Fly faster, cheaper, and cleaner with Zunum Aero electric planes

Why it matters to you

If cheaper flights with less travel time and lower emissions are appealing, stay tuned.

How does 40 percent shorter door-to-door air travel time at 80 percent cheaper fares sound to you? What if you could throw in 80 percent lower emissions? The promises of economy, efficiency, and environmental responsibility are the three pillars of Zunum Aero‘s business model, Venture Beat reports.

Kirkland, Washington-based Zunum Aero plans to use 10-to-50 seat aircraft for regional flights for trips up to 700 miles. The company intends to begin flights early in the next decade.

By flying in and out of the vastly underused 97 percent of the 13,500 U.S. airports, Zunum passenger waiting times will be minimized and the company’s operating costs will be much lower than conventional planes at large airports. Those two factors alone could result in big wins for Zunum travelers. Boarding a Zunum plane relatively close to home should be about as easy and quick as boarding a bus at a bus station. When the company saves on operating expense, it can charge lower fares.

The cool tech part of Zunum Aero’s story is the aircraft itself. The company does not plan to use existing equipment. Instead, Zunum is developing hybrid electric planes. Zunum has been helping establish electric aircraft certification standards with the Federal Aviation Authority since 2014. This is also a good time to mention that Boeing is one of Zunum Aero’s investors, along with JetBlue Technology ventures, a subsidiary of JetBlue Airways.

“Boeing is investing in Zunum because we feel its technology development is leading this emerging and exciting hybrid-electric market space,” Boeing VP of strategy Steve Nordlund said. “This technology and customer approach has the potential to transform the market for small, short-haul aircraft that can use smaller regional airports.”

Zunum co-founder and CEO Ashish Kumar explained in a company statement that the large aircraft used by major airlines have opened the market service opportunity his company intends to fill.

“The shift of the industry to large aircraft and long ranges driven by gas turbines has concentrated almost all air traffic to just two percent of our airports, creating a massive transport gap over regional distances where there is no high-speed alternative,” Kumar said. “As a result, door-to-door times for most journeys are no better than they were 50 years ago. Hybrid propulsion is an industry-changing solution, enabling mid-sized aircraft on regional routes to have better cost efficiencies than airliners.”

In addition to lower emissions and less noise in flight and during takeoffs and landings, electric-hybrid aircraft won’t have long waits for fuel trucks to arrive and laboriously pump thousands of gallons of jet fuel. A fast battery recharge or swap, reset the GPS flight path, and you’re ready to go again. Zunum says its hybrids will “sip fuel only when they have to.” As battery technologies progress, the company looks forward to the day when battery power alone will be sufficient.

Astell & Kern XB10 Bluetooth review

Research Center:
Astell & Kern XB10 Bluetooth

As more mobile device manufacturers mull over ditching headphone jacks entirely, fans of high-quality sound find them selves increasingly in need of ways to keep using their favorite pair of wired headphones. That’s where high-end audio company Astell & Kern’s XB10 comes in.

The portable headphone amp and digital-to-analog converter (DAC) connects any Bluetooth-enabled smartphone, tablet, or computer to wired headphones using high quality components as well as advanced digital technologies like aptX HD, designed to reproduce sound comparable to hi-res quality with compatible devices. In other words, this little puck is ready to play with the big boys, and it’s got the performance chops to prove it.

Light, beautifully designed, and capable of gorgeous mobile sound, the XB10 is the best portable Bluetooth-to-headphone interface we’ve heard.

Out of the box

The XB10 comes packaged in a small cylindrical box, packing a black micro USB cable for charging, and a comically tiny manual (seriously, the thing is the size of a box of matches with ant-sized print).

Bill Roberson/Digital Trends

In the bottom of the box, there’s a small clip that can be attached to the back of the device and hooked to shirts, jean pockets, or anywhere else you want it to hang while listening on the go.

Features and design

At the exterior, the XB10’s futuristic dimensions looks something like an air hockey puck as envisioned by Michael Bay. The beveled edge along its equator is offset by jagged edges in a cross shape along the top – an Astell & Kern signature that can be found on many of the company’s other audio products.

Once you start listening through the XB10, you won’t want to go back to your phone alone.

But even with that flashy design cue, the XB10 is small and discrete, so much so that we often feared we’d lose track of it in a deep backpack pocket. It’s also extremely light, but the hard plastic does feel very sturdy and could almost pass as aluminum if it had been made to look brushed.

In keeping with the tenets of good design, the jagged edges that cross the XB10’s top are also functional, separating four rocker-switches including volume up and down buttons on the right side, and Bluetooth pairing and play/pause buttons on the left. Relegated to the side bevel are a song skip button, a micro USB charging port, a small LED to indicate power and pairing, and a small pinhole microphone for phone calls. Also at the side are two audio outputs, including a balanced 2.5mm port and unbalanced 3.5mm port. A locking on/off switch completes the setup.

Bill Roberson/Digital Trends

One quibble to note about the controls: While the rocker switches on top offer easy access, they’re easy to bump on the fly. Luckily, the lock switch shuts down all the controls, so you’ll either want to use that, or utilize the included clip when out and about. It took us awhile to figure that one out, actually, due to the ridiculously tiny manual

In fact, our only real gripe is battery life: Astell & Kern only equipped the XB10 with enough juice to last about 5 hours. While we rarely listen to more than 5 hours of music at a time on the go, the device needs a recharge fairly often. It makes sense given how small the unit is, but we actually wouldn’t mind a slightly larger profile if it meant getting a few more hours of listening time for long flights or road trips.

Setup

Pairing with the XB10 is extremely easy. Simply turn on the device and press the pairing button, at which point the LED on the side will begin flashing. From there, just look for the XB10 in your device’s Bluetooth menu and select it. Once done, the unit quickly reconnects to previously-paired devices upon power-up.

Audio performance

Our audio performance section comes with a simple warning: Once you start listening to music through the XB10, you won’t want to go back to your phone on its own – be it wired or wireless connection. The XB10 improves the overall sound quality of every musical genre significantly when compared to the paltry components in the vast majority of flagship phones (iPhone definitely included).

More: The best portable battery chargers

The ramp up in clarity over virtually any standard smartphone is considerable, but it’s only enhanced when listening through an aptX-enabled device like the Moto X Pure Edition (Apple products do not currently support aptX). In addition, the XB10 improves the depth of the soundstage and the focus of the instrumentation, with each instrument in each song occupying a more specific location in the mix.

Astell & Kern’s XB10 headphone amp/DAC takes your audio quality to the next level.

The expansive stereo mixes on Elton John’s Captain Fantastic And The Brown Dirt Cowboy, for example, were vastly improved when heard through the XB10 versus our phone alone — via Bluetooth or 3.5mm connection. Hard-panned (far left and far right) hand drums and percussion lean wide on the far edges of the mix, but remain clear and punchy, and Elton’s voice gains a warmer tone that makes each lyric pop.

Bass tones are also better separated from the rest of the sound profile with the XB10, with the sub-bass response on Run The Jewels’ Talk To Me sounding warmer and more rounded, without ever overpowering the other musical elements.

Heck, even simple two-track recordings like Jeff Buckley’s classic version of Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah impress with newfound definition, showcasing a brighter touch to the guitar’s upper strings and the same focused mid-range push in the vocals we heard when listening to Elton John. The added shimmer in the treble and warmth in the midrange are especially apparent at high volumes, but low-volume listeners will still hear noticeable improvement in sound quality.

Speaking of which, volume will also never be an issue. Output through the 3.5mm unbalanced output is equivalent to even the loudest built-in DACs on most smartphones, and the XB10 puts out even more signal when using the 2.5mm balanced output. In terms of distance, the advertised 33 feet of wireless range was right on the money, allowing us a solid amount of mobility.

Our Take

While any number of Bluetooth receivers can connect your wired headphones to your phone over Bluetooth, Astell & Kern’s XB10 headphone amp/DAC takes your audio quality to the next level. If you own (or want to own) the latest iPhone, and sound quality is paramount, the XB10 is easily the best-sounding way to cut the cord of your go-to cans. And while it’s designed with jack-less phones in mind, the XB10 provides an impressive amount of audio definition to any Bluetooth-enabled source device

$8

The XB10 is a niche device, as most wireless headphone adapters out there are designed with functionality and volume level in mind, rather than sound quality. That said, if the XB10’s $180 retail price is too much to swallow, Creative’s SoundBlaster E3 and Audio Technica’s PHA50 are the closest you’ll find on the market in terms of features and quality, available for about half the cost.

How long will it last?

Astell & Kern has a solid history as a manufacturer of high-quality audio devices, and though it’s made of plastic rather than aluminum, we see no reason the XB10 should be an exception. Provided it is treated properly, the device should be able to withstand several years of heavy use.

Should you buy it?

Yes. If you’re a lover of high-quality audio and own an iPhone 7 or other jack-free audio device — or if you simply want the freedom of movement that Bluetooth provides — the XB10 is the best way to make your wired headphones wireless.

Mellow smartens up sous vide with app control and it begins shipping in May

Why it matters to you

This is no sous vide machine that clips onto the side of your pot — rather, this is a kitchen appliance you will want to do all your cooking in.

It’s been two years since we first told you about the sous vide startup Mellow, and in that time, there has been plenty brewing in the smart kitchen world. Indeed, Mellow has its work cut out when it comes to differentiating itself from other sous vide machines, like those from Delta and Anova, but that seems like a challenge the company is ready to take on. Especially now that the Mellow, which is actually a hybrid appliance featuring nifty bonuses like built-in refrigeration and a scale, is finally ready to ship in May.

Creators Zé Pinto Ferreira and Catarina Violante of FNV Labs, the brains behind Mellow, knocked it out of the park in the design department. We’re getting some serious Dieter Rams vibes from this thing. The machine looks like an odd hybrid of a Braun SK 4 and a Brita filter pitcher, but instead of playing music or making your tap water taste better, it prepares perfectly cooked food at the touch of a button.

Additionally, unlike some of the more popular immersion circulators on the market right now, Mellow is not designed to be clipped, clamped, or otherwise affixed to the side of a pot. Instead, it comes with its own built-in water tank, so it just sits on your countertop, coaxing you in with its sleek exterior and inviting you to use it more often.

But Mellow’s beauty isn’t only skin-deep. Under the hood, it has some pretty stellar features, including Wi-Fi connectivity. Mellow can connect to your home network, allowing you to control everything from cook time to temperature using your smartphone, tablet, or computer.

In addition to a precise heating element that allows it to heat the tank and cook your food to perfection, Mellow is also equipped with a cooling unit. That might not sound like a big deal at first, but it’s a complete game changer for sous vide. The addition of refrigeration allows you to place your unprepared food inside Mellow during the day, and leave it there until you want to cook it. Since you can control the device via Wi-Fi, you can drop food in it before you leave for work, and then use the app and arrange to have your meal finish cooking around the time you get home. This helps to solve the time problem of the sous vide cooking process, which often takes two hours or more.

More: You’ll soon be able to control your sous vide machine with your voice

While Ferreira has since left Mellow, the company is still moving full steam ahead, with veteran employee Gary Itenson (previously the company COO and now its new CEO), telling The Spoon, “[Mellow’s] ship date starts in May and by mid-to-late June, customers will be able to purchase a Mellow unit from stock via our website. Pre-order pricing will be ending soon and going forward we expect $499 to be our target retail price.”

Ingenious new service thwarts ISP snooping by allowing any site to join the Tor network

Why it matters to you

Tor is a great tool if you’re looking for extra privacy for a website. This hosting company lets any site have a presence on the network.

Given the way that it’s frequently grouped in with the dark web, the Silk Road and Bitcoin, you could be forgiven for steering clear of Tor — or even thinking there’s something faintly sinister about it — if you’re a tech newbie.

Short for “The Onion Router,” Tor is free software designed to enable anonymous communication online. It works using a series of relays in what’s referred to as a “meshnet,” with as many as 50 different locations around the world forming links in an encryption chain before any information is ultimately passed from sender to receiver.

Far from being the scary stuff of a House of Cards subplot (okay, so it’s that as well!), Tor is an invaluable tool if you’re looking to provide extra privacy for people that visit your site, additional confidence that the site they’re visiting is yours, or a guarantee that access to your site cannot be blocked by an ISP, company, or state.

Starting this week, a hosting company in the U.K. is now offering a unique service that allows any website to have a presence on the Tor network, without requiring expensive redevelopment to do so.

More: Tor, what you need to know and how it protects your privacy

“A number of companies have existing websites that they would like to add to the Tor network,” Dan Benton, the owner of Dogsbody Technology, told Digital Trends. “While the technology allows sites to ‘plug-in’ to the Tor network easily, site owners are left having to make expensive changes to their sites so that they don’t leak information in a way that would normally be fine on a public network, but doesn’t work on the Tor network. Our offering is effectively a proxy between the public web and Tor network, locked down and specifically built for the sites that want or need it. This is something that hasn’t existed until now.”

Benton said that Facebook proved that it’s good business to host your site on Tor, having launched their own Tor service in 2014. Three years later, they’re reporting huge numbers of visitors per month to their site’s Onion address. During that time, Benton has seen the number of requests for similar services from other companies and website owners skyrocket.

“Particularly of note are support organizations that want to enable victims of abuse to access help and support without the risk of discovery or persecution,” he continued. “Other groups are making their sites available via Tor to build trust with their communities, and protect users who want to reach out to and learn about services without fear of ISP or government monitoring.”

NASA prepares the Cassini spacecraft for its daring final Saturn mission

Why it matters to you

In Cassini’s final months, NASA hopes the spacecraft will offer new insight into the solar system and and Saturn’s origins.

It’s been nearly two decades since the Cassini-Hyugens spacecraft launched from Earth toward Saturn, entering the ringed planet’s orbit on July 1, 2004. The Huygens lander separated on Christmas Day to dive into Saturn’s atmosphere, leaving Cassini to study the Saturn system alone.

But now Cassini is running out of fuel and NASA is preparing for its grand finale — a series of dives through the 1,500 gap between Saturn and its rings.

“No spacecraft has ever gone through the unique region that we’ll attempt to boldly cross 22 times,” Thomas Zurbuchen, associate administrator for the Science Mission Directorate at NASA, said in a press release. “What we learn from Cassini’s daring final orbits will further our understanding of how giant planets, and planetary systems everywhere, form and evolve. This is truly discovery in action to the very end.”

The first of Cassini’s dives will take place on April 26. This maneuver will be followed by 21 more flybys over the next five months, before the spacecraft heads straight for Saturn itself, plunging to destruction on September 15. The suicide mission was chosen to avoid biologically contaminating Saturn’s moons, at least one of which is potentially habitable.

“This planned conclusion for Cassini’s journey was far and away the preferred choice for the mission’s scientists,” said Linda Spilker, Cassini project scientist. “Cassini will make some of its most extraordinary observations at the end of its long life.”

During the dives, scientists hope Cassini will capture more information about the Saturn system, from the planet’s internal structure to the origins of its rings. The spacecraft is expected to take the first sample of Saturn’s atmosphere and the nearest view of the planet’s clouds and inner rings.

“Cassini’s grand finale is so much more than a final plunge,” Spilker added. “It’s a thrilling final chapter for our intrepid spacecraft, and so scientifically rich that it was the clear and obvious choice for how to end the mission.”

Antigena cybersecurity AI learns your system so it knows when something’s up

Why it matters to you

Security system that look at past attacks to help deal with future ones are deeply flawed. Here’s an alternative approach that uses the latest machine learning tech.

It’s no secret that there’s a constant game of cat and mouse playing out between hackers and security experts, with both sides working their hardest to stay ahead of the other. While hackers and assorted cyberattackers are always on the lookout for new vulnerabilities to exploit, however, unfortunately security systems can be a bit backwards looking in their approach — relying on digging back in the archives to try and see how future hacks may play out.

That’s what Antigena, a machine learning security system developed by British cybersecurity startup DarkTrace is trying to change.

“Digital defenses are often based on the idea that if we could just understand yesterday’s attacks then we’ll be able to stop them when they get repeated,” Dave Palmer, DarkTrace’s director of technology, told Digital Trends. “That makes a bit of sense because it’s useful to have protection that knows what went wrong in the past. But it doesn’t do you any good at all if you’re faced with a type of attack you haven’t seen enough examples of to reverse-engineer a solution. That’s a problem when you look at the massive number of indiscriminate, wide-scale attacks which are launched every single day, looking for any kind of foothold they could get. We wanted to do something about that.”

More: Analysis of internet-connected devices reveals millions are vulnerable to attack

Antigena’s “digital antibodies,” on the other hand, use the latest machine learning technology to work out when an attack is taking place — even if it’s unlike any attack that’s happened before. They then warn their operators so something can be proactively done about it.

Palmer compares an obvious threat like ransomware (“which, from a mathematical perspective, looks like a bomb going off in your network”) to a cleverer cyberattack willing to bide its time by acting subtle. This might mean doing a bit of reconnaissance one day, and then a week later trying a set of passwords it’s learned on a different server. Such a strategy may fool a system designed to look for ransomware, but won’t stump Antigena.

“The aim is to know your system well enough that, if something strange happens, we can detect it because of its strangeness — not because we’re looking out for well understood, previously seen attack techniques,” he said.

Such a tool makes Antigena a valuable tool not just for the big banks and hedge funds which use it, but also smaller, more bespoke businesses without a track record of being hacked.

“I’m absolutely fascinated by security systems for places like chocolate factories,” Palmer said. “They often have completely bespoke infrastructures, industrial environments, and production systems. In those cases there’s no real concept of being able to use rule-and-signature-based security, because there are no rules and signatures for what an attack on a chocolate factory might look like. As a result, they’re much more open to using machine learning technologies to investigate strange goings-on.”

Motorola’s next flagship will be called the Moto Z2

When? We don’t know. All we have to go off of is a brief tweet.

It’s about that time of year again, where every Android phone maker has either already shown off their flagship smartphone for the year or is in the process of prepping it for launch. According to a tweet from notorious smartphone leaker, Evan Blass of Venturebeat, Motorola is next on the list with the follow-up to last year’s modular Moto Z.

So, like, this is happening. pic.twitter.com/mwyEPAbCXq

— Evan Blass (@evleaks) April 5, 2017

The second-generation Moto Z2 will be modular, just like its predecessor. We saw a tease of a what’s to come at the company’s MWC press conference earlier this year. Sprint was also using it to show off its upcoming Gigabit LTE service, which is interesting considering Verizon’s history of shackling the Motorola brand. And while we don’t have details about what’s inside the purported Moto Z2 just yet, we can surmise there’s a Snapdragon 835 on the inside by the sheer fact it supports Gigabit LTE.

Motorola — nay, Lenovo — is wholly committed to the Moto Mods and the smartphones that support them. But it’s likely we won’t hear too much more on the company’s next flagship until the next Lenovo technology summit rolls around, which is where the Moto Z was originally introduced.
