Hasta La Gadget!

With the introduction of the Samsung Galaxy S6 and the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, it showed that Samsung was headed in an interesting and new direction in terms of design and features, which is why it does not come as a surprise to learn that apparently Samsung has managed to ship over 10 million Galaxy S6 handsets to date.

This is according to Korean news outlet Yonhap News who claims that the combined shipping of both the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge have crossed the 10 million mark in terms of shipping. However we should note that this is just shipments and as we know, the amount of phones shipped is different from the amount of phones actually sold.

However it does indicate that there is a lot of demand for the handset so whether or not Samsung actually sold all 10 million handsets it’s still pretty impressive. That being said a report from last month revealed that the South Korean tech giant was actually planning on raising their sales estimates from 50 million to 70 million this year, and shipping 10 million units seems like a pretty good start.

In the meantime there are rumors floating about the Samsung could be thinking about launching the Galaxy Note 5 a little earlier than expected. We can’t be sure if that will affect the sales of Galaxy S6 handsets but for those longing for a larger display, the Galaxy Note 5 could be the device to watch out for.

A report from last month revealed that Nokia was reportedly interested in selling off its HERE Maps division. So far we have heard rumors that a variety of companies are interested in the technology, ranging from your usual tech giants such as Apple and Google, to German carmakers, and even companies such as Uber who might find the technology beneficial.

That being said it seems that we can now add Microsoft to that list. This is according to a recent report from Bloomberg which revealed that Microsoft is apparently interested in Nokia’s HERE Maps technology as well. However instead of buying the company outright, Microsoft is said to be more interested as a minority shareholder. Microsoft’s reported interest in the company is intriguing as it was only last year that the sale of Nokia’s cellphone division to Microsoft was officially completed.

In the meantime the report also adds that other companies such as China’s Baidu are also reportedly interested in acquiring Nokia’s HERE Maps. It certainly sounds like this is heating up to be quite a hotly contested piece of technology but who gets to walk away with it is still pretty much up in the air, but hopefully it won’t be too long until we have a clear answer.

The national’s capital isn’t just leading our government — it’s setting the standard for fitness, too. According to the latest American Fitness Index, Washington, D.C. is the most fit city in the country, retaining its title for a second year in a row.

So, how is fitness measured? Researchers from the American College of Sports Medicine took at look at obesity, smoking and diabetes rates, plus community and environmental factors that play a substantial role in providing access to better health. The survey answers the question, “I want to be physically active and healthy — does my environment or the community in which I live support my desire to be healthy?” according to Walter R. Thompson, an AFI advisory board member.

The report looks at data for the 50 largest metropolitan statistical areas in the United States. This year is the first time it has included a look at what percentage of a city’s population lives within a 10-minute walk of a park space. The main finding: The top-ranked cities have the most accessible parks.

“For example, 95 percent of the population in Washington, D.C. lives within a 10-minute walk to a park. On the other end of the spectrum, [in] Indianapolis, which is 50th on our list, only 31 percent live within a 10-minute walking distance of a park.” Thompson told The Huffington Post. “Another consideration is how much funding goes to parks. In Washington, D.C., the city spends $287 per person per year on parks. Indianapolis only spends $24 per person per year on parks. All of our top ranked cities all spend more money on parks than our lowest ranked cities.”

2015 didn’t look quite as good as 2014 fitness-wise, unfortunately. The AFI saw an 11.3 percent drop in the number of people who exercised within the last 30 days, and a 7.8 percent increase in diabetes and death rates.

But hey, at least D.C. is doing well. And so is California. Check out which cities made the top 10 below:

Twenty-five is a milestone birthday. You have reached a point where you’re an adult, a real adult, who pays taxes, worries about health insurance and can rent a car on a whim. Of course you don’t have everything figured out — and that’s a good thing — but getting through your teens and early twenties means you’ve picked up some wisdom along the way.

So, we asked our Facebook community: “What do you know now that you’re 25 or over that you might not have known when you were younger?”

There’s a lot of debate about what makes a great chocolate chip cookie. Chewy vs. crisp, small vs. the size of your head. Some folks believe that it is the chocolate chips themselves that make for an inferior cookie, touting the virtues of chopped chocolate instead, which melts into the cookie dough. Others remain true to the classic chip.

We rest firmly in the middle.

Sometimes, chocolate chips make for an unforgettable cookie — like the 22 recipes right here — but sometimes chocolate chunks are where it’s at (for example, when you need loads of chocolate). These 15 recipes below are proof of that.
