The Galaxy S11’s design has been finished, a leaker said a few days ago, suggesting that the first Galaxy S11 should soon be here. While we’re yet to see purported schematics, renders, or actual photos of then next Samsung flagships, we did have plenty of leaks in the past few days that detailed some of the Galaxy S11’s specs, including the camera features, display tech, and battery sizes. A new leak from a trusted source now reveals some of the key Galaxy S11 specs, including screen sizes and connectivity options.

Google Maps is one of Google’s best and most popular apps and an application that Google often updates. Some of the improvements are significant additions to the app, like the Waze incident reports, the incognito mode, and AR navigation support, while others are much smaller in scope. The latest update may be seen as a minor upgrade, but it’s definitely the kind of privacy features a set of Google Maps users will definitely appreciate.

Steve Wozniak joins critics who think Apple Card algorithm might have a major flaw – gender bias

Over the weekend, one of Apple Card’s most high-profile users — who also happens to be none other than Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak — took the dramatic step of joining in the calls from critics who want more government oversight over the algorithms used to make decisions about card users.

Case in point: Wozniak said Goldman Sachs, the financial services giant that teamed up with Apple to offer the banking-type services and infrastructure associated with the card, gave Wozniak a 10x Apple Card credit line compared to the one extended to his wife. That’s despite the fact that the couple shares various bank and credit card accounts and that other lenders more or less treat them the same for credit purposes.

Scientists can fool poachers by making fake rhino horns out of horse hair

Rhinos have been hunted and killed for their horns for so long that the many species are teetering on the brink of extinction. Some subspecies, like those of the black rhino, are extinct in areas where they once thrived and nearly extinct in others. The situation is incredibly dire and conservation efforts haven’t been as effective as one would hope, but science might be able to step in with a solution.

In a new paper published in Scientific Reports, researchers explain how they manufactured fake rhino horn using horse hair. The fake horn is similar in look and feel to the real thing, and even the chemical composition of the faux horn is similar to an actual horn. This could change everything.

Cable TV subscriber losses in 2020 could top the populations of Chicago and Houston combined

This new chapter of the Streaming Wars that we’re in, with Netflix continuing to crush it and new streamers on the way from Disney, HBO’s parent company, and others, one of the things you hear said a lot it is that the embarrassment of streaming riches all those sources provide makes viewers the winners. That consumers come out the best in the end, because we’ve got so much great stuff to choose from — especially since all this competition should theoretically make the streamers all step up their game, knowing what they’re up against.

But if we consumers have it best in this scenario, what about the opposite end of the spectrum? Who’s in the worst or rather the least desirable position here? For that answer, we turn to a new analyst report that paints a dire picture of what cable TV providers will face in 2020.

We’re just hours away from the launch of Disney+, which brings with it a library of over 600 movies and shows, but the king of the media streaming world continues to chug along as if this is any standard week. This isn’t an especially busy week for Netflix, but there are a few notable releases, including the mystery film Earthquake Bird and the return of original series like Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj and The Toys That Made Us.

I’m also looking forward to I’m with the Band: Nasty Cherry. Chloe Chaidez popped up on my radar a few months ago when I heard the song “Memphis” from her band Kitten on a Spotify playlist. She’s also one of the leads in the band Nasty Cherry, and I’m down for pretty much anything Charli XCX is involved with.

The sports highlight of the year happened during the recent Monday Night Football contest between the Dallas Cowboys and the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium. No (human) players were involved. The star of the show was an as-of-yet unnamed black cat that appeared shortly before halftime.

It’s been a big topic of discussion this week, due in no small part to the curse the cat placed upon the lowly Giants. With a stadium packed with people and an army of security guards on hand, you’d think there’s no way it could avoid capture. You’d be wrong.
