Projectors are awesome for home theaters, because who doesn’t want a 100-inch (or larger) screen?

I am at Microsoft’s headquarters to get a demo of the HoloLens 2. I’m led down a basement hallway. Large sliding metal doors separate rooms. As I reach my destination, I find a re-creation of an automotive workshop. It smells like rubber tires. In front of me, there’s an ATV on a pedestal. Tools and parts are spread around the …

Facebook said Thursday that a work version of the social network that companies pay for now has more than 2 million users. Called Workplace, the enterprise product made its official debut in October 2016 but Facebook has never revealed how many people use the communications tool. The user numbers that Facebook Workplace released Thursday, though, don’t paint a complete picture.  Facebook …

I’m swinging through Manhattan, shooting my web at flagpoles, buildings and — inadvertently — a tree branch. I gain a little speed and altitude and start flying through the city. It certainly beats taking the subway. Now playing: Watch this: Spider-Man VR lets you shoot webs with 5G 2:28 While this virtual world places me in New York, I’m actually …

If you ever get frustrated by inane and even toxic replies degrading the value of your tweets, or even hijacking the thread completely, Twitter might have a solution for you. The social networking company on Thursday confirmed it’s developing a “Hide Tweet” feature that lets users protect their conversations by hiding individual replies to tweets. The “Hide Tweet” option was …

If you have anything to do with building software, Google wants you to sign up to use its new .dev domain. The internet address for developers is now available to all comers, the tech colossus said Thursday. For the past week, Google let people and companies sign up for .dev addresses at premium rates.

Chunky-style milk, anyone? In case you missed it, that was the cornerstone of Mint Mobile’s Super Bowl ad earlier this month — arguably one of the few entertaining things about that horrifically dull game. Me, I’ll stick with almond milk, thank you very much. But Mint’s latest trial offer — which ends tonight, Feb. 28, at midnight — is pretty darn …

At 2.4 pounds (1.1 kg) and 11.9 mm thick (0.5 inch), the 13.3-inch Lenovo IdeaPad 730S is lighter and thinner than the current MacBook Air. Its quad-core Intel Core i5 processor, faster 2,400MHz memory and speedy Samsung PCIe solid-state drive give it better performance than the Air, too. Plus, it’s less expensive, starting at $825, although the configuration reviewed here is …

Microsoft has rolled out a new, free Windows 10 ($144 at Amazon) app directed toward anyone who uses its Office suite, either the paid or free version.

Comfort, better visuals, easier to use with your hands. That’s the takeaway from HoloLens 2, Microsoft’s follow-up to the Space Age goggles it announced four years ago. The technology behind the $3,500 (about £2,700 or AU$4,900) HoloLens 2 device, which Microsoft calls “mixed reality,” overlays computer images on the real world. Imagine arrows directing you down the street as you walk, …

The GoPro Hero 7 is back in…white. Dusk white to be more specific.  The camera maker announced Thursday a limited edition white version of its Hero 7 Black camera. It’s the first time GoPro has sold a special color of its flagship camera. This seems an odd choice given its cheapest camera is the Hero 7 White, but the models …

Ask me to fix a broken car or motorbike, and you’d be out of luck. But that’s exactly what Microsoft wanted me to do. And the tool it gave me was its new mixed reality HoloLens 2 headset. After I slipped it on, a set of digital instructions popped up over an actual broken ATV, set up in a mock …
