Boeing Co, best know for creating jets and fighter planes, has announced on Wednesday that it will be releasing its own secure smartphone targeting the US defense and security communities. Boeing stated that they had identified a need for agencies to have secure data communications that current devices on the market have not met.
The Boeing Black Smartphone will run on Google’s Android operating system and contain multiple features to maintain secure data storage and communications with the most significant of those being a self-destruct feature. Any attempt to break into the device case, according to Bruce Olcott of Boeing’s council, will trigger functions that will delete all data and software on the device leaving in inoperable.
According to a product card released by Boeing the device will have a 4.2 inch display and dual SIM supported bands for LTE, WCDMA and GSM. It will also communicate via Bluetooth, but interestingly no mention of WiFi. It will have on board storage as well as a microSD expansion slot and dual 1.2 GHz ARM Cortex-A9 CPUs.
No word at this point on carriers or the exact price and release date, but it is likely not too far off based on the amount of details released this week.
Ian McGregor lost his entire leg to a cancerous tumor, but he’s lucky to be alive thanks to a weird, never-before-attempted 18-hour surgical procedure: First doctors removed his calf and attached it to his arm to keep it alive during the tumor and leg amputation. Then they used the calf to fix the huge hole that resulted from the operation.

A touch scary?

Thanks to technology, the world is becoming a darker place.
No, I’m not suggesting that we’re becoming less and less enlightened, as we sacrifice our minds to the robots.
Instead, I’m merely indicating that we will soon not be able to see that thing we currently call the sky.
There’ll be Jeff Bezos’s drones flying around all day, delivering dictionaries and diapers to the distressed. There’ll be journalistic drones all around, capturing every aerial detail of multiple car crashes.
And then there’ll be the HAV 304 Airlander, which is so large that it will block the view of several planets as it waddles through the heavens.
I confess I hadn’t heard of this plane before the Telegraph told me it was the world’s largest aircraft.
Indeed, when you look at the promotional video above, it’s got massive green credentials, can fly for three weeks, and is a marvelous hybrid of airship, plane, and helicopter.
It’s 300 feet long and doesn’t need an airport to take off. Yes, if you have a large garden, it can take off from it.
