It seems that Galaxy S7 is an unlucky phone model for women. It has only been a few days since we heard about one exploding in a woman’s car, and now I can report to you another one catching fire as its owner slept in bed. Incident took place in a North China Conservancy and Hydropower University’s campus. According to the girl’s testimony, her Galaxy S7 caught fire around 6 am, out of blue as it was not connected to a power source (and even if it were, such an incident would be unforgivable). The device was quickly put out, though this did not save the poor bed linens ...

Average US citizen spends 5 hours per day on their phone
According to analytics firm Flurry, U.S. smartphone users are spending average of five hours per day on their mobile devices, a whooping 20% more than they used to do by the beginning of 2016. Apps are what sees the biggest increase in use, with mobile browsers and even mobile games both seeing decline in use over the last few years. Research states that using apps is Americans’ favourite past time in the living room, beating the old veteran of potato couching, television – even if many of those apps are TV-esque devices in kind of Netflix or Amazon Video.I never felt bad about ...
Smart condoms, or o tempora o mores!
Every aspect of our lives (at least those of people living in the First World) is getting ”technologized”, so why not up our sex life to 2.0 as well. Apple’s i.Con Smart Condom is Apple’s answer to your need to have your apparatus wrapped in/rubbed by cybernetics. The device will monitor details of your sex life, such as duration of intercourse, number of thrusts made or calories burn, and relay this info to a special smartphone app. The device itself is not actually a condom, though, but a ring to be placed over an actual prophylactic. Good thing, too, ’cause ...

Retiree died of heart attack after catching rare Pokemon
Well… everyone has to die from something… we have heard of people dying when playing video games, although most of these (very, very few) cases were due to sleep deprivation and other problems caused by playing non-stop for long periods of time (my record is 23 hours, but that’s nothing compared to some people). I do not think I have heard of anyone dying from excitment when playing video games, at least until now. 66 years old citizen of Marina Bay Sands was an avid Pokemon GO player. On that unfortunate day, he and his family was celebrating birthday of another family ...
Yahoo sucks, or how it turned out the portal was being hacked before, big time
Some time ago I reported to you that one bilion Yahoo accounts have been infiltrated by hackers in one of the largest cyber-attacks to date. Well, as it turns out, this wasn’t the first time Yahoo was being targeted by e-criminals. According to inquiry by Securities and Exchange Commssion, portal has already been invaded between 2015 and 2016, with hackers collecting data of 32 million Yahoo accounts. Verizon, new owner of Yahoo, probably isn’t pleased. This may be why the portal was sold for paltry 350 million USD.If I were you, I’d move to Gmail or some other mailing ...

John Goodenough, co-inventor of the Li-ion battery, is working on something new
Mr. Goodenough may be 94 years old, but that does not stop him from working (respect). Along with Maria Helena Braga, professor Goodenough has developed a battery that is said to be safer, more efficient AND cheaper than an everyday li-ion batteries we see in our smartphones. Among other benefits of their battery is increased longevity, more nature-friendly materials (sounds cool, but – how?) and increased recharge speed. Of course, battery is still in development, and there is no fixed date on when the research will be complete. The sooner, the better.Sim-unlock.net is a system that ...
