Typing, swiping, and tapping are so old school. Microsoft’s Surface Dial introduced a new way to interact with applications. Dell’s Canvas works with an optional dial accessory too.

Age increased across the board, in different races, education levels, and regions.

Just like moms, American dads are getting older, according to a new study. Sadly, there’s no data suggesting their jokes are getting funnier, though.
Between 1972 and 2015, the mean age of US fathers crept up 3.5 years, from 27.4 to 30.9. The percentage of dads in their 40s more than doubled, from 4.1 to 8.9 percent. Likewise, fathers 50 and above jumped from 0.5 to 0.9 percent. And the uptick in graying pops appeared across all races, education levels, and regions.
The study, led by Stanford researchers and published this week in Human Reproduction, offers the most extensive look at paternal data yet, harvesting dad data from nearly 169 million birth records over the four decades. And the researcher's finding of across-the-board aging papas is a mixed bag, they write.

AMD’s first Threadripper processor went on sale earlier this month, and now the chip maker is rounding out the lineup with its most affordable Threadripper chip… while making the case that it’s still a pretty big upgrade over the Ryzen 7 1800X processor that launched earlier this year.

Es war kaum mehr als eine Randbemerkung, doch mit HDR10+ geht es ein bisschen voran. Ab 2018 wird lizenziert. Wann die ersten High-Dynamic-Range-Filme in dem Format kommen, bleibt aber unklar. Dolby Vision geht es aber auch nicht viel besser. (Ifa 201…
3D scanning tech does little to save Sony’s phones from a drab design and $700 price.
Continuing Sony's baffling strategy of producing new smartphones every six months, Sony has launched the Xperia XZ1 and Xperia XZ1 Compact. While technically positioned under the Xperia XZ Premium, both phones feature high-end specs including the same Snapdragon 835 SoC, staid design, and unique—if questionably useful—imaging features. Unfortunately, Sony hasn't budged much on price: the Xperia XZ1 costs $700, just $100 less the the Z1 Premium. Both phones launch in September.
For that money you get 5.2-inch 1080p screen with support for HDR content covered in Gorilla Glass 5, IP68 water and dust-resistance, and Android 8.0 Oreo from the off. The smaller XZ1 Compact features a non-HDR 4.6-inch 720p screen, and swaps out the metal body for a glass fibre reinforced with plastic. The Xperia XZ1 comes in four colours: Moonlit Blue, Venus Pink, Warm Silver and Black. The XZ1 Compact comes in Black, White Silver, Horizon Blue and Twilight Pink.

LG has unveiled the LG V30, an Android smartphone that—unlike its predecessor the V20—is pleasingly gimmick-free. Headline features include the now mandatory high screen-to-body ratio, dual-camera system, and a slick design.
About that OLED screen, then: it's a beauty. Measuring six-inches across at an 18:9 aspect ratio (the same size as the Samsung Galaxy S8) with a 2880x1440 pixel resolution, it features slim top and bottom bezels, and mere slivers of bezel around the edges. Thanks to a less aggressive curve where the screen meets the glass back than on the Galaxy S8, the V30 doesn't quite pull off the same floating display trick.
