Twitter experiments with putting Moments in main timeline

Hoping to get more eyeballs on its Moments feature, Twitter is testing out putting a few of these “moments” on your timeline. Some users who have access to Moments have spotted this feature in their timeline as a carousel with five trending topics on it. If one of the topics interests you, you can tap on that and then the app will bring you to Moments. Of course, since they’re testing it out with a number of users, we can’t say you’ll be seeing the feature. But if Twitter deems it a success, they might bring it on as an official feature soon. Moments is designed by Twitter to help you see what latest stories are unfolding in your area and around the world.

Apple Pay tipped to be coming to web purchases

If recent rumours are to be believed, Apple Pay won’t just be limited to select iOS devices but will be coming to online purchases as well, which means taking the fight to PayPal. It’s said Apple might unveil this plan at the upcoming WWDC 2016. It isn’t known though if it’ll work with devices that don’t have fingerprint sensors, such as desktops, or if it’ll only work with the Safari browser. At the moment Apple Pay only works with iPhone 6/6s, iPhone 6/6s Plus, iPhone SE, both iPad Pro models, iPad mini, and Apple Watch, because it makes use of your fingerprint to verify the purchase or your heartbeat, which is the case with the Apple Watch. There have been recent rumours that Apple is also releasing a new MacBook with a Touch ID fingerprint sensor, so that could answer that concern. We’ll just have to wait a few weeks if there is any truth to the speculation.

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

San Francisco - The Lenovo Moto Z was the biggest, most anticipated and leaked announcement here at Lenovo Tech World. The duo of flagship devices, which is composed of the ultra thin Moto Z and the more muscular Moto Z Force (not coming to Canada) represent the cutting edge of smartphone technology today.

What is interesting about the Moto Z is that it is completely different beast from the venerable Moto X line. That remnant from the days that Google owned Motorola Mobility, did provide a lot of the foundation for what the Moto Z has to offer.

Video: Lenovo's Folio is a folding tablet concept

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

San Francisco- We've all seen folding and rolling OLED displays as early concepts for future technology. Lenovo showed off a complete and working tablet concept which it calls Folio. Running on a quad-core processor, the Folio can bend in half and also rearranges its user interface to fit the smaller form factor. It's a cool concept and one that extends the possibilities of the tablet/phablet form factor.
