How Technology is Revolutionizing the Cricket Experience
1. Decision Review System (DRS):
What began as a tool for checking LBW and caught-behind decisions has now evolved into a comprehensive system. With ball tracking, Snickometer, and smart bails, DRS ensures fairness and accuracy. IPL 2025 takes it a step further by allowing reviews for wide and no-balls, helping eliminate ambiguity in crucial moments.
2. Ultra-Edge & Snickometer:
These technologies work hand-in-hand to detect the faintest of edges. While Ultra-Edge uses real-time soundwave analysis, the Snickometer picks up tiny audio deviations as the ball passes the bat—offering irrefutable clarity for tight calls.
3. Hawk-Eye Tracking:
Once limited to LBW decisions, Hawk-Eye has been upgraded this season to adjudicate wide balls too. Its multiple-camera setup traces the exact path of the ball, bringing a new level of precision to umpiring.
4. Smart Bails & LED Stumps:
These are more than just flashy lights—they help make instantaneous run-out and stumping calls, turning split-second moments into decisive judgments.
Spider Cam & BuggyCam:
IPL broadcasts have become cinematic experiences. The Spider Cam swoops over the field, capturing breathtaking views, while the BuggyCam provides intimate, on-the-ground footage that brings fans closer to their heroes.
360° Cameras & Drones:
Fans now enjoy immersive, multi-angle replays and stunning aerial stadium views. It's not just watching cricket—it's living it.
PitchVision & Speed Guns:
From analyzing bounce and spin to recording delivery speeds, these technologies provide bowlers with critical data for strategic planning, both on match day and in training sessions.
Wearable Tech & Video Analysis:
Fitness tracking, workload monitoring, and motion analysis are now part of every franchise's toolkit. Coaches rely heavily on real-time data and massive video libraries to study rivals and fine-tune player performance.
AI-Powered Strategy:
Artificial Intelligence is changing how teams are built and games are won. From scouting young talent across the globe using internet platforms to using AI for predictive performance modeling, data is now the secret weapon of every franchise.
Digital Auction Tools:
Player auctions are no longer gut-driven—they're data-driven. Real-time analytics guide team owners and managers in making smart, strategic investments.
Smart Stadiums:
Modern IPL venues offer high-speed Wi-Fi, interactive displays, and seamless digital ticketing. Fans enjoy AR-enhanced visuals, real-time match data, and instant replays—all from their seats.
AR, VR, and AI Personalization:
Whether it's wearing a VR headset to get a player's-eye view or receiving tailored updates about your favorite team, IPL fans are more connected than ever. AI tools push custom content and fan polls to enhance engagement on a deeply personal level.
NFTs & Digital Collectibles:
Collectible moments, player highlights, and virtual memorabilia have added a new layer to fandom. The IPL has brought cricket into the blockchain era.
This season has seen the debut of two groundbreaking additions: Hawk-Eye for Wide Balls: Reducing controversies and enhancing consistency in officiating.
Robotic Dog POV Camera: Yes, you read that right—a robotic dog roams team areas, streaming behind-the-scenes content to fans, offering an unprecedented glimpse into player life.
The IPL is more than a tournament; it's a technological frontier. From AI algorithms shaping strategy to AR overlays enhancing the viewing experience, the league is pushing boundaries like never before. As cricket continues to evolve, the IPL remains at the forefront—proving that when tradition meets technology, magic happens on and off the pitch.

Three Longhorns selected to Walter Camp Preseason All-America Teams
Colin Simmons sacks from his freshman year. No telling how high of a sack total he will put up in 2024 Shaun Alexander Freshman of the Year. @ontexasfootball Although the college football season hasn't started, a trio of Longhorns are already making headlines. On Tuesday, linebacker Anthony Hill Jr., EDGE Colin Simmons, and defensive back Michael Taaffe were named to Walter Camp's Preseason All-America Teams. Hill and Simmons each landed on the First Team, while Taaffe was on the Second Team. For the Longhorns stars, their latest honor comes as no surprise. All three served as vital pieces to the Longhorns' success last year. With another year of experience under their belts, they will once again be relied on to help Texas ends it's title drought. This is the second straight year Hill has received Walter Camp's Preseason All-American honors. During the 2024 campaign, he led the team in tackles with 104. He also forced four fumbles and finished third on the team in sacks with eight. As the Texas native frustrated offensive coordinators, he added multiple Player of the Week honors to his trophy case. While Hill was a reliable veteran presence, he got help from Simmons, who was a human highlight reel. The talented EDGE led the team in sacks with nine and ranked second in quarterback hurries with 14. He also led all freshmen in total sacks. Due to his play, Simmons won the Shaun Alexander National Freshman of the Year Award. It's just down right fun watching Michael Taaffe communicate and move people into the right you weren't told, you probably would assume he was recruited on a scholarship. Rounding out the list is a player Texas fans have become familiar with in Taaffe. The former walk-on started every game last season and recorded 78 tackles. He also added two interceptions and ten pass break-ups to his resume. During his Longhorns career, Taaffe has appeared in 43 games and made 26 starts. The Walter Camp teams are revealed in December and chosen by FBS head coaches and sports information directors.

I Found the Best Samsung Galaxy Unpacked Rumors for the Fold 7, Flip 7 and Watch 8
Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked event is a week away and I expect to see new foldable phones such as the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 as well as new Galaxy Watches. Remember when July was a quiet month for tech? Not anymore. Samsung was one of the first companies to launch a foldable phone, but over the past few years, competitors including Motorola and Google (as well as Chinese brands such as Honor, Oppo and Xiaomi) have released their own flips and folds that improve or solve many of the shortcomings found on the Galaxy Z Fold 6 like price, size, battery life and camera quality. A great example of this is the Oppo Find N5, which is one of the world's slimmest foldable book-style phones and closer in size and weight when closed to a regular smartphone. "Whether I'm using the cover display or the internal one, I'm not constantly reminded of how gimmicky the concept of a foldable phone can be, because everything feels sleek and comfortable," wrote CNET's Abrar Al-Heeti in her Oppo Find N5 review. "Yes, the Find N5 is remarkably thin and lightweight, but it's also exceptionally practical and enjoyable to use." So how will Samsung respond? The July 9 Galaxy Unpacked event will be a pivotal moment for the South Korean company. In terms of the Galaxy Fold line, many critics want to see Samsung come to parity with Chinese foldable phones or top what they're doing. But there is also growing curiosity about what the company is doing with AI and health and wellness monitoring, specifically in terms of its Galaxy smartwatches. Rumors, leaks and even some teases straight from Samsung show that the company is ready to meet the moment with an exciting array of foldables phones, including a brand-new budget version of its clamshell flip phone as well as updates to its smartwatch line. You can watch the Galaxy Unpacked event on Wednesday, July 9, at 10 a.m. ET/7 a.m. PT. Samsung is also offering deals for up to $1,200 off when you reserve the new foldable phones on its website. Galaxy Z Fold 7 Ultra A frame from one of Samsung's press releases that teased the Galaxy Z Fold 7. Samsung Over the preceding weeks, Samsung has sent out provocative press releases trying to drum up the hype about a Galaxy Fold 7 and its new Ultra-like camera. In a press release titled, Meet the Next Chapter of Ultra, a video shows a Galaxy Z Fold in silhouette with the sound of a chorus of singers and swooping sound effects of the phone opening and closing. These teases are vague at best, but could mean that there are multiple Galaxy Z Fold phones. The Ultra variant will have a Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, according to a report on 91mobiles. The main camera could be truly flagship-worthy, if Samsung's tease is true, and similar to the 200-MP camera that's on the Galaxy S25 Edge. There could be a slim version of the Fold that would be the "the thinnest, lightest and most advanced foldable yet." It's unclear if the -- let's call it the Fold 7 Slim -- would have the same Snapdragon processor or an Exynos one. But what if the Fold 7 Ultra and Fold 7 Slim are the same phone? That might be the reality. Get ready for an Ultra-fied Samsung foldable. Samsung Noted leaker and blogger Evan Blass shared photos in his newsletter of the Galaxy Z Fold 7. The images show the unreleased phone in three different colors: blue shadow, silver shadow and jet black. The blue shadow version looks incredible. The photos of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 are at different angles and really make it look thin. The camera bump sticks out quite a bit and gives off heavy Galaxy S25 Edge vibes. One of the images shows the main screen with a camera cutout at top, which could mean that Samsung is moving away from the under-display camera that's been on the Fold for the past few years. There are conflicting reports that the Z Fold 7 will have larger 8-inch main displays. It's hard to tell from Samsung PR teases or Blass' photos if that's the case. Of course, price is the other big factor when it comes to the Galaxy Z Fold. Last year, Samsung raised the price of the Fold 6 to $1,900. But with the threat of tariffs and an uncertain outlook for the economy in general, it's tough to know what US prices will be. Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Z Flip 7 FE This is the hinge on the Galaxy Z Flip 6. James Martin/CNET Motorola came up with a clever way to deal with the high price for foldable phones by offering multiple versions of its Razr, including one that starts at $700. And like Motorola, Samsung could have not one but two Z Flip phones this year. There would likely be a Z Flip 7, a follow up to last year's Galaxy Z Flip 6, and a more affordable Z Flip 7 FE -- and if you're not a Samsung stan, FE stands for fan edition. The Z Flip 7 would get a larger 4.1-inch cover screen, according to a post by Weibo user Setsuna Digital, similar to the 4-inch one on the Motorola Razr Ultra. Of course, if that's the case, it's going to be exciting to see how Samsung will take advantage of the extra space. Luckily, Blass also shared leaked photos of the Z Flip 7 in blue shadow, coral red and jet black. The cover screen looks enormous without Samsung's file folder tab cutout. But it's on the inside where things get interesting. A couple of weeks ago Samsung launched its Exynos 2500 processor, and that could be what powers the Galaxy Z Flip 7. There's the possibility for a Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE, which after looking at Blass' leaked photos, seems like a repackaged Galaxy Z Flip 6 complete with a 3.4-inch cover screen. And if the Z Flip 7 FE is supposed to be Samsung's more affordable clamshell phone, I have to imagine that the processor will be a step down, too. Will Samsung price the Z Flip 7 FE at $700, the same as Motorola's baseline Razr? We will find out soon. Galaxy Watch 8 and Galaxy Watch 8 Classic The Galaxy Watch 7 (top) and Ultra (bottom). John Kim/CNET Sometimes Samsung teases and other times it just tell us what to expect. A few weeks back, Dr. Hon Pak, Samsung's senior vice president and head of digital health, talked with CNET's Vanessa Hand Orellana about the company's plans around its wearables, which are geared toward personalized coaching, monitoring signs of aging and a new blood analysis feature you can use right from your wrist, no needle necessary. The update is part of a broader push to help people fend off chronic illness. But Pak didn't give away everything. It's unclear how many watches Samsung will launch. It could just be the Galaxy Watch 8, a follow up to last year's Watch 7. There could be a Galaxy Watch 8 Classic and also a new color for the Galaxy Watch Ultra. The watches are getting larger batteries, according to a report by SammyGuru. Blass shared leaked photos for three watches: the Watch 8 and its squaricle design, the Watch 8 Classic with its rotating bezel (which I am a big fan of) and an updated version of the Galaxy Watch Ultra. There's no word on pricing, but it's great to see Samsung really transform its watches with more of these wellness and health features. Galaxy Unpacked final thoughts Here is last year's Galaxy Z Fold 6. Lisa Eadiccico/CNET Most of what I've talked about here is based on rumors and leaks, and until Samsung actually announces products, none of this is for certain. Also, it'll be curious to see if there are any updates (even if it's just software) announced for the Galaxy Ring or if Samsung will show off its Project Moohan headset. Remember, this is likely Samsung's last big event for the year and we'll be on top of all the announcements.

溫馨提示：Microsoft Authenticator 的密碼自動填充功能將於 7 月停止
如幾個月前預告的一樣，從 7 月起 Microsoft Authenticator 的密碼自動填充功能將無法使用，app 內儲存的支付資訊也會被一併刪除。待到 8 月，用家也不再能從 app 中存取密碼，Authenticator 亦不會保留未儲存的生成密碼。 根據微軟的計畫，自動填充功能會被逐漸轉移至 Edge 瀏覽器，使用者可在安裝 Edge 後同步密碼。如果不想使用 Edge，那只有麻煩一點將能匯出的數據轉到 Google 密碼管理工具、iCloud 鑰匙圈等別家服務了。值得一提的是，雖然自動填充功能停止，但用家仍可在 Microsoft Authenticator 裡透過指紋、面部辨識或 PIN 碼進行帳戶登入身份驗證。 緊貼最新科技資訊、網購優惠，追隨 Yahoo Tech 各大社交平台！ 🎉📱 Tech Facebook： 🎉📱 Tech Instagram： 🎉📱 Tech WhatsApp 社群： 🎉📱 Tech WhatsApp 頻道： 🎉📱 Tech Telegram 頻道：
