Just look at the latest video from The Slow Mo Guys — damn thing’s like the next Fast and Furious instalment.

If you added Dwayne Johnson into the mix you’d have a blockbuster. …

There's now a white variant of Xiaomi's bezel-less Mi Mix

The stunning Mi Mix, now in white.

At CES, Xiaomi announced a white version of the bezel-less Mi Mix. Unveiled back in October, the Mi Mix sports a 6.4-inch Full HD display, but the lack of bezels and a 91.3% screen-to-body ratio means that the phone isn’t any larger than a traditional 5.5-inch handset.

The phone is kitted out with high-end internals in the form of a Snapdragon 821, 6GB of RAM, 128GB storage, 16MP camera at the back, 5MP front shooter, and a 4400mAh battery. As is the case with the standard black variant, the white Mi Mix won’t be available for sale outside of China.

The white Mi Mix has a “unique” scratch-resistant finish, and while Xiaomi didn’t reveal the price, the new color option is expected to be up for grabs in China later this year.

Infamous 'CU in the NT' campaign gets tourism kudos despite obscenity ruling

That bootleg “CU in the NT” campaign for Australia’s Northern Territory certainly got plenty of attention last year, but of course, it didn’t thrill everyone.

One complaint to the country’s Advertising Standards Board (ASB) called it “Crass, offensive and not suitable to be displayed where children can see it.”

Although it’s a sentiment the Northern Territory’s tourism department agrees with, it did concede the campaign created plenty of travel buzz for the state.

“The initial thing about the campaign is that it certainly did get a lot of people talking about the Northern Territory and what there is to see and do up here,” Valerie Smith, acting executive director of the NT tourism department, told …

You will soon be able to use a Samsung Gear S3, S2, and Fit 2 with an iPhone

All the way back in late 2015, Samsung announced that they had plans to bring support for the Gear S2 (their latest smartwatch at the time) to the iOS platform. This was great news to hear, and a release in January of the following year in 2016 sounded great. Unfortunately, that support was simply never released. Samsung then followed this up with a beta program for the Gear S2 a few months back, and today, it looks like the company is ramping up to finally launch official support for not just the Gear S2 on iOS, but for the Gear S3 and Gear Fit 2 as well.
