Jeff Bezos promised drone deliveries by 2019 — but 3 things are missing


Five years ago, Jeff Bezos promised in a 60 Minutes interview that drones would deliver goods to our homes by 2019. With the new year upon us, it’s exciting to think that drone package delivery could be a reality in the US, just as it’s starting to happen in other countries. While hobbyists are already filling the air, consumers may be wondering whether we’ll soon see widespread services like pizza deliveries.

LG gets a 5G flagship, making the world’s longest phone name even longer

For a company with a two letter name, LG loves nothing so much as an unwieldy title. A form of overcompensation, perhaps?

Huawei’s new MateBook X Pro makes one of the best Windows laptops even better


Huawei’s original MateBook x Pro was among the very best Windows laptops money could buy – and it was reasonably priced to boot. Today, a month after introducing entry-level MateBook 13, the company is refreshing its premium laptop with more competitive specifications. While the original MateBook X Pro is still a powerful performer – one of the relatively few 13-inch laptops with a dedicated GPU – it was a bit odd that the ‘budget’ MateBook 13 offered faster specs.
