No, it’s not the only glowing cube PC you can buy.  But it might be the only one that will attempt to absorb your humanity into its cybernetic collective mind. This is the Borg Cube, an officially licenced Star Trek computer with a rather distinct chassis. And it’s not just about the looks: This PC …

Apple Glasses. They’re fun to think about, and multiple rumors suggest they might actually be in development.  But they’re probably not coming anytime soon.  According to a Friday report in the Financial Times, Apple is still experimenting with multiple different prototypes of augmented-reality glasses — including some where you might have to wear your iPhone on your head. While the …

Like most smartwatches, the Apple Watch usually needs to be connected to a phone for most apps. But according to a new Bloomberg report, that could change by the end of the year.  Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports that Apple is planning a new version of the Apple Watch, one with its own LTE cellular data connection, by the end of …

Google reportedly offered $30 billion for Snapchat early in 2016. But it looks like Google may have decided to compete with Snapchat instead. The Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg are both reporting that Google is on the verge of launching a news service that echoes Snapchat Discover, by creating similar mini-magazines of slides (containing text, photos and videos) that you’d swipe …

Were you expecting Google’s Pixel 2 to have a bold new design? Don’t count on it.  Reputable phone leaker Evan Blass has just revealed two pictures of what’s very likely to be Google’s next phone, and it looks decidedly like the flagship phone we know (and loved) starting last October.  While Google head of hardware Rick Osterloh had previously confirmed …

In 2010, an Apple engineer left a prototype iPhone 4 in a bar, spoiling the biggest redesign to the iPhone since its 2007 debut.  Apple has arguably never made as big a mistake since. But history has a way of repeating itself. For its 10-year anniversary, Apple is widely expected to redesign the iPhone yet again — and another leak may …

Do you think the creators of Pokemon Go should have to fill out a 10-page event-permit application each time you want to play the augmented reality game in a public park? Neither does a Wisconsin district judge, who just pressed pause on a local ordinance that singled out AR games for particularly tough treatment. Some three months after Candy Lab, …

Do you use YouTube’s own web-based video editor to cut together your YouTube videos?  Statistically, you probably don’t. Google has noticed that less than 0.1 percent of all YouTube creators are using that particular feature, and so it — and YouTube’s Photo Slideshows feature, which I can’t say I’ve ever heard of — are officially going away on September 20.  …

It’s been a long time since Razer was satisfied building merely gaming mice, keyboards, and headphones. Every January, the company shows off a crazy new computer at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas — remember the three-screen laptop? — and now, Bloomberg reports Razer is working on a phone as well. We don’t know much about the device, mind you …

Last week, I argued that the first generation of VR headsets might not be worth buying, even at half the original price. This week, two Facebook executives tried to convince me otherwise.  In an interview — leaning on a huge, ornate wooden table that would fit right into Game of Thrones — they explained that technological advancements such as eye …
