Posted: 18 Apr 2017 12:55 PM PDT

iPhone 8 to Fight Galaxy S8 With ThisA new report from Japan's Mac Otakara adds some weight to the more prevalent iPhone 8 rumors out there, including rumblings of a stainless steel design and a flat OLED display. The report, as translated by Apple Insider, claims that the iPhone 8 will have a "glass sandwich" design reminiscent of that of the iPhone 4, with a sturdy steel center and slabs of glass on the front and back. Mac Otakara also notes that the display will be a flat OLED panel (contradicting some previous flexible display rumors), and could sport a vertically oriented iSight camera that would allow the next iPhone to work more seamlessly with mobile VR headsets.

Dude's hack for walking on hot sand is clever, if oddWalking on a searing hot beach is the worst. Especially if you hate sand.

Democrats aim to 'make Trump furious' in Georgia race

Posted: 18 Apr 2017 10:18 AM PDT

Democrats aim to 'make Trump furious' in Georgia raceBy Andy Sullivan SANDY SPRINGS, Ga. (Reuters) - For U.S. President Donald Trump, an off-year congressional election on Tuesday in the reliably Republican northern suburbs of Atlanta could spell trouble if a Democratic upstart pulls off a surprise victory. Jon Ossoff, a 30-year-old political novice, is leading a field of 18 candidates for a U.S. House of Representatives seat that was vacated when Trump named Tom Price as his health secretary. An Ossoff win would not tip the balance of power in Washington but could weaken the already shaky hold Trump has on his fellow Republicans by encouraging lawmakers to distance themselves from him.

For Syrian evacuees, bus bombing a tragic end to a tragic dealBy John Davison BEIRUT (Reuters) - Mothers Noha, a Shi'ite, and Samira, a Sunni, were besieged for nearly two years on each side of Syria's civil war. As they waited at two transit points miles apart outside Aleppo, a bomb attack hit Noha's bus convoy, killing more than 120 people including dozens of children. Reuters was not allowed back past security to try to find Noha after the blast, and lost contact with Samira after speaking to her earlier on another evacuee's phone.

Scientists discover a giant black worm monster in the Philippines

Posted: 18 Apr 2017 07:06 AM PDT

Scientists discover a giant black worm monster in the PhilippinesHidden beneath its tusk-like shell is a jet-black, slippery and slimy sea creature that looks like it came off the set of Alien. Scientists said on Monday that they've discovered the first living specimen of a giant shipworm in a Philippine bay. SEE ALSO: Killer whales toss boats like toys while hunting a sea lion People have known of the huge mollusc for hundreds of years, by the shells they've left behind that were the size of baseball bats. But scientists have only seen dead specimens. "To me, [finding the giant shipworm] is almost like finding a dinosaur — something that was pretty much only known by fossils," Dan Distel, research professor at Northeastern University, told the Guardian . Distel and his team published the find on Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The discovery, they said, is akin to finding the "unicorn" of mollusks. Another team member, Margo Haygood, a research professor in medicinal chemistry at the University of Utah College of Pharmacy, said they were led to the discovery by a 2011 Filipino documentary that showed local divers gathering the huge shipworms and cooking them. Haygood told Popular Science that the team discovered a population of the shipworms, and sent five of them to a laboratory, where they opened the giant shipworm's hard, calcified tube.  She said it was nearly as heavy as a branch. A fully-grown shipworm can reach up to a metre (3.3 ft) long.  Unlike its shipworm cousins, which burrow into rotting wood, this giant shipworm, K. polythalamia lives on hydrogen sulfide, that which gives eggy farts their potent kick. K. polythalamia rarely eats anything else — its digestive system is stunted, and scientists have found little to no fecal matter in its body. Hydrogen sulfide — released from decaying vegetation and rotting animals in the swamps where it lives — is digested by symbiotic bacteria that lives in the giant shipworm's outsize gills. The bacteria then produces carbon compounds the giant shipworm consumes. There are still many questions about the giant shipworm — for instance, scientists have yet to discover its life cycle, and how to measure its age. "Are the specimens we studied a couple years old, or a couple hundred?" Haygood told Popular Science. The mollusk's discovery shows how little we know about life on Earth, she added. "Isn't it remarkable that you can find such a bizarre creature in the 21st century? I'm in favor of investigating alien life, but we should put just as much effort into figuring out life down here."
