This month has been filled with conflicting rumors of an Apple product launch that either will or won’t happen, but Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman now says the October event is on, and it could bring a long overdue iMac upgrade. In the Power On newsletter, Gurman reports that sources close to Apple said a Mac launch is in the works for this month. Based on current retail supplies and shipping dates for certain models, Gurman suggests we could see a new iMac and possibly some new MacBook Pros.“Apple retail stores are in short supply of the iMac, as well as the…

Meta’s Quest 3 has now been available for over a week, and the reviews have largely praised the updated consumer mixed reality headset. In my own first impressions, I shared how it managed to convince me to give the category a second look — many years after I’d all but given up on VR as something worthwhile beyond a sporadic novelty. Now, after a few days living with and using the Quest 3 myself, I think even my initial positive reaction was underselling just how much Meta has accomplished with this new headset. Most of my time spent with the…
Right from the beginning of this year, animation fans have been treated to some animated projects that are an absolute feast for the eyes. Puss in Boots, to Across the Spider-Verse, to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, we’ve had some back to back bangers that really feel like they’re pushing the medium forward.

As is typically the case, a new, unannounced phone has made its way to the TENAA certification website prior to an official announcement and unveiling. This time, it’s the Oppo PJB110, which some have speculated could be the model number for the Oppo A2 5G. The certification authority lists some specs for the upcoming device. It measures 165.6 x 76 x 7.9mm and tips the scale at 193 grams. That’s fairly light for a huge 6.72-inch FHD+ LCD panel device. Presumably, the phone is made of plastic. Oppo A2 Pro We don’t have any specifics regarding the chipset…
After Apple discontinued its Music Memos app favored by musicians for developing song ideas, a new startup called Tape It stepped in to fill the void with an app that leveraged AI to automatically detect the instrument and annotate the recording. Now that startup is taking the next step in its journey to improve the audio-recording process with the introduction of an automatic, studio quality noise reduction algorithm, also powered by AI, that works on any audio — not just speech. The AI denoiser shipped this week as a free web app, with a plan to license the technology to…
VC investment in Canadian cleantech jumped 63 percent in 2022 despite a tough economy. In the past few years, pandemic lockdowns, geopolitical strife, and the Russia-Ukraine war have put a strain on critical supply chains for the energy industry, notes Export Development Canada (EDC) in its latest annual cleantech report. Rising energy costs as a result of these conditions and the aggressive climate policies rolled out in response to them helped make 2022 “a landmark year” for cleantech, reports EDC. “Boosting Canadian competitiveness … means addressing the ‘startup to scaleup support gap.’” According to the Canadian Venture Capital and Private…
