OnePlus 2 makes appearance on video a day before launch

Maverick smartphone maker OnePlus is getting ready to launch its super-hyped follow-up to the popular but all too scarce OnePlus One tomorrow. The video above from Eason Qin (YouTube) shows the rather familiar look and feel of the OnePlus One but wait! Is that a home button below? Looks like it. This confirms the additions of a fingerprint reader for mobile payments and improved access control which will be one of the OnePlus two's highlighted features (the others being VR feature, a Snapdragon 810 processor plus a USB Type-C connector.

Anyone who wants to follow along in the proceedings tomorrow, or reserve a OnePlus 2 smarphone, needs to do so using an app which promises a VR version of the event (with or without a Google Cardboard rig).

Alex Gibney's "Steve Jobs: The Man in the Machine" documentary is coming in September

Steve Jobs' life and work, as well as the incredible trajectory of his success, will continue to be mined and expounded on as a source for movies and documentaries. While an early look at Danny Boyle's Steve Jobs biopic (starring Michael Fassbender) looks a little too Hollywood, Alex Gibney's Steve Jobs: The Man in the Machine, documentary (which drops on September 4th) takes a more incisive look at the life and work of Steve Jobs but seems to dwell on personal and past relationships.

Judging from the trailer, none of the source footage is new and has been derived from various video intervies of Jobs through the years. There are some interviews of former friends and colleagues, It is doubtful that there will be any earth shattering revelations to Jobs' life and times but it will be interesting to see how everything is put together by Gibney.
