Maybe they will have the courage to fix the notch problem by having the courage to remove the screen from the iPhone? After all, every red-blooded iPhan has an iPad and an iWatch.
The Earth's atmosphere extends as far as it is defined to extend---whatever that is. This seems like someone is just trying to change the definition.
Just because you can detect small concentrations of gas from the atmosphere doesn't make it part of the atmosphere. For example, if I found some New Zealanders in downtown New York, does that mean that New Zealand's territory extends to New York?
I seriously wonder what Bezos and his yes-men were thinking. They really are well insulated from real public opinion by their ivory towers.

That's kind of a niche use for mineral wool. Industrially it is generally used where it will be exposed to high temperatures (much higher than fiberglass can withstand) or in wet areas. Also, mineral wool often has a slightly higher R-value.
If it's using lime, it's being made from limestone. The Romans did it (eg. the Roman lime works at Iversheim) and so do we.
Lime is very chemically active and, in the presence of CO2 (e.g. from the air), readily yielding calcium carbonate---even at room temperature.
Just another lame item in the article. Replace the lime and the energy demand and then someone would really have something worthwhile to write about.
This is just preposterous: "stone wool", "urine bricks" and "greener particle board" is not going to replace packing peanuts and blister packs. Also:
Stone wool already has a catchy name: mineral wool, which is already available and used since at least the end of the 1800s.
Cement is already made from limestone, shells, chalk and/or marl mixed with shale, clay, slate, blast furnace slag, silica sand, and iron ore. The big problem here is the energy to heat the ingredients.
Good luck getting all of your urea from urine. Global demand is greater than 200 million tons---almost all of which is not green (or yellow). Healthy urine (from people) only contains 9.3g per liter (or around 682,000 liters of piss per second)
It's no news that you can create particle board from just about any fiber. Big deal. Just be careful using waste materials as even "green" waste streams can be harmful (e.g. dairy fiber can contain pathogens). Many companies already offer particle board materials with formaldehyde-free binders. Also, Ikea has been reducing their formaldehyde content in their products for years.
Plain and simple. Apple wanted to name their own price ($1.50/device in royalties to Qualcomm) but Qualcomm had a different number in mind ($7.50).
Can you imagine how much Apple would appreciate it if I insisted that they should give me an iPhone Xs for $200 (what I arbitrarily deem to be a reasonable price) and then be surprised that Apple wouldn't give it to me for that price.
This is no different.
Nope! And neither do the millions of people who still use 1/8" headphone jacks.
Perhaps we just lack the courage? Perhaps we don't own iPhones? Perhaps we still have some older audio equipment? Or maybe, just maybe, that the 1/8" jack is still the common denominator among all of the audio devices we own?
Sounds just like the thinking that the USPS uses when they need more money. Too bad Cable isn't authorized in the Constitution like the USPS is. Otherwise it would be a great plan.
Lenovo has so screwed with the brand that you need to be careful when selecting. Some are hits, most are misses---including some of the old-school named models such as the T and X series. So sad.
The controversy and confusion comes from the fact that Verizon Wireless’s new LTE technology and AT&T’s enhanced 3G technology are both referred to as 4G. Once again, no standards are in place to prevent such confusion. This has created a situation where advertisements can claim that AT&T has a larger 4G network than Verizon Wireless, without informing customers that the two networks are vastly different. Verizon Wireless’s 4G LTE is up to 10 times faster. To further complicate matters, AT&T realized the limitation of its 4G network and has also started developing an LTE network of comparable speed . At this point, AT&T’s LTE network is much smaller than Verizon Wireless’s –approximately one tenth the size at time of publication of this article.Another issue is latency, which is the delay that occurs when wireless signals are being transmitted to and from a phone through the tower and network. LTE latency is approximately one quarter the latency of 3G service and significantly less than 4G networks that do not utilize LTE. This is especially important for video conferencing, streaming video and other real-time data applications that require latency of less than 50 ms to function effectively . If a distinction is not drawn between 4G LTE and 4G that is simply enhanced 3G, customers can end up with a disappointing user experience. The bottom line is that few customers are aware of these differences, and without regulations or industry standards, they are vulnerable to highly misleading, yet technically accurate claim

...Java is the new COBOL.
Instead of issuing a CVE they should be issuing a "spoiler alert".

Have we learned nothing from the Lord of the Rings: Wizards. That's how the stones were moved.

Sure, blame Google and Youtube. It's like blaming a library for ignorance.
Is it just me, or can you hear them shouting that (and gesturing)?

How many people not using Samsung phones have installed this? That would be a far more interesting number.

As long as the internet expands the number of anything to do with the internet will likely increase.
Too bad that Apple maps doesn't know about scroll wheels. I guess they don't have them on Macs.

Android Studio: Now with 10% less bourgeois bugs.
Now that we know it's there, it's only a matter of time before someone observes the cable and alters the outcome.

What is old is new again.
Until the west coast has their infrastructure installed it cannot crumble to ruins. That's the first fundamental step.
Once people get over their knee-jerk sense of outrage (if there is any), I doubt anyone will even uninstall these apps from their phones.
Just another example of Intel taketh and Microsoft taketh away.
