These images reveal the secrets behind Apple Watch retail displays

See full gallery on TechnoBuffalo

The Apple Watches you’ll find on display in Apple retail stores look and function just like regular models, but they are equipped with special straps that keep their batteries charged and prevent them from being stolen. New photos reveal exactly how they work.

Although you can’t buy an Apple Watch in-store yet, you can play around with one before deciding whether you should buy one. The ones you’ll find in Apple stores are fitted to a fancy stand alongside a built-in iPad mini, which displays information about the new wearable.

They’re also equipped with special straps that take advantage of the Watch’s hidden diagnostic port. An integrated Lightning connector keeps the device charged up all day while it’s on show, while the strap itself secures the Watch to its stand so it cannot be taken away.

“On the back of the display box is what appears to be either a Lightning port or USB-C connection,” 9to5Mac reports. “This implies that perhaps the box itself contains a battery that is charged every night and used to power the Watch and iPad for the next day.”

The Lightning connector on the Watch also marries it with the iPad mini, so that when you open an app on the Watch, the tablet automatically displays the appropriate information.

It’s incredibly clever, and it shows the lengths Apple goes to to present its devices to customers while giving them the freedom to try them out. With wearables in particular, it’s particularly important to see what they look like and how they feel before deciding whether you want to wear them.

Star Wars: Battlefront will not have classes

See full gallery on TechnoBuffalo When it comes time to pick your gear and weaponry in DICE’s upcoming relaunch of  Star Wars: Battlefront , you won’t be sifting through classes or class-specific stuff. That’s because the new  Battlefront has no class. I don’t mean that in a belch during dinner at a fancy restaurant kind of way, either. I mean you won’t be picking stuff like Engineer, Assault or Support before you roll onto the battlefield. In an interview with OXM , as summed up by the magazine’s sister site  Games Radar , Design Director Niklas Fegraeus indicated that classes are out. You’ll be able to pick and choose between unlocked weapons and gear freely and build to your own style. Furthermore, Fegraeus also indicated that  Battlefront will not feature the five-person squad feature that  Battlefield  offers. Instead, players will run as partners, a group of two system that lets players stick together, appear on one another’s HUDs and spawn besi...

Grandia II confirmed for an HD re-release on Steam

See full gallery on TechnoBuffalo GungHo Entertainment of America apparently has the results of its recent customer survey , and Grandia II  is the lucky winner scoring the first HD remaster out of it. The report comes to us through GameSpot where the company claims that the game was given “enthusiastic” support. Grandia II was originally released on the Dreamcast in 2000 to quite a large amount of fanfare, and it arguably remains the second most popular RPG on the console after Skies of Arcadia . I played the PlayStation 2 version in 2002 way back when, and I wasn’t too impressed. However, the Grandia franchise is also home to that classic style of JRPG storytelling that only gets better with age. Maybe I’ll have to dedicate some time to this cult classic whenever GungHo gets around to publishing it. President of GungHo America Jun Iwasaki chimed in on the response. “With the rise of digital downloads, it is especially important that classic g...

Exec behind “Next Big Thing” campaign has departed Samsung

Samsung Mobile CMO, Todd Pendleton, has reportedly departed the company, according to CNET . Pendleton is credited with creating Samsung’s famous “Next Big Thing” campaign, which took aim at the company’s rivals while highlighting the benefits of its own mobile lineup. The ads were smart, terse, and ultimately helped raise the awareness of Samsung’s brand as a major smartphone maker here in the U.S. It’s unclear why Pendleton left, but it’s being reported that Samsung executives became dissatisfied with the campaign’s recent success, even going so far as auditing the mobile division’s Dallas headquarters. It seems you can only use the Next Big Thing tagline so many times; the commercials have taken a decidedly different turn over the past few months, focusing on design, functionality and features rather than bashing Samsung competitors. The timing, I suppose, seems appropriate given that Samsung has just unveiled two new flagships, the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge. Samsung is clearly ...
