Everyone has been talking about Jaguar since its controversial rebrand video went live on YouTube a couple of weeks ago. While this campaign got caught up in fractious political debate, it was just a 30-second video, and the real test would be the unveiling of the car itself. Finally, that time has arrived, as the prototype car has made its debut at Miami Art Week on Monday evening.The Jaguar Type 00 has been unveiled at Miami Art Week.JaguarUnfortunately, some publications broke Jaguars NDA and leaked the concept images on Monday morning. Its a sign of how much attention the launch is getting that these publications were willing to risk their relationship with JLR over concept drawings. There has been huge anticipation for the new cars arrival, which entails Jaguar ceasing all production of its internal combustion engine vehicles, then producing no cars at all until its EV arrives on the market in late 2025.Enter The Jaguar Type 00The new EV is called the Type 00 implying a complete reset after the lettered Type Jaguars of the previous era (C-Type, D-Type, E-Type, F-Type). According to Jaguar, the zeros mean more than just an alphanumeric reconstruction. The first zero refers to zero tailpipe emissions, with the second meaning that this is first in the line of new Jaguar EVs. The car will be based on a new all-electric platform called the Jaguar Electric Architecture, which is not what was used for the popular I-Pace. Parent company JLR has been investing billions in its EV transition, putting its money where its mouth is regarding electrification.The front (shown here in concept art) is very angular.JaguarThe Type 00 will be targeting a range of 478 miles (WLTP) and 430 miles (EPA), with the ability to replenish 200 miles of range in 15 minutes of charging. JLR is working with Fortescues battery and charging specialists Elysia to make good on this. Elysia is a company with technology that can charge 264-ton mining trucks at 2MW, so this is no empty promise. Jaguars continuing dominance of Formula E also raises hopes that the new Type 00 will be an electric GT that can deliver class-leading performance.MORE FROMFORBES VETTEDBut what about the physical design of the car? There have been mixed reactions to the leaked images, with some claiming it is the ugliest vehicle theyve ever seen, while others appreciate the bold departure from Jaguars of ages gone by. This is no E-Type restomod, although the long front does hark back a little in that direction, as does the sloping back. Otherwise, the angles are sharp. The earlier brand relaunch claimed to Copy Nothing, and while the angularity is heavily in line with contemporary car design, the new car looks like no Jaguar that went before.Not sure what this is for. Built-in laser weapons system?JaguarIt does have echoes of the direction Range Rover has been taking, but perhaps the most telling comparison is some of the designs coming out of China right now, such as the Huawei Maextro S800, which was also unveiled recently. The Jaguar design is much sleeker, lower, and classier than the Huawei, but you can bet Jaguar is hoping for plenty of sales in Chinas burgeoning luxury car market.One journalist described the Maextro as looking like someone put a Maybach, a Rolls and a Porsche in a blender, and that is also the level of customer Jaguar is now targeting. The E-Type essentially put Jaguar on the global map by being more beautiful than a contemporary Ferrari and just as fast at half the price. But generally, Jaguar has been a British alternative to BMW or Audi, and possibly Mercedes with its larger cars, rather than high-end luxury. Its sedans were infamously popular with gangsters and bank robbers. That image is being swept away, with the new Jaguar EV clearly aimed at high net worth individuals, or even the emerging ultra-high category. It could be in direct competition with the Rolls Royce Spectre.Jaguars New Luxury CustomerJaguars sales strategy will pivot in this direction too. The hubs for this will be exclusive brand stores around the world, rather than traditional dealerships, complemented by a wider global network of luxury retailers. The first brand store will be in Paris in the 8th Arrondissement where the citys fashion industry has its center. When you consider that Jaguar has chosen to launch the vehicle at Miami Art Week, where pieces start at six figures and go up from there, there is a clear departure in this market positioning.No luxury car is complete without doors that open upwards.JaguarThe design details are as ostentatious as you would expect for this intended customer, starting with fittingly gigantic 23in wheels. The doors open in butterfly fashion (because all premium cars must have doors that open upwards rather than outwards). The tailgate is described as a pantograph, which normally refers to the structure on top of an electric train to draw power from overhead cabling. But there are no pictures of this yet, so we dont yet know how this has been translated into a door leading to a vehicles rear cargo space.Inside, there is liberal use of brass, including a central 3.2m-long spine down the middle that separates twin dashboard screens. This looks like it would get in the way if the driver and passenger wanted to engage in a loving embrace, and there is no obvious evidence of cup holders. Where on earth will the occupants put their glasses of champagne?The use of brass is eye-catching, but where do you put your champagne?JaguarAfter the video launch a few weeks ago, a lot of the more dubious criticism revolved around the actors in the video. More valid concerns were expressed about the discontinuation of the growler big cat emblem and the font used for the Jaguar name. However, the feline branding is still evident, with the leaper images found on golden rectangles on the side, which deploy to reveal rear-facing cameras.Jaguar's color choices are likely to keep the controversy rolling.JaguarThe two unveiled color choices are sure to keep the anti-woke debate rolling, though. They are called Miami Pink and London Blue. Both have a pastel hue that is a million miles away from British Racing Green, which is what most people seem to think all British cars should be painted with. However, pink is a color associated with Miami, where the launch is taking place, and the blue echoes the Opalescent Silver Blue that was a hallmark of E-Type Jaguar sports cars in the 1960s.Jaguar Type 00: Triumph Or Travesty?Criticisms of the concept photos should be taken with a pinch of salt. The images officially released are design drawings rather than images of the real car. The car actually unveiled in Miami has slightly smoother lines, and the side profile is gobsmacking. Its a car that will grab as much attention on the road as the ad campaign has on social media. Ive seen this vehicle in camouflage covering at a test track, and it has also been shown in spy shots. Its an imposing vehicle, which makes a clear statement about its owner in a way that previous Jaguars since the E-Type havent.We won't be seeing the back of the Jaguar brand just yet.JaguarLike it or love it, the Jaguar Type 00 is a huge departure for the brand. Everyones eyes are on it. Maybe theres some E-Type in it, but its nothing like the fast sedans driven by shady characters that have been the hallmark of the brand for decades. Its also nothing like the mid-sized family F-Pace SUV, either. We will have to wait until later 2025 to find out if Jaguar can actually sell them to their intended customers. But the launch has definitely grabbed enough eyeballs to keep our attention.

Marc Hammond and the tiny owl he made famous on TikTok. Animal ExpertsAll over TikTok, users are imitating an owl, but not just any owl. Theyre mimicking one particular bird thats captivated the platform with its calm, unbothered reaction to the animal control expert holding it in now-viral video and talking about how excited he is to finally glimpse a tiny grayish-brown elf owl up close.This is the first time Ive ever seen one, Marc Hammond says in the video. Ive seen them in books and Ive seen them on television.What Are Elf Owls And Where Do They Live?Elf owls nocturnal birds that measure between 4.5 and 5.5 inches, about the size of a sparrow are native to the dry deserts of southwestern United States and northern Mexico and considered the worlds smallest owl species.Theyre very docile, Hammond, co-owner of Animal Experts Inc. Wildlife Services in Tucson, Ariz., says in the video. Theyre not threatening or aggressive like some of your bigger owls. The company handles wildlife that shows up in unexpected, and often unwelcome spaces, and frequently posts social media videos of its encounters featuring creatures like bobcats, wild boars, skunks, raccoons and rattlesnakes.Despite his 30-plus years working in animal care and control and retrieving hundreds of owls from chimneys, Hammonds enthusiasm at meeting the diminutive elf owl is abundantly clear. The owl itself, on the other hand, appears unimpressed. It blinks its round yellow eyes slowly as Hammond speaks, occasionally rotating its neck more than 180 degrees to patiently stare up at him with an expression that seems to say, Uh, are you done yet?MORE FROMFORBES VETTEDTikTok fans of the elf owl have flocked to recreate its slow, deliberate blinks and head turns set to an audio track of Hammonds narration. The video of Hammond and the owl first appeared on Facebook about a year ago. Since a digital marketing company that works with Animal Experts reposted it to TikTok last week, its been viewed more than 16 million times.Hammond admits he wasnt even familiar with TikTok until his 32-year-old stepson called a few days ago to tell him hed gone viral on the platform.I just got the biggest kick out of it, Hammond said in a phone interview. People kept saying he was giving me the stink eye. Hammond has even started his own TikTok account separate from the one for Animal Experts.Where Is Tik Toks Famous Elf Owl Now?Hammond retrieved the elf owl from a home in the Tucson suburb of Oro Valley last year after a woman called Animal Experts to report hearing noises in her attic. It turned out the owl had gotten caught in a vent leading up to the space.At first, Hammond thought hed retrieved a baby owl, but after a bit of googling, he soon realized otherwise.It didnt seem like it was doing well, Hammond recalled. Wildlife rehabilitation experts rehydrated the bird, making sure it was hale and hearty again before Animal Experts returned it to its natural habitat in the Sonora desert, a biodiverse area about 14 miles from the company.Elf owls typically nest in cavities, such as old woodpecker tree holes, that provide relief from heat and protection from rain and predators. TikToks most famous owl is presumably now perched in a cactus cavity, blissfully unaware that its sparked a TikTok trend. Even if did somehow catch wind of its online fame, it probably wouldnt shake a feather.

In context: SpyLoan apps are a recurring nuisance for Android users. Google tries to remove these malicious apps quickly. However, it's a never-ending fight with cybercriminals constantly returning to the popular mobile ecosystem with new social engineering tricks and security threats to scam users out of money. The mobile research team at McAfee recently detected a new SpyLoan campaign, with several apps designed to trick people into asking for quick loans. The analysts uncovered fifteen malicious Android SpyLoan apps, with a collective total of eight million downloads. Google has already removed the apps from the Play Store, but the SpyLoan threat will eventually researchers fully expect the malware to return.SpyLoan PUP (potentially unwanted programs) apps exploit social engineering tactics to try to collect sensitive user data. The apps masquerade as legit financial tools designed to loan users money after going through a rapid approval process. Users get less than the promised loan amount but must still repay the original sum in full, plus steep additional fees.Google removed the last batch of SpyLoan PUP apps in December 2023, when users downloaded over a dozen malicious apps 12 million times. The newest SpyLoan apps McAfee discovered target users in specific regions of the world, including Latin America, Southeast Asia, and Africa. The apps require validation through a one-time password, a trick the cyber-criminals use to confirm the apps were downloaded in one of the targeted regions.After the validation process, the apps ask users to provide a wide range of personal and sensitive information, including ID documents, employee information, and banking data. The apps also want to access the user's contact list, call logs, location, and more. Data exfiltration extends to all text messages, GPS location info, OS details, sensor logs, and other on-device information.McAfee said the bad actors use this data to harass and blackmail the victims. The criminals can go as far as sending death threats over delayed payments or calling family members to push their extortion attempts further. They will even resort to public shaming, which can significantly impact personal and professional relationships. // Related StoriesThe researchers say SpyLoan apps are designed to exploit users' trust and "financial desperation." Google should have enough security mechanisms to prevent SpyLoan apps from returning to the Android ecosystem, but the criminals are still doing business just fine. Asking for money through some second-rate smartphone app doesn't seem like the brightest idea, but as PT Barnum said, "There's a sucker born every minute," and that's precisely what keeps these apps alive.

Rumor mill: Rumors have long indicated that AMD aims to shrink Nvidia's lead in ray tracing performance with its next generation of discrete graphics cards. With both companies reportedly releasing new GPUs within weeks, new data suggests Team Red might put up a serious fight in the mid-range sector next year. A proven leaker from the Chiphell forums recently reported that an upcoming AMD RDNA4 graphics card substantially outperforms the company's current flagship in ray tracing while drawing less power. Furthermore, it will likely cost far less, with performance resembling competitor Nvidia's current high-end GPU.In a discussion concerning an upcoming AMD card, likely to be called the Radeon RX 8800 XT, leaker "zhangzhonghao" stated that its ray tracing performance surpasses the RX 7900 XTX by around 45 percent in the Resident Evil 4 Remake and other titles. We should note that Capcom's action horror remake only features ray-traced reflections, and the other games were unnamed, but the tipster described AMD's RT performance uplift as "epic."Radeon RX 6000 and 7000 GPUs have lagged behind Nvidia's GeForce RTX cards for years in games that heavily utilize ray tracing. One such title, Star Wars Outlaws, shows the RX 7900 XTX barely outpacing the RTX 4070, which is around $400 cheaper.In contrast, the RX 8800 XT matches the RTX 4080 and 4080 Super in traditional raster rendering and ray tracing, representing a dramatic improvement. It also consumes about 25 percent less power than the 7900 XTX, suggesting a TDP no higher than 270W. If zhangzhonghao's report proves accurate, it would align with an AMD data sheet that leaked earlier this year, which described new technology designed to boost RT performance in the company's future products.Inno3D, which sells Nvidia graphics cards, recently confirmed that Team Green plans to reveal its upcoming RTX 50 series at CES in January. Prior rumors suggested that AMD would reveal RDNA 4 at the event, launching the next generation of the GPU race. // Related StoriesIf the RX 8800 XT trades blows with the RTX 4080, the RTX 5070 might become its true rival. Pricing details remain unclear for both upcoming lineups, but history suggests AMD might have a slight advantage. Furthermore, a mysterious Geekbench entry hinted that the RX 8800 XT, presumably based on the Navi 48 GPU, features 16GB of VRAM, surpassing the 5070's rumored 12GB.The RX 8800 XT will likely be the top-ranked RDNA4 card, as AMD plans to focus on the mid-range and mainstream tiers for now. Intel is preparing to launch new GPUs targeting the mainstream market this week.

It looks great on its 18-inch QHD+ screen.When it comes to any purchase, its a smart move to immediately consider your budget. How much can you afford to spend on your new Alienware gaming laptop? Its possible to spend just $1,000, but its also possible to spend $3,000 or more, so its important to think about what you can afford so you dont get lured into spending more money than you need to.From there, think about the choices between AMD and Intel. Both make the best processors around, but its important to read up on the differences between the two. Other than that, stick with 16GB of RAM for the cheaper gaming laptops and 32GB or 64GB if you can afford it. Similarly, higher numbers with storage and the GeForce RTX graphics card is always wise.On a more personal level, think about what size screen you want. An 18-inch display looks fantastic but it makes the laptop bulky and not exactly portable. It also impacts battery life. Aim for a 14-inch display and its much more portable, but it wont look as good for that desktop replacement style experience. Only you really know what will work best for you. At least if you go with Alienware, youre getting something from one of the best gaming laptop brands.How we choose the best Alienware gaming laptop Cyber Monday deals is a little simpler than you might think. Thanks to Alienware making some of the best gaming laptops over the years, you cant go wrong with anything from the brand. That helps our decision making process as we only feature the best products here. Were talking laptops that you actually want to own and ones that we want to use too. These are the devices we would recommend to our loved ones.Alongside that, we also make sure that the price is right. Were looking out for the cheapest prices and the best value. Sometimes, the cheapest isnt ideal as you want to invest a little more to reap more RAM or storage and extend the longevity of your laptop purchase. We bear that in mind, which is why we feature a wide range of budgets here.Editors Recommendations
