Augmented reality (AR) is about to make shopping online for furniture a heck of a lot easier. I tried to access AR View in reverse by going to my wish list and choosing furniture from there, but there were no links on the landing pages for seeing my prairie-style lamps in AR View. But AR View works well with the relatively few items currently on offer. At least it’s easy to buy items. The feature is currently only available for the iPhone 6S and higher, and the device needs to be running iOS 11.

A Polish retail site may have just leaked the price for Apple’s upcoming AirPower wireless charging mat for the iPhone 8 and iPhone X, and it looks like it works out to around $199. Doing a straight-forward conversion of $199 puts the possible AirPower price at £150 / AU$260. However, in the UK at least, AirPower is likely to cost £199, if the US figure is accurate. Hit the matIt’s a big departure in price, though, from the wireless charging pads available from the likes of Belkin, Samsung and M

The Pixel 2 XL regularly put forward all-day battery performance as our trusty camera, along with being our guide on Google Maps. I’m not here to argue that the Google Pixel 2 is better than a DSLR. That is, until the Google Pixel 3 comes out.

Microphones work by translating those vibrations into electronic signals, and then passing those signals on to something else – usually a computer of some sort. Those hairs, which are spread across the body, move with the sound waves travelling through the air. In a study recently published in the journal PNAS, Miles and Zhou lay out a system that uses spider silk to do something similar. “We coated spider silk with gold and put it in a magnetic field to obtain an electronic signal,” said Miles.

As previously promised, Russia is cracking down on VPN services, with a new law that comes into force today giving the government fresh powers to ensure that websites that it wants blocked, stay blocked. In short, a VPN will no longer be an effective way to get around such government censorship – providing that VPN services enact the law as required. Refusing isn’t an optionIf the VPN provider refuses to register with Roskomnadzor and implement the watchdog’s blacklist of sites within a month, t

Following criticism from Consumer Reports that you may recall from back in the summer, Microsoft has revealed a fresh statistic in defense of the reliability of its Surface devices, and it’s a bold claim indeed. Ryan Gavin, who is General Manager, Microsoft Surface, told ZDNet that Surface machines were getting more and more reliable as time goes on, and that ‘reliability issues’ among the newer Surface devices were very rare indeed. In other words, fewer than one in 100,000 of these devices pro
