Amazon introduces paid subscriptions for Alexa skills

This is the first time third-party developers will be able to implement a direct means of monetizing their skills themselves, but it’s not the first time developers have earned money from their skills.

Ford Ditches Microsoft Partnership On Sync, Goes With QNX

Ford’s in-car infotainment system known as Sync will soon evolve to add a capacitive touch screen, better integration with smartphone apps and, eventually, support for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay in version 3, thanks to a switch of operating systems. After years of teaming with Microsoft, the automobile giant has switched to BlackBerry’s QNX, a real time operating system renowned for stability.

LG To Show Off New 55-Inch 8K Display at CES

One of the most in-your-face buzzwords of the past year has been “4K,” and there’s little doubt that the forthcoming CES show in early January will bring it back in full force. As it stands today, 4K really isn’t that rare, or expensive. You can even get 4K PC monitors for an attractive price. There does remain one issue, however; a lack of 4K content. We’re beginning to see things improve, but it’s still slow going. Given that, you might imagine that display vendors would hold off on trying to push that resolution envelope further — but you just can’t stop hardware vendors from pushing the envelope. Earlier this year, both Apple and Dell unveiled “5K” displays that nearly doubled the number of pixels of 4K displays. 4K already brutalizes top-end graphics cards and lacks widely available video content, and yet here we are looking at the prospect of 5K. Many jaws dropped when 4K was first announced, and likewise with 5K. Now? Well, yes, 8K is on its way. We have LG to thank for that. At CES, the company will be showing-off a 55-inch display that boasts a staggering 33 million pixels — derived from a resolution of 7680×4320. It might not be immediately clear, but that’s far more pixels than 4K, which suggests this whole “K” system of measuring resolutions is a little odd. On paper, you might imagine that 8K has twice the pixels of 4K, but instead, it’s 4x.
