Horror Stories From The Samsung Galaxy Note7 Flight Ban
On Saturday the federal flight ban on Samsung Galaxy Note7 phones went into effect in the United States. All four major Australian carriers have also banned the phone. We asked our readers how this was working out around the globe and from the replies we’ve received, it’s safe to say that, so far, this sucks. The US Transportation Department’s decision to ban the Note7 from all flights came just days after Samsung announced that it was killing the phone for good. That short window left little ..>> view originalGoogle Pixel: Australian Review
Google built a phone. For real this time. AU Editor’s Note: Since Google’s Daydream View VR headset won’t be available in Australia until November, we’ve kept any mention of it out of this review entirely. Stay tuned for a proper review of Google’s own VR headset in the days before you can actually buy it. Also, throughout this review, I’ll be talking about the Pixel and Pixel XL interchangeably since apart from their screen sizes and resolutions (5 inches, 1920×1080 pixels / 5.5 inches, 2560×1..>> view originalInfertility Treatment Breakthrough as Scientists Build Embryos From Stem Cells
This article was originally published on The Conversation. Read the original article.Scientists have for the first time shown that fully mature egg cells can be grown in the lab, raising hope for new infertility treatments.Until now, researchers have only been able to produce cells that resemble sperm or eggs, but which can rarely produce live offspring because of abnormal organisation of their genetic material. But a team at Kyushu University, Japan, has now turned stem cells from mice into mat..>> view originalThe OmniWear Arc is a haptic neckband for serious gamers
Haptic feedback -- using vibration to enhance a virtual experience -- is nothing new in gaming world. The past two decades have brought us products like the Rumble Paks for Nintendo 64 and DS and Sony's line of DualShock controllers for the PlayStation. But the majority of titles use haptics as an add-on, making an impact feel a little more real or to startle you during an intense moment. Even if the haptics were keyed to the appearance of an enemy, they didn't offer much in the way of informat..>> view originalNBN claims "lightning speeds" over copper with XG.FAST
The NBN has deemed its trials of XG.FAST a success after achieving speeds of 8Gbps over copper lines in the lab.The emerging technology could be deployed in a number of settings, the NBN said, including multi-dwelling units (MDUs) in a fibre-to-the-building (FTTB) scenario or via a distribution point unit (DPU) in a fibre-to-the curb (FTTC) based network.The lab trials, conducted with vendor Nokia, achieved speeds of 8Gbps over 30 metres of twisted-pair copper cable – the kind typically used be..>> view originalDolphin calf spotted off Cairns wrapped in marine debris

Dr Beasley hasn't seen the dolphin for more than two weeks. Photo: Isabel Beasley "The calf looked healthy, in good condition, and was swimming normally, however, it appears the marine debris is wrapp..>> view originalAustralian Scientists Just Made Quantum Computing 10 Times More Stable
Australian engineers have created a new quantum bit which remains in a stable superposition for 10 times longer than previously achieved, dramatically expanding the time during which calculations could be performed in a future silicon quantum computer.

VIDEO The new quantum bit, made up of the spin of a single atom in silicon and merged with an electromagnetic field — known as “dressed qubit” — retains quantum information for much longer that an “..>> view originalThousands of critically endangered 'scrotum frogs' found dead in Peru's Lake Titicaca

Edward Chester reader comments 35 The all new Samsung 960 Pro, released today, is the follow up to last year's 950 Pro. It offers the same core set of features, with an M.2 form factor, four-lane PCIe 3.0 interface, NVMe communication standard, and 3D V-NAND. But the 960 Pro isn't just a minor spec bump. Samsung has seriously cranked up the speed (and capacities) of its flagship drives to the point where such ludicrous performance may be lost on all but the most demanding of users.
