iPhone 17 Pro reintroduces a glass cutout for 5G mmWave antenna on U.S. models

Apple introduced its iPhone 17 lineup today, and the new iPhone 17 Pro models include an interesting new design quirk that the company just got rid of with the iPhone 16 lineup: a glass cutout for 5G mmWave passthrough. This time though, it’s on the top of the phone. Ever since iPhone 12, Apple has included 5G mmWave support on the iPhones in the US, with the exception of iPhone 16e and the new iPhone Air. On iPhone 12 through 15, there was a glass cutout on the right side of the phone for thi

Signourney Weaver Is a Fan of ‘Alien: Earth,’ Too

We’re on record saying just how good the new FX show Alien: Earth is but who are we? Just some weird website that writes about pop culture and technology. The real voices you want to weigh in on an Alien show are the people who are a part of it, and at the top of that list is Sigourney Weaver. Weaver played Ellen Ripley, or some version of her, in four Alien movies from 1979 to 1997 and is clearly the go-to when it comes to Alien. Especially because she, unlike original director Ridley Scott, h

These 8 Common Foods Contain Microplastics. Here's How to Avoid Them in Your Diet

Microplastics are found everywhere from kitchen tools to food storage. As a result, you're probably ingesting thousands of tiny plastic particles without even realizing it. Studies estimate the average person consumes between 39,000 and 52,000 microplastic particles annually through food and beverages alone -- and when airborne particles are included, that number can climb as high as 120,000. These microscopic fragments can come from packaging, processing and even additives in the food supply c

Nobel laureate David Baltimore dead at 87

Nobel Prize-winning molecular biologist and former Caltech president David Baltimore—who found himself at the center of controversial allegations of fraud against a co-author—has died at 87 from cancer complications.

Are You Using the Wrong Cooking Oil? Here's What a Chef Says

A walk down the cooking oil aisle can feel a bit overwhelming. Olive, avocado, canola, grapeseed, peanut -- they all promise something different, and not every bottle works for every recipe. If you use the wrong one, your dish can end up greasy, bitter or just plain off. The key to choosing the correct one is knowing which oils handle heat best and which are better left raw. High-heat methods like frying or searing call for neutral oils with a higher smoke point, such as canola, avocado or grap
