Instead, it's more in line with the dual-display systems Intel was pushing at Computex and ASUS's Project Precog from last year. It's clear that plenty of PC makers…

First of all, the camera itself is physically different from last year's version. Most notably, the Hero 8 now has the mounting fingers built in (meaning, the "pins" that slide into the top of a pole). This means you'll no longer need a "frame" mount to connect it to accessories.

America’s newest airline will never cram you into a too-tight seat. It won’t charge too much money for too-terrible food. It won’t strand you on the tarmac without explanation. Actually, it won’t carry you anywhere at all—but it might someday carry your stuff. Today, UPS announced that its drone service is the first of its…

Near the end of the teaser for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, there’s something very interesting—towering chunks of a Death Star, rising like mountains from a blustery sea. Oh, there's no doubt.
