Hence, the notch on the new 14 and 16-inch MacBook Pros. When Apple introduced the notch with the iPhone X, most of us assumed it was a temporary compromise while the company figured out how to shrink the selfie camera and Face ID. But when other companies with fewer resources than Apple could get rid of the notch in favor of a much smaller cutout — or more recently, none at all — it became apparent that Apple wasn’t in all that much of a hurry to get rid of it....

Sperm was first discovered in 1677 – but it took roughly 200 years before scientists agreed on how humans are actually formed. The “preformationists” believed that each spermatozoa contained a tiny, miniaturized human – the homunculus. They believed that the egg simply provided a place for the sperm to grow. On the other hand, the “epigenesists” argued that both males and females contributed to form a new being, and discoveries in the 1700s showed more evidence for this theory....

It’s currently hard to find your downloads in the Spotify app, even if you switch to the offline mode by going to Settings > Playback > Offline mode (who designed it this way, really?). Offline listeners can celebrate at last: Spotify has finally found some time in between its rush to acquire other companies, and built-in a button to filter your downloads, so they’re easy to retrieve. The is rolling out a new mobile app design change for the Your Library section that will introduce filter bubbles such as Playlists, Artist, Albums and Podcasts & shows....

If COVID concerns still make you uncomfortable about going to the gym, you’re not alone. Even as the world slowly begins to reopen its doors and return to normal after the past year, many say the lessons learned in 2020 might have permanently changed how people handle all kinds of situations, including their individual fitness goals. That’s fueled a huge push toward online workout programs. There were over 14 million fitness apps downloaded globally last January....

The results, published in three studies in Science, throw up some unexpected findings about Mars’s interior, including a very large core. Though Mars has no tectonic plates, the first “marsquakes” were detected within months of the probe landing. These may result from vibrations caused by meteorites hitting the surface or from processes inside the planet. It is difficult to detect quakes on Mars, partly because the seismometer is subject to the extremes of Martian weather, with seasonally changing windy periods obscuring the data....

Their trust could put them in danger, however. Kaspersky also warned that many dating apps have major privacy risks. Up front: The mass adoption of dating apps means people now find potential partners through algorithmic recommendations. To investigate the tech’s effect on relationships, Kaspersky commissioned Sapio to survey more than 18,000 dating app users from six continents. The majority of respondents perceived the impact positively. Some 44% said they’d trust the matchmaking choice of AI, and 64% felt the algorithmic recommendations fully correspond to their preferences....

To help understand the driving experiences and perceptions of European motorists, the Japanese automaker surveyed 700 European drivers from the UK, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Italy, Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. According to the findings, European EV drivers are traveling per year 630km more than owners of petrol or diesel cars! Specifically, they are traveling on average 14,200km, compared to an average of 13,600km driven by owners of internal combustion engine (ICE) cars....

Instead of fighting the deal, the state’s Attorney General Laetitia James told reporters her office is looking towards ensuring consumers receive better service and lower prices, highlighting that T-Mobile committed to creating jobs in the state. Despite lauding the potential for jobs, James previously referred to the deal as “exactly the sort of consumer-harming, job-killing megamerger our antitrust laws were designed to prevent.” The merger is an “all-stock” deal that sees the third-and-fourth largest mobile carriers in the US combine, pushing the subscriber count of the Germany-headquartered T-Mobile to well over 140 million....

Currently, you can only do one-on-one video calls, but the company says that it will introduce group video chat in the coming months. Telegram’s competitor, WhatsApp, already offers group calls with up to eight people on all mobile platforms. [Read: This AI simulation of Roger Federer helps him overcome his Wimbledon SHAME] Telegram says all calls are end-to-end encrypted and you can verify that with your chat partner through four emojis shown on your screen....

The $1,900 Cyberquad for kids was listed on the company’s website last night as a surprise..If you had any doubts about the design, you can take a look at the pictures and conclude it’s inspired by the Cybertruck. That front looks like a deadly robot rushing to attack you. Apart from its intimidating fascia and angular body design, the vehicle features a full-steel frame, a cushioned seat, and adjustable suspensions with rear disc brakes....

The right product execution is the essential instrument to leverage your limited wiggle room as a founder. Especially in a high-paced startup environment with little space for failure, strong execution on the right points can decrease the risk of failure. You might be staring at the wunderkinder in the B2B industry and their unmatched success, but there is a pattern that is repeated in their products and will be undoubtedly implemented by the next wave of brave minds as well....

Enter Dino Swords, an outlandish mod of the popular game that spices things up with the addition of AKs, bows, swords, and time-slowing pills, among other things. It pretty much relies on the same gameplay as Google’s version, with the exception that you can acquire other tools and weapons along the way. Each time you pick up a new accessory, the game prompts you to use it by highlighting a key on your keyboard....

Despite its many troubled years, the DeLorean has left its mark in automotive history, and it even turned into a pop-culture icon after the Back to the Future film franchise. Now, folks, it’s getting resurrected to claim its place in the world of EVs. If this tweet hasn’t satiated your curiosity or excitement, I feel you. The short teaser video only gives us a few hints about what to expect: — DeLorean Motor Company (@deloreanmotorco) February 13, 2022...

Eve first made waves with the Eve V – a Surface Pro lookalike that took basically everything people loved about Microsoft’s tablet and packed it with enthusiast features at a reasonable price. The Spectrum follows a similar philosophy, offering three 27-inch monitors using high-quality LG panels in several useful configurations: 144hz 1440p, IPS 1ms 98% DCIP3 HDR400 (450 nits peak brightness) 240hz 1440p IPS 1ms 98% DCIP3 HDR600 (750 nits peak brightness) 144hz 4k IPS 1ms 98% DCIP3 HDR600 (750 nits peak brightness)...

Now, I’m going to use my powers of deduction to guess who you’re thinking of. It’s Facebook, isn’t it? Of course it is. In case you’ve missed the news, Facebook and Ray-Ban have worked together to create a pair of smart glasses. The official launch of these is yet to happen (although this will probably have changed by the time you read this), but the product has already been leaked by Evan Blass....

While a random date on a hidden image may not seem like much to go on, it corroborates previous rumors about the iPhone 11’s launch and lines up with previous early-September iPhone launches. As 9to5Mac notes, Apple tends to launch announce iPhones on the second Tuesday or Wednesday of September; a quick search shows it’s done so every year since it announced the iPhone 5 in 2012. Adding to the evidence, a similar image within iOS 12 last year matched the iPhone XS’ September 12 launch date....

It’s pretty cool! It has a bigger and better screen, ethernet compatibility, and improved speakers. It features a wider, adjustable kickstand, and it doubles internal storage to 64 GB. It even comes in a panda color. These are all welcome improvements, and my colleague Callum, at least, is rather excited about it. And I would be too… if it weren’t for the fact I still want an honest-to-goodness Switch Pro....

I’m a professor of astronomy who has written extensively on the search for life in the universe. I also teach a free online class on astrobiology. I do not believe that the new Pentagon report or any other sightings of UFOs in the past are proof of aliens visiting Earth. But the report is important because it opens the door for a serious look at UFOs. Specifically, it encourages the U....

Since the 1920s we’ve known that the universe is expanding – the more distant a galaxy is, the faster it is moving away from us. In fact, in the 1990s, the rate of expansion was found to be accelerating. The current expansion rate is described by something called “Hubble’s Constant” – a fundamental cosmological parameter. Until recently, it seemed we were converging on an accepted value for Hubble’s Constant. But a mysterious discrepancy has emerged between values measured using different techniques....
