If you’re in the mood for a staycation but want something a little bit different, we’ve discovered something that might take the cake for a one-of-a-kind hotel stay. Rove Hotels in Dubai has created a unique gaming hotel room in two of its properties – Downtown Dubai and at Dubai Parks and Resorts. For anyone who wants to enjoy the creature comforts of a hotel mixed in with all-night gaming, this is the room to go for. The room is styled with neon light fixtures and some gaming decals on the walls, to make it as gamer-friendly as possible. There’s a double bed for relaxing back on in front of the TV, and you can easily connect your laptop to the TV with a handy HDMI port that’s by the bed – perfect for binging Netflix or YouTube, or even wirelessly casting from your Android phone. (Image credit: Rove Hotel) Of course, the thing that will attract the most attention sits patiently in the corner – a full PC gaming setup that is guaranteed to give you some serious envy. Decked o

It's a new year and we're back with the weekly science round-up with all the latest happenings in science and technology, from space to the life sciences, and there's been a lot to talk about. Obviously, the James Webb Space Telescope deployments have been front and center as we prepare for next week's final insertion burn, but we got some news on the space commercialization front, though not all of it has been good. In a weird historic first, we've seen the first flight delay due to inclement weather on another planet, and back here on Earth, we caught sight of a strange circumstance of Orcas actually being nice (we think?) to a humpback whale rather than killing it because they're jerks. It's been a heck of a week, so let's dig in. Webb Deploys All 18 Mirror Segments Successfully (Image credit: NASA GSFC/CIL/Adriana Manrique Gutierrez) The James Webb Space Telescope successfully deployed all 18 of its primary mirror segments , marking the

Do you want to let Elon Musk put an implant in your brain? If that’s your dream in life, then you’ll be excited to hear it’s one step closer to reality – as Elon Musk’s Neuralink company has just posted a job looking for a clinical trial director. Having previously demoed its brain-machine interfaces in animals , this new director would be responsible for “working with Neuralink’s first Clinical Trial participants” – i.e. the first humans Neuralink will test its tech on. This study is the necessary next step if Neuralink is to achieve Musk’s goals for the technhology – becoming a recognized treatment for neurological-related problems and facilitating communication between computers and the brain. To receive approval from organizations like the US Food and Drug Administration – and as such be allowed to be sold as an official medical device – Neuralink will need to show that its implants provide a meaningful improvement over existing options, and that any risks from using them a

People want to feel connected and this desire has urged them to apply new and emerging technologies to constantly explore new ways to break down barriers to interacting with people locally, regionally, and internationally.

We started with Facebook likes and shares and 140-character updates on Twitter in the late 2000s. Then came YouTube and Instagram to share our videos and photos followed by livestreaming in the last few years. We are now moving into a world that’s more interconnected bringing graphics, videos and content to life. Since Mark Zuckerberg expressed Meta’s (formerly known as Facebook) interest in making the concept of the “Metaverse” a reality, several brands, organizations and people have already started to leverage its potential within this industry of what experts calculate to be a nearly USD 800 billion market opportu

Google has used the opportunity of CES 2022 to launch Ripple, an open standard of protocols for putting radar capabilities into consumer devices. Companies including Ford, Texas Instruments, and blood sensor maker Blumio are already on board. CES organizer the Consumer Technology Association (CTA) is hosting Ripple for the time being, with the goal to "enable hardware / software interoperability and accelerate the growth of applications for general purpose consumer radar".
