James Cameron's 'Alita: Battle Angel' stars creepy CG anime eyes  James Cameron has been toying with the idea of remaking Battle Angel Alita for decades now (seriously I wrote about it back in 2009). Now with its first trailer the anime adaptation finally seems to be more than a myth. It centers on a scientist (Christoph Waltz) who discovers and repairs a trashed cyborg Alita (Rose Salazar). And as these stories tend to go  it turns out shes a bit of an ass-kicking powerhouse. (Her giant CG anime eyes might be enough to make her enemies cower in fear though.)  Unfortunately Cameron isnt directing the film  he handed over those duties to Robert Rodriguez two years ago after he decided the world needs several Avatar sequels. And while Rodriguez hasnt had any huge successes lately the trailer seems more reminiscent of the guy who made Sin City and not the one who made Sin City: A Dame to Kill For.  - Repost from: engadget Post - New Upgrade !!

Google re-enables touch controls for audio playback on the Home Mini  Theres an update on the way for those of you with a Home Mini speaker. Google is rolling out a new feature that lets you use the sides of the device to play or pause whatever youre listening to be it music news or if you want to end a call youre on. Right now the touch-friendly side area of the Home Mini only works to control the volume but now with a long press of the unmarked spots you can have some extra functionality.  Back in October Google had to disable the Home Minis top button after it was reported that the budget speaker was recording basically any and every sound. Thankfully the search giant took care of that issue rather quickly  but those are just the risks you take when you want the lavish life of a smart home.  - Repost from: engadget Post - New Upgrade !!

Researchers use electric currents to detect cancer in human tissue  In a study published recently in Angewandte Chemie researchers demonstrated that an imaging technique called scanning electrochemical microscopy could become a very useful medical tool. Rather than having to use additional chemicals like dyes or fluorescent markers to get a good look at tissue this method uses electrochemical probes to detect natural biomolecules around the tissue.  In this study the researchers used soft microelectrodes that were brushed gently across tissue samples. While it moved across them it measured the electrical current produced by certain chemicals in the tissues to get an idea of the physical structure of that tissue as well as its composition. The team provided three separate demonstrations of this techniques use. In the first it scanned mouse livers to show that a certain type of nanoribbon thats being studied as a potential drug delivery mechanism can be distributed throughout the liver. In the second the probes measured hemoglobin proteins to get a full image of a mouse heart (the right side of the image above). And in another experiment the researchers used the technique to show that it can accurately differentiate healthy human tissue from cancerous tissue.  In the future the researchers would like to use this method to not only detect cancerous cells but also destroy them. We are perfectly capable of using electrochemistry to kill cancer cells on microscope slides and in petri dishes Hubert Girault an author of the study said in a statement but doing so in thick tissue is another story.

All the cool gifts are made for spying on you  Its the gift-giving season and high-tech gadgets are more exciting than ever. Alexa Siri Cortana and even Okay Google are ready to come over for holiday ham ready to help you turn on a light or play you some Spotify. Those always-on microphones cameras and WI-FI connected devices are cheaper cooler and more convenient than ever.  Yet you still feel a little weird about their you know baser functions. Google and Amazon only record what they need to. Plus youve read 1984 watched Big Brother (and thought the contestants were nuts for being watched 24-7) and you think spying on peoples everyday lives is generally bad.  And yet look at us. Were marinating in surveillance tech. We carry an always-on combination tracker and eavesdropping device everywhere we go (a smartphone). We agonize over picking out the best smart home microphone-speaker combination. We snarf up the latest in connected appliances. We say yes to all the apps and surf the web looking for deals like its the pre-condom era of porn.  We know the connected devices no matter how big the company they come from are all bug-infested insecure preyed upon and riddled with shady backroom data deals. And yet.  And yet.  The trend toward in-home surveillance devices is only continuing with this years gift-giving aspirations. Here at Engadget were modeling the trend: decrying privacy invasions yet playing with privacy fire indulging our lust for convenience and futurism with all the sexy gadgets on our 2017 best-of gift list.  We want the Echo the Google Home a Sonos One and all the privacy-devouring spy tech we can cram into our voice-activated games console. Im with you! Yet I know better than to let companies spy on me! Give me a new MacBook a Chomebook an iPad or a Surface damn the easily-hackable onboard cameras and microphones full speed ahead. Id push grandpa into a mall fountain and jam his walker into Best Buys revolving doors to get my hands on the hottest new tracking devices the iPhone a Pixel a Galaxy.  And thats the thing: We all know the risks these days. Its not like ten years ago when some of us were trying to raise the alarm about webcam hacking and data dealing and everyone thought we were fringey conspiracy weirdos in tinfoil bras doing Flickr updates from our freaky internet-connected phones.  If anything security and surveillance are even bigger concerns. Just in October a womans new webcam was taken over practically the minute she plugged it in. In a Facebook post she described the incident going on to film the cameras complete hijacking while in progress. But heres the thing: The story didnt surprise anyone and didnt compete with any headlines. Were all like yeah thats a thing that happens now while in our heads we silently practice what well do when it happens to us.  I know what you were thinking when your eyes traveled the wishlist above with the Echos and the Homes and the highly desirable appliances that make Inspector Gadgets kit look like unimaginative stupidity. Youre thinking but Amazon will protect me from unlawful requests and Google Home wouldnt do that on purpose it would harm consumer trust.  And in the instances we know of youd be right. When a man was murdered in November 2015 Amazon initially refused to hand over its Alexa data from the scene of the crime when prosecutors demanded the records. The company said that Alexas questions and answers are protected by the first amendment and Amazon seeks to protect the privacy rights of its customers. Amazon later relented and shared the data when the defendant the Echos owner gave permission. That a hacker had fun turning the Echo into a wiretap did not endeavor to reassure.  And that whole thing where Google Home was recording everything just this last October well that was a bug. Never mind that bug is Facebooks perennial catch-all term/excuse for getting caught doing something people dont like (and thats not a good look for anyone). Google said its little smart home speaker was having an issue that caused it to behave incorrectly. That probably wasnt reassuring for journalist Artem Russokovskii who discovered he was being recorded 24-7.  What can we do but take Google and Amazon at their word? No one trusts these companies or their interests in serving us better ads or suggestions. They say theyll protect us theyre big companies and can afford to properly test everything and they fix their mistakes when we find them.  Havent we learned anything from dystopian books and films? How is this now aspirational? Or is it just that were so miserable from politics that a little convenience-at-a-cost is our only salve to soothe our tortured souls?  Dont feel bad. Everyones doing it the gleeful self-surveillance. Even hackers who know better than anyone and I can tell you that theyre shopping for the same things and going home to strip down and roll in piles of connected crap like they hate privacy too. Were all going to privacy hell together.  Im sure itll be fine. As long as we remember that it pays to be paranoid because were all so depressed and angry at the state of the state that we deserve a little fluff a little fun a little convenience.  Facebook may be insidious Apple mightve conditioned us and everyone with a stake in the surveillance pie has tried to soothe us. But we still need to cover our webcams turn off geotagging drill into settings to fight the data creeping and stay awake and alert to the ways that companies make us targets.  Take my advice for the holidays: Shop like no ones watching but never forget that someone might be listening.

Qualcomm has a new 4K HDR feature but which devices support it?  There was a moment of confusion after Qualcomm announced that the new Snapdragon 845 chipset would enable mobile cameras to record videos in 4K HDR. The promise of smartphone videos with more colors depth and greater dynamic range was tantalizing but the question on everyones minds was obvious: Which screens are capable of rendering such content? This would be useless if no one could see all the extra information being captured. But Qualcomm didnt have a clear answer for the audience.  To be fair the answer is somewhat complicated and has more to do with the way HDR video and displays are defined rather than the lack of capable screens.  While HDR photography has a clear-cut specification when it comes to video the term HDR serves as a sort of catch-all for various standards according to Qualcomms marketing manager for camera and computer vision PJ Jacobowitz. Its understandable that consumers are confused he told Engadget.  What people want is a standard that lets them know which devices will work with the content whether they be smartphones or giant TVs. Its like when you see a gadget with the Bluetooth logo on it  you know it will pair with other Bluetooth devices.  In the high-res HDR space though there are myriad competing standards. Theres HDR10 which is a common open specification along with Dolby Vision which is proprietary. Before I go into HDR10s requirements you need to understand what the Snapdragon 845 records. It uses the Rec 2020 color space which has 70 percent more colors than the typical Rec 709 profile (which is similar to the sRGB gamut). The 845 also captures 10-bit footage (deeper colors than the usual 8-bit quality) as well as luminance (thats the brightness of each hue) of up to 10000 nits.  For a device to display HDR10 content itll need to use the Rec 2020 color space and a bit-depth of 10 bits. But HDR10 doesnt consider resolution which is where other standards come in.  Youll see logos from the UHD Alliance certifying devices as compatible with Ultra HD Premium or Mobile HDR Premium which add resolution requirements to color profile criteria.  Devices certified as Ultra HD Premium compatible have to reproduce more than 90 percent of the P3 color space which has a wider gamut than Rec 709 but smaller than Rec 2020. Candidates will also need to support at least 10-bit color depth have a display resolution of at least 3840 x 2160 and brightness of between 540 and 1000 nits depending on their black levels.  Any device that bears either of the UHD Alliance logos will be able to display the 4K HDR content recorded on Snapdragon 845 devices. The caveat is that the Mobile HDR Premium standard which was released earlier this year for things like smartphones and tablets has a lower resolution requirement than bigger screens like TVs. So devices in this category may not render in 4K  theyll most likely do so at 2K resolution instead. Still youll see the increased colors on these panels.  If only it were as simple as looking for these two logos to determine if your phone tablet or TV can display 4K HDR. But it isnt. Not all companies with perfectly capable devices choose to get certified with the UHD Alliance for a variety of reasons like preference for a different standard or desire to protect proprietary technology. Plus most of the information youll need isnt usually listed on a specs sheet on the products webpage. For example the Apple TV and Sony Xperia XZ Premium can render 4K HDR but its not clear from publicly available specs whether either meets all the requirements.  In the absence of a logo one roundabout way you can check for compatibility is by seeing if your phone is on the Vimeo HDR list which shows (mostly Apple) devices that meet the video networks requirements. Vimeo has similar criteria to the UHD Alliance so it provides a good test.  Until the industry agrees on a single unified standard for high-res HDR video it will be difficult to keep track of the recording and display devices that are compatible with this new rich content. So while you may soon be able to record extremely colorful videos in future finding a canvas to show it off might be a frustrating task. That doesnt mean you should hold off on buying new TVs or displays altogether  you just have to scrutinize the specs to make sure what youre getting supports the latest standards.

Qualcomm has a new 4K HDR feature, but which devices support it?
Qualcomm has a new 4K HDR feature but which devices support it? There was a moment of confusion after Qualcomm announced that the new Snapdragon 845 chipset would enable mobile cameras to record videos in 4K HDR. The promise of smartphone videos with more colors depth and greater dynamic range was tantalizing but the question on everyones minds was obvious: Which screens are capable of rendering such content? This would be useless if no one could see all the extra information being captured. But Qualcomm didnt have a clear answer for the audience. To be fair the answer is somewhat complicated and has more to do with the way HDR video and displays are defined rather than the lack of capable screens. While HDR photography has a clear-cut specification when it comes to video the term HDR serves as a sort of catch-all for various standards according to Qualcomms marketing manager for camera and computer vision PJ Jacobowitz. Its understandable that consumers are confused he told Engadget. What people want is a standard that lets them know which devices will work with the content whether they be smartphones or giant TVs. Its like when you see a gadget with the Bluetooth logo on it you know it will pair with other Bluetooth devices. In the high-res HDR space though there are myriad competing standards. Theres HDR10 which is a common open specification along with Dolby Vision which is proprietary. Before I go into HDR10s requirements you need to understand what the Snapdragon 845 records. It uses the Rec 2020 color space which has 70 percent more colors than the typical Rec 709 profile (which is similar to the sRGB gamut). The 845 also captures 10-bit footage (deeper colors than the usual 8-bit quality) as well as luminance (thats the brightness of each hue) of up to 10000 nits. For a device to display HDR10 content itll need to use the Rec 2020 color space and a bit-depth of 10 bits. But HDR10 doesnt consider resolution which is where other standards come in. Youll see logos from the UHD Alliance certifying devices as compatible with Ultra HD Premium or Mobile HDR Premium which add resolution requirements to color profile criteria. Devices certified as Ultra HD Premium compatible have to reproduce more than 90 percent of the P3 color space which has a wider gamut than Rec 709 but smaller than Rec 2020. Candidates will also need to support at least 10-bit color depth have a display resolution of at least 3840 x 2160 and brightness of between 540 and 1000 nits depending on their black levels. Any device that bears either of the UHD Alliance logos will be able to display the 4K HDR content recorded on Snapdragon 845 devices. The caveat is that the Mobile HDR Premium standard which was released earlier this year for things like smartphones and tablets has a lower resolution requirement than bigger screens like TVs. So devices in this category may not render in 4K theyll most likely do so at 2K resolution instead. Still youll see the increased colors on these panels.

Google pauses crackdown on apps that use accessibility features  Almost a month ago Google cracked down on developers that used Androids accessibility features for apps that werent expressly created for people with disabilities.

Now however Google is pausing that final solution for another month to consider responsible and innovative uses of accessibility services.  Several developers complained about the strict policy enforcement which could affect apps like Last Pass (which uses accessibility features to help fill in form fields and passwords) Tasker (which uses the features to monitor launched apps) and Greenify (which shuts down apps when they use too much power).

Plex on Android now works more like a 'real' DVR  Plex recently turned your devices into virtual DVRs through its live TV update but there have been limitations: you couldnt timeshift to replay an important moment and watching a show while it recorded required a second TV tuner. Not much of a replacement for a real DVR is it? The situation just got much better however as Plex has updated its Android app with support for both timeshifting and as you might expect watching a live show while in mid-recording. If you missed a crucial play in the big game or just want to repeat what someone said you can skip back just like you would with a conventional DVR.  The feature is available right now on Android mobile devices and Android TV although youll need a Plex Pass subscription to use it. Amazon-made hardware is coming soon. And while its still slightly odd to pay for the privilege of controlling free TV look at it this way: its still considerably less expensive than a traditional TV subscription or buying a dedicated over-the-air DVR box.

Overwatchs Winter Wonderland event returns on December 12th  Overwatchs Winter Wonderland is on the way and its bringing with it some familiar gameplay as well as a new arcade mode. Last years Meis Snowball Offensive will be returning and of course there will be a selection of new skins  Blizzards Jeff Kaplan teased a lot of legendary skins but only confirmed Hanzo Junkrat and Roadhog skins.  The main attraction of this years holiday event is a mode called Meis Yeti Hunt wherein five Meis have to battle one yeti aka Winston. At first the person playing as the yeti has to try to collect enough powerups to trigger its Primal Rage mode while the five Meis try to bring him down. However once Primal Rage mode is achieved the yeti then goes after the Meis who have to avoid being killed. The Meis win if they can kill Winston but Winston wins if he can take down enough of the Meis.  I know a lot of you are thinking that this sounds kinda silly and kinda ridiculous Kaplan said in a video about the event which you can watch below. Well Im here to tell you it absolutely is. But the point of some of these seasonal brawls is just to be fun and light and refreshing for a short period of time.  Winter Wonderland arrives on PC Playstation 4 and Xbox One on December 12th.

The best touchscreen winter gloves  By Nick Guy  This post was done in partnership with Wirecutter reviews for the real world. When readers choose to buy Wirecutters independently chosen editorial picks it may earn affiliate commissions that support its work. Read the full article here.  Over the past five winters weve tested 47 pairs of touchscreen gloves while moving half ton of stumps climbing on ice and just walking and biking around town. For the third year in a row Moshis Digits are our favorite touchscreen gloves for most people offering the right combination of warmth dexterity and grip. They arent the absolute warmest touchscreen gloves you can buy but theyre warmer than anything thats better for using on touchscreens and better for using on touchscreens than anything thats warmer.  Who should buy these  Touchscreen gloves are for anyone who uses a smartphone tablet or smartwatch and lives (or regularly visits) somewhere that gets cold. At some point or another youll be out in the cold and need to respond to a text you just received or to use your device for some other reason and you wont want to strip down to do it. Touchscreen gloves are also handy for drivers of cars with touchscreen panels.  How we picked and tested  Over the past several years weve spent more than 30 hours researching hundreds of gloves. Weve conducted testing across cold winters in Oregon and in Buffalo New York. Some years weve tested during hikes and ski trips and other times weve used gloves while walking around downtown in the evenings and during daily dog walks. In 2015 we even tested gloves in a 42º F walk-in cooler at Resurgence Brewing Company in Buffalo New York. Weve also tested durability by running strips of Velcro across one glove from each pair to see if they snagged. To read in detail about our tests throughout the years check out our full guide to touchscreen gloves.  We also interviewed Matthew Meyer founder of TouchscreenGloveReviews.com who has followed the field since 2008 and has reviewed just about every glove available. He looks for three things in every touchscreen glove: grip 10-finger compatibility and ease of use (essentially fit and conductivity).  We looked for gloves that were either gender-neutral or had versions for men and women (though we made some exceptions if a glove really stood out). Fashion was a legitimate concern but we were more concerned about functionality. We also found that stretchier gloves made from knit and spandex were more pleasant to use with touchscreens though fleece is a better option if warmth is your top concern.  Every winter weve noticed that the stock for our touchscreen-gloves picks grows thinner as the weather gets colder. The following picks were available at the time of this writing but weve had to adjust our recommendations several times over the years due to stock issues.  Our pick  The grips on the palms of the Moshi Digits help to keep your phone from slipping. (The current version adds grippy dots to the palm.) Photo: Kevin Purdy  Moshis Digits are the touchscreen gloves we recommend for most people. First and foremost theyre very good knit winter gloves as they kept our hands pretty warm in even subfreezing weather. On top of that we found ourselves able to thumb-type with little issue; with autocorrect turned on we had zero typos in our typing tests. A rubberized palm helps to keep your phone from slipping out of your hand. For 2017 Moshi added a pattern of dots to the inside of the palm for an even better grip.  Above all else the snug fit throughout the hand and fingers (including at the tips) and a lack of seams on the fingertips gave the Digits the edge in accuracy and handling over competitors. We were very impressed with the responsiveness in our testing: Despite the gloves slightly bulky feel we found typing easy even with our thumbs.  A thinner pick for warmer climates  The Glider Gloves Urban Style Touchscreen Gloves were our original pick several years ago for the best touchscreen gloves and we still like them. Their conductivity is great and because theyre thin theyre also very accurate if you get a good fit (we recommend sizing down if your fingers are shorter than average).  The reason theyre no longer the top pick is that warmer designs with a comparable level of touch accuracy are available: The Urban Style gloves have a single-layer knit style so theyre less resistant to wind; they stop being warm enough somewhere in the high 30s. That said the Urban Style gloves are still a great buy if you live in a more-temperate area or dont venture out into the cold much.  Premium leather  Kent Wangs Deerskin gloves are a good pick if fashion is your primary focus. Photo: Kevin Purdy  If you insist on an all-leather glove chances are youre concerned enough with fashion that you know what you want already. We thought the Kent Wang Deerskin gloves were a good premium option for those who want the look and feel of all-leather while maintaining touchscreen compatibility.  The Deerskin gloves are made of calf leather and deerskin and are classically designedtheres no way to tell them apart from a pair of gloves that arent touchscreen compatible as they dont look techy. We found them to fit well with a little more give than other leather gloves that can be too constricting.  This guide may have been updated by Wirecutter.

Some years weve tested during hikes and ski trips and other times weve used gloves while walking around downtown in the evenings and during daily dog walks. In 2015 we even tested gloves in a 42º F walk-in cooler at Resurgence Brewing Company in Buffalo New York. Weve also tested durability by running strips of Velcro across one glove from each pair to see if they snagged. To read in detail about our tests throughout the years check out our full guide to touchscreen gloves. We also interviewed Matthew Meyer founder of TouchscreenGloveReviews.com who has followed the field since 2008 and has reviewed just about every glove available. He looks for three things in every touchscreen glove: grip 10-finger compatibility and ease of use (essentially fit and conductivity). We looked for gloves that were either gender-neutral or had versions for men and women (though we made some exceptions if a glove really stood out). Fashion was a legitimate concern but we were more concerned about functionality. We also found that stretchier gloves made from knit and spandex were more pleasant to use with touchscreens though fleece is a better option if warmth is your top concern. Every winter weve noticed that the stock for our touchscreen-gloves picks grows thinner as the weather gets colder. The following picks were available at the time of this writing but weve had to adjust our recommendations several times over the years due to stock issues. Our pick The grips on the palms of the Moshi Digits help to keep your phone from slipping. (The current version adds grippy dots to the palm.) Photo: Kevin Purdy Moshis Digits are the touchscreen gloves we recommend for most people. First and foremost theyre very good knit winter gloves as they kept our hands pretty warm in even subfreezing weather. On top of that we found ourselves able to thumb-type with little issue; with autocorrect turned on we had zero typos in our typing tests. A rubberized palm helps to keep your phone from slipping out of your hand. For 2017 Moshi added a pattern of dots to the inside of the palm for an even better grip. Above all else the snug fit throughout the hand and fingers (including at the tips) and a lack of seams on the fingertips gave the Digits the edge in accuracy and handling over competitors. We were very impressed with the responsiveness in our testing: Despite the gloves slightly bulky feel we found typing easy even with our thumbs. A thinner pick for warmer climates The Glider Gloves Urban Style Touchscreen Gloves were our original pick several years ago for the best touchscreen gloves and we still like them. Their conductivity is great and because theyre thin theyre also very accurate if you get a good fit (we recommend sizing down if your fingers are shorter than average). The reason theyre no longer the top pick is that warmer designs with a comparable level of touch accuracy are available: The Urban Style gloves have a single-layer knit style so theyre less resistant to wind; they stop being warm enough somewhere in the high 30s. That said the Urban Style gloves are still a great buy if you live in a more-temperate area or dont venture out into the cold much. Premium leather Kent Wangs Deerskin gloves are a good pick if fashion is your primary focus. Photo: Kevin Purdy If you insist on an all-leather glove chances are youre concerned enough with fashion that you know what you want already. We thought the Kent Wang Deerskin gloves were a good premium option for those who want the look and feel of all-leather while maintaining touchscreen compatibility. The Deerskin gloves are made of calf leather and deerskin and are classically designedtheres no way to tell them apart from a pair of gloves that arent touchscreen compatible as they dont look techy. We found them to fit well with a little more give than other leather gloves that can be too constricting. This guide may have been updated by Wirecutter.

Nobody knows if Snapchat shows are actually successful  Snapchat hasnt been coy about its obsession with making original video content. Snap Inc. its parent company sees TV-like programming as the holy grail and key to its long-term success. The quick raw disappearing videos that made Snapchat popular with teens are no longer enough to keep users locked in. Especially as Instagram has started stealing its most popular features like Stories. Snapchat wont admit it but Facebook may have inadvertently driven its push into original programming. Conquering that world wont be easy and right now there are more questions than answers about whether Snapchat shows are working and how viable they are.  Over the past few months Snapchat has lines up a slew of TV networks to create exclusive content for its Shows platform such as AE Networks Discovery ESPN NBCUniversal and Turner (owner of CNN TBS and TNT). According to The Wall Street Journal Snapchat is also in talks with CBS and Fox two of the biggest players in the TV industry. Its an ambitious effort and Snapchat appears confident that it has the perfect formula for viable mobile-first short-form video programming.  NBCUniversal which invested $500 million as part of Snaps IPO in May was one of the first networks to put the potential of Snapchat Shows on display. The company like many other traditional media outlets craves the young demographic that live on Snapchat. Last July NBCUniversal launched Stay Tuned a twice-daily news show created from the ground up with Snapchat users in mind. The show features two- to five-minute episodes shot in portrait mode the ideal format for watching on-the-go on a smartphone. Its complemented by bright colorful imagery and large text overlays that are displayed as the host discusses the news of the day.  So far NBCUniversals bet seems to be paying off with the network claiming that the show has garnered more than 29 million viewers since its debut. That number however needs to be taken with a grain of salt. Snapchat does not disclose valuable metrics like user watch time and series retention stats so its hard to know what exactly qualifies as a viewer. The company also doesnt disclose monthly active users which is considered a key metric in determining user growth.  A spokesperson for Snapchat did not provide specific viewership numbers but did say that Stay Tuned has over 2.5 million subscribers. Thats rather small when you consider that Snapchat has 173 million daily active users. Snapchat told Engadget that networks find its platform appealing because they can connect with audiences different than those who watch traditional TV. According to Snap more than 60 percent of the people who watch Stay Tuned are under 25 years old. And its no secret that millennials are a highly coveted demographic not just by media companies but fashion and tech brands as well.  Stay Tuned on Snapchat.  ESPN which is owned by Disney is another network that recently launched a show on Snapchat. Last month it announced a mobile-focused version of its flagship TV news program SportsCenter exclusively for Snapchat. It features many of the same traits seen on Stay Tuned: vertical scenes large text overlays and GIFs. Youll also notice young hosts with upbeat personalities and casual outfits. ESPN and NBCUniversal are betting that they have a better chance connecting with Snapchat users than say 40- or 50-year-old anchors in suits.  An ESPN representative declined to share viewer stats for SportsCenter on Snapchat citing Snaps reservation about releasing usage data to external parties. The spokesperson said that numbers for the show are very promising since it launched last month but noted that its early and theres not enough data to quantify accurate regular behavior.  We believe that mobile is fundamentally a new medium. Its not another screen to repurpose things its a place where you actually have to create especially for it.  Sean Mills Snapchats head of original content  Viewership numbers for Shows are vague at best and often non-existent. But that hasnt stopped Snap from launching 30 series with over 500 episodes in about a year. Its no easy feat to create that amount of content in such a short time and its a sign that networks including CNN E! Entertainment (owned by NBCUniversal) and ESPN have enough faith in the platform to invest significant resources.  That said its not as if the networks dont make cash. On Snapchats version of SportsCenter for example there are video advertisements for Dunkin Donuts Express and the NFL which a viewer can interact with by swiping up on a card if they want to shop or learn more about a product. Each show has ads like these and theres a revenue sharing agreement between them and Snap though its unclear just how much money these generate.  A January report from research firm Digital Content Next claimed that Snapchat holds little to no short-term financial interest for publishers. Mashable meanwhile reported that ad money for top partners has reached seven and eight figures annually. Back in September NBCUniversal CEO Steve Burke told The Information that The Rundown a pop culture show on Snapchat from E! Entertainment was making over a million [dollars] in revenue from the app.  Not surprisingly Snapchat isnt the only one trying to make social TV a hit. Facebook introduced its own video platform Watch in August where it streams anything from original shows created by independent artists to Major League Baseball games. Per video analytics firm Delmondo though Facebook Watch videos are only being viewed an average of 23 seconds at time  so the company needs to figure out a way to keep peoples attention longer than that.  To make matters worse unlike Snapchat Facebook doesnt allow ads on their shows which people such as Burke see that as a deal breaker. They have no respect for professionally produced content or at least theyre not showing they do he said to The Information. Just seems wrong to me and unsustainable.  Snapchat would like to keep the networks happy but it needs to focus on keeping viewers attention first and foremost. The key to that according to Snaps Head of Original Content Sean Mills is to make shows that are relatable and to treat them differently than traditional TV. We believe that mobile is fundamentally a new medium he said. Its not another screen to repurpose things its a place where you actually have to create especially for it. Mills pointed to ESPN reimagining SportsCenter which has been around since 1979 for the Snapchat generation as the perfect example of this.  Whether its working on new shows like Stay Tuned or existing franchises such as SportsCenter Mills said Snapchat doesnt only have one playbook that were just going to keep running. He added that he believes Snapchats current strategy is setting it up for a bright future. But that future could be clearer if the company was more transparent about how many people are actually watching its shows and if they keep coming back to them.  I think were onto something he said. The numbers in terms of the size of the audience the loyalty and engagement sort of backs that up. Of course what numbers Mills is referring to are a complete mystery. Youll have to take the companys word that its on the right path and we wont know for sure until these shows start getting cancelled. Or not.  - Repost from: engadget Post - New Upgrade !!

MIT is redesigning power converters to make the grid more efficient  Electrical efficiency affects a massive number of devices from the relatively tiny phones in our pockets all the way up to electric cars and the power grids keeping our houses running. Power converters are a particularly important part of the equation as theyre the devices that bring the high voltages coming through power lines down to more manageable levels for household outlets. MIT along with semiconductor company IQE Columbia University IBM and the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology have announced some breakthroughs on making that part of the equation more efficient.  Specifically the report outlines how power converters made of gallium nitride semiconductors are both more efficient and smaller  but thus far theyve only been able handle power in the range of 600 volts. Thats enough for household products but not for larger or more complex devices. But MITs research has led to a breakthrough in which gallium nitride converters have been able to handle twice the voltage  up to 1200 volts. Thats enough to use in an electric car but this is only a beginning point for the technology.  Ultimately MIT and its partners believe that improvements will let these converters handle 3300 and 5000 volts enough to build them into the power grid itself. The challenge has been building vertical converters out of gallium nitride a design thats more efficient than the lateral alternative but also harder to produce. But a new design has helped make these voltage increases more plausible: Instead of doing the complicated zigzag path for the current in conventional vertical transistors lets change the geometry of the transistor completely said MIT professor Tomás Palacios. Theres no word on when these types of designs might make it into electric cars or power grids but the potential of reducing energy waste makes this project one worth keeping an eye on.

Marvel comics arrive in Hoopla's public library app  Comic books are a brilliant medium but keeping up with the latest releases can be expensive. If you live in the US its worth checking out Hoopla; the service is supported by more than 1500 public libraries and offers free digital access to DC Image and IDW titles. And starting today another major publisher is joining the platform: Marvel. More than 250 collections and graphic novels will be available including Black Panther: A Nation Under Our Feet book one  by author journalist and comic book writer Ta-Nehisi Paul Coates  Civil War and X-Men: The Dark Pheonix Saga.  Theres a handy map here that shows all of the Hoopla-supported libraries in the US. As Variety explains the libraries set their own lending limits so you might be able to check out five or 10 at a time through the app. You wont of course get every new Marvel release but its a good place to start if youre unsure which characters or series to follow. Hoopla says there should be plenty of familiar faces from the Marvel Cinematic Universe including Spider-Man Daredevil The Runaways The Avengers and the Guardians of the Galaxy.

يوتيوب تعتزم إطلاق خدمة موسيقية مدفوعة جديدة  تملك يوتيوب بالفعل حاليا تطبيق للبث الموسيقي وخدمة يوتيوب ريد المدفوعة لكنها لم تتمكن من تقديم خدمة بث موسيقي ملائمة للجمهور لتنافس سبوتيفاي مباشرة وهذا ما تخطط لفعله في الربع الأول من العام القادم.  بحسب المصادر فإن يوتيوب تخطط لإطلاق خدمة موسيقية جديدة تعرف حاليا داخل الشركة بإسم Remix في مارس المقبل وتجري حاليا مفاوضاتها مع شركات الإنتاج الفني Universal Music Group وسوني تحالف المغنين المستقلين Merlin كما ضمنت توقيع إتفاقية مع Warner Music Group إحدى أكبر الشركات للحصول على ترخيص إنتاجها من الألبومات الغنائية.  وكانت مؤسسة Goldman Sachs قد أصدرت تقريرا يتوقع بلوغ حجم سوق خدمات البث الموسيقي إلى 28 مليار دولار عام 2030 وبالطبع قوقل تريد أن يكون لديها حصة مسيطرة منها لاسيما مع المنافسة المتنامية من آبل وخدمتها الموسيقية.  ولن تكتفي خدمة يوتيوب الجديدة بتشغيل الأغاني حسب الطلب بل أيضا ستوفر مقاطع فيديو غنائية للألبومات من يوتيوب نفسها.  يبدو أن مجال خدمات البث الموسيقي أيضا أثبتت أن قوقل لا مكان لها فيه حتى الآن بالرغم من إطلاق خدمة Google Play Music قبل ستة أعوام ولم تحقق النجاح العالمي المطلوب.  المصدر  Lets block ads!

أمازون توسع خدمتها الموسيقية إلى 28 دولة إضافية  بعد مرور أكثر من عام على إطلاقها أعلنت أمازون توسيع نطاق خدمتها الموسيقية غير المحدودة لتشمل عشرات الدول الإضافية خارج الولايات المتحدة وليس من بينها أية دولة عربية.  تحاول أمازون من خدمتها Amazon Music Unlimited منافسة سبوتيفاي كما هو حال البقية مثل آبل وقوقل وتوفر أمازون خدمتها برسوم اشتراك أرخص من البقية تبدأ من 4 دولار شهريا وحتى 10 دولار شهريا حسب الجهاز المستخدم للوصول للخدمة التي تحوي 40 مليون أغنية.  وبهذا تكون خدمة أمازون الموسيقية متاحة في 30 بلد حول العالم أغلبها أوروبية وفي أمريكا اللاتينية. ولعل المستفيد الأكبر من خدمة أمازون الموسيقية هم من لديهم المساعد الصوتي المنزلي إيكو.  مازال الطريق طويلا أمام أمازون لتضع خدمتها في موقع تنافسي قوي مقارنة مع آبل التي سرعان ما قطعت شوط طويل في زمن قياسي لكن تبقى سبوتيفاي في القيادة بأكبر عدد من المستخدمين النشطين بالرغم من سعرها المرتفع مقارنة مع خدمة أمازون.  المصدر  Lets block ads!

تقرير: آبل قد تزود هواتف آيفون للعام المقبل ببطاريات أكبر حجما  تخطط شركة آبل لتزويد هواتف آيفون التي تنوي إطلاقها في العام المقبل والتي تستعمل شاشات عرض من نوعية OLED ببطاريات مصممة حديثا على شكل حرف L أكبر حجما من الحالية وتأتي هذه المعلومات وفقا لما ذكره مينغ تشي كو المحلل الرئيسي لدى شركة كي جي آي سيكيوريتي KGI Securities في أحدث تقاريره للمستثمرين.  وتعتبر البطاريات من أصعب المكونات تصنيعا بسبب تركيبها الكيميائي وهو الأمر الذي يدفع معظم الشركات المصنعة إلى التمسك بالشكل المستطيل التقليدي وقد أدت التطورات الحاصلة في مجال الأجهزة المحمولة من حيث تقليل السماكة وإضافة مكونات داخلية معقدة بشكل متزايد إلى قيام الشركات بالبحث عن سبل لتحسين المساحة الداخلية الفارغة عن طريق تغيير وتبديل شكل البطاريات.  وقد جربت شركة آبل بطاريات على شكل حرف L المتواجدة في الوقت الحالي ضمن هاتفها الرائد iPhone X ومن خلال عملية التصنيع هذه يتم تركيب بطاريتي ليثيوم منفصلتين مع بعضهم البعض لتشكيل ما يشبه حرف L باللغة الإنكليزية وذلك للاستفادة من كل المساحة الداخلية الفارغة المتاحة.  وأوضح المحلل مينغ تشي كو مؤخرا بأن شركة آبل قد تعمد في العام المقبل إلى إصدار ثلاثة هواتف آيفون جديدة أحد تلك الهواتف يمتلك شاشة عرض بقياس 5.8 إنش ويعتبر خلفا لهاتفها الرائد الحالي iPhone X وهاتف ثاني بشاشة عرض أكبر يحمل اسم iPhone X Plus بشاشة عرض من قياس 6.5 إنش وتتضمن هذه الهواتف شاشات من نوع OLED مع نسخة محسنة من البطاريات المستخدمة حاليا في هاتفiPhone X.  كما تشير توقعات المحلل إلى إمكانية وجود هاتف ثالث بميزانية أقل مشابه لهاتف iPhone X من حيث تصميم شاشة العرض وامتلاكه لتقنية كاميرا TrueDepth مع وجود النتوء الحالي الموجود في الجزء العلوي لشاشة عرض هاتف iPhone X لكنه سيكون أقل تكلفة من النماذج السابقة تبعا لامتلاكه لشاشة عرض من نوعية الكريستال السائل LCD بقياس 6.1 إنش وبطارية تقليدية مستطيلة الشكل.  ويتوقع أن يحصل خليفة هاتف iPhone X على بطارية بسعة أكبر بين 2900 و3000 ميلي أمبير بالمقارنة مع السعة التوفرة حاليا 2716 ميلي أمبير بينما قد تحصل النسخة الأكبر من الهاتف على بطارية بسعة بين 3300 و3400 ميلي أمبير في حينقد يحصل الهاتف الثالث الأقل تكلفة على بطارية بسعة بين 2850 و2950 ميلي أمبير.

Researchers find another smart toy that's easy to hack  A team of security researchers that has warned of the dangers of smart toys has found another that can be used to spy on your children. Pen Test Partners examined the Teksta Toucan finding that its easy to hack the devices microphone and speaker. According to The Register the device is built by Genesis Industries makers of the iQue and My Friend Cayla two devices that are already feeling the heat from regulators. Both are currently being looked at in the US and Europe while the latter has been withdrawn from sale in Germany.  The Toucan had two ways of being accessed the first of which was simply by connecting to the devices built-in Bluetooth speaker. Crucially however the microphone was also accessible so sufficiently local and motivated attackers could snoop on what you or your kids were saying. The second method required breaching the devices OS and replacing its library of MP3 files for something less suitable. To demonstrate the hack Pen Test filmed the Toucan turning the air blue which you can see in this NSFW clip below.  Parents are advised to steer clear of all three devices and return them if theyve snagged them as a gift for the holidays. Pen Test is also sharing its findings with regulators in the hope of ensuring that the device is banned.  Via: The Register  Source: Pen Test Partners  - Repost from: engadget Post - New Upgrade !!

NVIDIA's 'most powerful GPU' ever is built for AI  NVIDIAs newest Titan GPU is now available for purchase and the company says its the worlds most powerful GPU for the PC yet. The GPU-maker has launched the Volta-powered Titan V at the annual Neural Information Processing Systems conference. Volta is NVIDIAs latest microarchitecture designed to double the energy efficiency of its predecessor and Titan V can apparently deliver 110 teraflops of raw horsepower or around 9 times what the previous Titan is capable of. This powerful new GPUs target? Scientists and researchers working on AI deep learning and high performance computing.  Since Volta was designed to work on a mixture of computation and calculations and has features created specifically for deep learning scientists can use the GPU to build their own desktop PCs if they dont need special servers. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang said during the event:  Our vision for Volta was to push the outer limits of high performance computing and AI. We broke new ground with its new processor architecture instructions numerical formats memory architecture and processor links. With TITAN V we are putting Volta into the hands of researchers and scientists all over the world. I cant wait to see their breakthrough discoveries.  Those scientists and researchers probably need the backing of their educational institutions and donors to build computers with Titan V though. The GPU which is now available from NVIDIAs website and retailers will set them back $2999.  Source: NVIDIA  - Repost from: engadget Post - New Upgrade !!
