AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) review: Welcome updates to Apple's best buds
Market share analyses aren't an exact science, exactly. Different firms take different factors into account, though more often than not, the numbers more or less line up among the bigger players. We discussed these figures in our recent review of the Apple Watch Series 8, noting that the line h
These autonomous, wireless robots could dance on a human hair
The competition to create ever smaller, ever better robots is a fierce one, and Cornell University is out front now with a set of bots small enough to sit on a human hair but that can move on their own using nothing but light as a power source.
Now, you may remember a similarly small machine from a
Framework partners with Google for a user-repairable $999 Chromebook
Repairable electronics firm Framework just announced a new take on the company's signature laptop. Produced in association with Google, the company is releasing the Framework Laptop Chromebook Edition. As the name suggests, it's an iteration of the Framework Laptop specifically designed for
SoftBank Robotics Europe is now Aldebaran (again)
Its 2015 acquisition of Aldebaran didn't go as smoothly as SoftBank hoped. At the time, the French robotics startup was best known for its Nao, which had become a fairly ubiquitous presence in research facilities across the globe. The small humanoid robot formed the foundation for the rebranded
Ideon Technologies digs up $16M Series A to use particle physics to find critical minerals
Car companies and battery manufacturers have scrambled over the last few years to secure critical minerals supplies, a race that's only gotten more intense as consumers snap up every EV that comes off the production line.
Demand is so high that the International Energy Agency believes the criti
Brelyon is turning heads with immersive virtual monitors
MIT spin-off Brelyon first showed off its tech at CES in Vegas back in January. Today it is announcing it has raised a chunk of cash, and I spoke to the company’s CEO to get a heads-up on what he’s been heads-down with, as he’s turning heads with his headless displays.

Apollo Pro wants to be ‘the Cybertruck of scooters’
The folks at Apollo aren’t messing around when they say they aren’t cutting any corners in creating their new Apollo Pro scooter. The new electric scooter has all the bells and whistles. The $3,600 Pro will stand at the peak of the company’s current lineup of scooters, ranging fro
Anki's spiritual successor hits Kickstarter with some impressive moves
Like a number of attendees, I was taken with ClicBot when I first saw it a few CESes ago. We're all up to our ears in “educational” robotics kits. STEM learning is important, of course, but the last several years have seen a veritable explosion in these sorts of toys, and your mileage is go
Kav spools up a 3D printing factory for bike helmets in Silicon Valley
I’m not a doctor, but I’ve been led to believe that heads and brains are important parts of human infrastructure, and protecting them makes a lot of sense. The other thing worth keeping in mind is that all heads are slightly differently shaped, and I’m surprised we haven’t s
Apple Watch Series 8 review: Hoping for the best, preparing for the worst
Let's pretend, for a minute, that you're Apple. You didn't create the smartwatch market, but you currently control more than one-third of it. You're caught up in a yearly refresh cycle (of your own design). It's not easy, but you're used to it. That’s how your hardware
Apple is rolling out a setup fix for iPhone 14 buyers
Most people who are updating their existing iPhones to iOS 16.0 will be busy customizing their new Lock Screens and exploring all the nifty features of the new operating system. But If you have pre-ordered a new iPhone 14 or plan on buying one, you will have to update to iOS 16.0.1 straight away to
Northeastern University VR lab targeted in explosive mail attack
A staff member at Northeastern University’s Holmes Hall was injured after opening an explosive package, the Boston Police Department reports.
Holmes Hall is home to the university’s virtual reality center. Federal law enforcement sources told CNN that the package included a “rambl
GoPro's Hero11 gets improved image quality, stabilization and a Mini version
This year marks GoPro's 20th year. It's been an interesting journey for a company that has become synonymous with a specific product category for well over a decade. I'd venture to guess that — to this day — more people are familiar with the GoPro name than the term “action ca
Review of Apple's iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro: They're leaning into it
Apple's iPhone 14 lineup delivers on a bunch of different vectors this year with very few peccadillos or complaints. Apple is really leaning into its silicon lead to deliver big gains year over year in cameras, and it's leaning on its design teams to give users new ways to interact with the
