Amazon Is Going All In, The Galaxy S25 Ultra Is Nearly Twice as Cheap as on Samsung’s Official Site

Apple may be the go-to brand on Prime Day with Amazon discounting everything (except the iPhone 16) but in smartphones, there’s yet another giant worth noting—Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. Released back in January, the S25 Ultra is the definition of Android top-shelf and until today, it’s hung tough at its MSRP on Samsung’s home page. But on Prime Day, Amazon is coming huge for Prime members, offering a massive $350 instant discount on this premium device: That brings the price down to just $949 fo

iPhone 17 Air to get a ‘barely blue’ color option, suggests leaker

A leaker with a mixed track record has suggested that the “main” color option for the upcoming iPhone 17 Air will be a “very light” blue. They go on to say that the color will be so faint that it will simply appear to be white in some lights. This seems reminiscent of “barely blue” colors we’ve seen from Apple before … Fixed focus digital posted on Weibo: Blue is probably the main color of iPhone 17 Air this time.

The OnePlus Nord 5's Marble Design Is My Favorite Thing About This Phone

It's a little shallow that my favorite thing about the OnePlus Nord 5 -- and its cheaper sibling the Nord CE5 -- is the design on the back of the phone. But in a world where most budget-focused phones are identical gray slabs, it's refreshing to see something a bit different. The back of the Nord 5 has an unusual design that looks like marble. I don't know how OnePlus has done it, but the way that the material catches the light makes it look deeply three dimensional. Running your finger across

A Samsung Tri-Fold Phone Could Be Coming, According to a Leak

While Samsung has been showing off mobile display concepts with three screens at trade events like CES for several years, it might finally be bringing one to market if a leaked UI animation is any indicator.

The screens would be capable of displaying different information or working in unison as one large displa

Charles Babbage and deciphering codes (1864)

Charles Babbage wrote an autobiography Passages from the Life of a Philosopher which was published in London in 1864 . In our biography of Babbage we have quoted several passages from the book which tell us about his life and the analytical engine. Here we quote from Chapter XVIII of the book where Babbage writes about deciphering. What we present here is only an extract. In fact we omit a more technical part which describes the considerable effort that he had put in constructing dictionaries wi

New iPhone 17 Pro renders highlight aluminum design, repositioned Apple logo

A new image from Apple leaker Majin Bu provides a new look at the repositioned Apple logo on the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro. Last week we got our first look at what the new Apple logo placement would look like, though this new image provides a much clearer picture. One of the less talked about design elements of the new iPhone 17 Pro design is the fact that Apple will be shifting to a two-tone design of sorts, with an all aluminum frame and camera bump. However, for wireless charging, MagSafe, and

Samsung and Epic Games call a truce in app store lawsuit

Epic Games, buoyed by the massive success of Fortnite, has spent the last few years throwing elbows in the mobile industry to get its app store on more phones. It scored an antitrust win against Google in late 2023, and the following year it went after Samsung for deploying "Auto Blocker" on its Android phones, which would make it harder for users to install the Epic Games Store. Now, the parties have settled the case just days before Samsung will unveil its latest phones. The Epic Store drama

New sphere-packing record stems from an unexpected source

The advantage of Rogers’ method was that you didn’t have to start with a particularly efficient lattice to get an efficient sphere packing. You just had to choose the right ellipsoid. But this introduced a new complication. Unlike a sphere, which is completely defined by a single number — its radius — an ellipsoid is defined by several axes of different lengths. The higher the dimension, the greater the number of directions you can stretch your ellipsoid in, and the more options you have for wha
