Apple unveils 29-armed robot designed to disassemble old iPhones
Apple cranks out millions of iPhones every quarter, but have you ever wondered what happens to all those devices when they reach the end of their lives? Many of them end up in landfills with other mobile devices that have outlived their usefulness, but some will be recycled. Apple recently decided to take iPhone recycling seriously and the result is Liam. No, Liam is not a factory worker or engineer. Liam is a robot with 29 arms built for the purpose of tearing old iPhones down at breakneck sp..>> view originalMicro.bit Aims To Inspire The Next Generation

Nintendo has said that it will talk more about its next piece of hardware in 2016, but the latest evidence suggests that the company could also release that device sometime this year as well. Developers may already have their hands on the development kits for the Nintendo NX, according to a Wall Street Journal rumor. And now Japanese financial newspaper Nikkei is claiming the company will announce the system this year while ending production of the Wii U. This means that outside studios and pub..>> view originalApple's messy iPad lineup keeps getting more complicated
Since then, the iPad has hit a two-year sales slump (sales peaked at 26 million but have since dropped to 16 million in 2015's holiday season), and it feels like Apple is desperately trying to find the right tablet to reverse what has to be a worrying trend. The new 9.7-inch iPad Pro is the best example of this approach. In one regard, it's clearly meant to be the successor to the 18-month-old iPad Air 2 -- it's the same size and weight and keeps the tablet's classic and most popular screen siz..>> view originalGoogle rebrands its Chromecast app to Google Cast to reflect expansion to more devices, including speakers
Google announced this morning that it’s renaming its Chromecast application to “Google Cast,” in an effort to better reflect how the technology works across an array of devices, including not only the Chromecast dongles, but also TVs, displays and speakers.

The move will unfortunately lead to job losses, although Sony is promising that it will try to place employees in other companies when it can. Evolution had already lost 55 people almost exactly one year earlier as it tried to refocus on Driveclub as a service. The closure represents a classic instance of betting the farm on a single project and failing spectacularly. Both Evolution and Sony hyped Driveclub to the extreme, portraying the social racing game as if it was the next Gran Turismo. It..>> view originalFirst Supernova Shock Wave Image Snapped by Planet-Hunting Telescope
For the first time, scientists have seen the shock wave emanating from an exploding star in visible light. Using NASA's planet-hunting Kepler Space Telescope, researchers saw the shock wave coming from a massive star explosion (a supernova) that came into Kepler's view in 2011. The star that ended its life as a supernova is named KSN 2011d, which is nearly 500 times the diameter of the sun, and located about 1.2 billion light-years away. The shock breakout lasted only about 20 minute..>> view originalSpace Station Cargo Launch Tonight May Be Visible Along East Coast
