Here’s how to watch Acer’s 2017 press conference

Why it matters to you

Acer’s about to reveal upcoming products at its biggest press conference of the year.

Acer’s big annual press conference is nearly upon us. The Taiwan-based computer brand’s Next@Acer event kicks off today, April 27, at 11 a.m. ET / 8 a.m. PT in New York, and we’ll be covering it live as it happens.

If you can’t be there, not to worry. Just like last year, Acer will stream the keynote presentation in its entirety to YouTube. Check out the video embed to start watching, or head on over to Acer’s official events page for more information.

Acer’s growing product portfolio includes laptops, desktops, monitors, tablets, smartphones, and smartwatches, so it’s a little tough to predict just what the company has in store. But if this year’s Consumer Electronics Show (CES) and Mobile World Congress (MWC) was any indication, the announcements will likely have something to do with gaming, affordable laptops, and virtual reality.

At CES back in January, Acer took the wraps off its Predator 21 X, a 21-inch curved-screen gaming laptop that cost a whopping $9,000. And later in the year at MWC, Acer demoed a Windows-based virtual reality headset.

Acer refreshed its affordable Chromebook line at an April event last year, and we expect it to do the same this time around. Chromebooks continue to sell like hotcakes, and Google recently brought Android apps to the ChromeOS platform. Needless to say, there’s plenty of ground to cover.

A new 2-in-1 convertible in the company’s Switch series is pretty much a shoe-in, which is good news — we were big fans of the last year’s Alpha 12, which boasted a $600 price tag and an innovative kick-stand design. Mainstream notebooks like the Aspire S 13 are likely to make an appearance, too.

We wouldn’t put it past Acer to launch a 360-degree camera. A number of its competitors, including Samsung, Huawei, LG, and ZTE, have VR-capable cameras of their own, and Acer might finally be tempted to follow suit — especially considering its VR headset is due out sometime this year.

Samsung Pay is now available in Sweden, UAE, Hong Kong, and Switzerland

Samsung Pay is now live in 16 markets around the world.

After landing in India last month, Samsung Pay is now heading to four new markets. The digital payments service is now available in Sweden and the United Arab Emirates — its first foray into the Nordics and the Middle East respectively — and has gone up for early access in Hong Kong and Switzerland.

In Sweden, Samsung Pay works with most credit and debit cards issued by Mastercard and Visa, along with Eurocard, SEB (Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken), Nordea, and Mastercard’s SAS-affiliated cards, with more banks set to be added to the list shortly. Customers using the Galaxy S8 and S8+, A5 2016, A5 2017, Galaxy S7, S7 edge, and the Gear S3 will be able to use Samsung Pay in the country.

As for the UAE, Samsung is tying up with ADCB (Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank), Emirates NBD, HSBC, Mashreq, NBAD, RAKBANK, and Standard Chartered. Compatible devices include the Galaxy A5 2016, A7 2017, the Galaxy A 2017 series (A3, A5, and A7), Galaxy Note 5, S6 edge+, S7, S7 edge, S8, and the Gear S3.

The expansion means that Samsung Pay is now available in 16 markets around the world. The advantage with Samsung’s digital payments service is that it works over NFC as well as MST, making it compatible with older card readers. Even if a retailer doesn’t have an NFC-enabled POS machine, you’ll be able to use Samsung Pay, giving the service a leg up over Android Pay.

Best apps and games for getting out and enjoying the outdoors

Just because you like being on your phone doesn’t mean you have to stay inside all the time.

Ahh, summer. For those of us who live in the North, it’s that brief couple of months where we can go outside and comfortably enjoy the outdoors. And yet, it’s still all too easy to stay inside, watch Netflix, and just lay about. Sometimes you need something to prod you up on your feet and set you off on a quick and fun adventure.

Whether you’re looking to set up your fitness game, or simply spend a bit more time outside enjoying that fresh air, these apps and games are worth checking out — and stackable! I don’t know about you, but the idea of playing Pokemon Go while outrunning zombies is pretty compelling…

c:geo

If you’ve never tried geocaching before, you’re sure to be surprised with just how many little treasure hunts are hidden in plain sight all around you! It’s a fun hobby that’s really taken off due to cellphone GPS making it easier than ever for the average person to check it out.

Once you’ve registered and configured the app, geocaching is a fun activity you can do at any time, wherever you are. Simply load up an app, use the map to target a nearby geocache, then head to that location and start searching! The geocache will be cleverly hidden in the area. Once you’ve found it you sign and date the included, re-hide the cache exactly how you found it, then share your experiences online.

There are several geocaching apps available for Android, but c:geo is your best bet. It’s an open source app that’s super easy to use for beginners and includes all the features you need to start hunting. It’s an unofficial client for Geocaching.com, one of the internet’s biggest communities for geocachers.

So what are you waiting for? Grab some friends and head out on your own geocaching adventure!

Zombies, Run!

Part fitness tracker, part audio drama, Zombies, Run! is the perfect app for those of us who really need to be motivated to keep running. Developed by Six to Start, this app has been around for quite some time, but it’s always a fun recommendation to throw out there for anyone looking to jumpstart (and maybe jump scare) a running routine. Simply load up the game on your phone, pop in your favorite workout headphones and head out on your adventure.

You fill the role of Runner 5, a survivor in an ongoing zombie apocalypse that must head out into the infected lands on missions to collect supplies and find new survivors. You’re able to listen to your own music for the stretches, with the story cutting in between songs. If you start slowing down, you may hear the living undead creeping closer — and it proves to be pretty motivating if you’re buying into the narrative. Of course, you don’t have to run. If you’d rather not have your evening jog or walk spoiled by a pack of audio zombies chasing you, you can turn the feature off.

The base app is free, but you can pay a monthly or yearly subscription to unlock all the missions and content at once. If you’ve never tried it before, it’s definitely worth checking out.

Download: Zombies, Run! (Free w/ optional subscription available)

The Walk: Fitness Tracker

If running from zombies is a bit too intense for you, Six to Start also has a step counter app that uses the same storytelling mechanic to tell a different story. Developed and based in the UK, you are the star of an audio drama that spans 500 miles of walking.

While Zombies, Run! plays like a horror movie, the story here is more like a political thriller movie: A bomb has exploded in Inverness Station and you’ve been given a package that just might save the world. You must keep walking to stay alive and deliver the package to the other side of the UK, dodging agents of evil as the story continues to unfolds as you walk.

There are 51 episodes to listen that total over 800 minutes of audio. The game will track your steps even when your phone is asleep also adapt to your individual fitness level, so that it never feels too easy or too challenging. It’s another interesting app that might give you more reason to get up and take a walk outside, which is always a good thing.

Clandestine Anomaly

Clandestine Anomaly is a pretty interesting game that turns your neighbourhood into a battleground between intergalactic rivals, with your smartphone supercharged with everything needed to keep the evil Leecher virus from taking over Earth.

One of the first thing you do in the game is outline the perimeter of the play area — about a square mile or so —and each new level pops up linked to a GPS location on a map. At its core, Clandestine Anomaly is a tower defence game where you use sensors to detect the Leecher
pathways back to their spawning portals. You’re able to play and destroy the oncoming waves from the comfort of your own home — but if you actually head to the area on the map where the battle is going down, you’re able to use augmented reality to launch devastating attacks and gain the upper hand. In later levels, you need to be there to have any chance of being successful.

It’s a really intriguing concept and while you only get four levels before you’re required to pay to unlock the full game, it’s worth giving it a shot if only for a cool look at how augmented reality can be incorporated into games.

Download: Clandestine Anomaly (Free w/ IAP to unlock full game)

Pokémon Go

A fairly obvious inclusion on this list. As we get closer to the one-year anniversary of the release of Pokémon Go, love it or hate it, it’s still going strong with millions of regular players enjoying regular global events as they work to fill their Pokedex with the recently added Gen 2 Pokémon.

As we head towards summer, Pokemon Go may have a resurgence as we all look for more reasons to go outside for a walk somewhere. If you’re thinking of getting back into the game or trying it for the first time, you might want to invest in Pokemon Go Plus, a Bluetooth accessory that lets you play the game throughout the day without using your smartphone. You can pick yours up at online retailers like Amazon or Best Buy.

Download: Pokemon Go (Free w/IAPs)

The ultimate outdoor challenge

If you’re down for a challenge dive into the maps in c:geo, plan a nice long route with several geocaches on the way, then head out while playing Zombies, Run! and Pokemon Go with the Pokémon Go Plus all at the same time. See how many geocaches you can find, Pokémon you can catch, and zombie hordes you can outrun simultaneously in an hour.

Google makes it easier for Indian users to get started with Maps

Google is making it easier for Indian customers to get started with Maps.

Google Maps users in India are getting a new home screen that will make it easier for them to get started with the service. The home screen will include a quick action bar at the bottom of the page that pulls up a direction pane with commonly used modes of transportation — driving, public transit, walking, and ride-sharing services. Users will also be able to switch between satellite imagery and real-time traffic info, and download a particular area for offline navigation.

Google is also optimizing Maps so that the data loads in the background, allowing those on spotty connections (a majority of the populace) to get access to directions faster. With the changes, Google is hoping that Maps is much more intuitive to use for Indian customers. Google Maps offers an incredible amount of features, and it can be daunting at first glance, especially for customers that are using the service for the first time.

India’s smartphone industry is set to grow exponentially in the coming years, with millions of customers set to make their way online. Google has invested significant resources in localizing its services for the 400 million customers that are already online, and the company has rolled out neural machine translation to nine Indian languages. The search giant is also integrating automatic translations into Chrome, and adding 11 new Indic languages to Gboard. Then there’s YouTube Go, a lightweight version of the streaming service that’s designed to work on 2G connections. With its efforts, Google is looking to target the next billion users, which it believes will come from the subcontinent.

Nova Launcher review: King of the mountain after all these years

Nova Launcher is a legacy launcher that runs like a modern marvel.

Nova Launcher has been around for a long time. How long? Well, Nova Launcher Prime, Nova’s premium upgrade, was one of the first paid apps I ever bought back in 2012 during Google Play’s 25-cent sale. A lot has changed in that time, and while trends in Android have come and gone, Nova Launcher has stayed one of its best launchers.

Here’s how Nova Launcher continues to win its place as the home screen of millions, and it starts with how Nova runs for the first time after installation.

If this isn’t your first device with Nova Launcher, it asks you if you want to restore a previous Nova backup file. Restoring a backup from local storage or the cloud, Nova skips the rest of the setup process by applying the settings you had in your backup. For users who bring launchers from one phone to another — or reinstall all their apps after factory resets — being able to restore your backup without going through the entire setup process first is a blessing, and one not many other launchers replicate right now.

If it’s your first time, Nova Launcher can be a little intimidating off the bat. Rather than being asked about wallpapers and what apps they want on their dock, Nova asks users how they want the very launcher to look: light or dark themes, material cards or Pixel-esque solid backgrounds, app drawer button or swipe to drawer. Nova tries to help ease users into the multitude of settings available to them by showcasing three easy-to-understand setting options and giving them a simple A/B choice.

Once you’ve picked these three settings, you’re taken to your new home screen, which is sparsely populated with Google apps. You can easily import your layout from your previous launcher to save the time and frustration of putting everything back where you want it. From here we have a few additional options, almost all of which live in Nova Settings.

I have spent years poking around Nova Settings while tweaking themes and testing new layouts, but even I have to admit, Nova Settings is a bit of a basket case. Just as Nova Launcher has remained largely the same launcher with a few more new styles and features added in over the years, Nova Settings has kept nearly the same format for the last five years, just expanding with the addition of more and more features.

It’s got everything but the kitchen sink, and it’s easy for settings — and users — to get lost in it. That said, there are quite a few gems hiding in these settings are it’s worth familiarizing yourself with, including Nova Launcher’s biggest ace in the hole: subgrid positioning, which is quite well hidden in the Desktop grid settings.

Not too small, not too big, it’s just right.

Subgrid positioning allows you to place app shortcuts and widgets between the normal grid spaces on your desktop. If a 5×1 widget looks too small and 5×2 is too big, you can use subgrid positioning to resize your widget to 5×1.5, which makes your home screens more flexible and can help you get everything in just the right place.

Gesture shortcuts — assigning tasks to actions like swipes and double-taps — may not seem all that hidden considering they get their own folder in the main Nova Settings screen, but keep in mind those are only half the gesture controls that you can assign in the launcher. Every app shortcut on your home screens can also have a swipe gesture added to them — and every folder can, too!

Speaking of folders, I know that Action Launcher’s Covers are the bee’s knees when it comes to folder features, opening your folder with a swipe and open the first app with a tap. Well, I’m here to tell you that not only can Nova play that tune, it can play it better. If you want to turn a regular folder into a “Covers” folder, you can edit the folder and tap Swipe to open. Nova will automatically change the folder icon and tap action to the first app in the folder.

But what if you want to tap to open the folder and swipe to open the first app inside? Instead of tapping Swipe to open folder, tap the Swipe action and select the first item in folder. What if you want to swipe to open the folder, but don’t want the first app icon as the folder icon? No problem there either. In the folder’s edit window, tap the icon to change it to whatever icon you want. We’ve got all the Covers functionality — and more — just without a cutesy name.

I know Nova Launcher gets pegged as a theming launcher — and we’ve used it for a lot of themes over the last few years, but Nova is for more than themers. It’s for users who know how they want their launcher to look and use the same layout on device after device using Nova backups. It’s for users who want the option to make their phone look like a Pixel or like a Samsung Galaxy S8. It’s for users who want their phone to look how they want, from the most basic layouts to the most minute details.

It’s for users like you. And me.

Have you used Nova Launcher for what feels like forever? What keeps you coming back between your affairs with other launchers? What gems have you discovered and treasured in Nova Settings? Share with us in the comments.

Samsung Chromebook Plus vs. Pro: The differences, and which should you buy?

Samsung’s 2017 Chromebook lineup offers something for everyone with two equally great models.

Samsung introduced a pair of great Chromebooks with the unveiling of the Pro and the Plus. In addition of the Chrome OS features we’ve been using like built-in security and the best web browsing experience you can get anywhere, Samsung and Google have introduced pressure sensitive drawing using a familiar Samsung Pen. And everything is wrapped up in an awesome package no matter which model you choose.

Most of us won’t be buying both models, so the natural questions are what’s the difference between them and which one should I buy? We’re going to have a look and help you get the right answers.

Chromebook Plus at Amazon

Beautiful and light

That’s going to be your first thought no matter which model you are looking at. Both models are built the same using identical parts — on the outside.

The screen is the best we’ve seen on a Chromebook.

Checking in at just 0.5 inches thick and 2.38 pounds, these 12.3-inch laptops use the same Samsung design language as their high-end Windows counterparts. Built with a brushed magnesium-alloy body paired with a 2400 x 1600 LED display, both models are not only good looking, but sturdy and great for carrying all day long. We especially loved the bright and crisp display.

The keyboard and trackpad aren’t the best we’ve used but they’re not bad, either. The omission of backlighting was a bit disappointing, but in the end, we were more than satisfied with both keyboard and trackpad even if we couldn’t give either the level of praise we have for the screen or the materials used.

The screen rotates and flips to turn the Chromebook into a large tablet, and also allows for a “tent” or “easel” configuration to stand the screen without the keyboard area extending. This is a great way to watch a video or full-length film on the display.

The spotlight feature of both devices is Samsung’s S Pen. We’ll see stylus input in future Chromebooks, but Google partnering with Samsung to build the first models was the smart move. The Pen is the same S Pen you’ll find for Note phones and tablets, and Chrome has been tailored to make the stylus an excellent tool for annotating screenshots, taking notes and drawing. The Samsung Chromebook folded into a 12-inch tablet makes for a great canvas for any digital artist.

We give both models high marks on looks, durability, function, and ease of use. These are great laptops.

Where to buy the Samsung Chromebook Pro and Plus

What’s inside

Here is where you’ll find the differences between the Plus and the Pro. Both come with the same 4GB of RAM and 32GB of storage configuration, but the processor arrangement and electronics for wireless radios define the price points.

With most things being equal between the two, the processor and extra horsepower that comes with the Pro is the only real hardware difference.

The Pro’s Intel CPU offers more power if you need more power. Most won’t.

On paper, it makes quite the difference. The Intel m3 in the Pro has the potential to render web pages twice as fast as the Plus’ ARM chip. You’ll find plenty of Octane browser benchmarks that show this in a convenient number. In real-world use, the Pro model will let you keep more browser tabs or apps running before things start to slow down. Benchmark differences in rendering web pages may be significant, but you have to factor in that the ARM CPU in the Plus model is plenty fast enough and you won’t see any actual difference when rendering a single web page or opening an app.

The Pro is clearly a more powerful machine on the hardware front, and we shouldn’t dismiss that. But the Plus offers a more than satisfactory experience for the majority of Chrome users.

Software differences

Both models have essentially the same software with Chrome OS being universal across most every Chromebook. The one difference may be a deciding factor — Android apps through the Google Play Store.

There will be Android apps that don’t perform as well on the Pro because of the CPU architecture.

The Play Store will be available for both models, and the majority of apps you can use on a Chromebook will work well on either. But the Intel processor that give the Pro an edge in hardware also holds it back a bit when it comes to app compatibility and user experience.

This is mostly a function of Android itself and not a fault of the hardware. A developer can build a universal application for Android that runs using the same instructions on most any processor architecture. That means an Android app is the same on any device. But certain apps that use specialized code will be less than ideal on the Intel chip. Most notable are graphic intensive apps and games, and while most will install they just don’t run as well. Great developers will step in and rectify this by supporting the Intel CPU better, but Google Play’s relaxed nature means developers aren’t forced to do so.

Which should I buy?

Sometimes this is a difficult question to answer, but this is not one of those times. Most people are better served with the Chromebook Plus.

Most buyers are better served with the Chromebook Plus.

A Chromebook is best as a secure and fast computer built to bridge the gap between your phone and a desktop PC. Mobile apps through Google play round out the software needs and for all but the most demanding users, the $100 difference between the two isn’t worth the upgrade. If you rely on Android applications, right now the faster Intel chip is actually a weakness compared to the tried and true ARM configuration in the Plus.

For the power user: web developers or those looking for an alternative OS for their Chromebook, the Pro was made for you. The extra oomph from the Intel m3 CPU will make a difference and the Chromebook Pro is an excellent machine for developing and testing web applications. The extra money is well spent and you’ll have a more pleasant experience when you’re in the zone with 25 tabs and a text editor open.

It’s great to see two simple and great choices from Samsung in the high end, and anyone’s needs are well covered.

Note: The Chromebook Pro has been delayed past its initial release date of the end of April. We will update this post when we have links to purchase the laptop.

Video referees will be used at 2018 FIFA World Cup Finals

The 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia will be the first tournament to use video assistant referees, to make instant judgements on borderline calls.

FIFA president Gianni Infantino has confirmed that video refs will be used at the event after receiving excellent reports on their use: “We will use video refereeing because we’ve had nothing but positive feedback so far,” he said.

The world football organisation, along with the International Football Association Board, started testing the assistance of technology in order to aid on-pitch decisions in a number of countries last year. Trials were carried out in leagues around the globe, including the US, Germany and Australia. Clearly those have proven to work.

It was also used during the FIFA Club World Cup in Japan at the end of 2016. Again, the tests appear to have been successful.

A video assistant referee (VAR) will be able to help with incidents involving goals, red cards, mistaken identities and penalties. All other decisions will still be solely judged by the on-field refereeing team without interference.

It should help avoid instances like Frank Lampard’s disallowed goal for England against Germany in the 2010 World Cup. The ball was clearly over the line by a considerable distance but none of the pitch officials saw it.

The English FA has also approved the use of video refs, hoping to introduce it to the game in this country as soon as August. It is thought that the English Football League Cup will be the first tournament to have video assistants, with the FA Cup to follow.

Nintendo’s hardware visionary is calling it a day

Alongside today’s impressive earnings report, Nintendo announced that long-serving employee Genyo Takeda is stepping down as company director this June. Holding the title of representative director and also sitting alongside Miyamoto as “Technology Fellow”, Takeda has played a key role in defining both Nintendo’s hardware and software.

During his 46 year career at the Japanese games giant, Takeda produced and directed Nintendo classics like Punch-Out!! and Pilotwings 64 as well as designing the N64’s analog stick. As any gamer will know, this had a huge impact on the industry, with analog sticks becoming most console’s default input method ever since. Takeda had a knack for defining modern control methods for gaming, also leading the charge on arguably Nintendo’s biggest success — 2006’s Wii console.

While Takeda didn’t seem to play as large a role in the development of Nintendo’s latest hardware, his influence on the Switch can still be felt. Close friends with Nintendo’s late president, Satoru Iwata, Takeda shared his colleague’s vision for a hybrid platform.

It’s not clear currently whether Takeda is retiring completely or merely stepping down as director and playing a small role at Nintendo. Filling his role will be Ko Shiota, head of Nintendo’s Platform Technology Development Division and hardware lead on Wii U. Regardless of what Takeda does next, there’s no doubt that his work contributed to making millions of childhoods a better place.

Uber hopes to silence critics with more UK driver benefits

Uber has long argued that its drivers are independent contractors, not employees. While that distinction has been argued in the courts, the company has been upping driver perks to try to keep them on side and silence critics. Its latest effort in the UK is a partnership with the Association of Independent Professionals and the Self Employed (IPSE). For £2 per week, Uber drivers can sign up for IPSE benefits which include sickness and injury cover up to £2,000, jury cover up to £2,000, access to financial advice and support, and occupational accident cover up to £300.

Uber says it’s making “a significant contribution” to the scheme, and that the benefits are worth £8 per week. IPSE offers two plans for regular members in the UK — a standard membership for £154.73 (plus VAT) per year, and a premium “Plus” version for £247.65 (plus VAT) per year. The one offered to Uber drivers is “entirely different,” however, and therefore “you can’t compare them,” a spokesperson for IPSE told Engadget. The scheme will, however, be offered “more widely later in the year,” which could indicate how much money Uber is putting towards the initiative.

The IPSE partnership follows a flurry of Uber driver perks announced back in February. These include FlexPlay, which gives drivers the option to bank their earnings “early” in the week, earning advice sessions and a 12-month premium subscription to language learning app Busuu.

These additions have been overshadowed, however, by a deluge of controversies at the company. These include a messy legal dispute with Alphabet’s Waymo division, a long list of executive departures, the revelations around “Hell,” a program designed to track drivers who also work for Lyft, a crash involving one of its self-driving cars, a “Greyball” initiative designed to mislead law enforcement agencies — the list goes on and on. Luckily we’ve put together a timeline so you can keep track of it all.
