July was an amazing month for original Netflix content… obviously. Any month that includes a new season of Stranger Things is going to be an amazing month. Of course, Stranger Things season 3 was just one of 44 different original movies, specials, and seasons of shows that Netflix released over the course of the month in July, and you can check out the full list of original releases right here to make sure you didn’t miss anything good.

Now, however, July is behind us. August is here and with it comes a whole new slate of original programming on Netflix. We don’t have anything quite as epic as Stranger Things to look forward to this month, but there’s a ton of new Netflix content set to hit the company’s catalog over the course of the month, including the return of one smash hit show and the premiere season of another hotly anticipated original series that could become Netflix’s next big thing.

Apple unveiled its Arcade gaming subscription service back in March, but it will not be available to buyers until later this fall. Apple hasn’t revealed the pricing for Arcade, but it did say that Arcade games will contain no ads or in-app purchases. The games will work online and offline, and they’ll be developed specifically for the service.

Google, meanwhile, launched its Stadia game streaming service that lets you play some of the hottest PC games on any device, as long as you own them, with Google’s servers handling the heavy workloads. Stadia isn’t quite the Arcade competitor you might have expected, but Google has an alternative for Arcade as well, called Play Pass. And Play Pass isn’t only about mobile gaming.

It’s tempting to think that two locations separated by over 6,500 miles wouldn’t have much of an impact on one another, but nothing could be farther from the truth. Our planet is like a vast web, and continents can play a major role in the health of another, even when separated by an ocean.

That’s the message behind a new study by the Unversity of Miami’s Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, which reveals that fires which rage in Africa actually fertilize the Amazon rainforest in South America. The study, which was published Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, also suggests the Atlantic and Southern oceans benefit greatly from the smoke of African fires.

They call him “Le Rocketman,” an affectionate nod to the flying Frenchman Franky Zapata’s ambition to cross the English Channel via a jet-powered hoverboard — something he’s going to try a second time to pull off this weekend after crashing into the water before.

As we previously noted, Zapata crashed on his prior attempt to cross the channel just a few days ago after rocky waves disrupted his attempt to do a quick mid-flight refueling stop. His next attempt, per French media, is set for Sunday.

There was at least one common theme reflected in the earnings that handset arch-rivals Apple and Samsung both reported this week – declines in revenue attributable to both companies’ pricey smartphones.

Apple, for its part, no longer breaks out unit sales anymore but did disclose a decline in iPhone revenue Tuesday of 12% compared to the same quarter in 2018. The iPhone maker generated $25.99 billion in revenue from the smartphone during its most recent fiscal quarter, down from a little more than $29 billion in the year-ago period. At Samsung, the story was similar.

It was just a few days ago that SpaceX shot one of its Dragon cargo ships into space, and it was packed with supplies for the crew of the International Space Station. Now, Russia has done the same with its Progress 73 cargo vessel, only this time it arrived much more rapidly.

The spacecraft, which was sent skyward atop a Russian Soyuz rocket, completed two orbits of Earth as it sped towards its destination and made its way from Earth to the space station in just over three hours, which is a breakneck pace.

The Netflix fantasy series that’s shaping up to fill the Game of Thrones-sized hole in all our hearts can’t get here fast enough. The first trailer for The Witcher was shown off during Comic-Con and sent expectations soaring even higher — and now it seems the show was so buzzy from the get-go that it apparently generated a mad scramble from actors desperate to land the starring role. The one that ultimately went to Henry Cavill, who will portray the white-haired heroic monster hunter Geralt of Rivia.

In a new interview, he explains how he beat out more than 200 actors for the part and that he basically bugged his agents and Netflix until they finally relented and he won the role.
