When it comes to home theater, video enthusiasts are usually divided into two camps: those who love their big TVs, and those who need their even bigger projectors. But while setting up a traditional long-throw projector is typically a time-consuming, inflexible affair, increasingly popular ultra-short-throw projectors seek to provide big screen sizes with ample placement flexibility. Optoma’s CinemaX P1 is the latest entry into the category, promising high-end 4K image quality from a relatively inconspicuous package that’s easy to move. First announced at CES earlier this year, the projector is available to pre-order now for $3,300 from Amazon and will begin…

Nintendo is teasing a new innovation for the Switch and it’s… kind of weird. It’s a bizarre rubber ring and the company won’t actually say what it’s for. So what exactly is this ring? Um… I don’t actually know. It appears to be made of rubber, given how enthusiastically the people in the video bend it. It also has slots along the side where you can fit Joy-Con. The video also shows users putting on some kind of leg band with another Joy-Con slotted into it. All we have to go on is the trailer, given I don’t think we’ve…

While waiting in line for the Huawei keynote at IFA 2019 in Berlin, there was an image of Albert Einstein and the misquote, “If the fact’s don’t fit the theory, change the facts.” Could this be a gentle dig at Ivanka Trump? The president’s daughter was famously mocked a few years ago for changing the facts herself. “Radio” by Rammstein was then played to an eager room of techies. Before introducing Huawei, CEO Richard Yu, the IFA Director Jens Heithecken, reminded the audience that IFA was born as a fair for broadcasting radios. Looking back, it’s easy to see how the struggle…

China‘s upcoming state-controlled digital currency is to be similar to Facebook‘s proposed coin, which makes total sense, because Libra isn’t really a cryptocurrency. Mu Changchun, deputy director of payments at China‘s central bank, explained the country was issuing its digital currency “to protect our monetary sovereignty and legal currency status,” Reuters reports. “We need to plan ahead for a rainy day,” Mu added. It’s likely these concerns reflect those of the European Central Bank. Earlier this week, a representative claimed that Facebook‘s Libra could undermine its power if it was readily adopted, as it could reduce overall demand for the Euro.…
