LEGO Batman celebrates Christmas in a dark and confusingly sexy way  

The LEGO Batman Movie promos have always been amusing to us. Now, The movie’s Twitter account shows us how The Caped Crusader celebrates the holidays. It looks to be a bit dark and mildly seductive if we take into account Will Arnett’s scruffy voice for Batman. What we get from the short clip is Arnett’s Batman in a red robe showing his LEGO chest and reading us the end of the holiday classic The Night Before Christmas and ending it with “Happy Holidays to all, and to all a dark knight.” What we would give to see and hear the entire tale told to us by this Dark Knight.

Lenovo rumoured to be working on another Project Tango device

There’s a report coming from Ubergizmo that claims we haven’t seen the last Project Tango device from Lenovo. This Google Project introduced around two years ago makes use of special sensors embedded into mobile devices to map out 3D spaces for augmented reality purposes. Lenovo first introduced a Project Tango-enabled device called the Phab 2 Pro. And it seems that isn’t the last we’ve seen from Lenovo. According to Jeff Merideth, general manager of Android and Chrome at Lenovo, the company plans to launch new Project Tango devices next year. That would put Lenovo ahead of other manufacturers, since this will already be a second-generation device and other makers have yet to introduce their first version.

At the moment, there are only a few dozen apps available that take advantage of the depth-sensing capabilities of Project Tango. But perhaps with more devices coming out, we hope to see more apps.

Lenovo plans to release Chrome OS version of Yoga Book

Lenovo sees more potential to its sleek and unique 2-in-1 Yoga Book. The tech company plans to release a Chrome OS version to the line, joining the Android and Windows versions of the device. What makes this hybrid device unique is that it ditches a traditional keyboard and goes with a touch surface on one side that can be used both for typing and writing or scribbling on. The Chrome OS version will support the Real Pen stylus that allows you to write on the pressure-sensitive keyboard surface.

According to Lenovo Vice President Jeff Meredith, there have been “a lot of interest” in a Chrome OS version for this device. And that it could even serve as a great option for schools for its unique offering. There is no official release date yet for this new version but Meredith says Lenovo plans to “maintain the three distinctive products throughout this year at least.”
