Porsche provided flights from Albany to Barcelona and accommodation so Ars could drive a prototype Cayenne Electric. Ars does not accept paid editorial content. Curved displays in cars are increasingly common, adding a bit of shape to the increasing pixel overload we face behind the steering wheel. The designers of Porsche's upcoming Cayenne Electric, though, decided to do something more dramatic with the touchscreen that commands the center of the forthcoming SUV's dashboard. Its shape flows

Sony TL;DR Sony has recently updated its Monitor & Control app, which lets you control your Sony camera using a smartphone. With the update, Sony is locking high-resolution monitoring over USB behind a paywall. This update also limits USB video feeds to top-tier Sony Xperia phones.

Nuvistor Valves

Innovation at the End of the Valve Era The development of the Nuvistor in the late-1950s was probably the last major innovation in receiving valve technology, coming as it did towards the end of the era of thermionic device domination. Transistors at that time weren't the full answer to all problems in electronics, and so valves still had a lot to offer. The Nuvistor is often regarded as a last desperate effort by valve manufacturers to stem the flow of 'transistorisation' which was becoming a
