Review: Plantroincs BackBeat Pro 2
Headphones rarely have to leave your head. They make phone calls, let you query of Siri or Google Assistant, and they give you hours of bliss as you consume podcasts, books, and playlists en masse. Having a pair that can do it all well is crucial. The Plantronics BackBeat Pro 2 is a very capable and pair of wireless Bluetooth headphones that will give you more than 20 hours of comfortable listening on a charge. For $200, you get very good sound coupled with active noise-canceling--one of those premium features usually reserved for pricier headsets. The fit is comfortable, even for big-heads like me.
Amazon Echo Dot (2nd generation) review: This is the Echo most people should buy
When I reviewed the Amazon Echo 13 months ago, I predicted that people would want one in every room. The Echo can control your home's lighting, play music, estimate your commute time, operate a timer, answer trivia questions, read books and news bulletins to you, tell you which movies are at your local theater, and so much more. You can order a pizza from Dominoes, a ride from Uber, or virtually anything from Amazon. You'd want one in every room so you didn't need to walk to the room it was in to use it, or yell "Alexa!" from across the house to get its attention. I'm sure Amazon loved my idea, but it was never going to happen on a broad scale at $180 a pop.
The Inside Story Behind Tinder's New Gender Options
Since the popular dating app Tinder launched in 2012, new users have been given two options to describe themselves when they sign up: male or female. But that seemingly simple question presented a conundrum for people like Liz Busillo, a graphic designer in Philadelphia who identifies as agender--meaning Busillo identifies as neither a man, nor a woman. "I figured, I present in a way that's very feminine, so I'll just put down female and clarify in my profile," says Busillo, who uses the singular pronoun they. What ensued was a slew of negative interactions, mostly with straight men, including aggression, harassment, and someone reporting their profile for being "fake." Many other transgender and gender non-conforming Tinder users have reported similar experiences on a platform where gender was presumed to be as straightforward as swiping left or right.
Apps are dying. Long live the subservient bots ready to fulfil your every desire
The app boom is over. There are now more than 4.2 million apps available for Android and iOS, but three-quarters of American smartphone users download a grand total of zero new apps per month. They might be mostly free and easy to access, but apps are struggling to make it on to our phones and tablets. According to comScore, we spend the majority of our screen time using just three apps, with the average American spending almost half their time in just one. With the eyeballs of the world glued to WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, WeChat and Skype, developers have started turning once-simple chat apps into complex ecosystems. And at the centre of this change is a horde of subservient bots. You've just walked into your kitchen after a long week. "Play Etta James," you say.
Tinder Down, Deleted Matches: How To Recover Lost Connections
Fewer complaints of dating app Tinder being down are coming in now, but there are still many users reporting problems, especially losing their matches and conversations.

Microsoft, Nvidia work to speed up AI platform powering Cortana
Thanks to artificial intelligence, we have autonomous cars, chat bots, and speech recognition. Microsoft's CNTK (Cognitive Toolkit) is one among many platforms that trains computers to learn, and it's getting an upgrade. CNTK drives the Microsoft services Cortana and Skype language translation, and it boasts more than 90 percent accuracy in speech recognition tasks. Microsoft will soon release an upgraded CNTK toolkit, and one hardware maker wants to ensure the toolkit works best on its hardware. Nvidia is partnering with Microsoft to optimize its GPU development tools for CNTK.
