The feature on Cameo–which enables people to pay for custom videos recorded by celebrities–enables people to pay a higher price and skip the queue in order…Read More
Password managers are important. You don’t want to remember all your credentials or write them down in a notebook — your sibling might steal them. That’s why (or maybe some other reason) Dropbox is making its password manager feature available to everyone starting in April. The cloud storage service launched this feature last year for its paying customers. With this new announcement, anyone with a Dropbox account could use it. However, there are few caveats to this service: you can only store 50 passwords and sync up to three devices to access your credentials from anywhere. In terms of security, the app…

The HomePod is dead. Well, kinda. Apple has discontinued its original smart speaker, and is now pouring its attention solely on HomePod Mini. This isn’t a big surprise, the original HomePod never truly captured the public’s imagination after all. But… I believe there’s hope for the premium side of the range; if the company releases a HomePod with a screen. We’ll get to that in a hot minute. First though, let’s talk about… Why the HomePod failed Contrary to some people’s views that the HomePod was “misunderstood,” it simply wasn’t an engaging or well thought out product.

Engineers at Canada’s University of Waterloo are developing AI-powered exoskeleton legs that can walk autonomously. The system captures a user’s surroundings through a camera. Computer vision and deep learning algorithms then analyze the scene to determine the best movements for the upcoming terrain. “Our control approach wouldn’t necessarily require human thought,” said project lead Brokoslaw Laschowski in a press release. “Similar to autonomous cars that drive themselves, we’re designing autonomous exoskeletons that walk for themselves.” The devices could give people with impaired mobility a more natural control system than current exoskeletons, which are typically operated through smartphone apps or joysticks. “That can be inconvenient and…

I don’t even know where to start with this one. So I’m just going to take it step by step. Earlier today, Nissan, that Japanese car company that usually has its head screwed on pretty well, posted a tweet. And it’s the most insane tweet I’ve ever read, and I follow Elon Musk. The tweet outlined Nissan’s ePower technology, which it says is a 100% electric-motor driven system. Except, it’s not, because it has a gasoline engine. It’s 100% electric-motor driven in the sense that only the electric motor is connected to the wheels, but the battery that powers it…

We have seen apps and features that let you play songs based on your mood. But often, mood-based songs played through these apps and what you’re actually feeling, don’t match. That makes me wish for a device that could read my brain and play music. Well, brain-reading company Neurosity has released a new device that matches that description.

The Crown ships with the Neurosity music shift app that works with your Spotify premium account to track your brain activity while you listen…
