After yesterday’s deluge, clear skies returned to Las Vegas on Wednesday as CES rolled into its second day. Power, however, was another issue as a two-hour blackout plunged the Las Vegas convention into darkness. Though the halls were largely evacuated, some attendees still visited exhibitor booths while others took a break in the sun or searched in vain for a …

In their unyielding efforts to catch eyeballs, websites often resort to aggressive tactics to engage you, the fickle, easily-distracted web reader. Many sites insist on starting a video without asking in the hopes you’ll become transfixed by the moving images and sounds and stay on the page longer.

Google did us no favors when it announced Google Clips last year, reviving a not-much-loved product category that had pretty much died with the Narrative Clip. Following in Google’s footsteps comes the $199 Roader Time Machine Camera which made its debut at CES 2018. The Time Machine Camera is less creepy, for sure. It constantly buffers video, and when you …

For anyone who’s ever watched a Samsung press conference at CES, this year felt different. To some, that might mean boring. There wasn’t quite the wow factor we’ve seen before. No moving wall dramatically parted to reveal a massive TV, and shiny refrigerators didn’t miraculously appear on stage. There weren’t any celebrities to talk about how much they adore Samsung …

Rokid, a Chinese company that’s developed voice assistant-based products, believes the answer is voice.
