Yet, now that is purportedly been retired.<br />

The tech monster has rejected plans to incorporate a unique mark sensor into the iPhone 8's show, KGI Securities investigator Ming-Chi Kuo told financial specialists in a note on Monday (July 3), which was prior written about by 9to5Mac. Apple will even now utilize a virtual home catch, however will clearly move the unique finger impression sensor to another area on the gadget.<br />
<br />
Apple's iPhone 8 has been reputed for a considerable length of time to be shipping with a Touch ID unique mark sensor prepared into the screen. It would have turned into the main real handset to offer the element, and would have separated the iPhone 8 from Samsung's System S8, which has a unique mark sensor on the back of the gadget appropriate beside the camera.<br />

<br />
Kuo didn't state in his note to financial specialists why Apple has ruled against the component. In any case, Samsung, which had attempted to package it in the System S8 and clearly in the current year's Cosmic system Note 8, told columnists not long ago that screen-based unique mark sensors still experience the ill effects of specialized and security issues. It's conceivable Apple found the same in its own particular testing.<br />
<br />
In any case, Kuo said that Apple is pushing forward with its iPhone 8 configuration designs. The organization's handset will have a screen that almost altogether covers the face and a little zone at the top, which Kuo calls an "indent," that will house the cell phone's earpiece and front-confronting camera. The iPhone 8's screen will gauge 5.8 inches and will have the most astounding screen-to-confront proportion of any cell phone available, as per Kuo.<br />
<br />
In any case, it's the handset's absence of a unique finger impression sensor prepared into the screen that could demonstrate generally vexing. Each iPhone hole and rendering demonstrates a gadget that doesn't have a space for a physical unique mark sensor. In the event that Apple has ruled against the virtual sensor, it's conceivable Apple will include a region for it the back of the handset. There's additionally a probability Apple could prepare the element into one of the cell phone's physical catches if a current patent recording is any sign.<br />
<br />
Apple is allegedly advancing with a September dispatch occasion, where it will uncover both the iPhone 8 and the iterative updates to the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Or more, as per Kuo. In any case, he said that the iPhone 8 will probably dispatch after alternate models and could experience the ill effects of supply issues into 2018.Pawan Lubanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16560815386103512070noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2061512246332128409.post-38683635438769977072016-03-19T10:49:00.000-07:002016-03-19T10:49:26.766-07:00Some unexplained Facts!<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

A French scientist claims to have discovered a hidden image under the Mona Lisa, adding further mystery to the enigmatic Da Vinci masterpiece.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: top;">
Pascal Cotte has spent 10 years analysing the painting and made the discovery by using a multispectral camera which projects a series of intense lights onto the canvas, BBC News reports.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: top;">
“We can now analyse exactly what is happening inside the layers of the paint and we can peel like an onion all the layers of the painting. We can reconstruct all the chronology of the creation of the painting,” Mr Cotte said.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: top;">
He said that an earlier portrait of another woman sitting lies hidden beneath the surface of perhaps the most famous painting in the world.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: top;">
Unlike the Mona Lisa, with its trademark gaze that appears to follow viewers wherever they move, the new image shows a woman staring off to the side.</div>

Mr Cotte said the woman underneath does not appear to be Lisa Gherardini, the wife of a Florentine silk merchant, who is widely believed to be the woman in the 16th century painting.</div>

In a YouTube video the researchers posted March 4 (and we found via ScienceAlert), they run a red laser across the solid material to show just how black it is.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: #999999; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: top;">
You can see how the material absorbs almost all of the light, reflecting nothing detectable back to our eyes:</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: #999999; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: top;">

They make Vantablack by tightly packing carbon nanotubes — rods of carbon that are much, much thinner than any human hair — so close together that light gets trapped inside, ScienceAlert reports.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: #999999; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: top;">
Researchers say their new material is so black that even their spectrometers (machines that record colors and light) can’t measure its darkness. It’s likely higher than the original Vantablack, which could absorbed 99.96% of the light that hit it.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: #999999; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: top;">
To be clear, Vantablack isn’t paint and is unlikely to be as durable, too. Even a little bit of water can mess up other ultra-black materials made of nanomaterials — though the original Vantablack seems to hold up pretty well to dunking in water as well as liquid nitrogen.</div>

Surrey NanoSystems isn’t just making blacker and blacker materials to set records. They’ve tested Vantablack to see if it could withstand going into space. There, it could be used to calibrate NASA’s powerful cameras to take more accurate photos of our universe. (Artists are also interested in using the black material.)</div>

Maybe the blackest material could help us see through the darkness.</div>

SCANS of King Tut’s burial chamber have confirmed two hidden rooms, Egypt’s antiquities minister announced overnight — a discovery that could intensify speculation that the chambers contain the remains of the famed Queen Nefertiti.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: top;">
Mamdouh el-Damaty told reporters that the secret chambers may contain metal or organic material, but he declined to comment on whether royal treasure or mummies could be inside.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: top;">
Analysis of the ground-penetrating radar scans made by a Japanese team showed chambers that would be scanned again at the end of the month to get a better idea of what may lay inside, he said.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: top;">
“It means a rediscovery of Tutankhamun … for Egypt it is a very big discovery, it could be the discovery of the century,” el-Damaty said.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: top;">
“It is very important for Egyptian history and for all of the world.”</div>

El-Damaty said it was too early to tell what the metal and organic material could be, saying only that he thinks the new chambers could contain the tomb of a member of Tutankhamun’s family.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: top;">
At the Cairo news conference, el-Damaty highlighted radar scans that showed anomalies in the walls of the tomb, indicating a possible hidden door and the chambers, which lay behind walls that were covered up and painted over with hieroglyphics.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: top;">
“We can say more than 90 percent that the chambers are there,” said Mamdouh Eldamaty, an egyptologist who is the country’s antiquities minister.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: top;">

British Egyptologist Nicholas Reeves speculates that Tutankhamun, who died at the age of 19, may have been rushed into an outer chamber of what was originally Nefertiti’s tomb, which archaeologists have yet to find.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: top;">
Reeves reached his theory after high-resolution images discovered what he said were straight lines in King Tut’s tomb. These lines, previously hidden by colour and the stones’ texture, indicate the presence of a sealed chamber, he said. The images were broadcast live on national television last September.</div>

The golden sarcophagus of King Tutankhamun in his burial chamber at the Valley of the Kings. Radar scans of the tomb have revealed two previously undiscovered chambers, possibly containing organic material.</div>

<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: top;">
The discovery could shine new light on one of ancient Egypt’s most turbulent times, and one prominent researcher has theorised that the heretic queen Nefertiti’s remains could be inside.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: top;">
The tomb lies in Luxor, in southern Egypt, which served as the Pharaonic capital in ancient times, and is home to sprawling temples and several highly decorated ancient tombs in the Valley of the Kings.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: top;">
The discovery of King Tut’s nearly-intact tomb by Howard Carter in 1922 sparked a renewed interest in Egyptology and yielded unprecedented Pharaonic treasures, including the boy king’s sarcophagus and iconic golden burial mask.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: top;">
Famed for her beauty, Nefertiti was the subject of a famous 3300-year-old bust. She was the chief wife of Tutankhamun’s father, the heretic Pharaoh Akhenaten, who attempted to impose a monotheistic religion upon his kingdom.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: top;">
Akhenaten was succeeded by a pharaoh referred to as Smenkhare and then Tut, who was proved by genetic testing to have been Akhenaten’s son.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: top;">
Tut, Nefertiti, and Akhenaten’s family ruled Egypt during one of its most turbulent times, which ended with a military takeover by Egypt’s top general at the time, Horemheb. The family’s names were later erased from official records.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px; margin-bottom: 2em; margin-top: 1em;">
This week, at the 2016 Game Developers Conference, we saw a lot of games. Some we recognized, some felt familiar, and some were unlike anything we'd seen before. Across all consoles and even virtual reality, we found a handful of experiences that we know you haven't heard of, but that we think are cool. Here are our 8 favorites.</div>
<figure data-align="center" data-embed-type="image" data-img-src="http://static1.gamespot.com/uploads/original/1547/15470456/3024074-candleman.jpg" data-ratio="0.5625" data-ref-id="1300-3024074" data-size="large" data-width="1280" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px; margin: 0px; width: 1280px;"><a href="http://static1.gamespot.com/uploads/original/1547/15470456/3024074-candleman.jpg" style="color: #d82731; text-decoration: none; transition: color 0.2s linear;"><img src="http://static2.gamespot.com/uploads/scale_super/1547/15470456/3024074-candleman.jpg" style="border: 0px; height: auto !important; max-width: 100%;" /></a></figure><h3 style="background-color: white; font-family: Bitter, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 30px; font-weight: 400; line-height: 1.2; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-transform: uppercase;">
<span style="color: #111111; font-weight: 600;">CANDLE MAN, BY SPOTLIGHTER</span></h3>
<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px; margin-bottom: 2em; margin-top: 1em;">
Beijing-based developer Spotlighter's Candle Man isn't just a platformer. It's a beautiful, finely-tuned death trap. You play as a tiny ambulatory candle, running through mazes lighting other candles along the way. As you light each candle and burn away wax, you become increasingly smaller--but the smaller you are, the higher you can jump, granting you access to more harder-to-reach places. Every level begins in total darkness and will frequently revert back to it; lighting others candles illuminates pathways hidden in the gloom--as well as potential traps, like poisonous flowers, spikes, and bottomless pits.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px; margin-bottom: 2em; margin-top: 1em;">
Some levels are straightforward: run and jump through a mix of deadly flowers or wooden beams, lighting candles and searching for the exit. Others require you to briefly flash your candle at the right moments to make bridges appear over a dark abyss. Some require you to watch carefully for the shadows of invisible bricks and trust you won't fall as you run across bottomless spaces. Sometimes flickering, sluggish white ghosts chase the little Candle Man, their touch an instant game over.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px; margin-bottom: 2em; margin-top: 1em;">
But according to producer Gao Ming, there's more to Candle Man than just platforming. Candle Man is a game about knowing your limitations, and being at peace with them. The limited range of movement--running and jumping--and the finite amount of energy from your ever-melting wax castle are a metaphor for learning to work with what you have, powering through and achieving your goals without straining yourself irreparably. With this message in the back of your mind, Candle Man becomes an intriguing little game indeed.</div>

<span style="color: #111111; font-weight: 600;">TO AZIMUTH, BY BRACKET GAMES</span></h3>
<figure data-align="right" data-embed-type="image" data-img-src="http://static1.gamespot.com/uploads/original/1547/15470456/3024075-12_rocket.png" data-ratio="0.47095761381476" data-ref-id="1300-3024075" data-size="medium" data-width="480" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px; margin: 0px; width: 480px;"><a href="http://static1.gamespot.com/uploads/original/1547/15470456/3024075-12_rocket.png" style="color: #d82731; text-decoration: none; transition: color 0.2s linear;"><img src="http://static3.gamespot.com/uploads/scale_medium/1547/15470456/3024075-12_rocket.jpg" style="border: 0px; height: auto !important; max-width: 100%;" /></a></figure><div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px; margin-bottom: 2em; margin-top: 1em;">
Developer Zach Sanford is working on his point-and-click inspired adventure To Azimuth on his own, with his brother composing the somber music. The overall tone is exceedingly somber: colors are muted and lean towards warm, dark reds, browns and black. The music is soft and melancholy, a scatter of notes that lull you into an uneasy calm. And the premise is also black, as you explore the tiny world of a family who have lost one of their own--possibly to alien abduction.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px; margin-bottom: 2em; margin-top: 1em;">
Sanford says the game is somewhat inspired by five-act adventure game Kentucky Route Zero, but a majority of it comes from his upbringing in rural Alabama. To Azimuth explores his own childhood obsession with the search for aliens--he recalls clicking through Yahoo Geocities pages at all hours of the night, following conspiracy theories--as well as themes of crippling anxiety and PTSD. The characters in To Azimuth are harshly drawn, the angles sharp on their long limbs and their faces featureless, and speak harshly to one another, bickering about better times and events out of their control. It's a sobering experience, with a tense emotional uncurrent that you can't help but want to follow.</div>

<span style="color: #111111; font-weight: 600;">PERCEPTION, B</span>Y THE DEEP END GAMES</h3>
<figure data-align="left" data-embed-type="image" data-img-src="http://static1.gamespot.com/uploads/original/1547/15470456/3024076-perception.jpg" data-ratio="0.56266666666667" data-ref-id="1300-3024076" data-size="medium" data-width="480" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px; margin: 0px; width: 480px;"><a href="http://static1.gamespot.com/uploads/original/1547/15470456/3024076-perception.jpg" style="color: #d82731; text-decoration: none; transition: color 0.2s linear;"><img class="js-lazy-load-image" data-src="http://static4.gamespot.com/uploads/scale_super/1547/15470456/3024076-perception.jpg" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" style="border: 0px; height: auto !important; max-width: 100%;" /></a></figure><div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px; margin-bottom: 2em; margin-top: 1em;">
Developed by former Bioshock and Bioshock Infinite lead designer Bill Gardner, Perception takes horror games' tendency to fray one's nerves and goes a step further. You play as a blind woman who has accidentally stumbled into a time-traveling adventure, guiding her through a mystery to unravel a series of odd events. She navigates by echolocation; tapping her cane on the ground produces a sound that bounces off the walls and objects in the room, illuminating the area immediately surrounding you.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px; margin-bottom: 2em; margin-top: 1em;">
But Perception dissuades you from continuously tapping by adding an ever-watching predator who is hypersensitive to your noise: The Presence. The Presence lives in the house she is exploring, haunting rooms and at first manifesting as a roaring fire in a fireplace or a string of electricity blocking a stairwell. At times you'll round a corner, tap the cane, and run smack into a spider. Other times the reverberating sound of a ticking clock or music box will guide you into another room. And sometimes you're totally out of luck, and The Presence--we won't spoil what it is here--will come after you.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px; margin-bottom: 2em; margin-top: 1em;">
There are no traditional jump scares in Perception, but you'll find yourself expecting one because of its atmosphere. Tension mounts as you tap away, trying to find your way through the pitch darkness. A low, seething soundtrack adds to the intense journey through the house, and you're always nervous something is waiting to jump out at you. It's a horror game that drags out the anxiety in terrible, smart ways, making it something horror fans will want to try--as well as maybe players who aren't quite ready to dive into something more illuminated.</div>

<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px; margin-bottom: 2em; margin-top: 1em;">
Those who love narrative-based adventures like Telltale Games' fare will feel at home with Her Majesty's Spiffing. The premise: the Queen of England wants to expand the British Empire--again--but the world isn't interested in joining and the once-affected nations are not keen on seeing it happen again. So the Queen looks in the only direction she can: space.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px; margin-bottom: 2em; margin-top: 1em;">
In this comedic tale--with some very cheeky writing loaded with British-isms--you control Captain Frank Lee English on his quest to the stars alongside his young assistant, Aled. On his quest for a galactic British Empire, English will have to solve problems you encounter in most 3D point-and-click adventures: repairing broken things, finding batteries for a controller, and engaging in personable banter with those around you. It plays like what we've come to expect from a Telltale game, but the art style is more cartoony. Light and dark throw sheen and shade over English and Aled and the rooms in their spaceship, making it look like something pulled right out of a Pixar film. While we've only seen a brief bit of the game, the dialogue we did run through was clever, with a jovial tone overall. In a market someone lacking in variation for these adventures, a space-faring conquest sounds like a great new twist.</div>

Permadeath and procedurally generated levels have enjoyed a powerful resurgence in recent years, but not many Rogue-likes look or play like Everspace. Pitched as a cross between Freelancer and Faster Than Light, Everspace drops you in the cockpit of an upgradeable, spacefaring fighter vessel and directs you through a series of randomly assembled “sectors.” It’s unclear what awaits you at the end, but along the way, you’ll need to acquire fuel and fend off attackers. To that end, you actually have a few options: you can locate and mine specific asteroids for resources, trade with various named characters for fuel and components, or just blow up any bases you discover and steal what’s left.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px; margin-bottom: 2em; margin-top: 1em;">
Regardless of which approach you utilize most, you’ll inevitably engage in fast-paced, flight sim-esque dogfights, using missiles, guns, and upgrades like cloaking devices and shields to dominate opposing ships. Unfortunately, if you fail, it’s back to sector one--though you will retain any upgrade blueprints you’ve found up that point. You’ll also be armed with some additional knowledge. Every time you die, you’ll see a new flashback that reveals another slice of your character’s backstory, which (somewhat sadistically) turns death into a storytelling mechanic. And even though each sector’s composition changes on subsequent playthroughs, characters remain consistent. If a trader turned out to be a traitor last time, you know better than to trust them again.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px; margin-bottom: 2em; margin-top: 1em;">
Everspace faces stiff competition from the likes of EVE Valkyrie, No Man’s Sky, and Elite: Dangerous, but its Rogue-like structure might allow the game to carve out a space of its own when it launches this winter.</div>

<span style="color: #111111; font-weight: 600;">THE TURING TEST, BY BULKHEAD INTERACTIVE</span></h3>
<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px; margin-bottom: 2em; margin-top: 1em;">
GLaDOS was a real jerk. Just flat-out mean. So imagine if her soothing voice had been a source of comfort rather than ridicule. This is, in part, the approach first-person puzzler The Turing Test takes. Like Portal, it challenges you to make your way through a series of rooms by solving deceptively simple puzzles using a gun-like device while a seemingly omniscient AI comments on your progress. Unlike GLaDOS, though, Turing Test’s AI Tom seems...friendly. At least for now. His commentary guides International Space Agency engineer Ava as she reactives a dormant base on Jupiter’s frigid moon Europa.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px; margin-bottom: 2em; margin-top: 1em;">
The base has clearly been abandoned for some time, leaving Ava to restore power by, well, solving puzzles. The game gives you a simple tool--in this case, the aptly named Energy Manipulation Tool--and challenges you with increasingly complex tasks. The simplest room requires you to transfer power from one node to another by grabbing the energy source with your gun and firing it into the appropriate slot, but as you progress, you’ll have to figure out how to, for example, grab some glowing blue energy without trapping yourself in a room when the automated door loses power.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px; margin-bottom: 2em; margin-top: 1em;">
While these puzzles comprise the bulk of the gameplay, Turing Test also contains deep, ambient storytelling in the style of Gone Home. As Ava dives deeper into the base, she’ll discover emails, audio logs, and personal effects left behind by the previous crew. According to the developers, these items and the sometimes tragic tale they tell create a somber atmosphere that compliments Ava’s loneliness while also driving the experience forward. Perhaps we’ll find out if her isolation is part of the titular test when the game launches this August.</div>

<span style="color: #111111; font-weight: 600;">DELIVER US THE MOON, BY KEOKEN INTERACTIVE</span></h3>
<figure data-align="left" data-embed-type="image" data-img-src="http://static1.gamespot.com/uploads/original/1547/15470456/3024085-deliver-us-the-moon-2.jpg" data-ratio="0.547" data-ref-id="1300-3024085" data-size="medium" data-width="480" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px; margin: 0px; width: 480px;"><a href="http://static1.gamespot.com/uploads/original/1547/15470456/3024085-deliver-us-the-moon-2.jpg" style="color: #d82731; text-decoration: none; transition: color 0.2s linear;"><img class="js-lazy-load-image" data-src="http://static3.gamespot.com/uploads/scale_medium/1547/15470456/3024085-deliver-us-the-moon-2.jpg" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" style="border: 0px; height: auto !important; max-width: 100%;" /></a></figure><div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px; margin-bottom: 2em; margin-top: 1em;">
Although it involves wandering through the corridors of a space station with a floating robot companion, Deliver Us the Moon is not a light-hearted action game. From the opening moments where you fire up a realistic launch sequence for your shuttle to the moon to your race for an oxygen tank refill buried in the remains of a shattered walkway, Deliver Us the Moon feels like a game that's trying to channel the solitude, glory, and horror of being trapped in space.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px; margin-bottom: 2em; margin-top: 1em;">
The early in development build we played at a GDC Xbox One event only showed a small portion of what the game has in store, but it's an experience that channels Interstellar, 2001: A Space Odyssey, and Moon. Quiet, deliberate, and focused on promoting the science of space over the thrills of blowing up aliens, we can't wait to get lost (and hopefully found) on this Moon.</div>

<span style="color: #111111; font-weight: 600;">MANUAL SAMUEL, BY CURVE DIGITAL/PERFECTLY PARANORMAL</span></h3>
<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px; margin-bottom: 2em; margin-top: 1em;">
Manual Samuel is weird. It's not just that the plot revolves around making a deal with a skateboarding, foul-mouthed personification of Death, it's that the controls are a mix of QWOP, Octodad: Dadliest Catch, and Weekend at Bernie's.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px; margin-bottom: 2em; margin-top: 1em;">
In Manual Samuel, you play a recently dead character who now has to manually control every aspect of being a normal-looking human. If you can make it through one day, Death will bring you back to life as a regular person; if you fail, Death gets your soul. Putting one foot in front of the other is performed with the trigger buttons, alternating X and B keeps Samuel breathing, and hitting Y will force the muscles in your back to keep your spine erect--Manuel Samuel is frustrating, silly fun. If the developers can keep the game short and focused on its bizarre humor, it'll be worth seeing just how long you can Samuel shambling along as a totally not-dead being</div>

Anyone can play the lottery – all you need to do is buy a ticket. Playing the $80 million Powerball draw this Saturday is easy – just get your ticket in a kiosk, or play US Powerball online from anywhere in the world!</div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-top: 15px;">
If you end up winning the $80 million, you’ll join a long list of eccentric characters. Take the three lottery players below for example. They scooped up millions, but they also experienced incredible events leading up to their lottery wins.</div>

The man with seven lives is none other than an ordinary Croatian music teacher who has lived through some extra-ordinary events. Frane Selak survived a derailed train crash, has been sucked from an airplane, survived a bus crash into a river, escaped his flame-ridden car (twice!), has been hit by a bus, and survived accidently driving off a cliff. Then, in 2003, he was the lucky winner of $1 million in the Croatian lottery!</div>

In 2003, Stephen Cooke won a $13.3 million Mega Millions lottery jackpot – twice! When he went to claim his prize, he suddenly remembered that he had bought another ticket with the same numbers!</div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-top: 15px;">
Luckily it worked out for Stephen, but billions in prizes go unclaimed. This doesn’t, however, happen to online players, as they are paid out automatically!</div>

Gloria Mackenzie from Florida won a mind-blowing $590.2 million U.S. Powerball jackpot in 2013. A kind woman let the old lady ahead of her in the Quick Pick line and (unintentionally) let her purchase the winning Powerball ticket! Call it fate or just pure good luck, the result is the same - Gloria Mackenzie is now one wealthy woman!</div>

<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-top: 15px;">
They say fact is crazier than fiction, and most of us have crazy-but-true stories to share. Wouldn’t you like to add a $80 million jackpot-winning story to your autobiography? You don't need to have seven lives, to have two winning tickets, or even to cut in line to win - simply buy a lottery ticket at your local store or purchase Powerball tickets online and wait for the numbers to be drawn on Saturday night.</div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-top: 15px;">
Regardless of whether you play Powerball online or the old-fashioned way, we wish you lots of fun and luck!</div>

The wait is over. After months of hype, Apple has formally announced the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus and – as usual – the new handsets are polarising opinion. Fans are excited by some potentially game changing changes, while critics bemoan the stylistic similarities to the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.</div>

In a first for Apple, the new iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus are actually ever so slightly larger and noticeably heavier than their predecessors. The good news, while you are likely to notice the difference holding new and old models side-by-side, in isolation this will be pretty similar:</div>

Of course I appreciate covers are a must for most owners, but it would be nice for Apple to at least <i style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">try </i>and make a phone which doesn’t act like a bar of soap and offers some ergonomics for the human hand.</div>

More positively, the other key takeaway is that structurally both the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus are significantly stronger. Apple openly mocked the so-called ‘Bendgate’ scandal last year when the iPhone 6 and, notably, iPhone 6 Plus were found to warp under relatively meagre pressures.</div>
<div style="-webkit-margin-after: 0px; -webkit-margin-before: 0px; -webkit-padding-start: 0px; background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: 17.6px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
But privately changes have been made and internal thickening is thought to (at least partially) account for some of the weight increases. Consequently the new iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus have switched from Series 6000 to Series 7000 aluminium. Series 7000 is over twice as strong and a video pressure test has already shown you’ll be highly unlikely to bend either model under any force you’d encounter in everyday life.</div>

In addition Apple has improved the durability of the new iPhones’ glass displays, but it hasn’t given any details regarding how much stronger we can expect them to be.</div>

Another area where the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus are receiving criticism is their screens as, <a href="http://www.forbes.com/sites/antonyleather/2015/09/08/biggest-iphone-6s-leak-massive-screen-resolution-boost-coming/" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #003891; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_self">despite late rumours to the contrary</a>, the resolutions remain unchanged:</div>

Should this matter? For me no. By comparison the iPhone 6S still has a pixel density similar to a 4K ‘Ultra HD’ resolution on a 13-inch laptop while the iPhone 6S Plus has a pixel density higher than a 4K display on an 11-inch laptop. Smartphones just live in a crazy specifications war where Apple refuses to fight.</div>

Yes, I would be very surprised if the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus panels can top what Samsung delivered with the 2K Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge, but few owners are likely to be disappointed when using either iPhone in real world scenarios.</div>

Like the Apple Watch, MacBook and MacBook Pro lines, the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus now sport a variant of Force Touch called ‘3D Touch’. This uses the same pressure sensitive panel as these devices to distinguish between different types of touch and gives vibration feedback to the user to confirm when force touches are recognised.</div>

Inevitably, however, gaming is perhaps the area with greatest potential for 3D Touch. Unlike 3D Touch in the Apple Watch and MacBooks, 3D Touch senses a range of pressures so, for example, the screen could be used like an accelerator in racing games.</div>
<div style="-webkit-margin-after: 0px; -webkit-margin-before: 0px; -webkit-padding-start: 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 17.6px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
How developers react will be crucial. 3D Touch requires dedicated hardware so it will not come to older iPhones so the level of motivation to implement it in apps will make or break it.</div>
<div style="-webkit-margin-after: 0px; -webkit-margin-before: 0px; -webkit-padding-start: 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 17.6px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
As such, while 3D Touch may not initially be the main reason users want to buy an iPhone 6S or iPhone 6S Plus, its ability to fundamentally change how iOS works (for the first time since 2007) means long term it is the most important addition to these new iPhones.</div>

While 3D Touch is what has techies enthralled, for end users perhaps the biggest pull of the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus is their new camera technology:</div>

</ul>
<div style="-webkit-margin-after: 0px; -webkit-margin-before: 0px; -webkit-padding-start: 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 17.6px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
While on paper these changes don’t appear to be world changing, they drag the new iPhones back into a camera battle where both LG and Samsung had usurped earlier this year.</div>
<div style="-webkit-margin-after: 0px; -webkit-margin-before: 0px; -webkit-padding-start: 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 17.6px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Yes, the megapixels and apertures on the back still don’t quite match what LG offers with the G4 or Samsung with the Galaxy S6, S6 Edge, S6 Edge+ and Galaxy Note 5 (all use the same sensor) but 5MP front cameras run them close. More to the point their combination with Apple’s legendary image processing software, may just mean the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S come close to delivering the best phone camera experience once again.</div>
<div class="wp-caption alignnone" id="attachment_13138" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 17.6px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 17.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

Apple has also added a nice gimmick: ‘Live Photos’ records 1.5 seconds of video around a photo so it can be made to move, if a user prefers. This is something Nokia users have had for several years, but it makes a nice addition to iOS.</div>
<div style="-webkit-margin-after: 0px; -webkit-margin-before: 0px; -webkit-padding-start: 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 17.6px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The big caveat: shockingly Apple has again snubbed the smaller iPhone with the 6S not receiving Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS) like the 6S Plus. Instead it will have to put up with Digital Image Stabilisation (DIS) which should again give the iPhone phablet a noticeable advantage.</div>

Brains of an iPhone 6S in a 5S body<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px; padding: 0px;">
VENICE BEACH — Have smartphones gotten too big?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px; padding: 0px;">
At a press event Monday, Apple is expected to introduce a new iPhone model, the SE, which will have most of the features of the newer 4.7-inch iPhone 6S and even bigger 5.5-inch iPhone 6S Plus, such as an enhanced camera, faster processor and Apple Pay feature.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px; padding: 0px;">
But it will sport the smaller, 4-inch body of earlier phones such as the 5S or 5C, according to analysts including Piper Jaffray's Gene Munster. He sees the new SE appealing to about 20% of Apple's customer base: the folks who never bothered to upgrade to the bigger phones.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px; padding: 0px;">
Apple declined to comment. Its invitation for the event Monday only promises attendees to "loop you in." It's also expected to unveil new Apple Watch bands and a smaller iPad Pro.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px; padding: 0px;">
The 4-inch SE would be virtually alone among popular rival smartphones in its height. The majority of new phones from Samsung, LG, Google and others all have screens that are 5 inches or bigger.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px; padding: 0px;">
Smaller phones in general are now scarce. In fact, the websites of the wireless carriers carry few in the 4-inch range: the older <a href="http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones/SM-J100VZBPVZW" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1990e5; text-decoration: none;">Samsung Galaxy J1</a> and <a href="http://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phones/coolpad-rogue.html" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1990e5; text-decoration: none;">Coolpad Rogue</a>. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px; padding: 0px;">
The SE is expected to replace the iPhone 5S, first introduced in 2013. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px; padding: 0px;">
Apple joined the big-screen movement pioneered by Samsung the next year, with the iPhone 6 and bigger 6 Plus, followed in 2015 with the 6S and 6S Plus.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px; padding: 0px;">
Many consumers demanded bigger screens and the move paid off for Apple. The larger iPhone was Apple’s best-seller ever.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px; padding: 0px;">
But not all Apple consumers made the switch. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px; padding: 0px;">
According to research firm Parks Associates, one-third of Apple iPhone owners still have a model that is more than two years old, compared to 30% of Samsung phone owners. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px; padding: 0px;">
And several consumers interviewed by USA TODAY said they were more than happy with a smaller phone. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px; padding: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px; padding: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px; padding: 0px;">
“They’re like a flat screen TV in your pocket,” says Chuck Asa, a tourist visiting from Hawaii. “Bigger phones are easier to break.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px; padding: 0px;">
Christina Cameron, a student from Boston, has the old iPhone 5, is up for an upgrade, and is eager for the SE. “I could get the newer one in a smaller phone,” she said.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px; padding: 0px;">
Taking a look at the iPhone 6S Plus, she says, “It’s like a mini-iPad to my face.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px; padding: 0px;">
But Priscilla Peterson, also from Hawaii, says, “I like big phones--I hope they get bigger too.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px; padding: 0px;">
Has the iPhone gotten too big? "No," says Monica Roldeder Duffy, a Los Angeles publicist. "When I switched from the 5 to the 6, I couldn't believe I ever used the 5."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px; padding: 0px;">

Tim Bajarin, an analyst with market research firm Creative Strategies, says Apple could make a huge impact with the SE by pricing it “aggressively,” like around $399. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px; padding: 0px;">
The 6S starts at $649 without a contract, while the iPhone 5S was being offered with no pre-payment and a two-year contract, for $450 unlocked. (It's currently no longer on sale on Apple's website.)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px; padding: 0px;">
Meanwhile, with Apple paving the reverse direction in phone size and trying again with a smaller screen, “If Apple is successful, you can bet Samsung will be back,” says Bajarin.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px; padding: 0px;">
The new SE is expected in stores next week.</div>

<strong>Getting your snuggle on (a.k.a. bring on the puppies):</strong> Whether you've got a four-pawed friend of your own, or you just want one, a lazy and snuggly Saturday is all the better with an old favorite such as <em>101 Dalmatians</em> (1961), or an uplifting coming-of-age tale such as <em>My Dog Skip</em>(2000). Of course, the reigning king of all shaggy-buddy flicks these days is undoubtedly <em>Marley and Me</em> (2008). Have a hanky ready for that one, though.</div>

<strong>Dreading family time at the holidays: </strong>Get ready for too much eggnog and endless comments about your career choices! If you're dreading another dose of hometown harassment this season, shore up with these flicks: Dermot Mulroney and Sarah Jessica Parker grapple with how to fit in at the Christmas gathering of <em>The Family Stone</em> (2005). You might want to escape your holiday family obligations, but somehow they keep pulling you back in: That's the story of<em>Four Christmases</em> (2008). Meanwhile, James Gandolfini and Ben Affleck are just trying to deal with each other in <em>Surviving Christmas</em> (2004).</div>

<strong>In the mood to be scared silly:</strong> In the dark, for a scare, check out the atmospheric chills of <em>The Babadook</em> (2014), or the full-on trapped-in-a-cave horror of <em>The Descent </em>(2005). If scary dolls that are possibly real are your idea of terrifying, then check out <em>Annabelle</em> (2014). Here's a tip: Samsung Galaxy Note 4's Super AMOLED display makes horror movies even more horrifying: thanks to its deep-contrast feature, the creepiness just gets creepier. You'll never miss what's lurking in a shadow, or slinking along a dark hallway on the screen — and that's the stuff a great horror film is made of, after all.</div>

<strong>Craving a delicious meal:</strong> Sometimes you just want to tuck into a killer plate of yumminess with a movie that complements the fare. Like a fine wine, you can do just that with<em> Jiro Dreams of Sushi </em>(2011) or the animated kitchen hijinks of <em>Ratatouille</em> (2007). Want to get emotional about your dish? Try the inimitable Tilda Swinton in the foodie-friendly romance of <em>I Am Love</em> (2009).</div>

<strong>Eager to travel someplace new: </strong>Whether you're packing, or just wish you were, movies can inspire us to see the world. They can be high-adventure, like <em>The Secret Life of Walter Mitty</em>(2013) or they can be eccentric journeys, such as the train trip of <em>The Darjeeling Limited</em> (2007). Looking to go way out there? Put on <em>Into the Wild</em> (2007) for some deep and philosophical trekking.</div>

<strong>Excited for Friday:</strong> How about throwing on that perfect movie to kick off the weekend? There's the slacker fun of <em>Friday</em> (1995), with none other than Ice Cube; it's perfect for a throwback hangout with friends. For the kids, try the Lindsay Lohan/Jamie Lee Curtis remake of <em>Freaky Friday</em> (2013) — it's the old kid-and-adult switch roles story. If you're ready for something a bit more serious, follow along with the struggles of the indomitable football heroes of <em>Friday Night Lights</em> (the 2004 movie, in this case, not the television show).</div>

<strong>Feeling happy and in love:</strong> Oh, you romantic soul. Witness the love of a lifetime beset by parents who just don't approve: it's <em>Endless Love</em> (2014).

<span style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px;">In an effort to eliminate disruptive delivery trucks driving through its picturesque streets, the Belgian city of Bruges approved plans Tuesday to create an underground pipeline for transporting beer.</span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0.75em;">
Agence France-Presse reported the pipeline is set to connect the historic De Halve Maan brewery to a bottling factory two miles away, eliminating the 500 trucks that drive down the city's small streets each year.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0.75em;">
De Halve Maan, a major fixture in Bruges, is a UNESCO World Heritage site that hosts 100,000 tourists each year. However, residents of the city in northwest Belgium became concerned about the loud trucks traveling through the cobblestone streets, and the brewery offered to fund the pipeline.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0.75em;">
"The idea is born of environmental and quality of life concerns, and not economic ones," the company's director Xavier Vanneste said, according to AFP.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0.75em;">
The pipeline is designed to carry more than 1,500 gallons of beer each hour, according to Belgian publication deredactie.be. It is also expected to reduce transportation time to the factory.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0.75em;">
"The beer will take 10 to 15 minutes to reach the bottling plant. By using the pipeline we will keep hundreds of lorries out of the city center," Vanneste said.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0.75em;">
The project is one of the first of its kind, with only one other similar structure in existence in Germany. Construction is set to begin next year, according to AFP.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="Artist concept of the Space Launch System" class="attachment-full wp-post-image" height="360" src="http://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/14-229_0-640x360.jpg" style="border-style: none; color: #333333; font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;" width="640" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="color: #333333; font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
NASA’s Space Launch System, the USA’s first exploration-class spacecraft since the Space Shuttle, has officially passed the whiteboard formulation stage and moved into full-scale development. The SLS, which will be the most powerful rocket ever built, will allow NASA to land astronauts on Mars and captured asteroids, and perhaps other planets and moons throughout the Solar System as well. The first SLS mission should lift off no later than 2018, sending the Orion capsule around the Moon. Asteroid- and Mars-bound missions should follow a few years after that. The question is, will NASA be the first to send humans to Mars (probably no sooner than 2032) — or will a commercial company such as SpaceX get there much earlier?</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
NASA began the SLS’s design process <span style="color: #b1700a;">way back in 2011</span>. At the time, we knew the stated goal of the SLS – to try and re-use as many Space Shuttle components as possible, to get back into deep space as quickly and as cost effectively as possible — but we didn’t know exactly what form the SLS would take. Now that <span style="color: #b1700a;">the formulation stage has been completed</span>, and focus has shifted to actually developing and fabricating the launch system’s millions of constituent components, we have a very firm idea of what the SLS will be capable of, and thus what kind of missions NASA will task the SLS with.</div>
<div class="wp-caption alignnone" id="attachment_90772" style="color: #333333; font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; width: 650px;">

A test-firing of the Space Shuttle Main Engine, which will be reused on the Space Launch System</div>
</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
The Space Launch System is broken up into <em>blocks</em>. Block I, the first and most simple design, consists of a core stage that’s lifted almost straight from the Space Shuttle: It has two Space Shuttle Solid Rocket Boosters (SSRBs), and a first stage that’s fashioned out of a converted Space Shuttle External Tank (that big red cylinder thing — but on the SLS it’ll be painted white). Together with a modified Delta Cryogenic Second Stage (modified from the Delta IV), Block I will be able to lift around 70 metric tons (154,000 lbs) into low-Earth orbit. There is only expected to be one launch of the Block I variant. If all goes to plan, it will launch sometime in 2017 or 2018 and send an uncrewed Orion capsule on a circumlunar orbit around the dark side of the Moon.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
The next variant of the SLS, Block IB, will use the same core stage as Block I — but instead of the modified Delta IV second stage, it’ll have the brand-new Exploration Upper Stage. The EUS has a lot of fuel and four RL10 rocket engines, boosting the total payload capacity to around 110 metric tons to LEO. Finally, at some point in the 2030s, Block II will arrive, which replaces the two SSRBs with new, “advanced boosters.” Block II will be capable of lifting around 155 metric tons to LEO.</div>
<div class="wp-caption alignnone" id="attachment_186609" style="color: #333333; font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; width: 650px;">
<span style="color: #b1700a;"><img alt="The launch of the Apollo 11 mission, aboard Saturn V rocket SA-506" class="size-large wp-image-186609" height="803" src="http://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/ap11-KSC-69PC-442HR-640x803.jpg" style="border-style: none;" width="640" /></span><div class="wp-caption-text" style="color: #666666; font-family: helvetica, arial; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px; padding: 10px 0px;">
The launch of the Apollo 11 mission, aboard Saturn V rocket SA-506. 34,020,000 newtons of thrust from five massive F-1 rocket engines that each burned around 3 tons of fuel per second. The Saturn V is still the most powerful space launch vehicle ever used.</div>
</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
<em>Read our featured story: <span style="color: #b1700a;">The Space Shuttle legacy in pictures</span></em></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
By comparison, the Saturn V — which took NASA astronauts to the Moon — had a max LEO payload capacity of 118 metric tons, but it has long since been retired. SpaceX’s <span style="color: #b1700a;">Falcon Heavy</span>, which is a much smaller and cheaper rocket than the SLS, will be able to put 55 metric tons into LEO. With the retirement of the Space Shuttle, there aren’t really any heavy lift launchers in operation: Ariane 5 (Arianespace) can only do 21 metric tons to LEO, while Delta IV (United Launch Alliance) can do 29 metric tons to LEO.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
In short, NASA’s Space Launch System should be by far the most powerful operational rocket when it arrives in 2017-2018. SpaceX could decide to up-rate the Falcon Heavy, but I doubt it: With Falcon Heavy, SpaceX wants to compete with United Launch Alliance and Arianespace, <span style="color: #b1700a;">which currently own the (incredibly lucrative) heavy lift market</span>. A payload capacity of 55 tons is more than enough for that purpose. You only shoot for a capacity of 150 tons if you’re aiming at targets that are much farther than geostationary orbit — such as landing on the Moon or Mars <span style="color: #b1700a;">or Europa</span>.</div>

<div style="color: #333333; font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
The SLS’s primary payload will be the Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle (MPCV), though it will undoubtedly be used to send other large spacecraft into deep space. The Orion capsule is what NASA will use to land astronauts on the Moon, captured asteroids, Mars, and any other interesting lumps of rock throughout the Solar System. The first manned Orion launch, to a captured asteroid in lunar orbit, is scheduled to occur in 2021. Combined with SpaceX’s crewed Dragon spacecraft and Boeing’s CST-100, things are looking up for human space exploration!</div>

While the calculator watch had a heyday in the 1980s, it's been rendered obsolete by modern inventions, like PDAs, cellphones and fashion. Some modern top-of-the-line models go for a nice price, but the numbers aren't in your favor if you list a standard version. You'll be lucky to get more than $15.</div>

Another victim of the proliferation of smartphones, PDAs serve little purpose or utility now. And since it hasn't been too long since they were used, there's little nostalgia factor to drive up the price. High-tech models from the past decade may get you $40, but basic and older PDAs barely scratch $20.</div>

With all due respect to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShgXC62a09o" style="color: #00aeef; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Radio Raheem,</a> the boombox's glory days are long gone, and so is any chance you had to make some money off of it. While the boombox carries unique musical and cultural value, that won't translate into cash.</div>

A new wearable for babies is trying to give parents some peace of mind, and maybe a few extra hours of sleep.</div>

Sproutling <a href="http://cognizz.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">launched</a> its pre-order campaign on Thursday, billing itself as the "world's smartest baby monitor." Designed by a team of former Apple and Google engineers, pediatric specialists and new parents, the product works as a kind of Fitbit for infants, measuring vital signs and providing insights on sleep patterns and mood.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0.75em;">
Sproutling says its product customizes itself to each baby's habits, learning the child's sleep cycle and heart rate and alerting parents of any abnormalities. Parents can learn what's "normal" for each newborn, such as heart rate.</div>

The Sproutling system is made up of three parts: a wearable band, a smart charger and a mobile app. The rubber-coated, hypoallergenic band is washing-machine safe and contains a sensor that monitors heart rate, temperature and motion. The device's battery lasts about three days and can be dropped into its base station for wireless charging. The third part of the Sproutling system is the mobile app, which relays the information documented by<a href="http://cognizz.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"> the device.</a></div>

The app uses data to predict when the baby will wake up, and it tries to determine what mood the baby is in before parents even walk in the room. Access to the app can be granted to multiple people, including babysitters and other caretakers. Sproutling can also notify users in case of emergency, like if the baby's heart rate or skin temperature changes significantly, or if an infant rolls over.</div>

High-tech <a data-crackerjax="#post-slider" href="http://cognizz.blogspot.com/" style="color: #00aeef; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">baby monitors</a> are not new, with app-enabled devices like Belkin WeMo baby, BabyPing and iBaby providing parents with mobile audio and video of their baby. However, Sproutling wants to expand the scope of information a baby monitor can relay.</div>

Although the product is not set to launch officially until March 2015, parents can pre-order online now for $249. Sproutling will retail for $299 when it hits the market.</div>

Once you’ve received a certification and feel proficient in your field, it’s time to start the exciting process of finding a job. While your school records will speak a lot about your dedication, commitment, and intelligence, many potential employers will also pay close attention to how you interact with them during an interview. The interview process is incredibly important to those who speak English as a second language in landing the perfect job. In order to ensure that you don’t miss out on a great opportunity, pay close attention to the following advice during your job interview.</div>

<span style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.6em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">While being yourself is an important part of interviewing, you also need to tailor your interview tactics to the specific job or company.

Research the company before your interview, and come prepared with any questions you have about the mission or philosophy of the corporation. The more involved you are in the interview, the more you have a chance to open up to your potential employer and sell the things that are best about you.</div>

If you’ve taken the time to enroll in an English language program in your field, you’re probably passionate about what you do. Allow that enthusiasm to shine through during your interview to show your employer that you will be an important asset to the company. Show examples from your own life that illustrate your desire to be part of the growing healthcare, business, or networking industries. Keep a positive attitude throughout the interview and work to always keep a smile on your face, regardless of the questions you are answering.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 1.625rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

If the information is available, research who will be conducting your interview. This can be determined with a simple call to the receptionist asking how many resume copies you need to bring to the interview.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 1.625rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Many interviewees come fully prepared for the interview, and make the tragic mistake of forgetting the interviewer’s name during the meeting. Focus on who you are speaking to, and if you are unsure of their name, politely request it again. Make sure before you get started that you fully understand the purpose of each individual in the room. This helps you tailor your questions and answers to the right people.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 1.625rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="border: 0px; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Communicate and Listen</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 1.625rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
In an interview, it’s easy to get caught up in selling yourself, and you may forget to be quiet at times and simply listen to what the interviewer is saying. While the interviewer or panel wants to know more about you, they also want to speak when it’s their turn, in order to guarantee that you have all the relevant information you need to accept the position. Talk concisely and politely when it’s your turn, and don’t talk over the top of your interviewer.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 1.625rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="border: 0px; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Embrace Your Culture</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 1.625rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
When it comes down to it, your diversity is one of the best things about you, and can be a big asset to any company. While you want to display the things you’ve learned and how proficient you are in your field, don’t be afraid to embrace who you are and show the diverse parts of you during the interview.</div>

<br />
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 1.625rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Sure, we all know the importance of getting a medical check-up every six months or so. It helps us identify any health issues sooner rather than later, increasing our chances or retaining great health well into our later years. But did you know the importance of getting a biannual financial check-up too? In many ways it’s just as important as a medical checkup: it can help us identify problem areas before they get out of hand, and can help us stay on track towards our financial goals. We all know that money makes the world go round, and without enough of it, the quality of our lives will surely suffer. If you’re not already convinced as to why you should schedule a finance check-up every 6 months or so, either with an expert, knowledgeable friend, or with your significant other, then read on. Here are three reasons that should hopefully convince you today.</div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.2; margin: 0px 0px 1rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
You Can Take Stock of Your Trading Performance</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 1.625rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
If you’ve been trading with shares or on the foreign exchange market, now may be a great time to evaluate your general performance over the previous 6 months. These days, more and more people are getting into trading, as companies such as<br />Knowledge to Action (click here to be directed to their website) and other financial education firms continue to teach more of the general public the fine art of trading. However, every art form takes time to master, including share or currency trading. If you’ve failed to achieve your financial goals at this six month mark, take note of your success and failures over the last half year and identify any reoccurring issues. If possible, speak to a financial expert or invest in some more training. Hopefully you’ll perform even better over the remaining months of the year.</div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.2; margin: 0px 0px 1rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
You Can Determine Whether You’re on Target for Your Savings Goals</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 1.625rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Sometimes we need to take a timeout and reflect on where we’ve come from, and where we want to go. If you’re saving for a deposit on a home, a new car, or a much needed holiday, then you’ll need to make sure your saving efforts are well on track. Failing to track your goals is just asking for trouble. Looking over your savings progress 6 months into the year allows you to see exactly where you are in relation to your goals. If you’re on track, knowing this can help you stay motivated throughout the rest of the year. If you’re not, then it can also give you some motivation – this time, to get back on track and do what needs to be done to get you to your goal.</div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.2; margin: 0px 0px 1rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
You Can Take Advantage of New Financial Developments</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 1.625rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The world is constantly changing, and opportunities that may not have existed at the start of the year may now be ripe for the picking. However, if you don’t schedule a half-yearly financial checkup then you may miss them entirely. For example, the housing market may have taken a dive in the last 6 months, presenting you with an ample opportunity to purchase some property. Or, a new bank may have entered the market, promising rock bottom lending rates and minimal fees. Taking a timeout at the half year mark, and reflecting on your current financial situation, allows you to react to these new developments, and possibly take advantage of them. This is all about being smart and adaptive to the current financial landscape.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0.75em;">
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — A space-tourism company announced it has successfully completed the first small-scale test flight of a high-altitude balloon and capsule being developed to let tourists to float 20 miles above Earth.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0.75em;">
Tuscon-based <a href="http://cognizz.blogspot.com/" style="color: #00aeef; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">World View Enterprises</a> said Tuesday that it launched the flight last week from Roswell, New Mexico.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0.75em;">
Company CEO Jane Poynter said the system broke the world record for highest parafoil flight, lifting a payload to 120,000 feet.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0.75em;">
"It went really, really, really well," Poynter said. "Actually, the guys hit the ball out of the park. We're thrilled."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0.75em;">
The system uses a balloon similar to that used to lift Austrian daredevil Felix Baumgartner 128,000 feet to make a world record-breaking 24-mile skydive in 2012. That flight also launched from the Roswell airport.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0.75em;">
Poynter said last week's flight was the first time testing all the components together. It used a balloon about third the size of that planned for passenger flight to lift a payload of about one-tenth of what will be used to carry passengers.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0.75em;">
World View Enterprises is still planning to <a data-crackerjax="#post-slider" href="http://cognizz.blogspot.com/" style="color: #00aeef; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">begin its $75,000 per-person flights</a> in 2016, she said. The balloons will lift a capsule carrying six passengers and two crew members 20 miles up, where they will float under a parafoil for about two hours before floating back down to earth. The capsule will be big enough for the passengers to walk around.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0.75em;">
The selling point is the view of the Earth and seeing its curve, the company said. Other <a href="http://cognizz.blogspot.com/" style="color: #00aeef; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">space-tourism</a> ventures under development will rocket passengers the full 62 miles into space, but on much shorter flights.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0.75em;">
The height that the World View balloon reached is within Earth's stratosphere, about 12 miles higher than any commercial airliners reach.</div>

In filings with the Federal Aviation Administration, World View said it planned to launch its flights from Spaceport America in New Mexico, but Poynter said that no final decision has been made on where to base the flights.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0.75em;">
Spaceport is where Virgin Galactic plans to launch its first space-tourism flights at a cost of $200,000 per person. Development of Virgin's spacecraft has taken longer than originally planned, and it is unclear when the company, founded by British billionaire Richard Branson, will make its first flight. The company's newest target date is the end of this year, but it has said that for each of the last several years.</div>

"I don't think anyone considers us in a race," Poynter said when asked if they might beat Virgin Galactic to passenger flight. "We don't consider us in competition because the experience is so completely different."</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0.75em;">
Android Wear is here. When <a href="http://cognizz.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Google</a> first unveiled its wearable platform in May, the products looked impressive, but they hadn't been seen in the wild. At Google I/O 2014, the first Android Wear devices, the LG G Watch and Samsung Gear Live, are out and proud.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0.75em;">
The G Watch and Gear Live are very similar. Before they're officially on sale, the samples here at the show will only run in "retail" mode, meaning they only show sample notifications from <a href="http://cognizz.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Android Wear.</a> At least they're interactive — you can swipe and tap on them, but I couldn't dive that deep</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0.75em;">
The watch faces are slightly different — the Gear Live has hints of silver trim while the G Watch goes with basic black — but they both have the same rectangular shape, and the screens are virtually the same size (a 1.65-inch square for the G Watch and 1.63-inch for the Gear Live).</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0.75em;">
The screens may be the same size, and even look the same, but there's different tech under the hood. Samsung's is a <a href="http://cognizz.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">SuperAMOLED</a> screen, like the company's phones, and LG opted for an IPS (in-plane switching) LCD. Both looked great to me.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0.75em;">
<a href="http://cognizz.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Android Wear </a>is a different take on the smartwatch than we've seen so far. It's almost entirely focused on notifications — which is a good thing — with different kinds of alerts showing up as Google Now-style "cards" that you can scroll through, up and down.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0.75em;">
Swiping to the side lets you perform other actions, depending on the card. For example, the weather card shows you current conditions, but a swipe will show you the forecast. Swiping a Hangout message will let you reply.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0.75em;">
<span class="microcontent" data-description="Android Wear's whole card paradigm is a stark contrast to other smartwatches" data-fragment="android-wears-whole-card" data-micro="1">Android Wear's whole card paradigm is a stark contrast to other smartwatches</span> like the Samsung Gear 2 and Sony Smartwatch 2, which tend to favor traditional app icons to activate certain functions. Android Wear makes more sense for a small screen — it's easier to gesture than to precisely tap on a tiny icon — but I suspect finding specific features might be more challenging.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0.75em;">
Both of the smartwatches are listening to you. Say "O.K., Google," and the watch will accept verbal commands. Set reminders, reply to messages and more. The speech recognition is about as good as Google Glass, which is to say great. When I told the G Watch to remind me to pick up my dry cleaning, it got everything right except the time. Not bad.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0.75em;">
Apart from the minor differences in design and the displays, the G Watch and Gear Live provide a near-identical experience. That's probably because they were both in the in-store retail mode, but also because Android Wear is brand new and neither brand has had a chance to really crack it open much yet. I expect the interfaces to add more variety and differentiators as time goes on.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0.75em;">
As for Android Wear itself, Google is on the right track by centering it around notifications. I would say 90% of the purpose of a smartwatch is to provide convenient, "glanceable" updates. LG and Samsung appear laser-focused on that purpose — there's virtually no mention of things like fitness or music playback.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0.75em;">
As long as the alerts are useful, in context, and not <a href="http://cognizz.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">annoying</a>, Google's smartwatch platform will have a bright future. We'll reserve judgment until we can use the watches out of demo mode, but Android Wear adds some needed brains to the category.</div>
