The nation’s capital is without question one of the most negative cities in the world. You’d certainly have an anecdotal basis for thinking that by just turning on the news every night, watching representatives of both major political parties go to war with each other — as well as with the president — day in and day out. But our basis for that statement is a bit more analytical, thanks to the folks at Smart Destinations who’ve created something called The Emoji Cities Tool. Basically, it’s a fun way to study Twitter data and emoji use to zero in on what the most positive and negative cities are around the world. Also, what they’re tweeting about, and if you were so inclined to know, what emoji they most frequently use. (Spoiler — the most-used emoji around the world is the laughing face with tears. The least used? The thinking face.)

Though not a widespread problem by any means, some iPhone X users over the past few months have experienced issues with non-responsive and temperamental displays. In light of this, Apple today launched a new replacement program for iPhone X users who have encountered this particular touch issue.

Per an Apple support document, impacted devices tend to exhibit one or two behaviors. Specifically, impacted iPhone X units will either not respond to touch at all or will react even when not touched. Either way, it’s undoubtedly a frustrating usability issue, especially for a device that was priced in excess of $999.

Early Black Friday 2018 sales are already live from top retailers like Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy, but plenty of companies are holding back their best Black Friday bargains until Thanksgiving and Black Friday proper.

There are some great deals to be found, such as up to $100 savings on several different Xbox One consoles and bundles. If you already have an Xbox One, definitely take advantage of Microsoft’s deal on Xbox Live Gold, which gets you a 1-month membership for just $1.

There are lots and lots of fancy hotels around the globe, but if you want to spend an evening below the sea, your options are pretty limited. The private Conrad Maldives Rangali Island just opened what it calls the world’s first underwater hotel, and it is an incredible place which can actually fulfill that desire.

The hotel is called The Muraka, which Designboom points out means “coral” in the native Dhivehi. When you book a reservation, you get the entire villa, which features floors above and below the water line. Up top you can enjoy a luxurious living area and exterior porch with attached pool, but the real fun starts when you dip below the waves of the Indian Ocean.

Scientists know a lot about Mars, at least when it comes to what it looks like. Sound, on the other hand, is a lot more challenging, and it’s not like we have high-powered microphones listening to the wind sweep across the Martian plains.

Now, researchers from Anglia Ruskin University and the University of Exeter have created an interesting piece of music that wasn’t just inspired by Mars, but was actually composed by a computer algorithm using a Mars sunrise as data. The result is a surprisingly pleasing piece of music, and you can listen to it yourself.

It sounds incredibly dystopian, and like a nod to Spike Jonze’s 2013 movie Her, but Viv Labs CEO Dag Kittlaus shared his quirky-sounding vision for the future of gadgets and machines during a discussion this week as part of the Samsung Developer Conference. One day, he imagines, you’re going to make a tech purchase of some kind, take it home, pull it out of the box, plug it in — and it’s just going to start talking to you. Politely, like a friend, in a kind of high-tech superseding of the days when you had to navigate start menus and read instructions. It will just know who you are, what you like (thanks to pre-loaded data), and will ask you what you want to do next.
