STAT Health calls the human ear a “biometric gold mine.” The startup, which emerged out of stealth this morning, is talking specifically about cerebral blood flow (CBF). That's pretty much what it sounds like: the blood supply to the brain measured over a specific length of time. A lack of

“This completes the transition to Apple silicon,” Senior Vice President of Hardware Engineering John Ternus noted during last week's WWDC keynote. Apple never promised the process would happen overnight. At the 2020 event, CEO Tim Cook promised a two-year transitionary period. The company m

ABB this week announced that it has acquired Eve Systems, a German firm best known for a broad range of smart home accessories, including smart lights, plugs, air monitors and security cameras. I'll admit the deal initially struck me as strange, given that Zurich-based ABB is well known – in

The thin and light notebook is a creature of sacrifice. It's a reminder that freedom of movement means leaving things behind. It's packing a single knapsack for a week-long trip, leaving your home unencumbered, but entirely aware that some of the things you might want – or even occasional

We’ve been waxing lyrical (and critical) about Apple’s Vision Pro here at technewss this week – but, of course, there are other things happening in the world of wearable tech, as well. Sol Reader raised a $5 million seed round with a headset that doesn’t promise to do more.

Apple’s launch of Vision Pro, what it refers to as its first spatial computer, is generating a lot of buzz in China. The hashtag #Apple Vision Pro ?????? (Apple’s first head-mounted display) amassed over 40 million views on Weibo, China’s Twitter equivalent, on the lau

In many ways, drone delivery still feels very pie in the sky in terms of scalable e-commerce. In smaller, controlled pockets, however, the concept is going swimmingly. Among the spots is a small Google satellite campus in the Palo Alto foothills. The buildings, which neighbor larger Tesla and HP of

Once again, your intrepid robotics reporter finds himself in the warm embrace of the Bay. To paraphrase Mark Twain, the warmest I was ever embraced was early summer in Santa Clara. I'm writing this from a juice place in Palo Alto (living the dream), having finished a pair of back-to-back meetin

Oura is launching a new social feature called “Circles” that lets users share their personal health journeys with their friends and family, the smart ring company announced on Thursday. The new opt-in experience allows Oura users to share their daily scores with their community, send re

Minecraft is releasing a new version of its game Minecraft: Bedrock Edition for Chromebooks for $19.99. The purchase will give users access to Minecraft Marketplace, the ability to play on Realms and the Android version as well. Google said that Minecraft should be compatible with Chromebooks relea

technewss tried out the Apple Vision Pro headset, concluding that it is very good — but perhaps also too good to be true. Apple has a long history of launching first-generation products that are pretty decent before quickly following up with updates and amendments that make the original kit bett

We've never met. We've never talked. And still, I feel confident telling you that the Vision Pro isn't for you. At the end of the day, it's an odds game. You're most people, and it's therefore not for you. If you know one thing about the headset, it's probably the fact t

"speakable-summary" style="font-weight: 400;">After a roughly 30-minute demo that ran through the major features that are yet ready to test, I came away convinced that Apple has delivered nothing less than a genuine leapfrog in capability and execution of XR — or mixed reality — with its new App
