By one measure, robocalls bombarded US smartphone owners with almost 50 billion calls last year. It’s an out-of-control problem that’s certainly part of the reason consumers seem to be answering their phones less than ever these days — especially with the rise of “spoofed” calls that use local numbers to mask a robocaller’s identity. Which is why you probably won’t be surprised to learn that First Orion, a provider of call protection and call enhancement solutions, predicts that almost half of all calls to mobile phones this year will fall into this category. And that consumers will let the vast majority of calls they get go unanswered.

Now that virtually every feature, design detail and specification of the Galaxy S10 line has leaked, it would seem that there wouldn’t be anything else to discuss until Samsung officially unveils the phones on Wednesday. But the internet never rests, and over the past few days, two prolific leakers have shared high-quality images of several accessories for the S10, such as cases and screen protectors that will likely launch alongside the phones.

The image atop this article, which comes courtesy of Roland Quandt, shows off the LED Cover for the Galaxy S10e (which is expected to be the cheapest and lowest-specced of the three Galaxy S10 models). It apparently features an “Emotional LED Lighting Effect,” which results in the patterns and notifications hinted at in the image.

We’d all love to find the fountain of youth but such a thing just doesn’t seem to exist. We’re born, we grow old (if we’re lucky), and then we die, and that’s just the way it is. Despite that undeniable fact, some very wealthy folks are doing their best to outsmart mother nature by filling their bodies with the blood of people who are much younger than them.

No, this isn’t the plot to a bad science fiction movie. This is actually happening, and there are startups out there that will harvest blood from young donors and then offer plasma infusions to older individuals who mistakenly believe it will somehow keep them healthy. Well, the FDA finally caught wind of this nonsense and is now warning that it’s nothing more than a scam.

We humans like to flatter ourselves and imagine that we have what it takes to survive here on planet Earth, but our reign pales in comparison to that of sharks. Sharks like the great white have been dominating the seas for millions of years, and they didn’t reach the pinnacle by chance.

Sharks have incredible biological abilities that give them an edge over many other species, including humans. Now, new research into shark DNA could potentially hold the key to cures for human diseases like cancer, but first scientists have to understand exactly what is going on in the animals’ genes.
