23 – Best of CES Awards & Huawei denies Chinese Involvement – Tech Time Podcast
China landed Chang’e-4 mission on the far side of the Moon and Sprouted a Plant.
* Jan 3 the Chang-e-4 rover landed on the far side of the moon.* Chang’e-4 spacecraft, lander and rover.* The lander has a radioisotope thermoelectric generator to power the lunar operations during three months.* The rover can carry 20kg and will perform real time video transmission. It can also dig and perform simple analysis of soil. * Cotton seeds became the first biological matter to grow on the moon.* Photo of the seeds sprouting on Jan 7.* This experiment lays the foundation for a lunar base and long term space exploration.* Some question the validity of the experiment as a test experiment was done here on earth. * Some say the photos are from that earth experiment and that the seeds most likely didn’t survive the lunar landing.
Apple Replaced 11 Million iPhone Batteries in Its $29 Program
* Apple’s $29 battery replacement program may have seriously dinged sales of its 2018 iPhone models. * The company replaced 11 million iPhone batteries under the program, John Gruber of tech-focused blog DaringFireball reported Monday, citing Apple CEO Tim Cook at an all-hands meeting. * Typically, the company replaces 1 million to 2 million batteries each year, DaringFireball noted. Cook cited the program’s negative impact on Apple’s revenue in a Jan. 2 sales warning to investors but didn’t offer specific numbers.* That’s 9-10 million units lost in sales.
Apple drastically drops the price of iPhones in China
The best of CES according to Engadget.
* Best accessibility = Samsung GEMS H – Lightweight (6lbs) exoskelleton.* Can also add resistance to help strengthen rehabilityation.* Best Startup = NREAL – the light. Mixed reality = 1080P and doesn’t look weird.* Best Digital Health and Fitness = Tripple W D3, Tracks bladder levels and can warn you when you may have an accident. * Best Wearable – Omron Heartguide – Blood pressure and hypertension with the push of a button.* Best Transportation – Daimler Freightliner. Adaptive cruise, lane control, auto breaking (normal in consumer vehicles but first in a truck). Make the road safer.* Best Home Theater = Sannheiser Ambeo Soundbar. 5.1 surround sound in a soundbar. Converts stereo sound to 3d.* Best Connected Home Product = Lenovo Smart Clock. Google Home built in. Sunlight simulation and control smart home. No camera.* Best mobile device = Morphie Juicepack, Battery case that doesn’t use lightning port. Uses wireless charging leaving the jack available (headphones?).* Best TV = LG OLED TV R, 4k with 100w dolbie atmos soundbar. Rolls up.* Best Gaming = Alienware Area 51.m. Modular – can swap out everything. Futureproofing.* Most unexpected = IMpossible burger 2.0. Meatless patty. Grown in a lab and tastes good. Made with Soy Protien. * Best Sports = JaxJox Kettle bell.
