The whole Whole Foods thing doesn’t seem to have worked out so swimmingly. The whole keeping-your-employees-happy thing doesn’t appear to have done so well either. I was inwardly digesting all this when news reached me of a truly startling development, one that makes me wonder if the world is spinning in a new direction. For here, in a new ad, are real human beings becoming so absorbed in their books that the worlds within those books come to life before their very eyes....

Not only in terms of performance but also under the fire of environmentalist rules, car manufacturers are starting to introduce more and more hybrid or even pure electric cars. Tesla, led by former PayPal CEO Elon Musk, was the driving force behind 100% electric cars. When adapting this option comes a big problem, the duration, and durability of the batteries. About a year ago, a battery researcher at Dalhousie University, Canada, and pioneer in the development of the lithium-ion battery, Jeff Dahn, created a new partnership with Tesla, which consisted of increasing battery life....

The CEO of the company Kaspersky, Eugene said that “I’m hoping it’s obvious by now how protecting the IoT and, of course, critical infrastructure (industry, transport, telecoms, etc.) from IT threats is simply mandatory,”. Hence, the security firm Kaspersky launched a Layer of 3 switch designed especially for networks with extreme security requirements to protect your data. It will be the first device to run Kaspersky OS, a system whose technology is designed to be adapted to the Internet of things (IoT)....

Some of these tools below also go beyond the scope of just limiting the time spent on browsing, or forbidding the installation of certain applications, and can actually go all the way to cutting internet access itself for the mobile device after a certain amount of time and more. Also, you will find a certain group of apps that can track the location of your kid, but we have consciously tried to stay away from those that record phone conversations or text messages....

Samsung is going to hold an event in three weeks in London, and I thought they would announce the Galaxy S4 mini there, but I’ve just been proven wrong. Samsung just announced the device right now on their corporate blog. All the leaks that have been cropping up over the internet these past few weeks appear to be correct: 4.3 inch qHD display, dual core 1.7 GHz processor (hasn’t been confirmed yet it’s a Snapdragon 400), 1....

Less than 24 hours later after the first pictures of the Galaxy S5 Zoom leaked, the full specs and benchmark scores of the handset has been revealed, all thanks to the resourceful folks over at SamMobile. The S5 Zoom will sport a 4.8-inch 720p Super AMOLED display and will be powered by a Hexa-core Exynos processor sporting two Cortex-A15 cores clocked at 1.7GHz and 4 Cortex-A7 cores clocked at 1....

Last week, a couple of Google representatives revealed that Android Wear users should expect an OTA update for their watch that will bring some navigation and alarm improvements. Now, it looks like the company has started pushing out the Android 4.4W.1 update carrying the build number KGW42N to the Gear Live and the Moto 360. The biggest change the update brings is to navigation. If you have the latest version of Google Maps installed on your phone, your Android Wear watch will now show your primary and/or fastest as well as an alternate destination....

If you happen to dislike a manufacturer’s branding being all over your phone, and if you happen to live in Japan, the Galaxy Note 7 may be something to consider. As discovered by SamMobile from Samsung Japan’s website, the Galaxy Note 7 doesn’t appear to feature any type of branding on the device at all. There’s no Samsung logo on the front, and there’s no “Galaxy Note7” or Samsung logo on the back of the handset, either....

According to two tweets from @evleaks, the Captain of Leaks himself, it appears that the Galaxy S4 mini will be launched on AT&T and Sprint in the coming weeks and months. AT&T will get a pink variant, while Sprint will get the more conservative black and white color options. Why is AT&T stocking up on pink? The folks over at Android Police have a good theory, they say it’s because October is breast cancer awareness month....

The Galaxy S5 is packed to the brim with features but it lacks a seemingly minor but useful feature — wireless charging. Samsung has never included inbuilt wireless charging on its devices, probability because of its limited usefulness, and the S5 is no different. However, like it did with the Note 3 and S4, the Korean giant has released not one, but two accessories that brings Qi wireless charging feature to its latest flagship....

Eight agreements covering the 14 projects were announced Friday, marking the start of the third year of their bilateral smart city agreement. The number of new projects also doubles that of the previous year and will further drive both countries’ collaboration in digital transformation and “policy innovation”, according to Singapore’s Ministry of Communications and Information and industry regulator, Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA). in addition, there will be new opportunities for local businesses and population in research, trade, sustainability, and skills development....

The best part is that in order to use the services you don’t need to install a separate app. As a matter of fact, users are not even required to sign in before using Snapdrop. The tool does what it claims to do, seamlessly transfer the data across two devices on the same network without any limitations on the amount of data that can be transferred. To enable discovery, the webpage should be open in both the devices on the same network, thankfully the sharing works across different browsers and devices....

When the Pixel 2 XL was first launched, it was heavily criticised for its sub-par OLED display which suffered from a significant blue shift when viewed at less than perfect angle. There were other issues with the display as well like image retention but it was the blue shift that bothered users the most as Google managed to solve most of the issues to a certain extent with software updates....

Samsung today released key details about its Flexible OLED display that it is using on the Galaxy S6 edge. The company states that it is witnessing “enormous interest” in its leading-edge Flexible AMOLED displays — even more than it had anticipated. This has even led the company to work additional hours to increase the production levels to meet the “extremely high demand.” As explained by Samsung, its curved AMOLED display uses a polyimide (PI) substrate — an advanced type of plastic — instead of hard glass that has been traditionally used in AMOLED panels....

Back at MWC, Samsung launched not one, but two Tizen powered smartwatches — the Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo. A month later, Google unveiled Android Wear, its own OS meant for smartwatches and other wearables. While LG and Motorola also unveiled their own Android wear powered smartwatch on the same day, Samsung was surprisingly missing, suggesting that the company might stick to Tizen for its wearables. Now, in an email to The Verge, Samsung has confirmed that it plans on releasing a smartwatch running Android Wear “later this year”....

A device getting torn down before it finds its way to the masses isn’t all that new, but when it’s something like the Galaxy S6, it’s certainly worth mentioning. The crew over at MyFixGuide have put together a comprehensive teardown of Samsung’s Galaxy S6, and have revealed all of its internal components along the way. The site notes that Samsung’s alterations to the design, with its glass and metal, are certainly worthwhile and make the device stand out, it adds to the complexity of preparing the device if the need were to arise....

Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) said Tuesday it would continue to boost research and development (R&D) efforts as well as pilots in maritime technologies. It also would look to develop maritime cybersecurity capabilities, so the industry had the resilience and infrastructure to manage disruptions. Specifically, it introduced a report that aimed to provide a roadmap to help organisations trial new practices in additive manufacturing. The new report outlined maritime additive manufacturing capabilities in Singapore as well as learning points from previous trials and adoption processes....
