Apple's MacOS High Sierra update will re-write your files for more efficiency, speed
It's Monday September 25th and according to our friends at BGR, the joke around many tech offices is that now that Apple has released the iPhone X, the Samsung Galaxy X, which has sort of a cool sci-fi ring to it, can't be far behind. Well, guess what? vgr says a Samsung Galaxy X phone model has been spotted on South Korea's national radio research agency's database and it appears to be a radical bendable smartphone.
Samsung has been working on bendable display technology for a while as other companies try to find the next big thing in smartphones after the current bezel-less display trend. But making a bendable phone, not just a bendable display, is a huge challenge. Samsung may be taking steps to make it a reality, but no details about the mysterious model have surfaced yet. We'll be watching closely to see what turns up.
If you're an Apple laptop iMac or Mac user, today's a pretty big day. Apple will release the public version of the high sierra Mac OS operating system, which you can download for free. While the high sierra version may seem like just an update to the current sierra OS, there's actually a lot of new stuff going on behind the scenes. Probably the biggest change will be the conversion of all your data to a new more efficient file format called the Apple file system or APFS. The new 64-bit storage scheme optimizes your data for faster reads and writes, especially if you're using superfast solid-state drives, which will now be even more super-fast.
The Safari browser gets an overhaul as well, and we'll keep autoplay videos from auto-playing. The Photos app gets more horsepower to recognize faces and organize your pics. The update drops today, and we've got a four-minute video of High Sierra at the link. Virtual and augmented reality technologies are still in their relative infancy, but more and more companies are finding the next wave of tech useful in designing products.
One company pushing the envelope is American car maker Ford, which is using the Microsoft HoloLens augmented reality system to help with the design face of new cars. Ford says using the tech can speed up the design process by projecting changes onto cars sitting right in front of the designers. Designers can also record their 3D ideas and observations, including audio commentary, and pass on those files to team members and managers.
Speaking of feedback and problem-solving, the HoloLens system is barely a year old, and the way Ford is using it is a peek into the future of design. Whether it's cars, computers, or toaster ovens, this tech is going to change the game. Check out the whole story and video at The Lake.
