NEW - Tech: New Earbuds, a Robot Film, and Toy Story in Hospital Beds

Kris Abel, tech and entertainment commentator at krisabel.com, covers three things this week that actually earned the attention. The Sennheiser Accentum Clip launches July 23rd in Canada, before the US gets it, at $270. It clips around the ear instead of hoping your ear canal cooperates, combines broadcast-grade Sennheiser audio quality with situational awareness, and has a design borrowed from ear piercing culture that looks genuinely different from anything else on the market. Disney launched Toy Story 5 in theatres and in four hundred children's hospitals on the same day. Patients got access to the film from their beds, received themed tech toys tied to the film's storyline, and got personal video messages from the cast recorded at the Hollywood premiere. The piracy concern that blocked this kind of access for years finally gave way. Taika Waititi's Clara and the Sun hits theatres October 23rd. Jenna Ortega plays a humanoid robot companion. The question of whether you'd want your robot to look like a robot or a person comes up. The answer is more interesting than expected.
