    "Samsung's latest attempt to take on Apple's AirPods Pro, the Galaxy Buds Live are bean-shaped wireless earphones, that this time includes active noise cancellation."

    I have written this in the past. 

    1) Samsung was the first to come out with an AirPods type product, preceding the AirPods to market by 6 months.
    2) Samsung's AirPods type product have features that AirPods lack.
    3) Samsung's AirPods type products do not emulate the AirPods in any way but instead have their own design language.

    Seriously, Samsung has been making audio products - from analog headphones to home theater systems that cost nearly $2000 - for decades. They shouldn't be considered a copycat in this area at all.
    I suspect that they are referring to marketshare where AirPods dominate in the >$100 market worldwide.

    You sure get bent easy.

    Might be bad for your heart, a cost of defending your realm, I suppose.


    I don’t know how seriously is Samsung about audio products, but the buds pictured here are AKG


    After Apple acquired Beats, Sammy suddenly cared about audio and in a copycat-reflex-move acquired AKG. So basically AKG is Samsung as Beats is Apple.
    Samsung acquired HARMAN primarily for their technologies in the automotive industry, which made up the majority of their revenue. AKG was just one of the brands under them.

    Right Samsung isn't using AKG at all....
    Why would you think that? It clearly says "sound by AKG" right on the product.

    To assert that Samsung's purchase of HARMAN was to acquire AKG in a "copycat-reflex-move" against Apple, well that's just untrue.

    Samsungs Galaxy Z Fold2
    Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold2

    It's not for me, but this year's model actually looks like a real product compared to last year's "protoype" model.

  • Apple researching curved iPhone body with wrap-around displays

    To get an idea of what this might be like, MKBHD did an overview of the Mi Mix Alpha which has a wrap around display:

  • Nvidia is reportedly in 'advanced talks' to acquire Arm Holdings

    mjtomlin said:

    Nvidia acquiring ARM is a bad idea. Too many companies that rely on ARM IP could potentially get screwed by this acquisition if it goes through.


    nVIDIA already has an ARM license, so I'm not sure what good owning the company would actually do other than a new revenue source. Oh, and of course enabling them shove their GPU designs down everyone's throats, like Intel does.
    Pushing their GPU tech with ARM designs - Mali is lacking and it would give NVIDIA a chance to have a much wider market.

    ARM IP, Mellanox IP and NVIDIA IP all under one roof. That also sounds like a pretty a strong combination for the server market.
