 | It's Tuesday, November 13, 2018. Hey, good morning! You look fabulous.  The lines between reality and fantasy are blurring in odd ways this morning, whether it’s due to superhero-like stunts inspired by characters from the mind of Stan Lee (RIP) and Marvel, or a Roger Rabbit-like new trailer for Detective Pikachu. (View in browser.) ‘Loft: The Jetman Story’  Autonomous. Jetpack. Flight. Jetman Yves Rossy and his two protégés (Fred Fugen and Vince Reffet) show off some incredible stunts in a trailer for their upcoming documentary about developing the personal flying machines. | | Bezos is coming. The announcement could be official by the time you read this, but word from the Wall Street Journal says Amazon will announce its plans for a “second headquarters” as soon as today. Previously rumors have pointed to Long Island and northern Virginia as the choices after a process that has stretched out for over a year, but there may be other cities with “major” sites as well. | | Just 200 bucks.  Microsoft made the first move, revealing a week-long $400 Xbox One X sale ahead of Black Friday. Now Sony’s own offers are out there: 200 bucks for a PS4 with Spider-Man packed-in. A polite reminder: Black Friday isn’t for another few weeks. | | Sponsored Content by Salesforce Essentials | | A new report suggests it will debut in March.  So how much will the (possible) future of smartphone design cost you? According to Korean news agency Yonhap, it could be over $1,700. Yikes. Its sources believe the phone could eventually land just after the Galaxy S10 is officially unveiled, and could go by the moniker Galaxy F or Galaxy X. F for folding, X for expensive? | | The system has huge potential, but Canon needs a better camera for it.  The EOS R, Canon’s first full-frame mirrorless camera, heralds an all-new lens-mount system. While it’s loaded with potential to produce beautiful sharp images and video, the camera itself is a bit disappointing. Yes, you can definitely take fabulous photos with it, but 4K video is crippled by a 1.8x crop, 30 fps max shooting speed and bad rolling shutter.
On top of that, it lacks in-body stabilization, putting it at a disadvantage against rival cameras. According to Steve Dent, it’s not a bad first effort, but at this price, and at this point, Canon must up its game for the next model. | | It’s okay to be creeped out.  We finally get our first look at the Ryan Reynolds-helmed live-action Pokémon movie, and Pikachu the detective, brought to life. A furry electric mouse might look like nightmare fuel to some, but the movie looks like it will pack in plenty of fan favorites when it launches next year. | | But wait, there's more... | | | |
