launch, Facebook may start with an ‘international’ launch first.

Bang & Olufsen is looking back to some of its classic designs for inspiration as it today announces the arrival of its B&O Play Earset wireless headphones.

There’s good news for those looking forward to the Red Hydrogen One smartphone as the firm has confirmed the feature set for the device is now locked down – but there’s also bad news. Originally slated for a Q1 2018 arrival, Red took to its forum with a “late and better is better than just late” post which confirmed that the Hydrogen One release date is now slated for August. The reason for the delay is a good one though, as Red is taking the additional time to add dual cameras on both the front

I’ve just been thrown around, sprayed with water, hissed at and smacked my head twice while I’m trying to watch the new Avengers: Infinity War film. Brave (ish) new worldHowever, in the more dramatic scenes you’re not at the cinema anymore, you’re at a theme park. I didn’t want my normal cinema experience upgraded, I wanted a whole new way of watching a film. An intriguing conceptFor all the criticism above, I enjoyed my 4DX experience.

So this makes the Redmi Note 5 Pro , Nokia 6 (2018) and the Zenfone Max Pro M1 the worthy contenders for the comparison.

Fedora 28 has been released, with three fresh variants of the Linux distro – Workstation, Server and Atomic Host – having emerged. Fedora is the free community-supported version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and as you’d expect, Fedora 28 brings a raft of bug fixes across the board, not to mention a boost on the performance front. Fedora 28 Server has also gained support for 64-bit ARM as a primary architecture, expanding options on the hardware front. Finally, when it comes to Fedora 28 Atomic H

People will be able to make a dating profile that’s separate from their Facebook profile (a little heart icon will take you to your dating profile). Facebook assures the dating profile won’t be visible to your Facebook friends, nor will it show up in places like the News Feed. After finding someone you’re interested in, you’ll then choose a photo of theirs that acts a “conversation starter.” Facebook isn’t ready to launch dating profiles yet, and says it will share more details as testing begins

Sling TV is expanding its Cloud DVR service to dozens of devices, DISH announced today. Like Cloud DVR on rival services like PlayStation Vue or YouTube TV, Sling TV’s digital DVR allows you to record any number of shows simultaneously for later viewing.

Considering that a Sling TV DVR package only costs an extra $5 per month for 50 hours of storage space, the $5 admission fee is
