Spinal injuries are often life-changing, and the solutions are decidedly archaic, sometimes involving surgical cement and screws. The future is finally upon us, however, and with it comes the first implanted 3D printed vertebra. Using 3D printing, the vertebra is designed to match the patient’s spine. A 12-year-old boy in China has been the first recipient of a 3D-printed vertebra, … Continue reading
When it comes to viewing adult videos, it makes sense for it to be viewed on the computer because presumably your computer will have a larger screen and maybe better speakers. However at the same time we guess there are some people out there who don’t mind viewing it on their mobile devices.
Well have you ever wondered which platform might have a higher preference for viewing porn on their phones or tablets? Well according to a recent infographic released by Pornhub, it turns out that Android devices are in the majority, although in all fairness it seems that iOS devices aren’t too far behind.
As you can see in the infographic above, Android devices take up the largest slice of the pie at 48.34%. iOS comes in second at 40.6%, with Windows Phone at 2.3% and BlackBerry devices at 1.81%. Interestingly enough the infographic has a separate section for Samsung at 1.19%. Given that Samsung’s handsets and devices are mostly Android, we’re not sure what is that supposed to mean.
However as far as tablets are concerned, it looks like Apple is the clear winner at a whopping 77.38%. Android comes in at a distant second at 21.5%, followed by BlackBerry at 0.6% and Windows at 0.38%. So, what do you guys make of the stats? Pretty interesting, huh?

We have heard the stories where a careless post on Facebook or Twitter have landed a person in trouble, and we guess to a certain extent it is to be expected since it’s public and anyone can see what you have written. However oddly enough it seems that one mother’s Facebook status update has resulted in her son being expelled from his preschool.
According to the reports, Ashley Habat had recently posted on her Facebook about how her son’s school did not give enough notice about picture day. While Habat claims her post was private, it seems that she tagged the school in her post, although we can’t be sure if this was on purpose or by accident.
Following the post, she was told the next day by school administrators that the school would not be a good fit for her son. It seems that the school was not pleased by Habat’s use of social media to air her grievances regarding the school. They claimed that Habat “utilized social media to call into question not only the integrity but the intelligence of our staff. … These actions are also consistent with sowing discord, which is spoken of in the handbook you signed.”
Some believe that Habat is to blame since she did tag the school in her post, although some think that it is unfair that her son had to be the one to suffer the consequence of Habat’s post. According to a post by Lisa Fogarty on TheStir, “I feel awful for her little boy — it’s terrible to rip him away from his friends and teacher because of a dumb thing his mother wrote on Facebook.” What do you guys think?

Are wearables the next big thing in technology? Well at the rate companies are releasing their smartwatches and fitness bands, it would certainly seem to suggest that the wearable revolution is upon us. However understandably there are some who remain a bit skeptical, at least of the current landscape.
Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak appears to be one of them and according to a conversation he had with CNET, Wozniak stated that he believes that wearables are a hard sell to customers. “They are go-betweens for your smartphone but are an extra piece and need special advantages that the smartphone doesn’t have, in my opinion. If they are just a Bluetooth go-between then it could wind up in the category of Bluetooth headsets: Fun to wear and show off for a day.”
However interestingly enough, Wozniak seems to think that if anyone can truly make it work, it would be Apple. Given that Wozniak has been openly critical of some of Apple’s decisions in the past, it is safe to say that he isn’t playing favorites.
According to Wozniak, “Apple works very hard to produce exceptionally great products and doesn’t quickly release things like a wearable. So if one is introduced I expect it to have a chance to set the direction and make the product category finally viable.” Either way we guess we’ll have to wait and see if Apple can truly surprise us all with the iWatch, so do check back with us on the 9th of September for the details!

So we guess it’s not really a secret that Apple will most likely be introducing the iPhone 6 at their event which will be held on the 9th of September. However could Apple be unveiling both the 4.7-inch iPhone and the 5.5-inch iPhone? Well according to a recent report from Chinese website, IT168 Mobile (via Cult of Mac), the latter iPhone 6 will not be making an appearance.
They claim that Apple will only announce the 4.7-inch model and will most likely be introducing an 8GB iPhone 5s which is meant to replace the iPhone 5c as the more “affordable” model in the iPhone lineup. Now given that IT168 Mobile doesn’t really have a track record when it comes to Apple rumors, we’re not sure what to make of their claims.
However as is with the case with rumors, you should probably take it with a grain of salt for now. It would be odd if Apple were to announce the 5.5-inch model at a later date because it does seem like a quick and easy way to get customers angry at you. Now we have heard rumors that the 5.5-inch iPhone could be delayed due to production issues.
At the same time we guess it would make sense for Apple to announce the phone first and ramp up production with a slightly later release, kind of like what they did with the new Mac Pro. In any case we guess we’ll learn more on the 9th of September so if you were eyeing the 5.5-inch iPhone, check back with us then to see if there are any additional details to be had!

A couple of days ago, Google announced that they had released a stable version of their 64-bit version of Chrome for Windows computers. Well the good news is that if you’re a Mac user and you’re looking to take advantage of the 64-bit Chrome, you’re in luck because in a recent post by Google, they have announced the release of the beta build for 64-bit Chrome for Mac.
As expected with the 64-bit Chrome for Mac,it will come with the same speed and security improvements that Google implemented in the Windows version. According to Google, “In cases where Chrome was the last remaining 32-bit app, there were launch-time and memory-footprint penalties as 32-bit copies of all of the system libraries needed to be loaded to support Chrome. Now that Chrome’s a 64-bit app too, we expect you’ll find that it launches more quickly and that overall system memory use decreases.”
However Google notes that first-gen Intel Macs will not be able to get in on the 64-bit fun, which we guess is fair enough since their computers are pretty old. At the same time Google won’t be abandoning its users and has reminded those users that there the stable version of Chrome 37 is still available for download.
In any case if you don’t mind taking the beta version of a 64-bit Chrome for Mac for a spin, you can do so by heading on over to the Beta Channel on Google’s website for the download. No word on when the stable version will be released, but considering the Windows version was released a month after its beta, hopefully the OS X version will follow in their footsteps as well.

Come IFA 2014, HTC is expected to take the wraps off a new 64-bit Android handset which presumably is the HTC Desire 820. HTC has teased the existence of the device and now thanks to a teaser image uploaded by Qualcomm on their Twitter account, it more or less confirms what we have been hearing all this while.
The image of the phone used by Qualcomm seems to be the same one used by HTC, so presumably they are talking about the same device. Now it would not be correct to say that the HTC Desire 820 will be the first 64-bit phone from HTC – after all HTC did announce the HTC Desire 510 a couple of days ago.
However if the rumors are true, the HTC Desire 820 will sport a much more powerful 64-bit processor. As it stands the HTC Desire 510 runs on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 processor which is a 64-bit chipset, but with the Desire 820, HTC could be turning to the Snapdragon 615 chipset instead.
Also unlike the quad-core Snapdragon 410, the Snapdragon 615 is said to be of the octa-core variety with four Cortex-A53 cores clocked at 1.8GHz, and four Cortex-A53 cores clocked at 1GHz. In any case we guess we will learn more during IFA 2014 which is kicking off next week, so stay tuned for more updates!

Sploid reader Marius Vibe merged eight of the most beautiful women in the world into a single person. The final result is intriguing, but the best part is the process itself—and the intermediate morphs. Who is more beautiful—the originals, the intermediate mixes, or the merging of them all?
In 1982, irrepressibly goofy comedian Steve Martin starred in Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid, a film noir with a whole cast of cinematic heavy hitters. Humphrey Bogart! Cary Grant! Bette Davis! Veronica Lake! All these stars helped popularize the dark genre, but this black-and-white was a affectionately silly spoof, with a twist; each of those big-name cameos was edited in from clips of their old performances.
Today, we take a look at the LG G Watch R, catch Schrödinger’s cat, learn about Apple’s next iPhone event, uncover the science behind the traveling stones of Death Valley, and more! Read on for Engadget’s news highlights from the last 24 hours.
