The Morning After: An 8K TV, a throne and what is meat, really?

Hey, good morning! You look fabulous.

The IFA 2018 momentum continues to build, and we've already seen some slick new devices, like laptops with even less bezel than Dell's XPS and Samsung's new 8K TV. Still, there's news happening outside Berlin, as Missouri answers the question of "what is meat?" and Mr. Robot is coming to an end.

(FYI: If you'd prefer to get this in your inbox six days a week and of course you do, we have good news -- after a short break email signups are open again.)

What's next, "and chill"?Netflix backs away from 'binge watching'

In an interview on Empire Film Podcast, Guy Pearce said that Netflix banned him from using the term while promoting his new series The Innocents. Plus, a quick Twitter search shows the brand's reduced use of the term over the last year or so.

Look out, XPS.ASUS' new ZenBooks have the bezels 2018 demands

For IFA this year, ASUS has updated its original ZenBook line with not only Intel's new Whiskey Lake U-series processors but also a new four-sided near-frameless design with up to 95 percent screen-to-body ratio. It claims the 13-inch model is the world's most compact laptop at that size, besting even Dell's XPS 13. Better yet, ASUS has built backlit NumberPad into the trackpad and even squeezed the webcam in above the screen to avoid annoying nostril shots on conference calls.

Real subtle name there.Acer's Predator Thronos is a cockpit masquerading as gaming chair

We mentioned Acer's Thronos gaming chair in yesterday's email, but now that we've gone butt-on you can check out our video of the experience. At its core, the Thronos is really just a fancy recliner with vibration and a huge monitor mount ready for up to three 27-inch screens.

This Q900R unveiled at IFA loses the easel-like design of the CES concept for a more traditional stand but it packs in many of the same features, including a real 8K resolution and AI-powered upscaling. It will come in four sizes: 65-, 75-, 82- and 85-inches, when it goes on sale somewhere at the end of September. As far as a price, we don't know, but if you have to ask...

Expect to see it in about two weeks.Google's Wear OS no longer feels like Android on a smartwatch

With the third major release of its wearable platform (and the first since rebranding to Wear OS), Google finally shows an understanding that what people want from a smartwatch is not a phone replacement. Dennis Troper, director of product for Wear OS, told Engadget that his team focused on three key areas when redesigning the platform: helping people remain connected, providing proactive help from Google Assistant and enabling people to lead healthier lives.

Notification cards are smaller, the redesigned Google Fit is easier to access and this new software should roll out to just about every smartwatch that already runs Wear OS 2.0
