tech news comes in a wide variety of colors and flavors today it's white and
strawberry i like strawberry but i never order it more of a chocolaty nutty guy
oh chromebooks aren't real laptops you say
they can't even run steam games you persist is anyone even saying that
second one well they definitely might not be in the future as steem might be
coming to chromebook you see Android police's david ruddick interviewed
director of product management for chrome os canlu at ces last week who
implied that google was working directly with valve to release a version of steam
for chrome os now this probably wouldn't be that big of a stretch to implement
since there's already a steam client for Linux which chrome os is based on of
course chromebooks would not be to put it kindly the most powerful of gaming
laptops but they could probably run the thousands of indie low spec games
available on steam steam on chrome os hasn't been confirmed so i wouldn't get
your usb sticks and a knot just yet i thought you could say stiff
and no it probably can't run crysis so don't even ask
smart glasses have been struggling to will themselves into existence since
google glass launched back in 2014 with
companies like north picking up the torch but a startup called mojo may have
just leapfrogged the whole concept with the mojo lens an augmented reality
contact lens the company used micro leds
which you know i love which we saw at ces particularly me to create an
incredibly dense micro display powered by a single core ARM based processor a
tiny solid-state battery and an image processor of course you need all those
all embedded inside a contact lens f a
few journalists were actually able to try it out and apparently
it works wow one demo involves firefighters being able to see each
other through walls okay
which is crazy because usually you can't even see in a burning building when
there's no walls because it's smoky i know what that's like
while the mojo lens is only really able to display single lines of monochromatic
light it could do more to bring ar into the mainstream than bulky weird looking
glasses right but isn't showing off new tech while looking like an utterly
hopeless dork kind of half the fun yeah
i'm gonna wear these contact lenses with my google glass oh no don't do it it's
too powerful and microsoft has already pledged to become carbon neutral but now
they're up in the ante the company says they're not even gonna have a shadow
just kidding they set a goal to be carbon negative by 2030 including all
carbon emitted by the company and its supply chain since its founding in 1975.
what so that means redmond will aim to remove
all the carbon from the atmosphere that the company has ever produced so first
off good for you microsoft james likes this an admirable goal second though how
the f another f how the heck are you gonna do that well the company is
looking at projects like seeding new forests and putting carbon back into the
ground sucking it out of the atmosphere with large fans way bigger than me
and i'm a big microsoft fan i'm on fire today
and preventing new emissions by capturing carbon before it escapes
they've also started a 1 billion fund for developing carbon reduction and
removal technology and i'm assuming that time machine research has to be in there
somewhere we have to go back
what about all the carbon that i produce by using microsoft stuff are they not
accounting for that i'm the consumer i bought it

quick we got bits coming in microsoft has finally launched xbox
console streaming on Android phones it's just a preview program right now but if
you join the xbox insider program have a phone with Android 6.0 or higher and a
bluetooth xbox controller you can try it out yes you i don't know how this is
going to help microsoft go carbon negative but okay do your part this week
saw a bunch of game delay announcements including do maternal the resident evil
3 remake square enix's avengers game and the iron man vr game and even the ultra
hype cyberpunk 2077.
but if you think these delays help developers avoid crunch jason schreier
is here to tell you that they don't in fact they make it worse so maybe
reconsider that tweet of you telling your favorite dev to hurry up and
release their game on the contrary play through your ridiculous steam back
catalog while you wait i don't really get what i just said but all right if
you see what looks like a spacex launch going horribly wrong this saturday don't
worry it's all part of the plan like
elon's spin is boundless the company is testing its emergency launch abort
sequence for its crew dragon module which will hopefully carry real crew
members who don't explode later this year stadia will be bundled with
broadband service from uk internet service provider bt with customers
receiving a stadia controller chromecast ultra and three months of stadia pro i
don't think this is much of a bonus for bt customers as is a bonus for google
who will hopefully be getting some more players on stadia
there's no one on there remember when we were hyped for that it was exciting a
couple more years and medical startup nanox has introduced the ark a
futuristic looking boat that will fit every man woman child and animal on it
oh wait hold on a second no it's something else a futuristic-looking x-ray scanner a
fraction of the size of existing devices it might also be more affordable as the
company is considering charging subscription fees for ai powered anal
analysis analysis you know
big brain stuff and maintenance rather than a single hefty price tag we might
not have the tricorder just yet but man this thing is a decent constellation ah
i'm a shameful shameful nerd which is why there's no more tech news left for
me to give which would you want it anyway yes you would come back on monday
i'll be refreshed so o'reilly ltgstore.com
why not
