| Scientists have 3D printed the most advanced artificial cornea ever using human cells Posted: 30 May 2018 04:37 PM PDT  Scientists have 3D printed the thin protective film over the eye, called the cornea, using human cells — and it's the most advanced version of an artificial cornea yet. Should the technology improve, it could help millions of people see again. It was tricky to find the right recipe for an ink that's thin enough to squirt through a 3D printer's nozzle, says Che Connon, a tissue engineer at Newcastle University who was one of the creators of the artificial cornea. This bio-ink didn't just have to be thin — it also had to be stiff enough that it could hold its shape as a 3D structure. To get the right consistency, the researchers added a jelly-like goo called alginate and stem cells extracted from donor corneas, along with some ropy... |
| The US is limiting visas for Chinese international students majoring in tech Posted: 30 May 2018 03:24 PM PDT  The US State Department announced yesterday it's going to shorten the length of visas granted to Chinese citizens, a move to combat the supposed theft of US intellectual property, according to the Associated Press. Although the visa application process itself won't change, Chinese citizens working or studying in specific fields won't have as easy of a time getting a visa under the new changes. Starting on June 11th, visas granted to Chinese citizens may now be limited by US consulate officers instead of being automatically issued at the maximum possible duration. A US official told the AP that Chinese graduate students can only get one-year visas if they're majoring in robotics, high-tech manufacturing, or aviation, which happen to be... |

Then he laid out exactly why he wants to buy it: to sell ads to the customers it already tracks.

| Even Arby’s has its own custom font to make fun of bespoke typefaces Posted: 30 May 2018 02:39 PM PDT  Step aside Apple (San Francisco), Samsung (SamsungOne), Google (Roboto and Product Sans), Microsoft (sort of with Segoe), Netflix (Netflix Sans), Airbnb (Cereal), Intel (Intel Clear), and every other big tech company with its own bespoke custom font: Arby's is getting in on the custom font game with its new font, "Saucy_AF™," as spotted by FastCo Design. Described as "the ink of the sandwich world," Arby's is positioning Saucy_AF™ as an alternative to those who lack the skills to write in sauce like the folks behind the very social media savvy Arby's Twitter account.
Ordinarily, this is the sort of thing that would... |
| Netflix shares a trailer for its first comic book Posted: 30 May 2018 02:21 PM PDT  Netflix released a trailer today for The Magic Order, the first comic spearheaded by the streaming platform — or as Netflix's US Twitter account called it, "baby's first comic book." The six-issue miniseries, which will be published by Image Comics, is written by Mark Millar (Kick-Ass, Wolverine: Old Man Logan, Civil War) and illustrated by Olivier Coipel (Thor, Avengers). The comic, about five families of magicians who secretly protect the world from evil forces, is slated to arrive in comic book shops on June 13th. It's also the first project that has emerged from the Netflix acquisition of Millar's comic book company Millarworld last August, another effort by Netflix to expand its development of original properties. Fans of physical... |
| Google Calendar now lets you add a note to changed events Posted: 30 May 2018 02:06 PM PDT  A new feature has been added to Google Calendar that allows you to leave a note when changing an event, as reported by TechCrunch. Starting today, if you change or delete an event, a dialog box appears where you can leave a note to say why the change occurred. If you choose to write something and send it to participants, the message will then appear not just on the event page within Google Calendar, but also in the email sent out alerting everyone to the updated event information. This feature is now available for G Suite users and should arrive for everyone within the next three days. Although it's a tiny addition, it's a useful one and an unobtrusive way to keep everyone on the same page when plans change. |
| Consumer Reports reverses course and now recommends the Tesla Model 3 Posted: 30 May 2018 01:53 PM PDT  Consumer Reports has reversed its position and now recommends the Tesla Model 3, after the car company shipped an over-the-air update this week that improved the vehicle's braking distance by nearly 20 feet. The outlet had previously said the Model 3's braking "was far worse than any contemporary car we've tested" in a review that was published on May 22nd. While the publication still takes issue with some aspects of the Model 3, like the car's ride comfort and its reliance on a touchscreen interface, CR said the better braking distance was enough to warrant the recommendation. "There are still other flaws with the vehicle," Jake Fisher, CR's director of automotive testing, told USA Today. "Those have not necessarily been addressed. It's... |
| Google reportedly planning Pixel 3 for October, and the XL model will have a notch Posted: 30 May 2018 01:47 PM PDT  The Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL will debut in October and retain Verizon as the exclusive US carrier, according to Bloomberg. That's the same sales strategy that was in place for the prior two generations of Google's smartphones; you'll again be able to purchase the new phones unlocked direct from Google. The XL-sized Pixel 3 will reportedly have a notch at the top of its display. That shouldn't come as a surprise when you consider all the changes Google has made to make Android P more friendly to display cutouts. It will feature a "nearly edge-to-edge screen" and a chin at the bottom. So, take a look at the OnePlus 6 or LG G7 and you're probably on the right track as to what the Pixel 3 XL will look like. Bloomberg claims that the Pixel 3... |
| Joe Hill’s Locke and Key series may have finally found a home at Netflix Posted: 30 May 2018 01:36 PM PDT  The fifth try might finally do the trick for Joe Hill's acclaimed comic series, Locke & Key. The Hollywood Reporter says that Netflix is close to a season order for a show, although the deal isn't quite finalized yet. If it happens, it'll be the end of a long road of failed adaptations for the story. There have been numerous attempts to adapt the series over the years. The first came in 2008 when Dimension Films picked up the rights, only to lose them to 20th Century Fox Television in 2010. The studio filmed a pilot in 2011 (and screened it at San Diego Comic-Con), but ultimately passed on the series. In 2014, Universal picked up the series for a movie produced by Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci, and Bobby Cohen, but that project also fell... |
