What happens when a horrendous typhoon like Soudelor hits land? We’ve seen already that the typhoon’s winds are strong enough to lift Boeing 747 airplanes off the ground. And now a new video shows the typhoon is powerful enough to move a 720-ton steel ball (let’s call it a mass damper) suspended atop of a skyscraper (let’s call it Taipei 101, one of the world’s tallest buildings, measuring 1,651 feet).

While a round Apple Watch likely won’t be released in the near future, Apple fans can at least take solace that Samsung has shown them just how nice an Apple Watch would look if it had a round face.

One of the more widely voiced complaints regarding online dating is that you never know who you’re truly talking to on the other end. The man who claims he’s fit and 6’1 tall may, in reality, be a portly 5’7 of a fellow. Or, even worse, perhaps the man you’re talking to co-opted the identity of Forrest Gump on his Tinder profile for a few laughs.
Sound crazy? Sure, but that’s exactly what one knucklehead decided to do recently.

As BlackBerry has found out time and time again, almost no one is buying smartphones with physical keyboards anymore. Samsung never got the memo, however, which is why it made one of the silliest accessories it could possibly come up with for its shiny new phablets: An extremely ugly physical QWERTY keyboard that you shouldn’t be caught dead using with the Galaxy Note 5 or Galaxy S6 edge+.

Moments ago, Samsung took the wraps off of its next-generation phablets for 2015. The Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy S6 edge+ are Samsung’s first phablets made from premium materials that compliment their gorgeous displays and cutting-edge internal components. They’re truly stunning devices, and they can both be considered best-in-class.
The S6 edge+ features an interesting design, just like the S6 edge it’s based on, but it’s clearly the less appealing of the two phones. It’s a Galaxy S6 edge… but bigger. Meanwhile, the Galaxy Note 5 sports a fantastic design and special features that only Samsung’s Note lineup can offer. Despite the fact that Apple’s iPhone 6 Plus is the best-selling phablet in the world, some might say Samsung’s Note lineup offers a superior phablet experience.
Since these are clearly the top two supersized smartphones in the world right now, let’s take a look at five areas where the Galaxy Note 5 has the edge over Apple’s iPhone 6 Plus.
