Original intent drives Jabra's new fitness earbud

» Entirely sweat and waterproof, the Elite Sport is, as its name suggests, a great choice of headphones for working out. Providing decent sound quality with a snug, customisable rubber frame that commendably keeps the earphones where they should be, while keeping ambient noises out, the device is also greatly versatile, able to act as a decent hands-free headset for calls as well as a fitness tracker with HRM (heart rate monitor) capabilities. What the device can't do, however, is act as an on-the-go headphone for your daily needs, with a measly three-hours of battery life per charge. The provided charging case that comes with the headphones does provide a further two charges to your use -- for another six hours of use -- though it probably won't be practical.
Nice cans

» Wearing the Bowers and Wilkins P9 -- the latest release commemorating the 50th anniversary of the famed British company -- doesn't feel like wearing headphones at all. Thanks to the large cups that envelope your entire ear, the comfy memory-foam and decadent leather coverings, the actual weight of the mostly-metal pair of headphones is largely unnoticeable, while the angled audio-drivers give a sort of "surround-sound" quality to the headphones' output, making the sound seem like it's coming from an external source from the front rather than a device on top of or in your ear. The sound quality is also sublime, offering distinct depths of sound that somehow makes every separate part of a song even more distinct.

» Sporting a top-tier GeForce GTX 1070 graphics card, 16GB RAM, 2TB of storage and a new-generation Intel Core-i7 processor, the Omen 17 -- HP's 17-inch flagship gaming laptop -- is a force to be reckoned with.
The mustachioed Italian plumber makes iOS debut

» It's been a long time coming, but Mario -- the crimson-clad, mustachioed, Japanese/Nintendo-born Italian plumber -- has finally hopped his way onto smartphones in the form of Super Mario Run, the mushroom-chugging, fireball-flinging coin maniac's debut feature on touch-screen devices. Downloadable for free now on iOS and next year for Android, the game's simplistic touch-based platforming is great, losing none of the precision of control and inventive level design synonymous of Mario games.

» Today, Thai audiences will finally be formally introduced to the latest member to join Disney's immortal pantheon of princesses -- Moana, the titular character of Walt Disney Pictures' latest feature film. Unlike her fellow damsels, however, Moana's brand of "happily ever after" doesn't involve a prince charming or a posse of magical, singing animals who make her look pretty for a ball.

Best of the rest

» The Motorola G4 Plus -- the latest device to join Motorola's Moto G line of smartphones -- is a heck of a good deal. With an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, a respectable 5.5-inch full-HD display and up to 64GB native storage (with up to 4GB RAM) that can be increased further with microSD support, it's almost too much to expect from a phone that costs a relatively low price of about 9,000 Baht. Slap on a decent and flexible 16MP back camera, a water resistant frame and a fingerprint scanner for added security, and the Motorola G4 Plus becomes an instant recommendation for anyone looking for an affordable smartphone without sacrificing any (noticeable amount of) power.

» Eight new cyber stability and security bills continue to go through various stages of deliberation. Of particular note to the Thai public are the Cyber Stability and Computer Crimes act, both of which have raised concerns among many activists and watchdog groups who continue to speak out against many specific sections in both bills, which they interpret will potentially allow the government to control civil and privacy rights, and which Life reported on last month.
