Do you often walk around with your face in your smartphone’s screen, never looking before or around you? Do you look up from your mobile when crossing the street, or do you consider it a waste of time? If so, then you probably deserve being hit by a truck… though authorities in the Denmark town of Bodegraven seem to have a different opinion than mine. The officials there decided that, rather than to let the gene pool rid itself of a handful of idiots, they would instead making traveling on foot easier for them with an enhanced street signaling. I have to admit that the dutchmen ...

Generally speaking, technology is made to be safe. No producer in the world wants their product to explode in its user’s face, if not because of their good heart then because things like that usually make the sales drop bigtime. Still, electronics are complicated devices, and smartphones are not an exception. Being a relatively rare occurence, smartphones catching on fire became a thing a few months ago, during the infamous Samsung Galaxy Note 7 fiasco (long story short, a whole line of phones turned out to be prone to exploding, with quite a number of people getting burns and/or ...

EHang 184, for that is its name, is a taxi-drone. Chinese-made vehicle has first been presented during last year’s CES in Last Vegas. Now, a number of them has been commissioned by Burj al-Arab, one of the most luxurious hotels in Dubai, as a personnal transport for its guests. Drone trips will not be a family thing, unfortunately, as drone can carry only 100 kilograms of weight. It will definitely be faster than dragging on foot or by car, like the rest of us peons – drone will be flying with a speed of 100 km/h (its max speed is 160 km/h, but it was deemed too dangerous). ...

Smartphones are not cheap. Depending on the model you desire, you might have to spend hundreds of dollars (even thousands, if you are particulary picky). With such high prices, it is no wonder that sometimes we find ourselves searching for a more cost-efficient way of obtaining one. One of them (pretty much the only one if you do not want to mug people) is to buy an used mobile device – you’ll always save a couple (dozen/tens/hundred) bucks, right? Of course, but remember that homo homini lupus est, so there is a chance you will get, wittingly or not, ripped off when you buy ...

(Am I the only one who thinks that ”pokemon trade” sounds kind of like ”slave trade”?) John Hanke, chief of Niantic, creators of the game, stated in an interview that Pokemon Go will receive a large update that will add two new features to the game, namely Player vs. Player combat and pokemon trade. Hnanke stated that Niantic wanted to implement those options into the game on the get go, but ”server problems” made it impossible. Right… because game creators want their games to be released 100% done and with no need for updates that keep the fanbase ...

Gary Simons, a (presumably) loving dad enjoys playing a certain game of pranking with his daughter. The duo takes turns pranking one another, and it was dad’s turn to get back at her. Mr. Simmons got creative and decided to fiddle around the girl’s phone. He created an app that made her phone seem to be ”possessed” – upon launching her favourite game, the cute dog on the game’s title screen turned into a daemon, device’s screen changed as to look like the glass was broken and – a real cherry on top of the deed – the phone started to emit ...

One Mike Zimmerman, a professor at the Tufts University (Massachussets, US), has invented a ”zombie-battery” that will not only never explode but will keep working even when severely damaged. That is a news worth noting, especially now that the classic lithium-ion batteries have proven to be quite unreliable (coughSamsungcough). If you want to learn more, check out this video. If you’d rather read than watch, then let me tell you that Mr. Zimmerman was able to make his battery safe by replacing the flammable liquid electrolyte inside the accumulator a plastic polymer that ...
