App maker claims ‘Sign in with Apple’ copies anonymous email feature
[ad_1] Blix has previously accused Apple of unfairly suppressing Blue Mail. It claimed that Apple’s acknowledged problems with App Store rankings pushed Blue Mail down to 143rd in search results (it’s since back to 13th). It also disputed Apple’s statement that it removed Blue Mail from the Mac App Store for supposedly copying another program, […]

‘Red Dead Redemption 2’ will be a Google Stadia launch title
[ad_1] It’s a significant step for Rockstar — it’s a brand new PC version of a marquee title available through a streaming service. It’s also likely the closest you’ll get to having a mobile version of Rockstar’s modern games, at least for a while. RDR2 simply demands too much processing power and storage from current […]
The best laptop stands
[ad_1] Who should get this Photo: Sarah Kobos When you’re using a computer, the top of the screen should be just above eye level, and your keyboard should be just below elbow level.

Moreover, it’s best to think of a specific patent application as one of the many directions a company can take a particular technology. With […]

[ad_1] During my very brief hands on time with the Neo and Duo, they both felt like premium devices. Opening and closing them, in particular, was very natural. The screens moved smoothly, but there was also a satisfying amount of resistance, especially when I twisted them into a laptop-like mode. Don’t forget that Microsoft has […]
Adobe adds new AI tools in Photoshop and Premiere Elements 2020
[ad_1] The full-featured versions of Photoshop and Premiere can be overwhelming, and the methods to reach a desired outcome are rarely obvious. In other words, you really have to know what you’re doing. The Elements versions of the software offer straightforward workflows that avoid obscure menus and hotkeys, as well as a one-time purchase rather […]
Intel wants to use AI to reconnect damaged spinal nerves
[ad_1] The initial interface will use external computing hardware to interpret spine signals. In the long term, the collaborators would like a wholly implanted system to make the connection. This is something of a moonshot, and there’s no guarantee the project will end with a surefire solution for paralysis. It should still be useful even […]
Accudio’s earbuds use an ‘inner mic’ to put phone calls first
[ad_1] Accudio is not quite available for the public yet — it’ll be on Indiegogo starting next month — but Orfeo did show off a demo of it at this week’s TechCrunch Disrupt event. Design-wise, they remind me a little of Amazon’s Echo Buds, except these come in both black and white. They come with […]
