Google’s DeepMind AI will take on a Go champ tomorrow night

Google’s DeepMind AI is already the first computerized system to best a champion Go player, and you can watch its next big game in less than 24 hours. The AlphaGo program will take on Lee Se-dol in the first match (of a planned five game series) at the Four Seasons hotel in Seoul, Korea tomorrow, at 1PM local time (10:30PM ET). The match will be broadcast live on YouTube, and you can find the stream right here.

Mega press conference, apparently the biggest one in Google history! Great that @ericschmidt could join us. #AlphaGo pic.twitter.com/WN90ORmnF6

If you prefer a 24/7-style run up to the bout, there’s video online describing the development of AlphaGo and also of its victory over 3-time European champ Fan Hui. Lee is one of the top ranked players in the world, and has said he expects to win 5 – 0, or perhaps 4 – 1. At stake is a $1 million prize, which AlphaGo will donate to charity if it wins. The game is expected to take 4 – 5 hours, so you should still be able to tune in even if you’re not on at exactly 10:30.

The Edge Desk transforms so you can get work done anywhere

Who still uses a desk? Better question: Who still needs a desk, given that so much of our work today takes place on laptops, phones and tablets? Those devices don’t need to be put on a flat surface, so a lot of people don’t bother. Instead, they work from the comfort of a couch, bed or maybe even the floor. And yet, many still insist on keeping a desk around “just in case.” We’ve come to accept that a desk is something you should have, even if you don’t actually use it.

This struck Edge Desk founder Marc Rosenberg as ridiculous when he visited his daughter’s college dorm room. The small amount of space afforded the two women was taken up by their beds, dressers and two desks, which were being used for storage — not for work. When questioned about their habits, the women said they usually work from their beds or the floor. They didn’t need the desks, and in that area they needed … pretty much anything else. So Rosenberg started thinking of a way to give them back that space but still allow them to have a surface to work on when needed. Thus, the Edge Desk was born, making its debut on Kickstarter today for $349.

You might remember how kneeling desk chairs were all the rage some years back — you know, the ones that didn’t have a back and forced you to sit in such a way that was supposedly great for your posture while still being pretty comfortable. At least, that’s what I was constantly told by a college friend who had one. I’d sat in his and found it to be pleasant but was never fully sold on getting one for myself.

So at first glance the Edge Desk was familiar: It’s basically a kneeling chair with a desk attached. That sort of makes sense in a way, as a kneeling chair is smaller than a typical office chair, so why not a smaller desk for it? A smaller foldable desk. There’s still plenty of room for other things on its surface besides a laptop: a notebook for writing or maybe a textbook. Technically you could fit a cup of coffee or other beverage, but that’s a bit of a risky proposition. However, the Edge Desk has a solution for that, revealed right there in its name.

Along the, uh, edges of the Edge Desk is a groove where users can snap in accessories, and they go way beyond a simple cup holder. There are shelves for your phone and tablet, a paper tray and even a lamp. Rosenberg told us one girl his team surveyed asked for a makeup mirror. While I didn’t see most of these accessories in action, the process for getting them in and out of the groove is easy, and they appear to be secure enough to endure the occasional jostle.

Part of the folding-up process is turning the desk surface into portrait mode, which led to the Edge Desk team discovering that it also makes a great easel. I’d agree this could be great for artists: I have comic-creator friends who do a lot of work on the road, and something like this could be easily set up behind their artist-alley booth at conventions and then folded up and stored in a car trunk at the end of the show.

However, with the Edge Desk weighing over 20 pounds, it’s not something you’d want to carry around a convention, on campus or to the office. You could, and maybe some will. I personally found it cumbersome to pick up and carry under my arm. My artist friends weren’t enamored with the idea of lugging it everywhere either. But merely sliding it out from under a bed, unfolding it and getting work done in a couple of minutes? I can deal with that.

The accessories are all specifically designed to collapse flat, which is important, given that the point of the Edge Desk is to save space. It’s not just smaller than a traditional chair-and-desk setup. It folds up and can completely disappear under a bed or into a closet, which should work great for dorm rooms, studio apartments or creating a temporary office workspace.

But will I use it? While the Edge Desk team surveyed over 1,000 college students and found them highly receptive to the desk, my college days are long behind me. I found sitting in it comfortable, but I had trouble getting in and out of it due to my bad knees. And ultimately, while I’ve worked from my couch and even on floors, when I need to get down to business I use a desk — both at Engadget headquarters and at home.

It’s not just about having a comfortable seat and a flat surface to work on: My desk needs to be substantial enough to support a 24-inch monitor. And that barely scrapes the surface for a lot of people who rely on their desk to support an assortment of monitors, external hard drives or speakers. The workplace might be going mobile, but many people aren’t completely free of the need for a home base of sorts. There’s a lot I can do on my laptop, but I admit I also have a soft spot for having a place to call my own.

Call me old if you want. That’s fine. There are plenty of people who like having a large mahogany desk to show off and impress visitors. A fancy desk can be a conversation starter. Sure, the Edge Desk can inspire plenty of conversations on its own, but ultimately it wants you to sit down and get to work.

If that’s the sort of aesthetic that appeals to you, the Edge Desk’s Kickstarter starts today, running through April 22. Early birds can get it pretty cheap at $249, while late backers will have to pay $349. The Edge Desk is set to arrive in October of this year — just in time for midterms.

How to quickly steam fresh vegetables in the microwave – CNET

Taylor Martin/CNET

It should come as no surprise that you can steam vegetables in the microwave.

Virtually every grocery store has an entire frozen vegetables section, many of which can be steamed right in the bag. Toss the bag in the microwave, set the cook time to match your microwave’s wattage and wait.

However, if you only have fresh vegetables in your kitchen, you can steam them just as quickly and easily with a microwave and a little cling wrap.

Start by preparing the vegetables. Give them a good rinse and cut away any trimmings. Next, chop the vegetables into bite-size pieces and add them to a microwave safe bowl. Stretch a piece of cling wrap over the top of the bowl very tightly.

The time needed to fully steam the vegetables depends on two things: the power of your microwave and the type of vegetable.

At home, in my 1,000-watt microwave, steaming one large, chopped broccoli crown took around 1 minute and 30 seconds to fully steam. Grant Crilly of ChefSteps tells Tested that vegetables like carrots won’t take as long as broccoli. But you will have to play with times to figure out which work best in your microwave for different vegetables.

Taylor Martin/CNET

Set your microwave to full power and pop the bowl of vegetables in or one minute. If they aren’t fully steamed, continue microwaving them in 30 second increments.

Remove the bowl from the microwave, season to taste and enjoy!

This method of steaming vegetables is efficient for essentially all types of vegetables. The microwave exploits the existing water content of the vegetables to quickly steam them. It also makes cleanup a breeze. If you and your significant other can’t agree on which steamed vegetable to cook for dinner, you can each have the one you want with minimal effort and cleanup.

Galaxy S7 Edge Unboxing and First 48 Hours

One of the highlights of last month’s Mobile World Congress was undoubtedly Samsung’s introduction of the new Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge, and just a few weeks later, the new flagships are now starting to hit the shelves. With a few welcome improvements and refinements over last year’s handsets, there’s a lot to like but after 48 hours with the Galaxy S7 Edge, what do we think of Samsung’s latest offering? Let’s jump in and find out, shall we?

The first thing you’ll notice when you receive your new handset is the black box, which looks similar to previous boxes and has the name of the phone you’ve ordered embossed on the front. Inside the box, you’ll find the standard contents you’d expect, including a microUSB cable, wall charger and Samsung’s new headphones, while on the back, Samsung has listed the key specs of the phone.

What are the key specs of the Galaxy S7 Edge we hear you ask? Here’s a few of the main specs and you can see all of them over on our Galaxy S7 Edge product page.

• Display: 5.5-inch dual curved Quad HD Super AMOLED display
• CPU: Quad-core Snapdragon 820 (US/China) or octa-core Exynos 8890 (EU/Asia)
• Memory: 4GB RAM, 32GB/64GB ROM and microSD expansion (up to 200GB)
• Camera: 12MP, f/1.7 aperture, phase detection auto-focus, OIS, 1.4µm pixel size
• Battery: 3600mAh non-removable battery, Quick Charge 2.0 (60% in 30 mins)
• Software: Android 6.0 Marshmallow, TouchWiz UX, Always on display, Edge UX

That’s the specs on paper but what about the actual phone in person? While Samsung’s dual curved design certainly isn’t new, the company has made considerable strides in the past year towards perfecting the experience. Rather than redesign the handset – like it did from the Galaxy S5 to the Galaxy S6 – the Korean OEM has refined the experience and added a few changes to make the Galaxy S7 Edge even better than its predecessors.

One of the biggest complaints with the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge was the sharp in-hand feel and Samsung has sought to fix this by including a curved back, which first debuted with the Galaxy Note 5. The tapered edges at the side of the back panel are certainly not a game changer but do make the handset more ergonomically friendly and complement the design of the Galaxy S7 Edge rather well. Like last year, the glass backing is definitely a huge fingerprint magnet, which is somewhat disappointing but a small price to pay for the overall look and feel, which is absolutely amazing.

  Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge First…

The improved in-hand experience is definitely welcome as the Galaxy S7 Edge combines both the Galaxy S6 Edge and Galaxy S6 Edge+ into a smartphone that’s the perfect size. I personally like the increased screen real estate, but despite the bigger screen, the Galaxy S7 Edge is still relatively thin and extremely comfortable to hold in the hand.

The screen resolution hasn’t changed from the Quad HD panel used in the Galaxy S6 Edge last year and everything still looks super sharp and crisp. Everything from web browsing, videos, music and games have all looked absolutely fantastic, and the display in general has been a total pleasure to use.

It’s safe to say that Samsung makes some of the best smartphone displays on the market and this beautifully curved AMOLED display is certainly quite the looker.

The Galaxy S7 Edge shows that Samsung has been able to refine the experience of last year’s flagships by listening to consumer feedback and bringing back some features that were missing from last year’s handsets. One of these is the microSD card expansion, which allows you to expand the 32GB or 64GB internal storage by up to 200GB, and while Samsung isn’t offering a 128GB model, there’s definitely enough storage available for most users.

Another new feature is a big improvement over the Galaxy S6 line-up as Samsung has been able to re-introduce IP68 water and dust resistance that was left out of last year’s handsets. Unlike the Galaxy S5 – the last mainstream Galaxy flagship to sport rugged protection – however, it’s all sealed from the inside meaning there’s no annoying flaps that can get in the way or get broken. As you’ll see in the video, the Galaxy S7 Edge can survive the occasional spill, a dunk in the toilet or even being submerged for up to 1 metre for up to 30 minutes.

By far the most important improvement addresses one of the major concerns of last year’s flagships: the battery life. Last year, the Galaxy S6 Edge had a 2600mAh battery that almost always failed to last a whole day, while the Galaxy S6 Edge+ sported a 3000mAh battery, both of which were non-removable.

While Samsung has still kept the battery sealed and non-removable, the company has included an extremely large 3600mAh unit that is 38% larger than the Galaxy S6 Edge and in the first two days, we’ve had no problems lasting an entire day. In fact, on day one, we managed to achieve 5 hours’ screen on time, which is nothing short of incredible.

On paper, the camera seems to have taken a dip with a drop from 16MP last year to 12MP but in actual usage, things like the actual sensor and the image algorithms are far more important. Samsung has taken inspiration from the Nexus 6P and included less megapixels, but with larger pixels, which improves low light photos. Coupled with the f/1.7 aperture, Optical Image Stabilisation and extremely fast phase detection auto focus, there’s no denying that the Galaxy S7 Edge has a great camera for any lighting condition.

Samsung Galaxy S7/Edge vs Nexus 6P quick look93

The performance of the Galaxy S7 Edge so far is about what you could expect from a Snapdragon 820 powered smartphone which, coupled with 4GB RAM, provides a fast and snappy experience. That being said, there is the occasional lag that’s typical of Samsung smartphones and while it’s not a deal-breaker by any means, it does lack the fluidity of stock Android.

On the software side, Samsung has certainly made a lot of improvements, not least to the Edge UX that takes advantage of the Edge’s curved front glass panel. In the video below, you can see all the new features that the Edge UX has to offer including the improvements on last year and the new features that have debuted this year.

While I’m not entirely sold on the usefulness of the Edge features, at the bare minimum, they are a great way of storing apps, contacts and other bits of useful information, which can all be accessed at the swipe of a finger without cluttering up your home screens.

New to the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge this year is the Always On display, which can show you useful information without draining the battery, as it takes advantage of the AMOLED display by only lighting up the individual pixels it needs. Right now, it’s very limited in functionality, which probably explains why it’s disabled by default and it can only show you the clock, calendar or a static image.

I do like the calendar and it’s the option I’ve used the most, but it would be nice to see Samsung expand upon this feature in a future software update to make it a lot more robust. Overall, there’s no denying that Samsung has definitely made some big improvements with the Galaxy S7 Edge, and while we’re reserving final judgement for the full review – which is going to be in-depth and should be out within a week or so – the Galaxy S7 Edge certainly has me impressed so far.

Samsung Galaxy S7 vs LG G5 hands on comparison165

What do you think of the Galaxy S7 Edge and do you plan to buy one? Do you prefer the Galaxy S7 without the curved edges or even something like the LG G5? Let us know your views in the comments below guys and stay tuned for our full Galaxy S7 Edge review!

Galaxy S7? Turns out that not everyone wants one, and that’s okay

In last week’s poll we asked whether you were pre-ordering up a Samsung Galaxy S7. It’s Samsung’s newest flagship phone, so it’s no wonder that people all over the place are making grabby hands at it. That’s why we wanted to know whether this phone was one that you, the reader, needed in your possession.

Surprisingly, a whopping 41 percent of you said that you aren’t planning to pick up a Galaxy S7. 28 percent of you have pre-ordered the Galaxy S7 edge, with another 15 percent waiting to see the reviews. In fourth place with only 11 percent of the vote are those who have pre-ordered a Galaxy S7. Looks like only 4 percent are planning on picking it up on release day, though. So while 41 percent of you aren’t picking one up, another 43 percent will be grabbing either the Galaxy S7 or the Galaxy S7 edge.

Are you waiting for a different phone to become available, or are you eagerly awaiting the arrival of your Samsung Galaxy S7? Let us know about it in the comments!

LG announces Stylus 2 launch plans for Korean market

LG has announced its launch plans for the LG Stylus 2 for the Korean market. As the followup to 2015’s G4 Stylus, the Stylus 2 will be available from Korean carriers in the coming weeks for a price of 396,000 Korean Won (around $330). As far as colors are concerned, it looks like customers will have a choice between titanium, brown or white.

To recap, the LG Stylus 2 is firmly in the budget realm, packing a large 5.7-inch display running at a comparatively low 1280 x 720 resolution. The phone also packs 1.5GB of RAM and 16GB of storage, expandable via microSD. Of course, the draw of the Stylus 2 is its namesake — the included stylus and the features that come along with it. Users can access unique shortcuts when the stylus is removed, and the Stylus 2 will also help you keep from losing the stylus by sending notifications if it detects the phone is in motion while the stylus is removed.

It’s unclear when or if we may see the Stylus 2 hit markets outside of Korea, but we’d expect LG to be announcing further launch markets soon if so.

DraftKings and FanDuel are legal in Virginia

Virginia’s General Assembly recently sent the Fantasy Sports Act to governor Terry McAuliffe, and now that he’s signed, it is the first state with daily fantasy law on the books. Highlights of the bill include a $50,000 registration fee for companies like DraftKings and FanDuel and age restrictions on players (you must be 18, much like gambling). Oh, and in a nod to the mess that put the industry in the spotlight: employees and their relatives can’t play in any contests. What’s more, site operators need to keep player and operational funds separate in addition to keeping data secure.

DraftKings itself offered a statement thanking the governor, calling the bill “thoughtful and appropriate” in terms of protecting the rights of players. He has good reason to be glad: this marks the first state that’s out and out recognized daily fantasy play as a legal activity.

The company recently said it’d fight the Texas ruling that paid sports betting is illegal in Texas as well, while FanDuel conceded to stop taking paid bets in the Lone Star State altogether.

Comcast buys a sports tech company to boost your set-top box

In case you had any doubts that Comcast is serious about improving your sports-watching experience, the cable giant is making its efforts abundantly clear. It just acquired OneTwoSee, a Philadelphia-area sports tech startup that has played a big role in the interactive sports TV upgrades for Comcast’s X1 set-top box over the past year. No, Comcast isn’t tipping its hand just yet, but it’s reasonable to presume that real-time stats and other sports-related perks will become that much more central in the living room going forward. And no, OneTwoSee won’t ditch efforts on other platforms — you can still expect it to bring its technology to smartphones (not to mention other companies) in the future.

Tim Cook, Tech CEOs and Top Republicans Attend Secretive Meeting About Donald Trump

Tim Cook attended American Enterprise Institute’s annual World Forum this past weekend in Georgia alongside Google CEO Larry Page, Tesla CEO Elon Musk, and other tech leaders, according to a new report from The Huffington Post. Top Republican officials, including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConell, Speaker of the House Paul Ryan and Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton also attended, with the main topic of conversation revolving around Republican Presidential Candidate Donald Trump.

Bill Kristol, editor of The Weekly Standard and political commentator, wrote in an emailed report that much of the conference was haunted by “the specter of Donald Trump,” with many attendees unhappy about his emergence and discussing how he gained his support.

“The key task now, to once again paraphrase Karl Marx, is less to understand Trump than to stop him,” Kristol wrote. “In general, there’s a little too much hand-wringing, brow-furrowing, and fatalism out there and not quite enough resolving to save the party from nominating or the country electing someone who simply shouldn’t be president.”

Some sources familiar with the meetings told The Huffington Post that the meeting centered more around how and why Trump has attracted support rather than how to stop him. The meeting included a presentation by Republican political consultant Karl Rove about focus group findings on Trump.

While Trump took up much of the conversation, the discussion eventually turned to encryption. Cook and Cotton “fiercely debated” cell phone encryption, and one source tells The Huffington Post that “Cotton was pretty harsh on Cook.” Cotton’s aggressiveness was reportedly hostile enough to make other attendees uncomfortable.

Since Apple and the FBI began their duel over encryption, Trump has criticized the company for its decision to oppose a court order to unlock the San Bernardino shooter’s iPhone. The Presidential candidate has said that Apple should unlock the phone and called for a boycott on Apple products until the company complies, despite using an iPhone to tweet.

Note: Due to the political nature of the discussion regarding this topic, the discussion thread is located in our Politics, Religion, Social Issues forum. All forum members and site visitors are welcome to read and follow the thread, but posting is limited to forum members with at least 100 posts.

What’s on your HDTV: ‘The Division,’ ‘Carmichael Show’

We’re only a week into the Ultra HD Blu-ray era and we already have our first day-and-date release, as The Peanuts Movie is coming home in 4K. Still, my nostalgia is piqued by the release of *batteries not included on Blu-ray for the first time, while Tom Clancy’s The Division highlights this week’s videogame releases along with a new Hitman.

This week Netflix premieres two new series, as The Characters allows comedians to feature themselves for one episode only, and Will Arnett steps out from the shadow of Bojack in Flaked. Amazon also has a streaming premiere with season two of Bosch, and The Carmichael Show is back for another run on NBC. Still, the guilty pleasure add this week goes to Howard the Duck or Xanadu on Blu-ray.
