  4. Though phone-based AR is the big news lately with the release of iOS 11 yesterday, Mira is still hoping to ensure that the iPhone opens up a world of hands-free headset AR to consumers as well. Today, Mira is rolling out their SDK to devs and announcing some new funding from some top names. Though the company’s Prism headset isn’t all that complex — it doesn’t include… Read More View the full article

  7. With self-awareness in such short supply in Hollywood, isn't it nice to know that some studios are willing to just finally 'fess up and own it when something goes haywire? Darren Aronofsky's mother! clearly isn't for everybody — maybe even for nobody, as its rare 'F' Cinemascore would indicate, though critics kinda dug it — and at first, Paramount Pictures (and Aronofsky himself) went immediately on the defensive. SEE ALSO: There's a secret way to predict a movie's Rotten Tomatoes score But somewhere along the way, someone at Paramount realized that this see-it-for-yourself challenge could be a selling point. The studio on Tuesday released this new promo video that leans hard into the idea that you're probably going to hate it, but hey, maybe you're one of the few who doesn't. Read more...

  8. The rumors that Google is looking to buy part of stumbling Taiwanese smartphone maker HTC might be confirmed or denied very soon. On Wednesday, the Taiwanese Stock Exchange (TWSE) said it will halt trading in HTC shares, starting Sept. 2017, pending an important announcement. This does not necessarily confirm an acquisition by Google or anyone else—the trading of company stock can be halted for a number of reasons. SEE ALSO: HTC cuts the price of its Vive VR headset to $599 But given the dire state HTC is in, something needs to happen, and an acquisition is the most likely scenario.

  9. (Note: This story will be updated throughout the day as the storm moves across Puerto Rico.) Hurricane Maria, one of the 10 most intense storms on record in the Atlantic Ocean basin, roared ashore in southeastern Puerto Rico, near Yabucoa, at 6:15 a.m. ET. It hit the island as a powerful Category 4 storm, with maximum sustained winds of 155 miles per hour, down somewhat from its peak of 175 miles per hour on Tuesday night. This is the most intense storm to make landfall in Puerto Rico since at least the San Ciprian Hurricane of 1932, which was also a Category 4. The storm is likely to inflict its greatest damage to the communities along its southeastern shore, including Yabucoa, where inundation of 6 to 9 feet above normally dry ground is likely from the combination of storm surge flooding and high, battering waves.

  10. You’ve probably never heard of Lovoo but in German-speaking countries (Germany, Switzerland, and Austria) it’s the number one dating in terms of app store downloads. It’s also in the top 3 in Southern Europe (such as Italy, Spain, France). It’s now being sept off its feet (ok, acquired) by The Meet Group, which owns other dating properties. The price is a romantic… Read More View the full article
  11. "Most of the best people are dead." That kind of goes for most of the worst people too, seeing as most of whoever's existed has died, but it's still catchy. It's also typical John Cleese. SEE ALSO: Girl casually finds 'Excalibur' at the bottom of the same lake where it was hurled Cleese went on Fallon last night and talked about old age and impending death. Surprise surprise, he does so using surreal humour. The seventy-seven year old (he has trouble remembering that at first) is going on tour in the US with screenings of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Possibly more affronting than the f-bombs Cleese casually lobs into the conversation is the fact he says he doesn't like the film. He must be lying, right? Read more...

  13. Is Apple still working, as once rumored, on integrating a fingerprint scanner into the screens of its phones, or does the company plan to put Face ID in all future iPhones? According to a report from usually accurate analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, via 9to5Mac, Apple hasn't really decided yet. SEE ALSO: We got our hands on the iPhone 8 - here's everything you need to know If the user response to iPhoneX's Face ID is positive, the report claims, Apple will likely add the technology to all 2018 models. If it "fails to impress consumers," the company will probably resume its efforts to embed Touch ID into iPhone screens. Read more...

  14. Like a train gaining speed as it leaves the station, the Cloud Native Computing Foundation is quickly gathering momentum, attracting some of the biggest names in tech. In the last month and a half alone AWS, Oracle, Microsoft, VMware and Pivotal have all joined. It’s not every day you see this group of companies agree on anything, but as Kubernetes has developed into an essential… Read More View the full article
  15. Serious gamers on holiday shouldn't need to suffer. A hotel in Taiwan is offering more than just a bed and TV in its rooms. SEE ALSO: New luxury internet cafes in China are ensuring gamers won't ever want to leave Rooms at the i hotel come equipped with two computers, complete with DXRacer gaming chairs that look pretty plush. The computers aren't shabby either, and are decked out fully by ASUS, with 32" screens. When you're done, you can watch your favourite esports channel on a 46" inch TV screen in the room. But if that's not enough, hotel's main lobby area also features a larger gaming arena — perfect if you're with a group of friends. Read more...

  16. The sheen has worn off of wearables. The pack has begun to thin, and even industry leaders like Fitbit felt the pinch. There are a few exceptions, of course. At the low end, companies like Xiaomi have quickly become market-share leaders, courtesy of $15 fitness bands. And then, of course, there’s Apple. Read More View the full article
  17. Let’s talk about the red dot. The hint of bright color on the Apple Watch Series 3 digital crown serves no function. It’s just a bold reminder that this wearable doesn’t need your iPhone to do its job, thank you very much. SEE ALSO: The iPhone 8 is excellent, but not for everyone Apple describes the blood-red dot as a sort of aesthetic accent that announces to the world that this Apple Watch has its own LTE radio. With that and the built-in GPS, the Apple Watch Series 3 is self-sufficient, letting you go for a run and leave your phone behind without worrying about not being able to make and receive calls, get and send texts, and get turn-by-turn navigation guidance.

  18. It's been a solid 33 years since Linda Hamilton first blasted her way onto our screens as the supremely badass Sarah Connor. She was in the original Terminator movie, and then in the 1991 sequel, but by the time of Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines her character was no more. Arnie was still going strong, but there was no sign of Sarah Connor. SEE ALSO: Terminator speaker uses Amazon Alexa to let you talk to your future robot masters Well, good news, Linda Hamilton fans — according to a recent statement from James Cameron, she's making a comeback. "As meaningful as she was to gender and action stars everywhere back then, it’s going to make a huge statement to have that seasoned warrior that she’s become return," said Cameron at a private event on Tuesday night, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

  19. In the world of Honest Trailers, nobody is safe. Not even Wonder Woman. In the above video, Screen Junkies pick apart the most amusing moments from DC's super-successful summer blockbuster — everything from Gal Gadot's accent to Chris Pine's rampant march up the leaderboard of "bankable Hollywood Chris'". SEE ALSO: 'Fantastic Beasts' gets the Honest Trailers skewering that (let's be real) it totally deserves "Is it an inspirational, well-made film that finally gives women a superhero to be proud of?" asks Jon Bailey's epic voiceover at the trailer's conclusion. "Yes." "Does it end with a lightning-hands moustache man yelling video game level dialogue? Also yes." Read more...

  21. Hillary Clinton is a hard act to follow, but Emma Stone managed it with panache. SEE ALSO: 'Battle of the Sexes' is a reminder of how far we've come – and how far we haven't Stone came on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert last night to promote her upcoming movie Battle of the Sexes, the story of the 1973 tennis match between Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs. Stone talks about hanging out with King, having previously known nothing about tennis. Then her and Colbert talk about anxiety, something which Stone has been dealing with from a young age. Both guest and host talk about the paradoxical nature of being a performer with anxiety — namely that even though it is intensely stressful, performing has been helpful to both of them. Read more...

  22. Matternet, a startup building autonomous drones for delivery, has been working to commercialize its tech via transportation of blood and pathology samples to labs.

This drive led to the development of the… Read More View the full article
  23. In a screen career that began in 2002, Academy Award winner Alicia Vikander (The Danish Girl) has already appeared in a wide variety of roles, including supporting performances in the action movies The Man From U.N.C.L.E. and Jason Bourne. Her role in the upcoming Tomb Raider, however, will likely see her reach a much higher level of worldwide stardom. Based on the popular video game series, the first trailer for the big-screen adaptation has now been released. In it, she shows her action chops as a young bike courier who finally decides to investigate the disapperance of her father some years before. Watch the first trailer below. Directed by: Roar Uthaug.

  25. Squiggle brows and penis-shaped eyeliner might not be your kinda scene when it comes to daring makeup looks. But, this, err, bold makeup look by Vancouver-based makeup artist Mim Choi is one that'll turn heads wherever you go. SEE ALSO: The new eyebrow trend you hope will die quickly Choi's terrifying makeup look takes its inspiration from the work of surrealist artist Salvador Dali. What's a face? ?? • This is #makeup • A FACELESS makeup illusion inspired by #SalvadorDali's Bronze Sculpture - Surrealist Newton. If you look closely, you will see my features disguised in the black and red paints. This is not photoshopped - I will post a video after.
