Aside from getting them to eat their vegetables and wake up for school, getting your kids to brush their teeth is one of the hardest things to do. Fortunately, Kolibree has made it easier with its Magik smart toothbrush. Using computer vision technology, motion tracking and your phone’s front-facing camera, Magik incentivises kids to brush …

HTC is sharpening its view of virtual reality.  The Taiwanese company, best known for making slick-looking phones, on Monday at a CES press conference unveiled an upgraded Vive Pro, which like the original Vive system requires a high-end PC and a cable attachment connecting the two, but has enhanced resolution, integrated headphones and a number of other improvements. The Vive …

Apple on Monday released an update to iOS, the software that runs iPhones and iPads, that fixes a major problem that haunted the processors in those devices.  The flaw, dubbed Spectre by the researchers who found it, made the silicon chips vulnerable to a hacking attack that could reveal secret information your devices normally keep locked down. The update comes …

We were promised flying cars. Intel said it’s closer than we think.  At CES on Monday, Intel CEO Brian Krzanich showed off the Volocopter, an autonomous passenger drone, which he called “essentially a flying car.” The Volocopter comes from a Germany-based company that launched in 2012, with its first flight in 2013.  Intel brought it to its stage at CES …

In fall 2017, chipmaking rivals Intel and AMD made a splash when they announced a low(er)-power processor combining Intel’s eighth-generation series of Core i H-series CPUs with AMD Radeon RX Vega M discrete graphics.

With its newest ThinkPad X, T and L series business laptops and two-in-ones, Lenovo is doing a little extra to keep peepers and creepers from getting at you and your data.  Along with match-on-sensor touch fingerprint readers and IR cameras for facial recognition to make sign-ins easy while keeping your system secure, Lenovo has added physical webcam covers to the …

Year to year, CES has a certain sameness about it: Intel’s booth at the front, Sony’s in the back and thousands of ginormous TVs in between. The topics and trends feel like the same things we’ve been talking about forever: Internet of things, smart home, autonomous vehicles, wireless everything. Is this really any different from last year? On the one …

At this year’s CES you’ll hear plenty of talk about driverless cars, connected homes and the internet of things. (Yes, we promise IoT, perhaps the buzziest of tech trends, is more than just hackable baby monitors and $400 internet-connected juicers.) Here’s the technology that will drive all of those innovations over the next decade: 5G. The shorthand tag “5G” stands …

While it doesn’t always garner the major headlines and once-a-year buzz of new big-screen televisions, the annual CES trade show is also big for the computer industry, with dozens of new laptops, desktops, tablets and 2-in-1 hybrids announced.
