Sounds like Apple is having to pull out all the stops to get the iPhone 8 ready on time: a new report from Asia says the company has started buying and leasing out its own manufacturing equipment in a bid to make sure it’s got enough phone parts to keep up with expected demand. That’s according to The Korea Herald , usually a fairly reliable source of insider Apple info from the supply chain. The Herald says Apple’s new machinery is responsible for making rigid flexible printed circuit boards (R

As you can imagine, drones competing in the Drone Racing League (DRL) like to go fast. As for how fast, the DRL has just set an impressive new record for other drone racers to aspire to. A RacerX drone built by DRL director of product Ryan Gury, alongside DRL engineers, achieved a Guinness World Record today for the “fastest ground speed by a battery-powered remote-controlled quadcopter,” clocking in a top speed of 163.5 miles per hour. Though DRL’s achievement is certainly worth a notice to any

Microsoft has announced via both a forum post and through its support site that the brand new Surface Pro ’s well-document sleeping problem is no more. For those who may not have experienced this issue, like us, a considerable number of new Surface Pro owners reported their tablets were randomly entering a “Sleep” state. Naturally, the fix was made available through the Windows Update channel via Windows 10 ’s Settings menu on July 13, with Microsoft’s BryanH alerting users on July 14. In the pa

If you thought Facebook was running out of ways to help you bombard your friends’ News Feeds, think again. It appears the social media giant is testing out a new feature for its mobile app that allows you to make your own GIFs, according to The Next Web. Found in the upper portion of the app’s camera, the GIF maker seemingly allows for short, looping video that can be augmented with effects and captions. We’ve asked Facebook for more information and will update this story as new details emerge.

Amazon’s Alexa intelligent assistant will soon arrive on the HTC U11, giving owners an alternative to Google Assistant. pic.twitter.com/oZ62kgHqONJuly 14, 2017In many ways, Alexa and Google Assistant are similar. Aside from the inherent cross-functionality between the Alexa app and Echo devices, this personal assistant won’t do much more for the average user than Google’s Assistant. The big question that remains is whether HTC and Amazon have worked together on any unique functionality for the U

As a result, there are headsets in the works from VR industry leaders HTC and Oculus that are attempting to figure out the solution for inside-out tracking – basically allowing the headset itself to sense where it is in space. One company has managed to beat the giants to the punch however, using an iPhone 7 and Apple’s all-new augmented reality software ARKit. Nexus is the first to admit that this is a test, and that it only works at 60 frames per second, which isn’t high enough for fluid head

It’s been a couple of years since the Amazon Echo was first released in the US, and it makes sense that Amazon would have started to prepare a follow-up. A follow up to 2014’s Amazon EchoA follow up to 2014’s Amazon Echo When is it out? We’re going to be really boring here and predict that the new Amazon Echo will be called the Amazon Echo once more or, at a push, the Amazon Echo (2nd Generation). However, the speaker might end up being called the Amazon Echo (2nd generation) because this is the

When was the last time you read a terms and conditions document in its entirety? The clause states that anyone agreeing to the conditions would find themselves cleaning up after festival goers, scrubbing toilets and “manually relieving sewer blockages”. Instead, Purple seems only to want to raise the point that terms of service sheets should not be ignored. Indeed, they offered a prize to anyone who spotted the “community service clause” but, according to The Guardian, only one user did. An exce

A team from the ETH university in Zurich has managed to create a soft silicone heart that pumps in a way similar to its organic counterpart. One material that has proven to be accepted by bodies, that can also be 3D printed, is silicone. With advancements in 3D printing, it has become easier to print soft shapes, an essential thing when thinking about replacing organs. Want to read more about 3D printed organs?

There’s no official release date but 2019 seems likelyThere’s no official release date but 2019 seems likely What will it play on? In an investor call in early 2016 it was suggested that Cyberpunk 2077 would be released before June 2019.

The high-end model is the Radeon Vega XTX, which will come in two flavors – a normal air-cooled version, and also a water-cooled variant (much as the Frontier Edition also offers a choice of air or liquid cooling). Obviously, the water-cooled model will be more expensive, and capable of being cranked further on the overclocking front. The XTX water-cooled board will run with a TDP of 375W, whereas the air-cooled effort will have a TDP of 285W. Compute countFinally, the lower-end model will be th

We weren’t fans of the original Pokémon Go Plus. But now the accessory is getting a new version that can be worn on the finger as a ring. The original Pokémon Go Plus was equipped with a button that you press to interact with virtual landmarks and creatures rather than having to hold your phone. For now the ring is only available in Japan, where it retails for 400 yen (around $3.50/ £2.70), so you’ll need to import it if you want to play Pokémon Go without really knowing what you’re doing.
