Should Microsoft release a successor to Surface 3?
Microsoft will stop manufacturing Surface 3 by the end of the year, which raises a big question: Will there be a Surface 4?The company has declined to say whether a Surface 4 will ever be released. But Microsoft says it saw strong demand for the Surface 3 tablet PC, so releasing a successor seems like a no-brainer.[ The InfoWorld review: The best 13-inch laptops for Windows 10 | Survive and thrive with a new OS: The ultimate Windows 10 survivor kit. | Stay up to date on the industry with th..>> view originalIf We're Going to Get to Mars, These Rockets Need to Work
If humans are going to get to Mars, they’re going to need rockets with some serious liftoff power. NASA’s Space Launch System is the most powerful rocket in the world—it has twin five-segment solid rocket boosters, four liquid propellant engines, and a minimum of 70 metric tons of lifting power—but engineers won’t know until June 28th if it’s really going to work. At 8:05 am MDT on Tuesday, SLS will undergo a qualification ground test at Orbital ATK’s facilities in Utah that will see if its sys..>> view originalTwitter's New Stickers Are Snapchat Filters, But for Tweets
Filters are one of Snapchat’s most ingenious features. They let you take an otherwise-boring photo or video (you talking to the camera) and make it amazing (you talking to the camera with rainbows shooting out of your mouth!). No wonder everyone’s now trying to capture some of that same magic in their own app. First Facebook bought MSQRD, and added its many masks and filters to its live video; now Twitter’s adding Stickers, which is a clever mash-up of all Snapchat’s filters into a single plac..>> view originalGoogle CEO's Quora Account Hacked
It's just another manic Monday for Sundar Pichai: The Google CEO appears to have been hacked. A group of hackers, who have also hit accounts owned by Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg and Spotify chief Daniel Ek, posted messages on Q&A site Quora via Pichai's account. Since that account is connected to Pichai's Twitter profile, the hackers' messages were also broadcast to the CEO's 500,000-plus social media followers. "Today, we checked Sundar Pichai Security, and we got access to his Twitter [and] Quo..>> view originalForget 2016 Nexus phones, Google is said to be making an iPhone 7 killer
There’s no doubt about the fact that Google will have to launch at least one new Nexus smartphone this year. It’s the only way for the company to show what Android N can do – to customers, developers, and OEMs. In fact, at this point, there’s no way for Google to launch a major Android release and not make a Nexus phone. But unlike in previous years, 2016 might mark the year when Google launches both Nexus devices and a Google-branded phone that wants to be an iPhone killer of sorts. The device..>> view originalOne-Week Countdown Begins for Juno Mission's Daring Arrival at Jupiter
NASA's Juno probe is only one week away from its arrival at Jupiter, where it will execute a daring maneuver in order to get closer to the giant planet than any other spacecraft in history. Getting up-close and personal with Jupiter is a serious challenge for space probes, because the Jovian giant is surrounded by a belt of very intense radiation that can quickly fry most spacecraft electronics. So rather than orbiting the planet, Juno will make a series of 37 loops between Jupiter and th..>> view originalMeet the Smartest, Cutest AI-Powered Robot You've Ever Seen
Boris Sofman taps his phone, and the robot on the conference room table in front of him wakes up. Not in that gadget-y way, like when a laptop screen turns on, though. The robot slowly raises its head and opens one eye, then the other, as if the light of the world is just too much. Sofman, CEO of robotics company Anki, chuckles as the it shakes off the rust of sleep and ambles off its charging cradle. After circling the table a moment, it drives quickly to the edge. It only pauses once it’s dri..>> view originalThe 5G Wireless Revolution Just Started With This Move
Image source: Getty Images. It's not every day a revolution begins, but we may have seen the start of one this past Monday. That's when FCC chairman and industry lightning rod Tom Wheeler delivered a speech that should jump-start the 5G revolution. Wheeler's opening salvo is likely to initiate fresh competition among U.S. telecoms AT&T (NYSE:T), Verizon Communications (NYSE:VZ), T-Mobile (NASDAQ:TMUS), and Sprint (NYSE:S), though the first punch in this battle is probably years away.
