Microsoft's Surface Duo suffers a Face ID-style demo failure, nobody cares
I hear every day that their Windows-based Surfaces are the bomb, and that any day now they will put Apple out of business by stealing iPad and premium laptop sales...this news confuses me!
But really, seriously - Microsoft already has a mobile OS - the old Windows Phone - and a "hybrid" OS in Windows 10/Windows RT. Why on earth are they building an Android-based anything? -

Review: OWC ThunderBlade provides silent & fast Thunderbolt 3 storage
The real question is what is the authors opinion of the KEF LSX speakers in the background of the photos? I auditioned them a couple of months ago and was underwhelmed, which shocked me, given that I’ve been a KEF fan going back to the late 80s. The LS50s are truly stellar, but of course they cost twice as much. -
Possible 'iPad mini 5' with LTE antenna shown in pictures on social media
At this point, we've been waiting for an iPad Mini update since, what, 2016? I stopped holding my breath last fall and bought one of the "standard" 9.7" iPads. To be honest, I don't really like the larger size, but it would be tough to justify purchasing an iPad Mini 5 if one materialized now that I have it. Also, my assumption is that if it ever does show up, it'll be an A10-based product (iPhone 7/2018 iPad), not A12-based, as that would make its performance too close to the iPad Pro's. Whether you want an iPad that's three years old when it goes on sale or not is sort of up to you.

Apple working on breakthrough glucose sensors for Apple Watch, report says
I'm a Garmin Forerunner 235 user at the moment, but having this in the Apple Watch would get me to buy one. I'm a "well-controlled" Type II diabetic (yay, Metformin!), and anything that reduces the number of times I have to poke my fingers with something sharp each day is a HUGE selling point. As my endocrinologist points out, we don't know what happens during the time between readings, and my blood glucose could be all over the place or super steady. A non-invasive way to watch the BG response to different foods, different medications, etc. would be...pretty substantial to me.
