New ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows’ trailer intros Krang

We’ll be honest, we don’t have high expectations for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows. With Michael Bay as the producer, we’re not thinking it’ll be anything but a hyped up movie. But we still want to think it’ll be entertaining in its own silly way. Its new trailer gives us a closer look of Krang, the film’s menacing pink bubblegum monster with fangs, and he somehow still looks scary in CG. If this is something you’d want to catch, the movie comes out on June 3^rd.

Wearable acts like a breathalyzer, measures alcohol levels using your skin

A new wearable from startup BACTrack is designed to monitor the alcohol levels in your body. Called BACTrack Skyn, this wearable makes use of fuel cell technology to measure the amount of alcohol in you. It makes use of similar technology law enforcement uses. But this doesn’t give a real-time readout since it takes around 45 minutes for alcohol consumed to be transmitted to your skin. But what it can detect is the recent drinking history of someone, which could be used by medical practitioners as well as researchers and even help people who are being treated for alcohol abuse. The Skyn connects to a smartphone app via Bluetooth, so it could also warn you if you’ve drank too much to drive or to send messages to family and friends if you’ve been trying to remain sober and alcohol is found in your system.

The Skyn won first place at a National Institutes of Health competition and won a US$200,000 grand prize. It hasn’t been tested or approved by the FDA yet but the company is already offering pre-orders for a limited release this fall.

Panasonic promises to keep up with Tesla Model 3 demand

Panasonic is ready to put in the work and the money to make sure they meet the demand for batteries of the Tesla Model 3. Panasonic is pouring in US$1.6 billion into the Gigafactory needed to for the production of the batteries. The Japanese electronics company promises it will “do [its] best” to speed up investment so Tesla can meet its accelerated production goals. Right now, Tesla plans to make 500,000 cars per year by 2018 instead of 2020.

It doesn’t come as a surprise that Panasonic is willing to spend on this partnership as they also stand to profit from the flood of Model 3 sales. This move also shows a major shift in strategy for Panasonic as this’ll have them moving away from being dependent on the volatile consumer electronics market and into the relatively stable car industry. We can’t say yet if the Model 3 will fare well in the market but this gives Panasonic a way in to the industry.
