| Posted: 02 May 2020 04:00 PM PDT  Echidna Walkabout and Koala Clancy Foundation Koalas lick tree trunks to quench their thirst when it rains, scientists just learned. It upends what biologists long thought about koalas: that they get almost all the water they need from the eucalyptus leaves they eat. But koalas probably lap up water like many animals — except they do so from trees, according to the findings published today in the journal Ethology. With fires, heat waves, and droughts putting more and more stress on the critters, scientists have been paying close attention to how koalas are keeping hydrated. "This significantly alters our understanding of how koalas gain water in the wild. It is very exciting," lead author of the Ethology paper and University of Sydney researcher Valentina Mella said in a statement. ... |
| McConnell, Pelosi decline Trump administration offer of rapid coronavirus tests for Congress Posted: 02 May 2020 02:46 PM PDT  US Capitol In a joint statement on Saturday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) declined President Trump's offer to provide rapid coronavirus tests for members of Congress. "Congress is grateful for the Administration's generous offer to deploy rapid COVID-19 testing capabilities to Capitol Hill, but we respectfully decline the offer at this time," the statement reads. "Our country's testing capacities are continuing to scale up nationwide and Congress wants to keep directing resources to the front-line facilities where they can do the most good the most quickly." Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar tweeted late Friday that 1,000 tests and three rapid-results testing machines were... |
| Sonos may finally be releasing a new Playbar Posted: 02 May 2020 10:09 AM PDT  Dave Zatz/Zatz Not Funny The Sonos Playbar may finally, at long last, be getting an upgrade, according to an image discovered by Dave Zatz over at Zatz Not Funny. The renders don't show a power outlet or HDMI ports, which Zatz speculates may mean ports and any buttons are either recessed within the ledge or elsewhere along the sound bar (although it may also mean the renders are just not fully illustrated). Zatz's images show both black and white versions. Sonos debuted the Playbar in 2013, and there hasn't been an update since. According to 9to5 Mac, the new Playbar will have support for Dolby Atmos, and Zatz says Apple AirPlay 2 support is likely as well. Sonos may also be planning new versions of its Play:5 wireless speaker and Sub subwoofer, 9to5 Mac... |
| Disney to donate $1 million from sales of its character-themed face masks to charity Posted: 02 May 2020 08:56 AM PDT  Disney Disney is selling non-medical face masks in the US featuring characters from across its multiverse, including Pixar, Marvel, and Star Wars, the company announced. Disney will donate one million masks to to underserved communities via humanitarian aid organization MedShare, and all profits from the mask sales in the US through September 30th, up to $1 million, also will go to MedShare. The masks, which include Anna and Elsa from Frozen; Woody and Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story; The Avengers; R2D2 and Baby Yoda (who Disney refers to as "the Child" in its release), are designed for the CDC's recommendation that people wear cloth face coverings when out in public to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. Disney said. Cloth masks are not... |
| Kickstarter union reaches agreement with management for laid-off workers Posted: 02 May 2020 06:38 AM PDT  The union for Kickstarter employees reached an agreement with management on Friday which provides protections for laid-off workers, the union said in a press release. The crowdfunding company announced in an internal memo April 20th it would likely seek layoffs, along with other cost-cutting measures. CEO Aziz Hasan wrote in the memo that Kickstarter had seen a 35 percent drop in new crowdfunding projects on the site in the past several weeks, with "no clear sign of rebound." Kickstarter United, the union that represents 60 percent of the company's 140 employees, said the agreement includes four months of severance pay for all laid-off employees, a release from any non-compete agreements for anyone who accepts severance, and recall... |
| 7 new trailers you should watch this week Posted: 02 May 2020 06:00 AM PDT  Photo: HBO I finally caught up on the Amazon series Undone, which I've been wanting to watch since getting a glimpse of its wonderful rotoscoped style. I think I complained in one of these columns recently that, upon rewatching A Scanner Darkly, I felt like its animation was underused, barely scratching the surface of what such a dark, trippy film could do with that dreamy style. Undone gets it right. The series does a wonderful job of using its dreamy look to tell a story where characters are constantly going in and out of memories, leaving moments behind only to return to them later, mid-conversation. It's something that could easily be overdone, but the story keeps it all grounded, even as the visuals help to express just how disorienting and... |
