Samsung Gear S3 Classic and Frontier -- big watches with big changes
If you think bigger means better when it comes to your tech, then you are going to love the new Samsung smartwatches. Samsung announced two new smartwatches at IFA this year: the Samsung Gear S3 Classic and Frontier. While the two devices are mostly the same, they do sport some important differences, between each other and their predecessor, the Gear S2. In IT Blogwatch, we channel our inner Dick Tracy. So what are the important specs? Ron Amadeo has the details: Samsung i..>> view originalHP's Elite Slice mini-PC stacks up features with snap-on modules
Building a tricked-out PC from scratch can be a satisfying experience. But it's not for everyone, which is why we have modular desktops like HP's new Elite Slice. The Elite Slice is a mini-PC that lets users add features just by snapping external modules onto the main box. No more unscrewing the chassis just to add a component. The modules stack up underneath the base unit. A proprietary connector based on the USB 3.1 protocol binds the PC with the modules. Snapping modules onto the Eli..>> view originalHuawei's Nova phones strip down to their aluminum unibody essentials
Huawei’s rapid ascent to prominence in the smartphone market is taking another step forward today with the introduction of a new series of handsets called Nova. These devices eschew premium features and extras in favor of distilling Huawei’s strengths down into an affordable, mid-range package. First up is the eponymous Nova, a 5-inch device with a Full HD screen, Snapdragon 625 processor, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, and a 12-megapixel camera with larger-than-average pixels. It’s encased in an..>> view originalWhat to expect from Apple's 'See You' iPhone event
The next iPhone: Apple giveth, and Apple taketh awayRendering of the rumored "iPhone 7 Plus" by Martin Hajek.Historically, Apple has introduced a major redesign of the iPhone every two years, with a milder "S" update in between. However, this year is something special: The Wall Street Journal and other sources expect the next iPhones (unofficially known as the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus) to play it safe. While there will reportedly be more substantial outward changes than you saw in the iPhone 6s, the..>> view originalThe Lenovo Yoga 910 is a powerhouse laptop posing as a 2-in-1
Though it remains unclear if the 2-in-1 will catch on with the mainstream, the devices have become something of a halo product (not to be confused with the Halo keyboard Lenovo just announced). I say that because building one – or more specifically, a good one – is proof of a company’s engineering clout. But it’s not easy. Ideally, a 2-in-1 should be a great laptop and a great tablet. In reality, that’s not yet possible. So designers must choose, and most seem to give preference to portability...>> view original3.7-billion-year-old fossils may be the oldest signs of life on Earth
Australian researchers Allen Nutman and Vickie Bennett hold a 3.7-billion-year-old fossilized stromatolite from Isua, Greenland. (Yuri Amelin) Scientists probing a newly exposed, formerly snow-covered outcropping in Greenland claim they have discovered the oldest fossils ever seen, the remnants of microbial mats that lived 3.7 billion years ago. It's a stunning announcement in a scientific field that is always contentious. But if confirmed, this would push the established fossil record more ..>> view originalThe Dropbox data breach is a warning to update passwords
Recent data breaches underline the need for Internet users to regularly update the passwords for all their Internet accounts. On Wednesday, Spotify reset the passwords of an unspecified number of users, just a day after data on 68 million accounts from Dropbox began reaching the Internet. In a notice to users, Spotify said their credentials may have been compromised in a leak involving another service, if they used the same password for both. “Spotify has not experienced a security breach and ..>> view originalWatch a “ring of fire” solar eclipse as it darkens Africa's skies
An “annular” eclipse is darkening the skies above much of Africa today (Sept. 1) as the moon passes between the earth and the sun. Unlike in a total eclipse, during an annular eclipse the moon does not completely blot out the sun but is instead framed by reddish sunlight around its edges. For this reason, it is better known as a “ring of fire” eclipse. The eclipse is tracing a 100-mile path across central Africa, from Gabon in the west to Tanzania in the east, Mozambique in the south, and also..>> view original
