Apple To Completely Drop Butterfly Switches By 2020

The details came from Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, in a note to investors. Beginning the aforementioned MacBook Pro, future hardware will be using the scissor mechanism instead of the Butterfly mechanism. This will result in keyboards that are less likely to fail due to heat, dust and other small particles.

Apple Watch Series 7 Offers Larger Display New Case Sizes And Faster Charging Speed

Prior to last night’s event, we kept on hearing about how the new smartwatch will feature a redesigned body that mirrors the flat design on iPhone and iPad Pro. That rumour turns out to be off the mark as the Series 7 actually features more rounded corners that work together with the refractive edge on its screen to provide a seamless wraparound design. Furthermore, the bezels on the smartwatch’s display are 40% thinner than its predecessor and this resulted in almost 20% more screen area when compared to the previously released Series 6 model or more than 50% difference if you take the Series 3 into account....

The new legislation will introduce a complaints mechanism that allows users to lodge a report if they think they have been defamed, bullied, or attacked on social media. The mechanism will allow complainants to request for the content to be taken down, and if the offending user fails to do so, a court process could force the social media company to provide details of the commenter to aid the defamation case....

Bang & Olufsen claims that the Beoplay HX can last for 35 hours with ANC turned on, and 40 hours without. Which is pretty impressive, to say the least. And when it runs out, you charge it with a USB-C cable. The wireless connection is done over Bluetooth 5.1 with support for aptX Adaptive, AAC and SBC codecs. But when you prefer a more conventional connection, it not only has a 3....

Call Of Duty Modern Warfare Ii To Release On 28 October

The trailer itself seems to exude some sort of fetishising of cargo ships and cargo bays, probably to play into the pun of the game shipping on its release date of 28 October. Either way, using those elements, as well as a few cargo containers, the trailer reveals that characters from the previous game will be making a return. There will also be a new character going by the name of Alejandro Vargas, which is pretty similar to a minor villain back in the original Modern Warfare 2....

Captain Marvel S Gemma Chan To Play A Completely Different Character In The Eternals

Variety reports that Gemma Chan is currently in talks to join The Eternals. Interestingly enough, Variety also reports that Chan may not be reprising her role as Minn-Erva, but rather play a completely different character altogether. If this turns out to be true, it would be one of the rare occasions where an actor portrays two different characters within the same cinematic universe. Of course, if we take Marvel’s television series into account, things are a little bit different....

The completed model is a near perfect replica of the DW-5600, sans the functional buttons and watchface – but you could actually fasten the strap if you wanted to....

Caviar Golden Rock Playstation 5 Is Made From 20Kg Of Gold

Announced alongside the gold-laden AirPods Max, the company has implemented custom texturised faceplates on the PS5 that were apparently inspired by the outlines of rocks. In typical Caviar’s fashion, what made the Golden Rock PS5 rather outrageous is the fact that the faceplates were made from 20kg of 750/18K gold which roughly costs around RM 3.66 million*. That amount alone would get you 1590 units of the standard PS5 or 1956 units if you prefer the Digital Edition model....
