Jabra Elite 65t wireless earphones Review 2018

Jabra Elite 65t wireless earphones Review 2018 Nearly a year ago, we reviewed the Jabra Elite Sport, the longtime wireless audio maker's first venture into the true wireless space. You could say that they were ambitious with their approach, considering the earbuds attempted to appeal to both music and fitness enthusiasts. Unfortunately, it didn't help either that the Elite Sport were slapped with a $250 price tag, making them one of the more expensive mainstream options at the time. During CES 2018 early last month, Jabra introduced two new truly wireless headphones – the Jabra Elite 65t and the Elite Active 65t. Naturally, this strategy is a departure from the company's previous efforts, as it now tries to cater to the two opposing demographics with dedicated products. The Elite 65t, in particular, is marketed as "being engineered for the best true wireless calls and music experience." That's yet again a bold claim, so we'll find out how it stacks...

Apple devices are butt dialing 911 from its refurbishing facility 2018

Apple devices are butt dialing 911 from its refurbishing facility 2018 Since October, emergency responders in Elk Grove and Sacramento County, California have received over 1,600 false alarm 911 calls coming from an Apple repair and refurbishing site in the area. It’s not clear if the calls are coming from Apple’s iPhones or Watches but each time a call originates out of the Elk Grove facility, there’s no one on the other end of the line and it’s gumming up the emergency response system in the area, draining resources and possibly slowing down response teams in actual emergencies. “The times when it’s greatly impacting us is when we have other emergencies happening and we may have a dispatcher on another 911 call that may have to put that call on hold to triage the incoming call,” police dispatcher Jamie Hudson told Sacramento CBS Local News, which first reported these incidents. The Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department says it has also received these false calls, telling...

Foldable Surface Phone from Microsoft look like thanks to this concept 2018

Foldable Surface Phone from Microsoft look like thanks to this concept 2018 Microsoft is bringing something big into their hands , as the patent that was granted last week in the United States has shown. This patent had already emerged at the end of October of this year, where its resemblance reminded us of that mythical Microsoft Courier , which never saw the light. Now we have new clues that in Redmond are working on a device that is known under the code name of ‘Andromeda’ , which could be the rumored and expected Surface Phone. And now, thanks to designer David Breyer, we can have a clearer look at what this device would look like if it were real. Microsoft Andromeda David Breyer decided to get down to work and carefully read the Microsoft patent as well as the schematics and details, this with the aim of making a 3D recreation of the device and so we can understand a little what they are doing in Redmond. The first rumors, the new patent and the examples shown with the Courier sho...
