Tech Enabled: CNET chronicles tech's role in providing new kinds of accessibility. Batteries Not Included: The CNET team reminds us why tech is cool. Turns out the sophisticated tech can't tell the difference between your eye and a picture with a contact lens over the iris, a hacking club says. You won't believe your eyes. But maybe the Samsung Galaxy S8 will. In the month since Samsung released its flagship device, hackers in Germany have figured how to break the phone's iris recognition lock. Samsung has touted the biometric technology as "one of the safest ways to keep your phone locked," claiming that a person's iris patterns are "virtually impossible to replicate."Be respectful, keep it civil and stay on topic.

Benjamin Geskin has released a torrent of new iPad mockups, drawings and images (via iDrop News and Twitter), This one is dave grohl - replaceface iphone case a concept image of what he calls the "2017 iPad Pro."Geskin's take on 10.5-inch and 12.9-inch versions of the forthcoming iPad Pro 2, He suggests that the new model will have a bezel, countering the edge-to-edge display rumors, According to Geskin, this is an image of a case manufacturer's mockup of a 10.5-inch iPad Pro 2, which he used to develop a series of computer-assisted drawings..

Motorola says it has a strict regimen of testing when it comes to battery safety, "Absolutely not," said Motorola's Russ Gyenes when asked whether his company made any changes after the Note 7 problem flared up, Gyenes, an engineer who focuses on batteries, was speaking to a group of journalists on Tuesday, While Samsung has largely repaired its image with the launch of the Galaxy S8, the potentially volatile nature of battery technology remains an issue, The Note 7 incident put a spotlight on how companies in all industries ensure the safety of the batteries in their devices, Samsung, for instance, introduced an eight-point battery check that it shared with the dave grohl - replaceface iphone case industry in hopes of raising standards everywhere..
When asked about Samsung's test, Gyenes smirked. "I looked at that eight-point check," he said. "Why weren't they doing it before?"His comments are bold for any company, even one whose legacy in dealing with battery technology goes back to the invention of the first cell phone. Hoverboards, e-cigarettes, electric cars and computer batteries have shown at least isolated instances of batteries catching fire. Boeing fielded questions about the safety of lithium-ion batteries for its 787 Dreamliner. Gyenes noted that Motorola testified as an expert in those proceedings.
