Meta 2 Augment Reality Glasses Portend Brighter, Nearer Future For AR
Virtual and augmented reality are going to change the world. There’s no questioning that. However, despite the spotlight that has been shining on VR so far this year, most reports state that in the long-term AR is going to be much bigger than VR. But the reality today is that VR is ahead, with consumer-ready hardware about to ship and full-fledged VR experiences waiting to be had. Meanwhile, AR is still in its early days, with plenty of grandiose promises let down by the fact that the tech jus..>> view originalGoogle's new payments app means never having to pull out your wallet
Google's Hands Free is hoping to make some change at the register. Visual Mozart/ImageZoo/Corbis Pay with your voice. Google on Wednesday released to the public a new app called Hands Free, which lets people pay for items in stores by simply telling the cashier, "I'll pay with Google." But don't tell just any local store owner that this one's on Google and then walk out with a Snickers bar. The app, available fo..>> view originalThe cosmic hunt for Fast Radio Bursts just got a surprising new twist
One of the mysterious signals repeated, suggesting it might come from a pulsar like this one – but much stronger, and beyond our own galaxy. (EPA/NASA/Chandra X-ray Observatory) Last week, scientists reported a huge step in the hunt for mysterious cosmic phenomena known as Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs). But now their results are being called into question by others in the field. Amid that controversy, a new paper has just hit the presses: For the first time ever, they've found an FRB that keeps r..>> view originalDROWN HTTPS Vulnerability Threatens 11 Million Open SSL Web Sites

Found all over the world, the wandering glider (Pantala flavescens) is aptly named. The dragonfly has truly global reach, and it is found on every continent except Antarctica. To get to all those far-flung corners of the planet, the winged insect (also sometimes called the “globe skimmer”) makes epic migratory flights: They have been seen, for example, traversing the Indian Ocean in the hundreds of thousands on their way from Asia to Africa. But just how far they go has shocked researchers. New..>> view originalFacebook faces German antitrust privacy probe
Facebook’s data harvesting practices are facing yet another probe in Europe. This time the German federal competition authority (the Bundeskartellamt) is initiating proceedings — rather than it being a European Member State’s national data protection watchdog. So rather than privacy regulations being the jumping off point for this latest probe of Facebook’s business practices, the company is being investigated ostensibly on antitrust grounds. But its data harvesting practices are being linked ..>> view originalACLU: You can kiss trust in software updates goodbye if Apple's forced to help the FBI
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) today filed an amicus brief with a California federal court, taking Apple's side in the dispute about whether the company should be compelled to help the government access an iPhone.The friend-of-the-court brief set out multiple arguments why Apple should not be forced to assist the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in brute-forcing the passcode on an iPhone used by Syed Rizwan Farook.

Crimson gas clouds in space shine bright with reflected light in this new view from a European Southern Observatory telescope in Chile. The light comes from young stars that are buried deeply in a surrounding dust cloud. The region is called RCW 106, and is located about 12,000 light-years away in the southern constellation Norma (The Carpenter's Square). This is the 106th entry in a catalog of H II regions, which have clouds of hydrogen gas that are being ionized (electrically charged)..>> view originalEnd of 1-Year Space Mission 'Bittersweet' for Astronaut Scott Kelly (Video)
NASA astronaut Scott Kelly has mixed emotions about being back on Earth after nearly a year in space. Kelly and cosmonaut Mikhail Kornienko touched down on the steppe of Kazakhstan late Tuesday (March 1), wrapping up their unprecedented 340-day stay aboard the International Space Station. (Cosmonaut Sergey Volkov came home with them, but his space station mission had been the typical 5.5-month stint.) In a newly released NASA postlanding video, Kelly said he's glad to be home — but his ..>> view original520 million-year-old fossilized nervous system is the most detailed of its kind
Chengjiangocaris kunmingensis wasn't exactly a beautiful animal: The crustacean-like Cambrian creature had a long, segmented body and an unholy number of legs that it used to scuttle across the ocean floor. But scientists are oohing and ahhing over the ugly arthropod anyway, and for good reason. The nervous system of one 520 million-year-old specimen shows some of the best and most well-preserved nerves ever seen in an animal of that era.According to a study published Monday in the Proceedings ..>> view original
