Creators of Tinder are working on something called Tinder Select.

A group of scientists from King Abdullah University of Science & Technology is working on a technology that allows for a remote or self-destruction of a smartphone. Their aim is to construct a special polymer that would be put inside the device. This polymer could then be triggered, by various means, to produce a large amount of heat. Heat would cause it to bloat, eventually causing the bulging mass to break the nearby phone chip. Scientists plan to create a number of triggers that could make the phone autodestruct. Among their ideas are; remote control, light detection (e.g., 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

If on last Tuesday you could not connect to an important/favourite website, there was nothing wrong with your web connection or web browser. On February 28th, one of Amazon Internet clouds suffered a breakdown. Multitude of websites make use of Amazon Web Service, so the service’s failure meant that a huge chunk of Internet went down. Websites were not the only things that stopped working – many inteligent household items have also stopped working. It is a troubling notion, knowing how much of our daily life depends on whether or not the Internet connection is secure. Only good ...

Facebook has not shared details of the project; all we know is that algorithms are supposed to find and react to patterns found in FB users’ posts (like, I don’t know, help me + knife + farewell = suicide, or something like this).
