Currently being shown off at CES, the Heatbox is a crowdfunded lunchbox. Yes, really. And, much like the ill-fated Juicero, it tackles a very specific problem — one that you probably don’t really need solved. You see, the Heatbox — as the name suggests — heats up your lunch. Without recourse to microwaves or ovens.
CES is a time for strange tech to stand proudly next to its more boring rectangular counterparts. Which may explain one of Samsung’s weirder introductions. The company used CES 2020 to unveil Ballie, a little robotic assistant that looks exactly how you’d expect it to. That is, like a Sphero Bolt with a camera in its mug. Just don’t kick ’em, please Ballie is a robotic assistant of sorts — it’s designed to follow you around your home and do all sorts of interesting things. Thing like turning on TVs, opening blinds, adjusting temperatures in the home — generally the…
So you think you’ve seen lazy, have you? Well, 2020’s going to prove you wrong. Even though we really, really wish it wouldn’t. Segway, the company that made the product of the same name, has something new coming: the S-Pod. Wait, what? The Segway S-Pod’s title doesn’t do much to explain what the tech actually is. Sadly, a quick glance at the so-called ‘vehicle’ makes its purpose clear. It’s a consumer-focused chair that also doubles as a self-balancing mode of transport. Well that’s… certainly… novel. To be (a little) fair to this product, the S-Pod’s stated purpose is to help…
2019 is drawing to a close and that means there’s another decade about to end. Depending on who you ask. Let’s not go there, we’ve had that argument once already in the Stuff offices. So, for the purposes of not arguing, there’s another decade about to end. Which is a perfect time to look back at all the things that made it a decade. In tech, anyway.
Facebook-owned Oculus has rolled out some new features for Facebook on the VR platform. The catch? By using them, you’re agreeing that your (first-party, Facebook says) VR usage will be subject to Facebook scrutiny.
We were expecting, back in 2015 with the announcement of the Resident Evil 2 remake, that Resident Evil 3 (the best Resident Evil) would be on the list of coming titles soon enough. Well, guess what? That four year old blind guess was on the ball. S.T.A.R.S. in his eyes https://twitter.com/RE_Games/status/1204406678373814274 Following all sorts of rumours last week, Capcom has made our dreams/nightmares come true by confirming that Resi 3 will be hitting consoles (the PS4 and the Xbox One) as well as PCs from 3 April next year. The publisher did this via the Resident Evil Twitter account (see…
Usually this time of the year there’s a whole lot of nothing going on, news-wise. 2019 may be something a little different. Samsung’s reported to be planning a new product announcement for yet more members of the S10 family this December. Yup, if you haven’t already jumped on the Galaxy S10 or Galaxy Note 10 train in 2019, there’s a chance it’s coming around again. Only this time, there will be a pair of Lite variants pulling the coaches. Samsung is said to be announcing a Galaxy Note 10 Lite and a Galaxy S10 Lite before year’s end and, well……
South Africa’s data prices have been found to be excessively high by the country’s Competition Commission. The short version of the Commission’s announcement, made earlier today, is that mobile service providers MTN and Vodacom have two months to drop pricing to a more appropriate level.

Users have been able to biometrically secure Facebook’s WhatApp messaging service for some time now, though it’s only recently that the feature has been available across the mobile ecosystem. Just Apple doesn’t count.
