Scientists have developed a new way to create synthetic fossils in a single day, the University of Bristol has announced. A natural fossil is the byproduct of millions of years and certain environmental conditions, but man-made fossils are created in a lab using an artificial maturation process that simulates the real thing. A new experimental protocol for creating these synthetic … Continue reading
While notches and bezels and, recently, elevating cameras have been the recent obsessions of the smartphone market, there was a brief period when they were eclipsed by what seemed to be a very niche line: gaming phones. From Razer to Xiaomi to ASUS to even Samsung, one manufacturer or another have put out or is rumored to put out a … Continue reading
Virtual reality, or at least 360-degree content, has become the new hot thing in entertainment. Naturally, that means new territory for Google-owned YouTube to conquer. While limited to non-interactive content just like its regular version, YouTube VR markets itself as a way to experience new worlds up close and personal. Like literally in your face.

In a recent teaser video uploaded by Nikon, it seemed to hint that the company could have a new mirrorless camera in the works. This doesn’t come as a surprise as we have been hearing such rumors for a while now. For fans of Nikon who are hoping to see better mirrorless cameras from the company, it seems that the rumors are true.
According to a press release, Nikon has revealed that they are indeed developing a new next-gen mirrorless camera. “The new mirrorless camera and NIKKOR lenses that are in development will enable a new dimension in optical performance with the adoption of a new mount. The system is the result of Nikon’s unsurpassed optical and manufacturing capabilities gained through more than a century of imaging expertise.”
They add, “Proven reliability and trusted performance are core traits of Nikon Digital-SLRs, and decades of feedback from professional creators around the world has further contributed to the development of this system. Through the development of this new mirrorless camera, Nikon reaffirms our commitment to providing photographers with the ability to capture images that are richer and more vivid than ever before.”
Nikon also reveals that a new F-mount adapter is being developed which seems to corroborate the rumors that the new mirrorless cameras could use a new Z-mount. Nikon claims that additional details will be shared at a “later date”, but a recent datamine of its website has revealed that the company might make an announcement on the 23rd of August.

Fitness trackers are great if you’re looking to measure things like your heart rate, steps, distance walked/ran, calories, and also certain activities such as running, cycling, and swimming, and so on. However if you notice, most of these activities seem to be more cardio-focused.
So what about users who go to the gym to do weight or strength training? Unfortunately that’s where fitness trackers start to show their limitations. However if you’re someone who’s into weight or strength training but want to track their workouts, Toronto startup Push has launched the Nexus wearable on Kickstarter.
The Nexus is not like your typical fitness tracker and has been designed to be worn like a compression sleeve. There is a small pod that fits into the sleeve and will be able to track workouts that your average fitness tracker can’t, such as weights where it will be able to measure your average reps per minute, round splits, work-to-rest ratios, power, and more.
According to Push, the initial release will be focused more on those who practice CrossFit, but more benchmarking tools are expected to be released in the future. It will also be compatible with Google Fit, Apple’s HealthKit, and MyFitnessPal. The Nexus does not come cheap as it is priced at CA$210 for the Early Bird special, with an expected retail price of $299.

One of the new hardware features that Apple introduced to its Mac computers back in 2017 was the T2 chip in the iMac Pro. Apple then brought the chip over to the 2018 MacBook Pro laptops which seemed like a good thing, but now a report from Digital Trends is suggesting that it might be causing more problems than solving them.
It seems that ever since Apple introduced the T2 chip to its computers, there have been a growing number of complaints from users who are experiencing kernel panics, which are the Mac equivalent to the Windows Blue Screen of Death. While there could be many reasons behind a kernel panic, a common thread seems to be related to Bridge OS, which is the embedded OS used by the T2 chip.
It has yet to be confirmed if the T2 chip could be the reason behind the problems, but at least one user claimed that ever since they turned off the T2 chip, they never saw a Bridge OS-related problem again. In some instances Apple has actually replaced computers experiencing such issues.
If this is putting you off from buying a new Mac computer, worry not as Apple seems to be working on it. According to error logs, it appears that Apple has been actively fixing the issue as some users are reporting fewer kernel panics.

“Humanae Vitae” continues to have little real impact on the choices of American Catholic women.
Windows 10, Microsoft’s current version of its operating has long tormented users with a hard-to-bypass policy of forced updates. It will soon try to take the edge off by using machine learning to determine whether a user is actually using a computer when it updates.
Phone makers have promised unbreakable phone screens for years, but they tend to involve awkward compromises like soft, scratchable surfaces. Samsung Display might just fulfill that promise, though. Underwriters Laboratories has certified an “unbre…
