It’s not surprising to see an iPhone in the hands of powerful executives but it gets a tad embarrassing when these executives lead other smartphone companies. The latest to join the club is Lei Jun, CEO of Xiaomi, who was caught red-handed on Weibo posting via iPhone. Lei Jun posted a picture of a few […]

Sony has announced the world’s first image sensor with integrated AI smarts. The new IMX500 sensor incorporates both processing power and memory, allowing it to perform machine learning-powered computer vision tasks without extra hardware. The result, says Sony, will be faster, cheaper, and more secure AI cameras.
Over the past few years, devices ranging from smartphones to surveillance cameras have benefited from the integration of AI. Machine learning can be used to not only improve the quality of the pictures we take, but also understand video like a human would; identifying people and objects in frame. The applications of this technology are huge (and sometimes worrying), enabling everything from self-driving cars to automated...

Spotify is offering two new deals, starting today, to bring more people over to its premium subscription service. New users can get three free months if they sign up from today through June 30th, and the deal applies to any premium plans including family, student, and individual.

People can access both deals from spotify.com/premium.
The offers seemingly suggest Spotify is trying to ensure it’ll keep making subscription revenue while the COVID-19 pandemic continues. Its overall revenue partially comes from advertising,...

People are increasingly buying midrange Android devices over their more premium alternatives, data from research firms suggests. Strategy Analytics reports that Samsung’s midrange Galaxy A51 was the bestselling Android phone in the first three months of the year, followed by Xiaomi’s Redmi 8. The Galaxy S20 Plus was the only flagship phone in the firm’s top-six ranking, where it came in third.
“As mobile operators have reduced subsidies in recent years, and many countries are now tumbling into post-virus recession, smartphone consumers globally are becoming increasingly price-sensitive,” Strategy Analytics Associate Director Juha Winter explains, “Consumers want value-for-money devices with good-enough specs at affordable prices. Android...

Elon Musk’s Boring Company has completed digging a second tunnel underneath the Las Vegas Convention Center, marking the end of the first phase of the $52.5 million project to build a “people-mover” system to shuttle visitors from one side of the venue to the other. The first of the two tunnels was finished in February.
Workers will now turn their attention to completing the above-ground passenger stations on either end of the tunnels, as well as a third underground station in the middle of the system. The people-mover, which is being formally called the Convention Center Loop, is still scheduled to open to the public in January 2021 in time for the next Consumer Electronics Show — if CES happens, that is.

Currently the Indian cricketers are enjoying time with their families amid the forced break due to the global coronavirus pandemic.
All cricket has been suspended in the wake of coronavirus pandemic and dark clouds are circling over the fate of the showpiece event -- scheduled to take place in October-November Down Under -- as well.
The West Indies had originally been scheduled to play the three Tests in June but the series has been pushed back due to the novel coronavirus outbreak.
Pakistan chief selector and head coach Misbah-ul-Haq on Wednesday said Babar Azam has been given the ODI captaincy keeping in mind the 2023 World Cup in mind so that the ace batsman can be groomed in three years' time for the showpiece event.
South Africa women's upcoming ODI series against the West Indies, scheduled to begin at the end of the month in Jamaica and Trinidad, has been postponed due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
Former Test spinner Nadeem Khan has been appointed as the PCBs Director -- High Performance following a robust recruitment process. Nadeem was one of the 16 candidates who had applied for the role and was subsequently interviewed by Iqbal Qasim (Chairman, Cricket Committee), Wasim Akram (Member, Cricket Committee), David Parsons (Ex-Performance Director – ECB) and Wasim Khan (Chief Executive, PCB).
For quite sometime now, there have been talks about split captaincy in the Indian side, with different leaders for white ball and red ball format. Former England skipper Nasser Hussain, who is known to speak his mind, believes that it might not be the best idea after all. In a podcast for Cricbuzz, Hussain said that Virat Kohli might not be comfortable sharing the responsibility of captaincy with other teammate.
Who says Test matches can't have thrilling, nail-biting finishes. It was possibly the last over of Misbah-ul-Haq and Younis Khan's long Test career in the Caribbean, with the three-match series tied 1-1. All Pakistan needed was a wicket to win their first ever away series against West Indies.New animated flick Scoob! is coming out in a couple of days, which is a pretty big deal as it’s the first major Scooby-Doo movie in years. However, Mystery Incorporated fans have got a special place in their hearts for the live-action films of the early 00s, so a third cinematic live-action take on the gang is really what the people want (and what writer James Gunn actually had planned). Preferably, with the original cast back together, too (Freddie Prinze Jr., Sarah Michelle Gellar, Linda Cardellini and Matthew Lillard).
Lillard is probably the most natural choice to bring back, seeing as he’s been voicing Norville “Shaggy” Rogers in the animated TV series and direct-to-DVD movies ever since. However, even he can’t see it happening. While speaking to Too Fab, the Scream star was asked if he thinks a live-action reunion movie could occur with him in it, and Lillard was pretty conclusive in his reply.
“No. They have a Scooby-Doo [Scoob!] coming out next week. If I’m not in the animated version, I will not be in the regular one.”
He’s right, he’s not in Scoob! There have been a lot of complaints from fans that the regular voice-acting cast for the Scooby gang weren’t rehired for the new movie. Instead, comedian Will Forte is playing Shaggy, with Zac Efron (Fred), Amanda Seyfried (Daphne) and Gina Rodriguez (Velma) also featuring. So, though it might be disappointing, you can follow Lillard’s logic. If they don’t want him for the animated flick, the studio isn’t going to get him back in the flesh.
On a more positive note, Lillard seems set to continue voicing Shaggy in all the regular Scooby-Doo content for the foreseeable. And it’s good to have a big release like Scoob! again, even if it’s sadly unable to hit theaters, as was the original plan. But you can view it from the comfort of your own homes on VOD from May 15th.
