- Tesla delivers first Model S a little early, EVs take a big step forward
Tesla had originally pegged the Model S’ first delivery for June 22nd. At least one owner, though, is getting an early treat: one of venture capital firm Draper Fisher Jurvetson’s namesake managing directors, Steve Jurvetson, just picked up his red-hued EV sedan in the San Francisco Bay Area. He can also rightfully claim to have the very first production Model S anywhere, as he’s since posted photographic proof on Flickr that his car was the earliest to have completed the factory run. The arrival is no doubt a milestone for taking purely electric cars into the mainstream. Even so, we’ll admit that we’re just hoping Jurvetson shares what it’s like to live with Tesla’s four-door — both out of curiosity as well as a vain attempt to live vicariously through someone who’s had more than a test drive.

While plenty of glossy or tactile goods have come to light at Computex this year, sometimes the chips, boards and internals need a little love too. Fresco Logic, for example, has unveiled what it claims is the world’s first USB 3.0 audio / video class display controller — the FL2000. Good news for Ultrabook and tablet manufacturers (and other display-based devices of course,) which can benefit from high-quality second display functionality without the need for additional video connectors. Time for another screen in your life, perhaps?

Caviar pays tribute to the Apple I, the original hand-built computer, with a custom iPhone 12
Everyone today is familiar with the sleek iPhones and all-aluminum Macs, but how many remember Apple’s first product – the Apple I? The computer was designed and hand-built by Steve Wozniak and it has a very DIY look. Of course, back then Apple Computer Inc was headquartered in the garage of Steve Jobs’ parents. Production of the Apple I was discontinued on September 30 1977 – 43 years ago, almost to the day – so Caviar decided to celebrate the moment of Apple’s inception with special editions of the upcoming iPhone 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max.

Tranya T10 truly wireless earphones review
The Tranya T10 are among the latest audio products from the Hong Kong-based brand. I reviewed the company's T3 TWS last year and found it to be quite good for the price.
