Regardless of what your own personal idea of a dream job might be, you have to admit that being paid to lounge around in bed sounds pretty awesome. That’s exactly what NASA and ESA want a crew of volunteers to do in order to test the potential benefits of artificial gravity for long-haul space missions.

The research, which is being conducted in Germany, will require a total of 24 participants to remain in bed for two full months. Volunteers will be seated at a slight incline so that their legs are slightly higher than their heads, reducing blood flow to the extremities, thus causing muscle deterioration.

It’s now been a couple of weeks since the crash of a Boeing 737 MAX 8 forced airlines around the world to ground the popular aircraft, leaving none in service. The crash was the second in the span of a year for this Boeing model, raising suspicion of a critical issue with the aircraft.

Now, in an attempt to address any issues the 737 MAX might have, Boeing is reportedly testing new flight software that, as CNN reports, might have played a role in at least one of the two devastating crashes. The new software alters the aircraft’s Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS) to prevent it from being triggered erroneously.

Just a few days ago, word surfaced that Apple was looking to impart a bit of its AirPods design on its line of Powerbeats headphones. Specifically, it’s believed that Apple is working on a pair of headphones that will look like Powerbeats3 headphones, only without the connecting cable. The earbuds would still wrap around a user’s ear as to provide extra stability during vigorous exercise.

Interestingly, there were rumors a few weeks back that Apple was going to release a pair of black AirPods 2. That, of course, didn’t come to pass, but a newly leaked image reveals that a black pair of Powerbeats earbuds — with a brand new design — may be coming sooner rather than later. What’s more, CNET last week relayed that Apple’s new Powerbeats design may hit store shelve by the end of April.

The tech industry certainly has its share of scandals, but the drama surrounding Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou certainly takes things to the next level. This past December, Wanzhou was arrested in Canada (at the behest of the United States) on charges of wire fraud and improper business dealings with Iran. Wanzhou may ultimately be extradited to the U.S. as China, not surprisingly, has vehemently denied the allegations on Wanzhou’s behalf. As Huawei executives would have you believe, the charges are simply a means to hinder the company’s growth.

The legal case involving Wanzhou is still playing out, but recently released court documents include a surprising revelation regarding the gear Wanzhou had in her possession when she was arrested. Originally made public by the Twitter account theBreakerNews, it turns out that Wanzhou had a penchant for Apple products.
