whoops that so-called blind sale of the one plus three wasn't so blind at all we were a bit dubious when one plus announced that their latest promo stunts would be encouraging their fans to buy the one plus three sight unseen the company created a quote blind sale meaning users could purchase the device without ever laying eyes on it starting june six however the phone wouldn't be revealed until June fourteenth meaning customers were essentially buying a black box and being asked to trust one plus with a design but that's all a moot point now because opal mark currently has the device proudly displayed in their store with a price tag of 369 dollars u.s. and a listing that says it's currently out of stock thanks to a tipster who let us know about the post even the most fanatical 1 plus fan won't have to take a leap of faith before forking over the cash for 1 plus 3 early you'll notice that there is a price difference from the 2999 one or four hundred fifty five dollars us that the blind sale participants would have paid so we assume that as per the terms of the promo any participants will be reimbursed the difference the open Mart listing also shows the smartphone specs but we were already well aware of these at Snapdragon 820 4 or 6 gigabytes of ram 32 or 64 gigabytes of on-board storage at 5.5 inch full HD amoled 3,000 milliamp hour battery and a 16 megapixel rear cam and in other news google is making it possible to securely stop AI robots from causing harm worried about a robot apocalypse some may think this is nothing to worry about but it is true that a self-learning intelligent machine will not be perfect even if they turn out not to turn evil and not want to take over the world chances are there will be times that these AI robots may make harmful decisions this is why mother Google is creating a safe way to interrupt these actions the Google own company called deep mine specializes in AI research and is in charge of this study think of it as a kill switch of source this system would allow people to stop self learning machines from doing harm to themselves people or their environment this framework makes it so a human operator can easily and safely interrupt whatever an AI robot is doing and because these agents can also learn deep mine is making sure that an AI robot can't learn to prevent such an interruption in essence disobeying you would be one of the very few things these AI agents can't learn well at least so deep mine claims and I know that you I robot fans are already thinking those of you who were fans of the Nexus 6p will be happy to know that a huawei executive says that they are doing the Nexus again this year the general manager for huawei's consumer business group in South Africa told gear burn that quote we are doing the Nexus again this year by the way while most rumors have pointed to HTC being the 2016 Nexus partner for both the high-end p and the more affordable ex Nexus devices these latest statements throw those rumors for a loop now this is not the first time we've heard that Huawei could be behind this year's high and Nexus but it is the first time we've heard it directly from a hallway executive of course this may be referring to something else like a tablet for example but whatever she meant it certainly adds a nice spin to the accepted state of affairs that HTC is making the 2016 Nexus codenamed marlin and sailfish what do you guys think you
