Congressman asks NASA scientist about ancient Martian civilizations, and things get awkward
by Guest Mike Wehner- 0 replies
- 18 views
Being an elected official means that you should probably have a working knowledge of whatever topic it is you're planning to publicly address at any given time. Many government talking heads fall far short of that requirement on a regular basis, and the latest example is Rep. Dana Rohrabacher of California. At a congressional meeting with some of NASA's top scientists to discuss the prospects of further exploration of planets and moons in our Solar System, Rohrabacher asked a question that would seemingly have been more fitting in the wake of the 1938 radio broadcast of The War of the Worlds. Rohrabacher asked about martians. Continue reading... Trending right now: …

Just over a year after launching Pokemon Go, developer Niantic is finally preparing to unleash Legendary Pokemon into the real world. This Tuesday, the Pokemon Go team published a blog post announcing a new update for the game, which is set to roll out this week. The details weren't all that exciting, but as always, the Pokemon Go community was quick to tear the update apart to see what was inside. What they found will have fans of the game as excited as they've been since Generation 2 arrived. Continue reading...

Cop accidentally frames himself planting drugs on body camera footage
by Guest Chris Mills- 0 replies

Baltimore news outlets have published body cam video from a supposed drug bust back in January. The video appears to show a cop planting drugs in a trash pile, before going back to the road, activating his body camera, and "finding" the drugs that supposedly belonged to a suspect. The cop was using a model of body cam that constantly captures and buffers footage, so that when you press the record button, it saves the previous 30 seconds of footage. Continue reading...

Our worst iPhone 8 nightmare came true in these new leaked photos
by Guest Jacob Siegal- 0 replies
- 20 views
With the 10th anniversary of the iPhone approaching, there was never any doubt the lead-up to the launch of the iPhone 8 was going to be a circus. Somehow, the past few months have been even more dramatic than we expected, with leaks flooding on to the internet at a breakneck pace and rumors about a delay and a massive price bump swirling. But the most worrisome developments so far have been the purported photos and renders of the phone itself, which features a few an odd design quirks. The jagged bezel that juts into the top of the display caught our eye right away when it started to appear in leaks, but as bad as it looks, a new leak suggests it might be the least of…

SpaceX plans to relaunch a rocket just 24 hours after it lands
by Guest Mike Wehner- 0 replies

SpaceX, the pioneering force behind reusable rocket technology, has already proven to the world that single-use rockets will one day be a thing of the past, but the company clearly isn't done honing its recovery and refurbishing techniques. Head man, and possible future super hero sent back in time to usher humanity into a new technological golden age, Elon Musk revealed his company's plans for the immediate future of its first stage rocket reuse program. It seems that Musk has some seriously insane plans for shortening the turnaround between a rocket's launch recovery and its subsequent flights, and he wants the whole process to take less than 24 hours.

Fishermen snag monstrous 18-foot squid, and it’s somehow only a baby
by Guest Mike Wehner- 0 replies
- 12 views
You probably won't find many people who envy the daily grind of professional fishermen who spend their day trawling the depths. It's a messy, oftentimes dangerous job that offers no guarantees, and for every man who makes his fortune from a fishing net there seems to be just as many who come up empty handed. All that being said, if you choose to dedicate your life to taming the ocean, every once in a while you'll get to see a real life sea monster, like the one caught by the crew of the Cú na Mara off the coast of Ireland this week.

Amazon’s deal of the day drops Sony’s ultra-slim sound bar to its lowest price ever
by Guest Maren Estrada- 0 replies
- 16 views
In terms of both design and overall value, the Sony HTCT390 Ultra-slim Sound Bar with Bluetooth is probably the best sound bar solution ever to come out of Sony's labs. This slim sound bar packs big sound into a surprisingly slender design, and the included wireless subwoofer completes the package with full, deep bass. This is definitely one of the best sound solutions in this price range — especially today, since device's price range is lower than it has ever been before. Grab one by the end of the day, and you'll only pay $119.99 thanks to Amazon's deal of the day. Here are some highlights from the product page: Connect and stream music easily with Bluetooth and …

Woman caught with 102 iPhones strapped to her body in brazen smuggling attempt
by Guest Mike Wehner- 0 replies
- 19 views
Getting a single smartphone through a metal detector at a customs gate is virtually impossible — they're built specifically to spot such items, after all — so anyone attempting to sneak 102 iPhones through a security checkpoint is obviously going to have a pretty bad time. That's exactly what happened to one unlucky smuggler in Shenzhen, China, and according to the reports of her arrest, she wasn't exactly all that hard to spot. Continue reading...

With just a couple of months remaining before the inevitable release of the iPhone 8, Apple rolled out iOS 10.3.3 for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch on Wednesday. While the update itself is little more than a collection of bug fixes and security improvements, there's a chance that this could be the last major iOS 10 update with iOS 11 deep in development and set to release to the public in September.

Google rolls out new security measures to prevent reprise of Google Docs phishing scam
by Guest Yoni Heisler- 0 replies
- 23 views
Earlier this year, a nasty and somewhat sophisticated phishing scam targeting Google users began spreading rapidly. The phishing campaign worked by sending unsuspecting users a message indicating that someone from within their contacts list had shared a Google Doc with them. An accompanying link would then whisk users away to an actual sign-in page from Google whereby they were then prompted to authorize a fake app masquerading as "Google Docs." Once authorized, the folks behind the campaign were able to attain access to a user's emails and contact list and cause all sorts of harm. Continue reading...

Analyst agrees that the iPhone 8 will be absurdly expensive
by Guest Chris Smith- 0 replies

With two months to go until Apple unveils this year’s iPhones, we think we know plenty of things about the iPhone 8 and iPhone 7s models hitting stores this year. The design is probably final by now, and Apple is preparing for mass production. But the iPhone 8 will likely see mild-to-significant delays, depending on who you ask, as production issues for certain components are still problematic. However, everyone agrees that the iPhone 8 will be Apple’s most expensive phone ever. In fact, it might cost a full extra iPhone SE more the iPhone 7s, according to a new forecast.

Google Glass was one of Google’s most exciting projects when it launched, but it was a pretty short-lived experiment. It was awkward, without purpose, and ended up on ban lists across the country over privacy concerns. It was a cool device that never really found a home with consumers.
