Researchers are now using generative adversarial networks (GANs) to generate faces, produce 3D models from images, turn blurry photos into high res images and a lot more. But it's real power goes beyond images. GANs are one of the best tools yet for computers to teach themselves.

Snaps from tonight:
Taken via: the Huawei Google Nexus 6P smartphone.
Carrier: Verizon Wireless 4G LTE. Yes, you CAN use the Nexus 6P on Verizon Wireless. It’s perfectly fine🙄 You’re not doing anything wrong. Don’t let Verizon tell you you can’t use the Nexus 6P on their 4G LTE. #eyeroll🙄

Bonus audio:

ICYMI: We interviewed @saradietschy about where ~THE HUSTLE~ came from.

This looks crazy futuristic! OM Audio is coming out with a levitating audio speaker

craycrayfuturistic

OM Audio, developers of audio products enabling consumers to connect with music like never before, today announced OM/ONE, the world’s first levitating Bluetooth speaker. Talk about an eye-catching conversation-starter. The makers of the OM/ONE say it’s practical and connects wirelessly to all major smartphones, tablets and computers. When detached, the hovering orb acts as a portable speaker that can be taken on the go. The built-in microphone also can transform the OM/ONE into a very cool looking conference room phone.

“In a world full of speakers that look and sound the same, the OM/ONE stands out from all the rest,” said David DeVillez, Founder and CEO at OM Audio. “Prior to our crowdfunding campaign we traveled Silicon Valley getting feedback from some prominent entrepreneurs and musicians and we’ve been very humbled by the praise we’ve received. We’re looking forward to getting these in the hands of consumers this holiday season.” The MSRP is $179 and to get one delivered before the 2014 holiday season visit www omone.com.

Okay, it looks cool – but how does it sound? Well, Mr. DeVillez is an audio engineer and the former Director of Operations, R&D and Engineering at Velodyne Acoustics. One of his design breakthroughs is the OM/ONE levitating driver for hearing every high and low with no external distortion. Listeners can use the OM/ONE by itself or pair it with another OM/ONE. The team says it can pair/dis-pair and answer call/hang-up with the push of a button.

Is The LG Optimus 3D Worth The Money?

Review by: Laura Ginn, U.K. smartphone enthusiast

Just a quick note: In the U.S., this phone is known as the LG Thrill 4G . . . Discontinued by AT&T, you will need to find a used model. This can equate to a lot of value.

With so many different mobile telephones to choose from, how are you supposed to know which one is the best value? The first thing you should do before a purchase is to write out a list of the features you want your new phone to have. That way, the decision making process won’t be so mindboggling.
