When we talk about smartwatches, it’s normally devices that either work with your phone, or seek to replace them altogether. That’s not the approach taken by Phosphor, which recruited former Nike designer Stefan Andrén to craft a model that’s…
Samsung Russia’s Twitter account has announced that the company is gearing up to launch a new “high-class” device yesterday. The announcement reads that “Such a thing hasn’t happened before!,” its certainly meant to spark our curiosity. It isn’t immediately clear what this new device is going to be, the teaser itself has just one subtle hint that doesn’t reveal anything major about the device itself.

Its no longer surprising to see major manufacturers launch “mini” versions of their flagship smartphones. Samsung has been doing it for years, and even LG and HTC joined the party last year. Rumor has it that major Chinese manufacturer Oppo is looking to jump on this bandwagon as well. It launched the Oppo N1 last year, a flagship smartphone with a gigantic 5.9 inch display. Apparently now it is developing a 5-inch Oppo N1 mini.

Removing unwanted body hair has been a part of human hygiene since the dawn of history. Over the centuries, this practice has served to denote everything from high-ranking social status to acts of contrition. And as the tradition of shaving has evolved in step with global culture, so too have the tools of the trade.

Another day and another Smartwatch… less than a month after MWC, where numerous wearable devices were launched, Motorola just unveiled its own Smartwatch, powered by Android Wear, also announced today.
We have received the information this morning and Motorola is sharing absolutely no information about the specifications, the exact availability date and the price. According to the dedicated website, the moto 360 will be available “this summer”.
From the official blog post and what we learned this morning about Android Wear, we know that users will be able to activate voice commands by saying “Ok Google”, to ask for a game score, a flight schedule, to set up an appointment in the calendar, to write a text message or a note or to set the alarm clock.

It seems like we can’t go a week these days without hearing about some new startup making a new 3D printer that wants to be better and cheaper than everything else.
MadeSolid, a YC-backed company out of Emeryville, CA, is going after the 3D printing market from the other end: they want to fix the materials we 3D print with. Read More

Let’s just put it this way, the National Security Agency, or NSA for short, has not exactly been the darling government organization to date. Unfortunately for us, the ‘Big Brother’ role that the NSA plays has raised the ire of many a citizen due to privacy issues. In fact, it has been reported that the NSA has already developed a surveillance system which is capable of recording “100 percent” of a foreign country’s telephone calls. This would prove to be a unique engineering triumph on the proverbial (and real) battlefield, as it allows the NSA to rewind and review conversations for up to a month since these conversations happened.

This moss core was taken from near the surface.

It sounds like the next purposefully bad SyFy channel production: “Zombie moss! It came from beneath the Antarctic!” Researchers pulled up a sample of moss that had been sitting frozen for the last 1,500 years. Remarkably, it came back to life and started to grow again. This isn’t quite the same as an unfrozen caveman lawyer, but it’s pretty cool.
The moss sample came from a frozen core extracted from a moss bank in the Antarctic. It was sliced and placed in an incubator set to maintain normal light and temperature conditions geared for growth. A few weeks later, the sample began to grow. Carbon dating places the age of the moss at at least 1,530 years old.
“This experiment shows that multi-cellular organisms, plants in this case, can survive over far longer timesc… [Read more]
