| The Morning After: 2020 Corvette adds NFC, 1080p and OTA updates - Engadget Posted: 20 Jul 2019 06:29 AM PDT Sponsored Links Hey, good morning! You look fabulous. Welcome to your weekend! Chevrolet unveiled its tech-filled 2020 Corvette, and Comic-Con is in full swing. We'll take a look back at someone this week's highlight stories, like Neuralink's plan to connect brains with computers, and fresh news from Friday like Hulu's surprise Veronica Mars drop. NASA's plan to return to the Moon with Project Artemis NASA's Project Artemis (aptly named as the goddess of hunting is Apollo's twin sister) aims to take humans back to the Moon by 2024. But there are many lingering questions about the destination, the goals, the motivations, the project itself, NASA's current readiness level and whether it has the support in Congress to move forward. Apple 13-inch MacBook Pro review (2019): This is the one Apple's latest MacBook Pro isn't the redesign some are waiting for. But it's a strong refinement of the existing formula, particularly in the speed department. For $200 more than a MacBook Air, you get a much faster machine. Engadget's guide to all the outdoor gear you need this summer The weather is, well, getting there. It's time to step outside and enjoy the outdoors, whether that's the trail or the backyard. This week, we have some gear recommendations to ratchet it up a notch. If you really want to escape, we can show you how technology can help you live in nature full-time (and still keep your job) and what to pack should (natural) disaster strike. For those who just want to enjoy the ride between home and work, we have some treats for you, too. Elon Musk's Neuralink plans to install brain-computer interfaces in humans next year Two years ago, we heard about Elon Musk investing heavily in Neuralink, a company dedicated to building a device that links human brains to computers. Now, it has unveiled the "threads" and other hardware that it says can actually do the job. So far it has been done in rats, and according to Musk, "a monkey has been able to control the computer with its brain." Thanks to a robot carefully inserting the wires near groups of neurons, the hope is that not only will it assist patients in restoring things like movement or sight, but possibly help humanity keep pace with AI. 2020 Chevrolet Corvette comes with NFC, 1080p video and wireless charging After decades of speculation and nearly endless teasing, Chevrolet has unveiled the long-awaited mid-engined Corvette. Scheduled to begin production later this year, the 2020 Stingray brings the "fastest 0-60 time of any entry Corvette ever" -- with a starting price promised under $60,000 and a right-hand-drive version -- thanks to a naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 engine capable of 495 HP. The Performance Data Recorder / Valet Mode system it added in 2014 has been updated for high resolution 1080p recording, and its nose can use GPS to remember where speed bumps are, then automatically lift when it gets near one. It also has Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, wireless charging and NFC. But wait, there's more...

Just one day after Apple showed off its new line of emojis, Google has announced the launch of 65 new emojis with its AndroidQ in September. In February, the Unicode Consortium unveiled the new icons would be allowing Apple and Google to develop individual looks with unique aesthetics. Both lines focus on diversity and inclusivity this year with icons portraying disabled people and couples of different genders and races. Other additions also include sloths, otters and garlic as well as the usual categories of food, animals, activities and smiley faces.

Both lines focus on diversity and inclusivity this year with icons portraying disabled people and couples of different genders and races But while Apple announced it would release its 59 emojis to its devices towards the end of the year, likely along with iOS 13 in September, Google will include the emojis in Android Q when that rolls out in August. The search giant has launched 53 gender fluid emojis as part of its push to be 'more inclusive,' according to Fast Company. In a major update to the 'Holding Hands emoji' typically used to represent couples and relationships, users will now be able to select any combination of skin tone.

A sloth for when you're having a slow morning and an otter are new additions to the animal category. Apple has shared a glimpse at the new emoji coming to iOS later this year.

This includes disability-themed characters and interracial couples with changeable skin tones.

The new emojis are being introduced to all phones this year, as unveiled in the annual Emojipedia list. 2019's list, the sixth major emoji update since 2014, is the most diverse yet and indicates an expanding scope of representing people with various disabilities. The list is kept by a California-based group made up of representatives of computing companies, software developers and others, who ensure that users of different devices and apps can send emojis to each other.

Both companies will focus on inclusivity this year ARE EMOJIS RUINING THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE?Emojis may be a fun form of communication but they are destroying the English language, a recent study by Google has revealed. Smiley faces, love hearts, thumbs up and other cartoon icons - rather than words - are the preferred method of communication by teenagers, who are considered the worst offenders regarding the decline in grammar and punctuation. More than a third of British adults believe emojis are the reason for the deterioration in proper language usage, according to the study commissioned by the Google-owned site YouTube.  Emojis were first used by Japanese mobile phone companies in the late 1990s to express an emotion, concept or message in a simple, graphic way. Now, Twitter feeds, text messages and Facebook posts are crammed with them Of the two thousand adults, aged 16 to 65, who were asked their views, 94 per cent reckoned English was in a state of decline, with 80 per cent citing youngsters as the worst offenders. The most common errors made by Brits are spelling mistakes (21 per cent), followed closely by apostrophe placement (16 per cent) and the misuse of a comma (16 per cent). More than half of British adults are not confident with their command of spelling and grammar, the study also found. Furthermore, around three-quarters of adults rely on emoji to communicate, in addition to a dependence on predictive text and spell checking. The use of emojis has seeped into our culture to such an extent that the Oxford Dictionary's 'Word of the Year' in 2015 wasn't actually a word at all - it was the Face With Tears emoji, which shows just how influential the little graphic images have become. They were first used by Japanese mobile phone companies in the late 1990s to express an emotion, concept or message in a simple, graphic way.
