IBM has made a computer which is smaller than a grain of salt, and the miniature marvel will be unveiled later today at the firm’s Think 2018 conference. It’ll cost less than 10 cents to produce these grain-sized computers but, obviously enough, they aren’t something you’ll be running Microsoft Word on. The tiny devices are part of IBM’s vision for future technology – they will be ‘cryptographic anchors’ embedded in everyday objects, used to ensure the object’s authenticity in combination with b

It has come to light that Apple is running a secret manufacturing facility close to its Cupertino headquarters dedicated to developing and testing its own displays.

The LG V30 was the firm’s first ever phone with an OLED display, but it sounds like the LG G7 is going to go back to the old faithful LCD screen tech, if a new report is to be believed.

Make it a good one, as you’ll be staring at, well, its pixel-filled butt for a good while on your run. But I instantly enjoyed running with Zwift more than staring at a hotel gym wall. That said, I enjoyed the run far more than on any other treadmill workout I’ve done. Zwift says this is something that is being considered at the moment, and I’m crossing all my fingers this happens. If you’re injured, or prefer not to exercise outside for personal reasons, Zwift Run is a magical way to enjoy runn

Working out the intentions of other human drivers usually isn’t too difficult – and most people will vociferously let you know if you go wrong – but what happens with self-driving cars? Uber thinks it might have an answer, as per a recently filed patent: flashing lights and signs on the outside of self-driving cars that tell pedestrians exactly what’s happening.
