HMD Global announced it's bringing back the Nokia 8110 feature phone at Barcelona's Mobile World Congress. The "slider phone," which was first popularized because of its appearance in the 1999 film "The Matrix," is following the footsteps of the 3310. The Nokia 8110 is not meant to compete with the rest of the smartphones in the market, but it's still packing some modern technology, which might make it a nice companion to a more full-fledged device. Business Insider went to Nokia's booth at Mobile World Congress to take a closer look at the "bananaphone".

Apple has confirmed that it uses Google’s public cloud to store data for its iCloud services in its latest version of the iOS Security Guide last month, as spotted by CNBC. Reports that Apple relied on Google’s cloud services surfaced in 2016 but were previously never confirmed. Apple had previously used remote data storage systems provided by Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure. Apple’s edition of the iOS Security Guide in March 2017 still listed Microsoft Azure instead of Google Cloud Platform. The new edition describes its iCloud service: “The encrypted chunks of the file are stored, without any user-identifying information, using third-party storage services, such as [Amazon] S3 and Google Cloud Platform.” The report doesn’t clearly state whether Apple uses any Google cloud services outside of storing photos and videos, nor does it give a start date for when Apple first made the switch. Apple and Google did not immediately respond to comment. Source: www.msn.com ...

A few months ago, I met my favorite dog. I was standing in my friend's living room when Tassie, a little black and white chonzer puppy, came sniffing by my feet. She looked up at me, got up on her hind legs and placed her two front paws on my shin. A second later, she leaned forward, crossing her paws behind my calf and hugged my leg. I froze, my heart stopped and I melted into a puddle on the floor. I didn't dare to move in case she stopped hugging me. But then I thought, "This is a moment I want to memorialize!" So I reached for my phone, and as I shifted my weight slightly, Tassie walked away. I tried to get her to hug me again, but to no avail. My heart had been won, but the moment was lost. If I had had a Google Clips with me then, that story might have ended differently. I'd have had a shot at recording that moment for posterity. It's kind of like Snap's Spectacles in the body of a GoPro, being told when to capture bursts of video by built...

“Technology, for me, it’s giving something back to somebody who was taken out of humanity.” – Andy Fabino What if we told you there is an innovation that can help about 285 million people around the world living with a visual impairment move around with a little more ease?  1 Okay, it’s easy enough to believe, but what if we told you the innovation works by using the surface of their tongues? Now here’s something that should be celebrated: there’s an increasing number of  sensory-substitution device s being developed that use the brain in the most remarkable way. These devices take in visual information from the environment and translate it into forms of physical touch or sound in order to be interpreted by the user as vision. If that’s not amazing enough,  The New Yorker  lets us in on yet another benefit: “While these devices were designed with the goal of restoring lost sensation, in the past decade they have begun to revise our understanding of bra...

Rainforests have some of the most complicated soundscapes on the planet. In this dense noise of insects, primates, birds, and everything else that moves in the forest, how can you detect the sounds of illegal logging? How do you go about saving the rainforest with old cell phones? After a visit to the rainforests of Borneo, physicist and engineer  Topher White  was struck by the sounds of the forest. In particular, the noises he couldn’t hear. While on a walk, White and others came across an illegal logger sawing down a tree just a few hundred meters away from a ranger station. This incident set White thinking that perhaps the best way to save the Earth’s precious rainforest is to listen to its loggers and poachers. The innovation he came up with,  Rainforest Connection , uses old cell phones to help to save the planet in a big way. Here is Topher White on the  National Geographic Live  stage… Source: https :// everwideningcircles....

As you know, I always hunt for trends. Why? It’s important to know what’s coming next so you can budget for and leverage the right tech that will propel your business forward. Last week I attended CES, one of the largest tech conferences in the world, and the innovation on display didn’t disappoint.  From AI and VR to the IoT and smart cars, here’s my take on the top 18 trends from CES this year. This year, companies shared advancements in everything from consumer technology hardware to content to enterprise tech delivery systems to autonomous cars—and so much more. CES, as you know, is no joke when it comes to tech;  they’ve debuted  satellite radio, 3D printers, unmanned VR systems, and even the VCR way back 1970. This year followed suit; even with  flooded floors and a power outage , the convention gave us a snapshot of what enterprise tech you should be thinking about, budgeting for, or already integrating in 2018.
