When a spacecraft goes where none have gone before, a few surprises turn up. As the Cassini spacecraft prepared to make its second loop through the narrow gap between Saturn and its rings today, scientists released more information about its first-ever pass through that uncharted region last week. Cassini researchers had expected that the spacecraft would encounter some diffuse dust, but the data shows the gap to be surprisingly dust-free. "The region between the rings an..>> view original'Significant' New Rift Could Sever Massive Iceberg From Antarctica
Scientists have observed a new rift in Antarctica’s Larsen C ice shelf that could soon lead to the calving of one of the biggest icebergs on record.

Project MIDAS tracks the effects of climate change on the Larsen C. That new rift, which is about 6 miles long, has forked toward the ice-front, or the region wher..>> view originalMay 2017 Android platform distribution shows another big gain for Nougat and a small uptick for older versions

However, there's some strange stuff at the bottom of the heap. Gingerbread and Lollipop both saw small increases in usage share this month because math is weird. Here's an update comparison chart with this month's values.

Hot on the heels of multiple reports that revealed more details about Apple’s Siri speaker, a new story out of Asia claims that Apple already inked a contract with a local supplier to make the iOS-based Amazon Echo competitor. A couple of insiders with accurate track records said in recent weeks that Apple’s smart speaker for the home is being finalized and the product might be unveiled as soon as WWDC 2017.

Apple’s earnings report yesterday was something of a mixed bag. While Apple impressively managed to increase year-over-year revenue and profits, quarterly iPhone sales fell ever so slightly. During the recent March quarter, Apple sold 50.7 million iPhones, representing a rather modest drop from the 51.9 million units Apple sold in the same quarter a year ago. Nonetheless, because investors like to use iPhone sales data as a barometer to measure Apple’s financial health, shares of Apple dropped ..>> view originalAndroid Nougat-Powered Galaxy A3 (2017) Pops Up On GFXBench

Nintendo The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Now that I’ve had some time to process last night’s Zelda: Breath of the Wild DLC announcement, I find that I’m a bit disappointed with it all (and I'm not alone). Years ago, Nintendo was reluctant to jump on the DLC train, but as they showed in games like Hyrule Warriors and Mario Kart, they actually did DLC really well once they did decide to take it on. But what I’m seeing in this first Breath of the Wild DLC pack, The Master Trials, ..>> view original
