There are plenty of things that we all know can affect our weight. Cramming heaps of calorie-dense processed foods is a big no-no if you’re trying to get trim, and ensuring you’re getting plenty of exercise will help you keep the pounds off. Simple, right? Well, a new study published in JAMA Internal Medicine draws a very interesting link between a certain common lifestyle habit and overall weight gain, and it’s downright bizarre.

The study, which focused on women between the ages of 35 and 74, shows that sleeping with the TV on — or any other source of bright light in the bedroom — and gaining weight tend to go hand-in-hand. In fact, the data from a five-year period shows that those who have a TV or other light source on while they sleep gained over 10 pounds during that timeframe.

NASA wants to commercialize the International Space Station, and make heaps of cash doing it

NASA has big plans for its immediate future, including missions to Mars and of course the Moon 2024 effort that was completely unaccounted for in the most recent federal budget. When it comes to science, funding can be hard to come by, and many of NASA’s projects are pricey.

So, in the hopes of generating additional revenue that it can then use for its own scientific research efforts, NASA just announced a new effort to embrace commercial interests and open up the International Space Station to private business. New opportunities for commercial visits to the ISS are expected to come swiftly, with pricing already being hashed out.

Closing out the third day of press conferences at E3 2019, Square Enix is going to take the stage on Monday night at 6 PM PT / 9 PM ET to show us all they have in store for the coming months. Square Enix has something of a patchy record when it comes to E3 press conferences, but there are enough blockbuster titles expected to appear at this year’s gathering that the Japanese publisher could potentially have one of the best shows of E3.

One of those blockbuster games is Marvel’s Avengers, which will make its long-awaited debut during the conference. Developed by Crystal Dynamics (Shadow of the Tomb Raider), the game was announced in 2017, but we’ve still yet to see it in action. Will it connect to the MCU? We’ll find out tonight.

Amazon has a brand new product that ties into its Amazon Prime membership program, but caters to a specific segment of the market: Those who might not have good enough credit to get a credit card. The new Amazon Credit Builder tool lets users build their own secured credit card. That means they’ll have to put down a refundable security deposit of anywhere $100 to $1,000 to qualify for the card, and the credit limit will match it.

As Amazon explains, all users will have to do to improve their credit and move to an unsecured credit card is to pay at least their minimum payments on time each month.

Flying can be pretty stressful. You’ve got all your bags and whatnot, plus the snacks you grabbed in the airport terminal, a magazine or six, and you’re already a little tipsy from two hours at the airport bar… what, just me?

Anyway, flying sucks, and a passenger aboard a flight from the UK to Pakistan accidentally made their own trip even more stressful by accidentally triggering the emergency exit door while searching for the airplane toilet. Not only did this cause some serious embarrassment for the poor sap, it also forced the plane to remain grounded for some time.

Apple may have mistakenly leaked the Mac Pro launch window

$%name Apple may have mistakenly leaked the Mac Pro launch window by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley$

It’s often been said that the most powerful division within Apple — outside of Jony Ive’s design group — is the company’s marketing division. It may sound counter-intuitive at first glance, but given how seriously Apple takes advertising and product secrecy, the marketing folks within Apple are often aware of release dates and comprehensive product specs far in advance, and often before some of the engineers tasked with working on a given product in question.

With that said, Apple earlier today may have inadvertently revealed when the recently unveiled next-gen Mac Pro is slated to arrive. It has since been changed, but for a few hours earlier today, visitors to Apple’s website who clicked the “Notify me” option with respect to the Mac Pro and Pro Display XDR release saw a pop-up window indicating that the machine and the display were “Coming in September.”
