Samsung Galaxy S20's 64MP tele camera won’t be for 4-in-1 pixel binning, but will be for 8K video

Rumour has it the 64-megapixel telephoto sensor on the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S20 and S20+ won't be used for pixel-binned 4-in-1 16-megapixel photos. And that it'll offer 8K video support, likely at 8K@30fps. The Galaxy S20 and S20+ rumoured specs sheet claims the two phones will offer 3x optical zoom and up to 30x digital zoom. And it seems the zoom will be of the lossless variety as it'll crop actual pixels from the sensor. These are all speculation for now, unfortunately. So, information might come out differently when the flagships launch next month.

Emilio Estevez rumoured to be starring in Disney+'s 'The Mighty Ducks' series

We've already heard about the revival of The Mighty Ducks, but this time we learn that Emilio Estevez will be joining the series. Estevez played coach Gordon Bombay in the original movie and its sequel. Now, rumour has it that he'll be coming back for the rumoured 10-episode, half-hour series. The show is reportedly starting filming this March in Vancouver, and it'll wrap up in June. The Mighty Ducks series will involve the original screenwriter Steven Brill and producer Jordan Kerner. 

The Mighty Ducks series will reportedly focus on a 13-year-old boy that gets kicked off the Mighty Ducks junior division team, so he and his mom start their own team.

Shopify will open its first Vancouver office

Shopify plans to open its first-ever Vancouver office before the end of the year. The office will be housed in a new four-floor, 6,500-square metre workspace at the Four Bentall Centre in downtown Vancouver. Its current Vancouver-based employees work remotely or at a WeWork space across the street from where their new office will be. The Vancouver office will focus on software development as well as expanding its R&D team. The office will help support around one million online customers globally. 

Shopify plans to hire 1,000 workers for this office, but that would happen over "a couple of years." The Ottawa-based e-commerce company is looking for backend developers, data engineers, mobile developers, product designers, product managers, and web developers.

Apple patent shows a Mac with a curved glass display

Apple has applied for a patent that shows a Mac with a curved glass display. The patent describes a wedge at the back of the desktop that houses its processing parts as well as props up the glass. Apple might also adjust the curved glass so you can fix the angle or fold the device shut. There's a slot at the bottom center of the device, which we presume is where you'll slide a keyboard in. There's a part in the patent that suggests this design could be used as a laptop dock instead of a computer.

If Apple pushes through with this design, we doubt this will be available anytime soon because, well, the tech isn't available yet. But it does give us a glimpse of some of the things the company might consider when it comes to designing its future products.
