Fly Or Die: Samsung Galaxy S4 Active

Screen Shot 2013-07-03 at 10.19.00 PMWe first caught wind of the Samsung Galaxy S4 Active back in May, before it had been announced. Ruggedized smartphones aren't always so tantalizing, but seeing that the Galaxy S4 Active is a variant of the Samsung flagship Galaxy S4, we thought it wise to bring the little guy in for an episode of Fly or Die.

White dwarf star throws light on possible variability of a constant of Nature

[unable to retrieve full-text content]Astronomers have studied a distant star where gravity is more than 30,000 times greater than on Earth to test the controversial theory that one of the constants of Nature is not a constant. The researchers used the Hubble Space Telescope to measure the strength of the electromagnetic force -- known as alpha -- on a white dwarf star. The results do not contradict the variable-constant theory.

How do you update Vine in a post-Instagram Video world? With channels, re-vining, and more!

How do you update Vine in a post-Instagram Video world? With channels, re-vining, and more!

Vine, the Twitter-owned social short-form video network has been updated with a slew of new features, including channels to better organize the videos, re-vining to share what you like with those who follow you, new tools including grid, focus, and ghost, and the ability to protect your account to protect your privacy.

Since Facebook-owned Instagram updated with video support last month, including filters and a longer, 15-second format, there's been a lot of curiosity concerning if and how Vine would respond. Obviously Twitter and Vine have had their roadmap in place for a long time already, but just as obviously they'll have to adapt to current market conditions, and that includes a market, now, with direct competition.

Re-vining is great. I've always missed the ability to re-share in Instagram, and bring the "retweet" over from Twitter is smart. I'm still not the biggest fan of their user interface or experience, however, so hopefully that's something they're still working on.

What is nice is that Vine is its own app, so worlds -- photos and video -- do not collide.
