Bottom line: The one major chink in the proverbial armor could be wireless carriers. Specifically, will they be able to get the infrastructure in place to support 5G in a meaningful capacity by 2021? Keep in mind that current 5G technology has a much more limited range than traditional 4G LTE. Are consumers really going to adopt 5G handsets in droves if they only afford a speed benefit in very few places?

Qualcomm at its annual Analyst Day in New York City this week said it expects

Cutting corners: Tired of reading EULAs and ToS agreements? Don't read them at all? DoNotPay's "robot lawyer" has got your back. The company is now offering a subscription-based service that will read any licensing contract that you plug into it and alert you to loopholes and other conditions you should pay attention to.

DoNotPay , a service launched in 2017 that uses AI to help people with legal issues, like traffic tickets , has announced a new service called “Do Not Sign

A hot potato: Uber clearly believes the perceived benefits of audio recording outweigh the shortcomings associated with personal privacy. They'll need to tread very carefully, however, as this is a hot-button subject right now with severe implications if mishandled.

Uber is reportedly planning to pilot a new feature in some Latin American cities next month that’ll record audio during rides in an effort to promote a safer environment.

The Washington Post first learned of the controversial feature, which is eventually destined for the US, via internal

The big picture: Just as President Donald Trump is set to meet Tim Cook at Apple's manufacturing plant in Texas, the company revealed its plans to build a new campus in the region. The tech giant has scored some exemptions on import tariffs for its products, especially now that a significant number of Mac Pro's will be made in stateside.

Today, Apple announced it will start construction on a new campus in Austin, Texas, as the company is looking to expand its presence in the region. The

Throwing us bones: Now that Diablo IV has been confirmed, in addition to quarterly development updates, we can expect Blizzard to start drip-feeding us information on the game's progress. Indeed, that drizzle of details has already begun.

In a blog post on Tuesday, Blizzard provided insights into some of Diablo IV's system design elements.

Right off the bat, the post addressed some concerns that arose from some who played the demo during BlizzCon. In the demo, players were not allowed to assign skills

Something to look forward to: Clean energy company Heliogen has developed a technique for creating concentrated solar energy that could be used to replace fossil fuels in key industrial processes. Its secret? Advanced computer vision that helps to hyper-accurately align mirrors.

Up to this point, commercial concentrating solar thermal systems have only been able to reach temperatures of up to 565 degrees Celsius. While handy, it’s not nearly hot enough for use in many industrial processes.

By using advanced computer vision software to accurately align a

Bottom line: The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) at a hearing this week pegged Uber’s “inadequate safety culture” as a contributing factor in the March 18, 2018, collision that left a pedestrian dead. It really boils down to human error from all parties involved - Uber, the safety driver and the pedestrian - as action by any of them could have avoided the unfortunate outcome.

Specifically, the NTSB said the immediate cause of the accident was the failure of the Uber safety driver

Through the looking glass: Suspended animation is a term we hear in a lot of sci-fi movies, usually when a person is sent on a long-term space journey. Now, scientists have used the technique on humans in real life for the first time, as a way of fixing extreme injuries.

As reported by New Scientist , Samuel Tisherman, at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, said his team had placed at least one person in suspended animation, though he wouldn’t say how many people

WTF?! The relationship between Amazon’s Ring division and law enforcement is already a contentious issue, and it’s about to get more controversial. The retail giant has admitted that police can ask users for videos up to 45 days old and 12 hours long, keep them forever, and share them with anyone without providing evidence of a crime.

Back in August, it was revealed that Ring has partnerships with hundreds of US police forces, allowing them access to Ring doorbell and
