Google’s new Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro promise to be impressive phones that could rival Apple’s iPhone 14 and Samsung’s Galaxy S22, all while undercutting Apple and Samsung on price. Even with noteworthy software and camera features, Google made a particular point to emphasize this during Thursday’s Pixel event. The Pixel 7 starts at $599 (£599, AU$999) while the 7 Pro starts at $899 (£849, AU$1,299).

By contrast, the Samsung charges $799 for the S22 (or $1,200 for the S22 Ultra). Apple, henceforth, prices the iPhone 14 at $799 and the 14 Pro Max at $1,099. Unfortunately for Google, this price difference may not actually matter to the US audience where consumers still largely buy devices from wireless carriers.

When going this route, the price difference melts away as all three of the major providers offer a variety of trade-in and upgrade deals on iPhones, Galaxies, Pixels and other devices to both new and existing users. At Verizon, for example, depending on your plan and trade-in device (and your willingness to stay with the carrier for 36 months) you could get an iPhone 14 Pro or iPhone 14, Galaxy S22 or Galaxy S22 Plus for free. Devices like the iPhone 14 Pro Max, Galaxy S22 Ultra or Z Fold 4 could be had for up to $1,000 off. AT&T and T-Mobile regularly offer similar deals.

For the carriers, subsidizing the price of a device is a good way to lock users into 24- to 36-month financing plans

Medicine The Ever-Evolving Art and Science

| General Article

In the vast realm of human knowledge, few fields have seen as much evolution and transformation as medicine. From the ancient practices of herbal remedies to the cutting-edge technologies of today, medicine has continually adapted to meet the needs of humanity. It’s a journey of discovery, driven by an unyielding desire to understand the human body and its myriad complexities.

The history of medicine is a tapestry woven with countless threads, each representing a breakthrough or a pivotal moment. Ancient civilizations, such as the Egyptians, Greeks, and Chinese, laid the foundations with their early explorations into healing and health. The Hippocratic Oath, attributed to the Greek physician Hippocrates, remains a symbol of the ethical practice of medicine, emphasizing the importance of doing no harm.

As we moved through the ages, the Renaissance period heralded a new dawn for medicine. Anatomical studies, once shrouded in secrecy and taboo, began to flourish. Figures like Leonardo da Vinci meticulously documented the human form, providing invaluable insights that would shape the future of medical science. This era marked the beginning of a more empirical approach, where observation and experimentation became the cornerstones of medical advancement.

The 19th and 20th centuries were particularly transformative. The discovery of germs and the subsequent development of antibiotics revolutionized the way we understand and treat infections. The invention of the X-ray allowed us to peer inside the human body without making a single incision, forever changing diagnostics. As technology advanced, so did our capabilities. The advent of vaccines eradicated … Read More

Lenovo Chromebook Duet 3 review

| Computer, Computers

These days, I’ve been struggling to find a solid sub-$400 laptop to recommend to price-constrained shoppers that I actually find, well, usable. So I’ve been pinning a lot of my hope on Lenovo’s Chromebook Duet 3, a tiny 11-inch Chromebook with a detachable keyboard and a foldable kickstand. I was a huge fan of the original Duet that was released in 2020, a speedy 10.1-incher with exceptionally long battery life.

The model I have, with is $369 (the next most expensive option is $379 at Best Buy, with 128GB of storage — I’d probably go for that one for $10 extra). The water-resistant detachable keyboard is included in that low price. But sometimes, devices that look like great deals on paper turn out to suck when you actually turn them on.

So I used the Chromebook Duet 3 for a full day, morning to night. While not quite up to a full remote workload, it was a perfect device for leisure and entertainment. And while it’s not quite as high-tech as the larger OLED-equipped Duet 5, I think it’ll be a more practical buy for the student and casual-user category. I’d rather be on this than a cheap Windows laptop any day.

I first used the Duet 3 at my desk

Keanu Reeves Reveals His Dream Marvel Role

Keanu Reeves has played some iconic characters in his 58 years, including John Wick, Ted in the Bill & Ted movies and Neo in The Matrix films. But he has yet to play the role his kid self would like to see him tackle. In an interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Reeves revealed that role.

Reeves shared details of his comic-book-loving childhood with Kimmel, who asked which character a 10-year-old Keanu would want to play.

“10-year-old Reeves would want to … I think he’d probably want to be Ghost Rider,” the actor said.

Ghost Rider, aka Johnny Blaze, is a stunt motorcyclist with a flaming skull for a head and a flaming motorcycle. Nicolas Cage famously — or infamously, based on the mostly negative reviews — played him in a 2007 movie and 2012 sequels.

Linking Reeves and Ghost Rider is nothing new. In 2019, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige said the studio was talking to Reeves “for almost every film we make,” and fans were quick to suggest the motorcycle-loving Reeves play Ghost Rider.

There are no official plans for Reeves to star as Ghost Rider … yet. But he’s still getting some comic book action, as he’ll star in both a Netflix film and anime series based on the BRZRKR comic series he co-created. The character, who looks just like Reeves, is an immortal warrior who fights battles that are “too violent and dangerous” for anyone else.

Did Mark Zuckerberg’s little dance actually show us real metaverse legs?

| Computer, Computers

During Meta’s Connect conference on Tuesday, Mark Zuckerberg made a huge announcement: the avatars in the company’s Horizon VR app will be getting legs soon. To demonstrate this groundbreaking technical achievement, Zuckerberg’s digital avatar lifted each leg in the air, then did a jump, while Aigerim Shorman’s avatar kicked into the air.

It may have all been for show. According to UploadVR editor Ian Hamilton, an unnamed Meta spokesperson said that the “the segment featured animations created from motion capture,” meant to “enable this preview of what’s to come.” To me that reads like what we saw wasn’t actually a demo of what Horizon’s legs will look like, but rather an artist’s interpretation of what Horizon’s legs may end up looking like.

Okay, maybe that’s a bit dramatic. Because, really, this was easy to see coming. My co-worker Jay Peters even warned that the pre-recorded video wasn’t necessarily an accurate representation in his coverage of the announcement. Still, if Meta really is trying to say that its presentation didn’t feature any footage of what legs will actually look like as interpreted by your Quest headset, that’s slightly worrying. This feature is supposed to be coming soon, but we can’t see it yet? How am I supposed to know if I should spend $1,500 on a Quest Pro if I can’t be sure that it’ll let me have my virtual avatar jump up onto the boardroom table and do a dance during a virtual meeting?

I guess we’ll just
