SpaceX’s Starship project is one if its most ambitious efforts yet. The company envisions various versions of the spacecraft eventually traveling to the Moon, Mars, and even to other star systems, but first it has to get off the ground.

The SpaceX Starhopper is the prototype test vehicle that the company is using to test the technologies that will power the full-sized Starship in the future, and it’s scheduled to fire up again tonight. That’s a big deal for SpaceX, but it might be an even bigger deal for the residents of Boca Chica Village in Texas which sits a very short distance from the Starhopper test launch facility.

Disney’s streaming service will launch in less than three months, but the closer we get, the more reasons we have to be excited about Netflix’s newest contender. Just recently, we learned that Disney+ cheapest subscription will support four simultaneous streams and 4K video playback at launch, which tops Netflix.

On the other hand, Netflix does have an advantage when it comes to binge-watching TV series, as Disney+ will only release one new episode per week for the original shows it streams on the service. But before people get to actually enjoy all the new Disney+ shows coming their way, Disney has to ensure it can deliver a smooth service experience, something the company is very concerned about.

We’ve all heard a lot about genetic modification this year, thanks in large part to one Chinese scientist taking it upon himself to edited the genes of human babies. His work was universally decried by fellow scientists and he got himself into some serious trouble because of it.

But genetic modification is an incredible tool that is showing promise in besting some really awful conditions, and it might not be long before scientists can selectively “fix” inherited diseases before they become a problem. A new study published in Cell Research offers hope for making conditions like Huntington’s disease a thing of the past.

A Chinese tech giant has inserted itself into what’s largely been a two-man competition in the smart speaker category up to this point between Amazon and Google.

Amazon’s place as the leading shipper with its line of Alexa-powered speakers remains unmatched. But a new report from tracking firm Canalys reveals a surprising finding — that Baidu, which only serves Chinese consumers, actually shipped more smart speakers and related display devices in the second quarter than Google, bumping Google down to third place globally.

All-screen phones are clearly the future, but that future is substantially more fragile than what long-time smartphone owners may be accustomed to. Both Apple and Samsung have released flagship phones over the last year that have displays which nearly run from the top of the device all the way to the bottom, and as a result, the chances of cracking that display are higher than they’ve ever been. But now that they’re both available to the public, which phone is more durable: Apple’s iPhone XS Max from 2018 or the recently-released Galaxy Note 10+?

“I’m actually as proud of the things we haven’t done as the things I have done,” Steve Jobs once famously said. “Innovation is saying ‘no’ to 1,000 things. You have to pick carefully.”

The import of the quote above remains a core component of Apple’s DNA, and has remained so even in the eight years since Steve Jobs handed over the CEO position to Tim Cook. Indeed, Apple even made a point of noting, during the intro video it ran at WWDC 2013, that its design process includes a “thousand no’s for every yes.”

Studies in recent years have revealed that chronic head trauma often suffered by professional football players can have long-lasting effects, but it’s safe to say that there’s still a lot we don’t know about how frequent concussions can alter a person’s brain.

Mood disorders, depression, and personality changes have already been linked to concussions endured in the NFL, but a new study by Harvard University reveals that hormonal changes and even erectile dysfunction are also likely related to repeated, sports-related head trauma. A new paper explains the Harvard team’s findings in JAMA Neurology.

As streaming video providers like Netflix increasingly replace the cable packages that consumers used to rely on for the majority of TV and movie content they enjoy, variations between the respective streamers become more and more important. To the extent that most of us in the media, for example, often fall back on ranking them on the basis of which provider has which show and what you can watch where.

That’s certainly important, especially with new arrivals coming onto the scene like Apple TV+ and Disney+, both of which are launching in November and are using the makeup of their respective catalogs to reel in subscribers.

If you want to see where the iPad is going, all you really have to do is take a look at where the iPhone is today. Ever since Apple released the iPad back in 2010, the popular tablet has routinely adopted features originally introduced on the iPhone a year or two earlier.

Well now, the tables may have turned. A new report from The Elec relays that Apple’s iPad Pro model in 2020 will incorporate time-of-flight camera sensors that will able to more ably determine how far away a given object in a room is. If this sounds familiar, it’s because reputed analyst Ming-Chi Kuo previously claimed that the iPhone in 2020 would receive the same feature.
