is released this spring. The company released the developer preview to

Intel Reports Progress on Patch-Related Performance Issues

Intel appears to have encountered some daylight in its struggle to fix
performance issues related to the Meltdown and Spectre vulnerabilities.
The company has identified the root cause on its older Broadwell and
Haswell platforms, according to Navin Shenoy, general manager of Intel's
data center group. Intel has begun rolling out a solution to its
industry partners for testing, Shenoy said.

Apple's HomePod Set to Barge Into Hot Speaker Market

HomePod, Apple's long-awaited entry into the torrid smart speaker
market, will be available Feb. 9. The HomePod will be offered in white
and space gray. It can be pre-ordered at Apple's website for $349

music services out of the gate, HomePod will support the Apple Music
subscription service exclusively.

The Morning After: Burger King's net neutrality ad

Engadget Email Newsletter

It's Thursday, January 25, 2018.

Hey, good morning! You look fabulous.

We’re a step closer to a version of iOS that tells you when your battery is dying, and Burger King has inserted itself into the net neutrality debate. Oh, and Miitomo’s time is almost up.

A theoretical step towards human cloning.

Scientists clone monkeys for the first time

Move over Dolly. The first ever successful primate clone is here. Chinese scientists were able to clone a macaque monkey fetus twice, producing sister monkeys Hua Hua and Zhong Zhong. In theory, this makes human cloning more realistic, given the genetic similarities between us and them: monkeys and our own species. However, that's unlikely to happen any time soon, if at all. You don’t need me to explain the ethical ramifications of Xeroxing humans -- but there’s plenty of ‘em.

The tech titan teases its 'reimagined camera' in its invite.

Samsung will unveil the Galaxy S9 on February 25th

It’s almost that time again. Samsung’s next flagship is setting sail, and it’s bound for MWC. No standalone event, but certain to dominate the world’s biggest mobile-tech conference. Barring the number nine and teasing a substantially upgraded camera, we’ll have to wait for the leaks and event itself next month for more details.

The final version will arrive in the spring.

iOS 11.3 will introduce those new battery features and more AR improvements

iOS 11.3 has landed as a preview build for developers, teasing that battery-health indicator we already knew was coming, as well as Health Records and upgraded augmented reality skills. For the typical iOS user, you can expect to nab the upgrade sometime in spring.

Teledildonics for your sex doll.

CamSoda can sync your sex doll to an online performer

If your goal is to have sex with someone through the internet, today is your lucky day. CamSoda, Lovense and RealDoll have teamed up to create VIRP, a system offering Virtual Intercourse with Real People. Put simply, it's much like the teledildonic setups currently used by cam performers, albeit with a big latex doll. Sexual interactions with real performers are digitized then broadcast to erotic hardware that’s now part of a sex doll. CamSoda connects users with a mobile VR headset and the gear to a performer with the compatible vibrator.

Have it your way, unless you’re Ajit Pai.

Burger King tries to explain net neutrality with fast food

Whoppers as an allegory for the internet?

It gets loud.

Watch SpaceX test-fire the Falcon Heavy’s 27 engines

After numerous delays, SpaceX’s super-sized rocket is on the launch pad and has completed a “hold-down” test firing of all 27 engines. According to Elon Musk, it could launch “in a week or so.”

But wait, there's more...

1. SteadXP's DSLR stabilizer is a gimbal with no moving parts

2. How Kickstarter's 'exquisite torture' of exclusives created modern-day FOMO

3. Nintendo will pull the plug on its 'Miitomo' smartphone app in May

4. I really wanted to like Sony's Xperia XZ1 Compact

5. Ubisoft made a virtual assistant for gamers, for some reason

6. When is a planet too big to be called a planet?
