Kroger, America’s largest grocery store chain, has partnered with Microsoft to create a pair of hi-tech grocery stores. The stores, which are located in Washington and Ohio, are filled with digital shelf labels and image recognition cameras, and aim to create a retail environment that’s easier for both customers and retail employees to navigate. The two companies also hope to use the digital signage to sell targeted ads based on customer demographics.
Kroger is the second major retailer to have partnered with Microsoft after Walmart announced a partnership of its own last year. America’s retail incumbents are wary of the growing threat Amazon poses to their businesses, both via its Whole Foods acquisition and the 3,000 Amazon Go stores...
Panasonic isn't much of a US TV brand anymore, but the company still releases new sets internationally. At CES, it's announcing its latest flagship GZ2000 4K OLED TV, which Panasonic says utilizes a “professional edition” panel that's been tuned to perfection in Hollywood by colorist Stefan Sonnenfeld.
With the GZ2000, Panasonic is claiming a number of firsts. This TV supports both Dolby Vision and the Samsung-backed HDR10+, which Panasonic says sets it apart. It also supports HLG Photo for displaying HDR color gamut in still images from the company's own mirrorless cameras. The TV features upward-firing Dolby Atmos speakers built directly into the TV, which is fairly unique as TV speakers go. The audio output was tuned by Panasonic’s...
Good evening and happy New Year! To the hundreds of you who signed up of the break, thank you and welcome to The Interface. My goal is to offer you the best daily liveblog of a tumultuous era in technology and government, in convenient newsletter format. If the past few weeks were any indication, we’ll have plenty to talk about in 2019.
What did you miss over the break? Lots more scrutiny of Facebook, for starters. The New York Times published a fusillade of stories examining the company’s historically lax oversight of its data-sharing agreements with third parties; its problematic efforts to aid suicidal users; the political ramifications of its content-moderation regime; and the reluctance of the Federal Trade Commission to weigh in on...
Oppo has quietly listed another R-series phone, the R15 Pro, on Amazon India. The Oppo R15 Pro was initially regarded as the foundation of OnePlus 6 and was first launched in China in April 2018. Back then, it was among the first few Android phones with a notch cut out. As of today, this Snapdragon 660 […]

Huawei shipped more than 200 million phones last year, thus scoring a position among the top 3 smartphone vendors globally. In 2019, the company aims to rise to the number one spot and its affordable Honor line should particularly be significant in cracking markets like India. The first of many phones from Huawei this year […]

Shenzen-based Remo showcased its first product at CES today, a 4K, AI-enabled camera called the Obsbot Tail which follows subjects around like a dedicated cinematographer. A 12-megapixel camera with 3.5x optical zoom sits on a 3-axis gimbal, which swivels around smoothly. It’s meant to be ideal for capturing scenes at the skate park, basketball court, or dance: anything where a lot of movement is involved. Or if you’re not regularly shooting yourself doing skateboarding tricks, it’s also useful for YouTubers who want to level up their videos without having to ask a friend to film.
The Obsbot recognizes various gesture controls — you can flash your palm towards the camera to get it to lock its focus on you; putting up a peace sign will...
Samsung Electronics recorded its highest ever profits last quarter, but three months on things aren’t looking so great. The company issued guidance today warning that revenue and profits for the three months ending December 31st 2018 will be sharply down year-on-year. Samsung expects sales of about 59 trillion won (about $52.5 billion), down 11 percent from 12 months prior, while operating profit is set to drop 29 percent to about 10.8 trillion won (about $9.6 billion).
The forecast has shocked investors and analysts, which CNBC notes were expecting 13.2 trillion won of operating profit from 62.8 trillion in revenue. Unusually, Samsung has issued a statement explaining its guidance; the company normally waits for the full earnings...
The ideal workstation depends on who you ask, and whether that person prefers more monitors or just one and just how much clutter they’re comfortable with. But the closest approximation to most modern office workers’ dream workstation is probably the Cemtrex SmartDesk, an absurdly over-featured, three-monitor adjustable standing desk with a built-in Windows PC and a dizzying number of other integrated features.
The desk made the rounds online earlier this year, but we actually got to try it ourselves here at CES, and it’s actually quite a stellar setup. For one, you get three, 24-inch IP{S touchscreens to work with. (No 4K, unfortunately.) But on top of that, Cemtrex put a pretty solid keyboard, trackpad, and even a Leap Motion gesture...
Wacom has announced its most affordable pen display ever, the $649 Cintiq 16. The new display shares the same stylus as higher-end products and is meant to be an entry-level introduction to pen displays for young creatives and hobbyists. It’s got a 15.6-inch screen with a 1920 x 1080 display, and its stylus, the Wacom Pro Pen 2, has 8,192 levels of pressure sensitivity and never needs to be charged.
The Cintiq 16 is an entirely new device, distinct from the similarly named Cintiq Pro 16. It’s geared toward artists who want to make the transition from drawing on screen-less pen tablets that plug into computers, to physically drawing on the displays themselves. Previously, the steep price difference between Wacom’s intro line of Intuos...
A new sneak peek at Captain Marvel that aired during the College Football Playoff National Championship game between Alabama and Clemson brought back one of Marvel’s most beloved characters within the Marvel Cinematic Universe — Agent Coulson.
Coulson appeared to die in the first Avengers film in 2012, but continued to live on in ABC’s Agents of SHIELD. Although, like Agent Nick Fury, played by Samuel L. Jackson, Coulson (Clark Gregg) is much younger than we remember in Captain Marvel. Captain Marvel takes place before the majority of the current MCU films — with the exception of Captain America: The First Avenger, which took place during the Second World War.
The new Captain Marvel trailer also provides a better glimpse into the...
We don’t usually pay much attention to T-Mobile’s Twitter antics, but earlier today the carrier had a solid retort to some nonsense from AT&T. In response to AT&T updating a few different phones to show a “5G E” connectivity logo — despite being completely incapable of connecting to a 5G network — T-Mobile tweeted a short video of someone putting a sticky note reading “9G” on top of their iPhone’s LTE icon.
It’s a simple and dumb stunt. And it’s a completely fair metaphor for what AT&T is doing.
AT&T is updating three phones (Samsung’s Galaxy S8 Active and LG’s V30 and V40) to show this pseudo-5G icon when they’re connected to LTE networks that have received some speed-boosting updates. While it’s true that the connections may be...
Intel faces a fight for its future, as we reported in June. That’s when company CEO Brian Krzanich resigned, and that’s when it became crystal-clear just how much work it would take for the processor giant to claw its way back to everyday relevance — particularly considering that even its core processor business had been struggling to turn out batches of continually smaller, more efficient CPUs, after delaying its 10nm parts several times in a row.
Here at CES is Las Vegas, the company didn’t have an awful lot to announce that’d excite everyday folks, but if you’re watching Intel because you’re interested in the company’s chances of turning it all around, you might want to check out our 9-minute video highlighting the main things Intel...
Motiv is adding heart rate-sensing security features to its smart ring that will enable it to make payments later in the year, the company announced today at CES. The ring has always measured your heart rate for the purposes of tracking your exercise and activity, but now the company wants to measure the heart accurately enough to read it like a fingerprint and verify your identity. Once your identity is verified, the ring can communicate with point-of-sale terminals to authorize payments. Motiv intends to add the new functionality via a software update in the second half of 2019.
The device works based on the theory that everyone’s heart gives off unique signals in their heart rates. Motiv intends to use electrocardiography (EKG) to...
Anker, once known as a leading accessory maker and now a multi-faceted consumer electronics company, hasn’t abandoned its roots as a supplier of some of the fastest and highest-quality chargers around. The company’s newest line of ultrafast chargers, the PowerPort Atom series, is set to start shipping its first device later this month, the company announced today during CES. The Atom PD 1, as it’s called, was originally announced back in October, but the product was ultimately delayed a few months. The company now says it should be available for the same price of $29.99 later in January, though a concrete ship date has not yet been set.
What makes this charger special is its speed and efficiency. Gallium nitride, or GaN, is fast...

Seeing as they’ve already given us two full trailers to feast on, both of which sent fans into a frenzy of excitement, the promotional campaign for Captain Marvel could’ve spent the next little while simply recycling its pre-released footage for run-of-the-mill promos and it still would’ve done gangbusters at the box office come March. But it looks like Marvel Studios is willing to show us just a bit more from Carol Danvers’ solo debut, as a new preview has debuted on ESPN tonight and it’s got a healthy amount of fresh footage in it.
Brough to life by the inimitable Brie Larson, you can feast your eyes on more Captain Marvel goodness up above, as we get a further look at Miss Danvers, an Air Force pilot who “becomes one of the universe’s most powerful heroes” and “finds herself and a small cadre of allies at the center of a galactic war.” All of that and more’s teased in the new promo we have for you today, which promises a dazzling cosmic adventure – with a fair amount of humor, to boot – that’ll no doubt make for another exciting chapter in the MCU.
With Carol said to be starting off the film with her superpowers already in place, it’s clear that Captain Marvel won’t follow the conventional origin story formula, but from this preview and the others ones we’ve seen, it looks like the pic will focus a lot on her early years, as the amnesia-stricken hero struggles to piece together her own backstory.
Charting well on various Most Anticipated Movies of 2019 lists, Captain Marvel has been steadily building up a good deal of hype ever since its first preview dropped back in September, before its second trailer in December took things to a whole other level. And though we’ve already seen quite a lot of the film, you can be sure that Captain Marvel is still saving its biggest surprises for when it hits theaters on March 8th.
After that, we’ll find out if fans are prepared for an even more hyped-up MCU event when Anthony and Joe Russo’s Avengers: Endgame comes out on April 26th and forever changes the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
