The Morning After: NASA has news

It's Thursday, February 23, 2017. Hey, good morning! You look fabulous. Good Morning After. NASA’s big announcement could offer us a future among the stars, Apple’s own ‘spaceship’ gets a boring name and another Instagram feature you might never notice.   And they’re relatively close   NASA discovers multiple, possibly inhabitable, Earth-sized planets At a news conference in Washington, DC, NASA revealed that, using the Spitzer Space Telescope, they've found seven new Earth-sized planets orbiting a star just 40 light years away from us. What's more, three of those exist within the "Goldilocks zone," which means they could be habitable. This news comes at an exciting time in the search for planets beyond our own solar system. Since the start of just this year, researchers have discovered the presence of water on a planet just 50 light years away, the Keck Observatory's exoplanet imager has come online and a team of researchers from a compendium of universities has released a trove of observational data from the Keck's HiRES imager spanning more than two decades. ‘Apple Park’ Apple’s spaceship campus will open in April   Steve Jobs announced plans for a second Cupertino campus way back in 2006, and in April, the building will finally open for business. Dubbed Apple Park, the company’s new 175-acre HQ features a 2.8 million-square-foot ring-shaped main building powered entirely by renewable energy. The campus also features the 1,000-seat Steve Jobs Theater, a 20-foot tall glass cylinder with a carbon fiber roof. Employees will move in over the next six months, while the rest of us can plan a stop by the visitor’s center and its requisite Apple Store.   Spoiler: The answer is money   Why YouTube and PewDiePie are stuck with each other After YouTuber Felix Kjellberg (aka PewDiePie) posted videos with anti-Semitic “jokes,” he quickly lost deals with Maker Studios and YouTube itself. Of course, his channel is still on the service, and serving up ads, just without new episodes of his YouTube Red show or Google Preferred’s promotional push.   So does this mean their relationship will come to an end entirely? Probably not. Without a bigger or more profitable platform to jump to, Kjellberg has carried on uploading videos, and as they continue to pull in millions of views, YouTube will keep letting him do it -- for now.   Sponsored Content by StackCommerce How you can master machine learning and AI for under $20. At least it’s not ripping off Snapchat this time? Instagram’s new feature: slideshows   The latest update for Facebook’s photo service recognizes that sometime it takes more than one picture to properly crush the ‘gram. Seriously, sometimes users want to post everything from an event without spreading photos across their followers’ (algorithmically-sorted) feeds, and the new carousel-style photo sets make that easy, holding up to 10 photos or videos per post. 5G or 5GHz   T-Mobile pushes forward with LTE-U and Verizon plans 5G wireless tests   Faster wireless service is coming one way or another. While we wait for 5G to become a reality, carriers like T-Mobile are planning to roll out LTE-U as a way to get gigabit wireless connections cracking. The FCC just approved the first devices that can tap into the 5GHz frequency band for extra capacity and speed, which T-Mobile plans to launch this spring. Looking further out, Verizon will follow AT&T with next-gen 5G wireless tests in 11 cities by mid-2017. But wait, there's more... 1. AMD returns to high-end gaming CPUs with Ryzen 7 2. Emails obtained by court order show close ties between the oil industry and EPA chief Scott Pruitt 3. Apple buys and shuts down Asian social network iCloud.net 4. 'Overwatch' streamer Kephrii destroys his in-game imposter 5. IBM, U of Maryland quantum computers engage in an algorithm-crunching battle 6. Tesla: Model 3 production is on track to start in July The Morning After is a new daily newsletter from Engadget designed to help you fight off FOMO.

The Morning After: Etch A Sketch again

It's Wednesday, February 22, 2017. Hey, good morning!  Welcome to your Wednesday. And maybe the future. NASA has a big announcement today, Qualcomm is promising phone chips that'll gulp down data faster than your current fiber connection, and more immediately, your next iPhone might pack a depth-sensing camera. Yes, we all find excitement in different places. Tune in to NASA TV at 1PM ET   NASA has a new discovery to announce This afternoon, scientists will reveal a discovery “beyond our solar system.” The new findings have to do with exoplanets, aka planets that orbit stars other than our own. We don’t know what they’ve found -- if it’s Earth 2 then can we all promise not to tell Mat Smith? --  but all will be revealed in a live streamed press conference at 1PM ET, followed by an AMA on Reddit.   This plan doesn’t use them to replace drivers   UPS tests drone/truck delivery combo   The FAA still needs to approve the system before it can roll out, but UPS just showed off an idea to use drones to deliver packages. Using tech we’ve seen before from the Workhorse Group, flying machines take off from a delivery truck. While the driver continues to their next stop, the drone delivers its package and returns to the truck autonomously.    1.2Gbps, to be exact   Qualcomm’s new LTE chip is faster than gigabit fiber The X20 chip is capable of simultaneously receiving up to 12 streams of LTE data. That’s good for bandwidth as high as 1.2Gbps for your phone or tablet when it arrives in 2018. Bonding 4G streams together (it can also upload at up to 150Mbps) is the best we can hope for until proper 5G tech arrives, assuming you can find a tower nearby ready to deliver that speed (and bandwidth caps it won’t instantly exceed.)   After losing a speaking gig and book deal   Internet troll Milo Yiannopoulos resigns from Breitbart News   There’s no need to waste any more of our valuable ink on the details. Wait, this newsletter isn’t printed in ink? It should be.   It could power a car while also capturing carbon dioxide.   Tiny 'engine' turns natural gas into hydrogen   The dilemma with hydrogen is that while fueling your car with the stuff is faster than charging an EV, making and distributing it is inefficient and polluting. A team from the Georgia Institute of Technology has created a four-stroke "engine" that converts natural gas (methane) into hydrogen from just about anywhere, while capturing the CO2. It could one day hook up to your natural gas line, letting you fuel your car from home in a non-polluting way like you can with an EV. More G. Intel and Qualcomm are steadily gearing up for 5G   There’s still no unified 5G standard for the next generation of mobile communication, but boy, do some companies have plenty of ideas. Qualcomm and Intel are hoping to play essential roles in the 5G ecosystem, which is poised to be at least ten times faster than existing networks and offer features like near-zero latency.    Apple owns the company that helped build the original Kinect.   The next iPhone might have depth-sensing front camera   Rumors of what the next iPhone will be like are coming in hot and heavy. Last week, well-connected Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo noted that the new handsets would nix the home button for a touch-friendly "function area." Now, a KGI Securities report says that the upcoming OLED iPhone will feature a "revolutionary" front camera that's capable of sensing 3D space via infrared. Intrigued? Nothing is sacred The Etch A Sketch got an LCD screen   So many feelings. But wait, there's more... 1. The reborn 'MST3K' will stream on Netflix April 14th 2. Alienware 13 Kaby Lake review 3. SodaStream recalls 51,000 bottles because they might explode 4. New brain-computer interface technology delivers faster and more accurate typing The Morning After is a new daily newsletter from Engadget designed to help you fight off FOMO.
