The latest wearable from Garmin uses Heart Rate Variability (HRV) readings for all-day stress tracking. How your breath unlocks secrets to your stressesThere are a number of devices on the market that have been created for wellbeing tracking. But not all stress is created equalIn our eyes, the biggest hurdle to overcome when it comes to stress tracking is subjectivity. Neema Moraveji, Spire co-founderIt’s interesting that his vision of the future is more of a joined-up approach. “We’ve created a

The iPhone 8 rumors are picking up momentum ahead of an expected September reveal, and the latest clues for iPhone 8 detectives to pore over are a couple of leaked photos showing the front and the back of Apple’s upcoming handset. There are no regulatory markings on the phone, and it isn’t powered on, which points to this being a dummy unit based on the iPhone 8 design specifications rather than an actual iPhone 8 – something that another Apple leaker, Benjamin Geskin , suggests on Twitter. Appl

Good news, your Amazon Prime subscription comes with hundreds of the best TV shows (and movies) – for free. That’s why, ahead of the expected Amazon Prime Day date in July, we’re listing the best Amazon Prime Instant Video TV shows you can stream in the US. Notice, there are more Amazon Instant Video Originals than last year, with the online retailer trying to compete with the original TV shows that are now a large part of our best Netflix TV shows. What’s the best Amazon TV show to get sucked i

VentureBeat reports that Samsung is slapping a €999 price tag on the phone, which based on our quick calculations works out at £875, US$1,120 and AU$1,475. However, we rarely see straight currency conversions on handsets, and VentureBeat’s Evan Blass says the Note 8 will retail for around US$925 in the States. That €999 would make the Galaxy Note 8 the most expensive smartphone Samsung has ever pushed out, and it means only those with deep pockets will be able to afford one. Attention to details

Biohacking is, by way of a definition, a systems-based approach to managing your body. Building blocksPerhaps most promisingly – and often controversially – genetic engineering is the most extreme example of biohacking: tweaking and manipulating the very building blocks of life. Although existing UK data protection laws cover the general principles around medical and personal data, the volume and unique nature of genetic information raises specific challenges. The group is the brainchild of Futu

Most of the film is people looking scared at smoke that’s obviously come from a rented smoke machine situated behind the camera. Smoke, I can only presume given the name of the movie isn’t Smoke Blast, that’s meant to actually be freezing fog. When people aren’t looking scared at the rented smoke machine smoke, they are walking while looking scared at the rented smoke machine smoke or running scared while looking at the rented smoke machine smoke. Then, in a massive twist, we get a rented smoke

While everyone knows that most Linux distributions (distros) are free to download, not everybody is aware that you also have access to thousands of cost-free applications through your operating system’s package manager. Many of the more user-friendly distros will come with a selection of software preinstalled to help you get started, but there are many more apps out in the wild, under continuous development. In this guide we’ll highlight 10 of the best desktop applications for Linux. All of thes

Since it arrived on the scene in 2004 with a whopping 1GB of free storage space for users, Gmail has been funded by targeted advertising linked to the content of your emails, but that’s going to change later this year. Ostensibly it’s to bring the consumer version of Gmail into line with the G Suite version of Gmail that Google offers to businesses: the paid-for option has never had inbox scanning and now the free option will follow suit. It all ads upIn reality, Google probably now has enough d

WhatsApp already allows users to send a range of file types with each other without any fuss, but it appears that soon all file types will be supported on the mega-popular messaging service. A test is currently undergoing with a small set of users for an update that adds the ability to send any kind of file between users on WhatsApp, according to Android Central. That means that files outside of the currently supported types — which include .TXT, .CSV, .PDF, and even Microsoft Office files like

Though Instagram is a number-one destination for sharing your latest pictures with the world, there are times when you prefer to not give your latest pic to a massive audience of strangers. To that end, Instagram is testing out a “Favorites” feature allowing users to share pictures that are only visible to a smaller, pre-selected group of followers, according to The Verge. Previously, Instagram users would get around separating fully public posts from friends-only posts by simply operating two s

The Android in-app browser WebView has had a security update in an effort to keep your device safe. And unfortunately, being a micro-browser that can fit inside an app means that it isn’t quite as robust as the main Chrome browser. This causes problems when thinking about the security of your device, as an insecure browser is an obvious vulnerability for those with nefarious intentions looking to gain access to your device. Safe and simpleThankfully Google has now upped the level of security, in

Update: At a behind-closed-doors event during this year’s E3, Ubisoft revealed the first early in-engine footage of Beyond Good & Evil 2 and now it’s available to watch online. If you start out with a smaller ship and move up to a larger one, you can store the smaller ship inside it and expand your crew too. Probably not anytime soon: 2018/2019 seems likelyTrailersAt a behind-closed-doors event during this year’s E3, Ubisoft revealed the first early in-engine footage of Beyond Good & Evil 2 and

We’re all very busy, aren’t we? We’re overwhelmed with social media, with personal email, with work email, with all those backups and cloud storage and essential online services that make our increasingly web-based lives what they are. So what if there was a way to tie them all together? IFTTT and Zapier are automation tools that can tie together and pass data between your social media accounts, your cloud storage, your email and beyond, whether you’re using mainstream services or more hardcore

Microsoft’s Whiteboard app has been leaked online, revealing some further features and details about the software which will be coming to stylus-toting Windows 10 devices later this year. So, aside from the features we’ve already heard Microsoft enthuse about such as geometry recognition and automatic table shading, what fresh revelations are here? Bing bonusYes, Bing searches are directly integrated into Whiteboard, so you can hand-write a search term, and the app will go off and find relevant

If you get your morning coffee from a vending machine, it might soon be able to recognize your face and prepare your brew without you pressing a single button. You could also get loyalty rewards for using the same machine for your caffeine fix every day, and even get special offers tailored to your preferences. Canonical – the company behind the Ubuntu Linux distro – is working with Spanish smart vending firm InnovaPOS to make machines that do much more than just swallow your change and beep. Cu

However, I couldn’t pass up the chance to test something out in the race, especially having spent an entire marathon recently without technology. I looked down at my wrist at the Garmin Forerunner 935 that I’m currently reviewing and had an idea. But I supposed that it wasn’t going to be totally accurate, so 0.05 miles accuracy per ping wasn’t too bad. This was a problem, as I now wasn’t going to know when the 6.9 mile point was reached and I had 10KM left to go. I checked my Garmin: over a 13.1

Airbnb has started introducing a new feature that allows payment for a property to be split between as many as 16 different accounts, which will be a welcome addition for anyone planning a getaway with a big group of friends. Even with the developments in peer to peer payments with companies like Venmo, the process of getting your money back is still more than a little like herding cats. This is the latest in a series of improvements that Airbnb is making in its payment practices. The new split

Google has expanded its content removal policy for personal information and as a result, private medical records will no longer appear in Google search results. According to a report from Bloomberg, the ‘Information we may remove’ section of Google’s Removal Policy was quietly changed on June 22 to include “confidential, personal medical records of private people.”If you’re wondering how private medical records could appear in Google’s search results in the first place, it’s perfectly possible f

At the time, the Ice Bucket Challenge was tarred with the same brush as many online movements – scathingly dubbed ‘slacktivism’. The idea is that sitting on your phone, liking a tweet that supports a cause is a futile endeavour; that social media isn’t capable of really making a difference. Opening up lines of communicationWe were invited to an event hosted by Facebook to talk about how social media can be used to promote causes. Ambler started the #itsokaytotalk hashtag as a continuation of the

There’s been plenty of buzz about Apple’s supercharged iMac Pro since it was revealed earlier this month, and now the grapevine claims that this pricey all-in-one will run with Intel’s latest server-grade processors (as opposed to consumer-targeted CPUs) coupled with an ARM coprocessor. In other words, the iMac will be driven by Skylake-EX and Skylake-EP processors sitting in Intel’s LGA3647 socket, as opposed to desktop CPUs nestled in a LGA2066 socket. Yes, in case you somehow missed it, the i
