Apple will reveal its new iPhones on September 12th

Reports have long suggested that Apple has been working on a trio of new iPhones for 2018, and now we know when we'll actually get to see them. The company just sent out invites for an event on September 12 at its massive spaceship of a campus in Cupertino -- one year to the day from last year's event, no less -- and one thing is already clear. It's going to be a very busy morning.

Chaser.

iPhone XS, Apple Watch Series 4 images leak out

Another image showed off what appears to be the Apple Watch Series 4 with an edge-to-edge display and redesigned watch face with space for up to eight complications.

Lenovo's new Yoga Book replaces the keyboard with an e-ink screen

This new Yoga Book C930 replaces last year’s touch-sensitive panel with an e-ink display. While it can pretend to be a keyboard, it can also serve as a sketch pad or even a low-power e-reader.

The weird, wild and expensive world of blockchain art

You'd be forgiven for thinking that this crypto madness ended when the bitcoin price plummeted more than 70 percent this year, but it's not that simple. The Hyperion card and the Elon Musk "Crypto Celebrity" are both examples of a type of product we'll call digital assets. Popular assets run the gamut from cards to memes to artwork, but far more complex things are possible with smart contracts, such as music and movie files hosted on blockchain and even full-on operating systems -- the latter being mostly theoretical right now or in early test stages.
