Top 10 Power Rangers Outfits

Okay, even I”ll admit, this is a strange one. Who would think one could put together a list of the top ten Power Ranger outfits? Well, thank god WatchMojo do not shy away from a challenge (even if they are stretching it a bit with this one).

Not that it matters, but I am a generation 1 guy. Just saying.


Bringing a Knife to a Gun Fight: Fallout Logic

“Hey, that guy just killed a group of our fellow raiders, and it took him minimal effort and cost him no health at all. I should charge him with a small knife I stole from an empty kitchen while screaming “vengeance” at the top of my lungs. I am sure that will end well for me.”

I love Fallout, but you gotta admit, Fallout logic is a thing unto itself.

How memories form and how we lose them [Science Video]

Think back to a really vivid memory. Got it? Now try to remember what you had for lunch three weeks ago. That second memory probably isn’t as strong—but why not? Why do we remember some things, and not others? And why do memories eventually fade? Catharine Young gives the basics on memory and memory loss.

New Smartphone ‘Never Runs Out Of Space’

robin

A smartphone with (kinda) limitless storage is now on sale to the public. Its main feature is a smart idea, but probably not worth paying a premium for.

The Robin handset from Nextbit was funded on Kickstarter with over a million dollars of pledges. It was originally sold to pledgers for $299. It’s now on general sale for $399.

The main feature of the phone is that it spells an end to worrying about storage space. It automatically backs up both apps and data under circumstances of your choosing (the default is whenever you have a Wi-Fi connection and the phone has a power connection.)

As and when you run short of space, the phone automatically removes photos and apps as needed, making sure to only remove those which are backed up and giving priority to those which you haven’t used or viewed for the longest time.

The operating system (modified Android) includes a one-tap option to immediately restore any app or photo removed in this way (assuming you have a data connection of course.) The phone keeps a record of what’s been backed up in the cloud, so it can safely remove apps and photos even when it doesn’t have a data connection.

For added reassurance, there’s also a set of LEDs on the back which light to show when the phone is connected to the cloud servers and backing up.

The makers do seem to be targeting the more hardcore Android user, making a point of shipping it with no third-party apps preinstalled, including an unlocked bootloader, and stressing that you can install any ROM or brick the device without affecting the warranty.

The big limitation, ironically enough, is the storage. The phone itself has 32GB on board, with the cloud backup limited to 100GB, which seems to undermine the main selling point. Given that top line phones often support microSD cards up to 128GB, and brand name cards of that capacity can be had for $50-60, it doesn’t seem worth paying $400 for the Robin solely for the storage feature. That said, if the reviews are good, it may be that the makers wind up licensing the feature (assuming it uses protected technology) to a major manufacturer.
