Don’t get too excited, Conor. (AP Photo/Julio Cortez, File) As the drumbeat for a Floyd Mayweather-Conor McGregor fight grew progressively louder over the past two years - culminating in Wednesday’s announcement that the boxing match between the pugilist and the mixed martial artist would take place Aug. 26 in Las Vegas - one constant remained: The bout would be interesting in theory but a bloodbath on paper, with Mayweather wiping the floor with McGregor. And indeed, the early odds reflect that. (For the gambling uninitiated, -700 means one would have to wager $700 to win $100 on a Mayweather victory. It implies that the boxing champion has nearly a 90 percent chance of winning.) But why? McGregor is seen as one of UFC’s best punchers. Shouldn’t that translate from the octagon into the boxing ring? Here’s why it might not. He’s never seriously trained as a boxer before this year. There really isn’t much more to say about this. Boxing has been Mayweather’s occupation fo...

Twitter’s latest redesign makes the iOS app look more like Android Twitter is rolling out a significant redesign today for its mobile apps that brings a more unified look to its app for Android, iOS, Tweetdeck, and Twitter Lite. The design, which builds on some changes to the Android app over the past year, moves the profile to a new side navigation tab while freshening up the apps’ typography. The new side tab, which can be accessed by tapping your profile picture on the top of the timeline, lets you access your profile, Moments, and settings. The rest of the app is organized more or less the same, but with a much greater use of white space. In-app icons now have a softer, rounded design, with the reply button changed to a speech bubble, because people thought the previously used arrow-shaped button “meant delete or go back to a previous page,” Twitter says. If you really thought this please DM me! On iOS, the new design replaces Twitter’s in-app browser with Safari ...

The relationship between Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and President Donald Trump got off to a rocky start shortly after the president’s inauguration. | Getty Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull offered his best impression of President Donald Trump Wednesday night at an event packed with reporters, joking that he and the president “are winning so much. We are winning like we have never won before.” The remarks from Turnbull came at a press ball similar to the annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington, where the president traditionally delivers light-hearted, joking remarks. Trump, who has loudly complained about his treatment by the press, broke with decades of tradition and did not attend this year’s event. Turnbull’s event, according to a report from the Wall Street Journal , was supposed to be off the record, but recordings of his remarks nonetheless emerged. “It was beautiful. It was the most beautiful putting-me-at-ease ever,” the pr...

Qatar Buys U.S. F-15s Days After Trump Says Country Funds Terror Qatar said Wednesday it has signed a $12 billion deal to buy F-15 fighter jets from the United States - just days after President Donald Trump accused the country of being a "high-level" sponsor of terrorism. The announcement came after the country's defense minister met with Defense Secretary Jim Mattis in Washington. News of the sale comes amid a diplomatic crisis. Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Egypt, and the United Arab Emirates cut diplomatic and transport ties with Qatar last week and accused it of supporting terrorism and regional unrest. Despite these allegations, Qatar is a crucial ally to Washington in the Middle East. It is home to 10,000 American troops and a major American military base that acts as the center of U.S. operations in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan. The sale appeared to be another example of the confusing series of mixed messages sent by the Trump administration, in which the Whit...

After Wednesday’s early morning shooting that wounded multiple people, including House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.), and left the shooter dead, late-night hosts Stephen Colbert and Trevor Noah attempted to put the day’s news into perspective. Colbert began "The Late Show" by condemning the attack. “Violence of any kind is never justified and is the last refuge of the incompetent,” he said. Colbert then praised and played the statements made by House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Ca.), who said that “we will use this occasion as one that brings us together and not separates us further,” and House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), who expressed that “an attack on one of us is an attack on all of us." Taking his own advice, Colbert even put aside his usual ribbing to give a hat tip to President Trump. “Thank you to to the congressional leadership and to the president for responding to this act of terror in a way that gives us hope that no matter our difference...

NASA Confirms Earth Will Experience 15 Days Of Darkness In November 2017 There have been many reports about the changes our planet Earth could endure in the months and years to come but many of them didn’t really pan out, making us question everything we read on the internet. But this time, NASA confirms what’s been circling the web recently - our planet Earth will experience total darkness for 15 days in November 2017 starting from November 15 to November 29. NASA reports that this strange occurrence was expected to happen but they didn’t know exactly when. Upon more detailed examination the astronomers from NASA confirmed that the phenomenon will start on November 15 at 3:00 am and will most likely last until November 30, 4:45 pm. According to experts this blackout will be caused by an astronomical event between Jupiter and Venus. There was even a detailed 1000 pages document written by Charles Bolden, head of NASA explaining the strange event to officials at the White Ho...

Meizu Pro 7 could have a second display on its back Phones with second screens are nothing new. LG and HTC put a strip at the top of their phones. Yota even has a full-sized one made of e-ink. So when rumors swirl that Chinese OEM Meizu is planning to have one for its upcoming Pro 7, it might not be that much of a shock. But how and where it plans to implement it, at least based on these leaks, could be. That’s because the Meizu Pro 7 might have a somewhat small second display in just a small section of its back. We aren’t entirely sure about the accuracy of this word of mouth rumor, especially considering how far out it looks in practice. In a way, it seems to combine the YotaPhone’s use of e-ink with LG’s not fullscreen second screen idea. But not all good ideas, when combined, yields another good idea. The leak comes in the form of photos of what is allegedly the Meizu Pro 7’s frame and back cover, showing a rather odd cutout on the left side of the device. The theory ...

LG V30 could launch in August, G7 in January It seems that the term “race to market” will play an even bigger role in the future of the smartphone wars. Samsung has already been rumored to be tempting fate by rushing the Galaxy Note 8 out the door. That may also have prompted LG to move up its own production schedule by a month or two. Industry watchers are now expecting the LG V30 to break cover in August, a month earlier than the V20, and next year’s G7 flagship to launch two months earlier in January. The primary motivation to release early is to beat rivals in the race for buyers’ money. And to steer clear of Apple’s more fixed cadence. Samsung proved that strategy wise when it launched the Galaxy S7 last year earlier than usual to much success. However, that plan backfired when it rushed the Galaxy Note 7, with disastrous consequences. LG did get a foretaste of that “release early” success when it was able to launch the G6 a good month before the Galaxy S8. In the ...

Google Drive will soon make it easy to Backup and Sync PCs, Macs The cloud storage wars just got a bit more interesting. Box just recently announced its Box Drive offering to practically replace shared network folders at work. Now Google is also expanding the scope of its own Google Drive cloud solution but with a nod towards regular consumers instead of the enterprise. With the upcoming Backup and Sync tool, users on Windows and macOS will be able to select whole folders to sync with Google Drive, making it easy as pie to store all your data on the mothership. The way Google Drive traditionally works is that you upload files to the cloud. Desktop apps offer the convenience of making it look like Google Drive is part of your local storage but, in reality, it is just smoke and mirrors. You really are still uploading files to Drive, which updates a local copy of the file sitting inside a special folder on your local storage. The new Google Drive attacks the problem from a...

Your iPhone could soon contain your entire medical history While most tech companies are scrambling to climb the machine learning mountain, Apple has its sights on a different goal. Sure, it did just dip its fingers in the smart home speaker jar, but its interests apparently lie elsewhere. According to insiders, Apple is looking to turn your iPhone into a one-stop shop for your medical information, with the goal of making it easier for users to share their information with health care personnel without having to go through the hoops and potential errors involved in traditional health care systems. That Apple is interested in the health industry isn’t exactly that big of a secret, but never has its ambitions been regarded to be this big. Its current HealthKit platform, for example, has mostly been concerned with the basics like activities, calories, weight, and heart rate. There have also been talks about hardware and software to aid diabetics, supposedly a matter near and d...

2018 Hyundai Kona First Drive: Better late than never for all-new SUV Is it ok to be late to the party if you make a stylish entrance? That would appear to be the question asked by the new 2018 Hyundai Kona. The Korean automaker’s first ‘cute ute,’ a subcompact crossover aimed at the growing slice of buyers trading in sedans for the all-wheel drive hatchbacks on stilts that are taking over the industry. The Kona’s appearance in showrooms might lag chronologically behind options like the Jeep Renegade, the Mazda CX-3, and the Honda HR-V - we’re unlikely to see it go on sale in the United States until the first quarter of 2018 - but Hyundai has pegged its hopes on pairing strong value with appealing design in its bid for the affections of space-seeking shoppers. Fortunately, I didn’t have to wait until next year to sample the Kona, as I had the opportunity to speak to the engineers and designers behind the SUV as well as drive Hyundai’s latest at its research and development ...
