Google's Nest open sources OpenThread to snag more IoT partners, take on Amazon
Earlier this year, a report in The Information claimed that Google-owned Nest was working on a rival to Amazon’s Echo — a service that would bring together a number of other connected devices and services to help people organise and manage their homes alongside Nest’s own thermostats and other products. Now it appears that some of these developments are coming to pass. Today, Nest announced OpenThread, an open source-based code implementation of the technology that Nest has developed for its o..>> view originalCivilization 6 revealed, brings major changes
The great cities of history were centers of culture, science, and industry. They housed artists. They fostered inventions. They raised factories to build machines of war. In Civilization VI, cites are more nuanced than ever and, if developer Firaxis has its way, the key to making playthroughs different, each and every time.Created by the lead designers of Civilization V's major expansions (Gods and Kings and Brave New World), Civ VI marks a drastic departure from how we think about city placemen..>> view originalOculus highlights over 1 million Gear VR users with new content
"Oculus' mission is to help people experience anything, anywhere," Max Cohen, Oculus' head of mobile, told a roomful of journalists this Tuesday. There's the high-end experience of the Rift, of course, but there's also the portable easy-to-use version of the Gear VR. "The secret [with VR] is it can't just be slightly better than other experiences that you've had," said Cohen. "It has to be even better." Part of the reason why the million mark is so exciting, then, is because it'll hopefully pu..>> view originalYouTube built a messaging feature into its mobile app
While YouTube comments have long been the chaotic and unheeding scourge of the internet, the company still appears confident its users can have civil conversations about online video. Starting today, a new chat feature called native sharing is available for a small subset of YouTube users, according to a report from Wired. It lets you converse with others via text, photos, and links inside the YouTube mobile app. You can even share a video with friends and chat about it directly. Those who have..>> view originalInstagram's big redesign goes live with a colorful new icon, black-and-white app and more
Instagram’s new icon is pink. Well, it’s pink and purple and yellow and orange. It’s definitely different. And that’s not all the company has changed today. Instagram this morning is rolling out a radical redesign of its mobile application, which not only includes this new, brightly colored app icon but also a revamped user interface that does away with color in favor of a black-and-white look and feel. You may remember that screenshots of this redesign leaked last month, prompting ma..>> view originalMicrosoft is killing its Sunrise calendar app on August 31st
Microsoft revealed last year that it was planning to merge its Outlook and Sunrise apps into a single app. After acquiring Sunrise more than a year ago, Microsoft is now planning to kill off the standalone app at the end of August. Sunrise will be removed from the App Store in the "next few days," and it will stop working altogether on August 31st. "As heartbreaking as this sounds, we're hard at work bringing the magic of Sunrise to the Outlook apps," reads a message from the Sunrise team at Mi..>> view original11 ways to get the most out of Google Keep on Android
I really need to upgrade my brain's internal storage. I'm only partially kidding: Just like a hard drive, I'm pretty sure my mind reached maximum capacity at some point in the past decade. The only way I can remember anything these days is by making and maintaining a million notes, both physical and digital. (My wife can confirm this. "I told you that a week ago" is an all-too-common phrase around these parts.) I'm still waiting for Western Digital to start selling SSD implants for the n..>> view originalThe new 'Ace Attorney' lands in September
The 3DS game is set in the Kingdom of Khura'in, where lawyers are persecuted and trials are conducted by spirit séances. Best thing about it is that it's bringing back beloved characters from the older installments, including Miles Edgeworth, Ema Skye and even Wright's original ramen burger-loving sidekick Maya Fey. What would make it even better, though, is if its success leads to the North American and European release of The Great Ace Attorney. Because we're sure a lot of fans would love to ..>> view originalDoes Culling Actually Encourage Poaching Of Endangered Species?
