The App Store has something north of a bazillion apps lining its digital shelves, making it incredibly hard to find the good ones. Discovr Apps thinks it can help by drawing each app’s “family tree” of related apps. More »
Alright stargazers, listen up! You know that video you just watched above? Yeah, well that’s not terrible 1995-era CGI, it’s actually mind-blowing footage of the Martian moon, Phobos, passing by Jupiter in the distance. Credit goes to the insanely brainy folks over at the European Space Agency who captured 104 images of this special alignment on June 1st over a measly 68 seconds using their Mars Express probe. True, it does take a little bit of imagination to get the full sense of just how awe-inspiring this is, but consider this — the distance between Mars Express and Jupiter at the time of alignment comes in at 529 million kilometers. That’s about 329 million miles for those of you still not sufficiently impressed. Try doing that with your high-end DSLR.

For being an original member of the Open Handset Alliance, the organization Google helped assemble in order to have a small army to support Android, LG has been pretty quiet. Their first couple of Android devices were comparatively unsuccessful, in fact it seemed as though LG was only interested in serving the budget consumer. Then, […]

Zoosh. That may or may not be what an ultrasonic payment sounds like to a dolphin, but it is definitely the name of a new mobile wallet technology developed by Silicon Valley start-up, Naratte. While Google and other major players have focused on traditional radio-based NFC, Naratte has been quietly testing its ultrasound system instead, motivated by the fact that it can work on ordinary handsets without the need for specialized NFC circuitry. Two phones can “zoosh” each other using nothing but their built-in microphones and speakers, so long as they’re both running the necessary app. Moreover, Naratte claims that cash tills can be upgraded to hear the sweet jangle of ultrasonic cash for just $30 — around a third of the cost of installing radio-based NFC hardware. So who knows? The last time you came this close to ultrasound was probably just before you were born, but one day you might find yourself using it to buy diapers. Scary.Zoosh does mobile payments using ultrasound, no NFC chip required originally appeared on Engadget on Mon, 20 Jun 2011 16:19:00 EDT. Please see our terms for use of feeds.
