Google wants to replace the humble car key and make it easier to pair all of your gadgets together. The company announced expanded support for Fast Pair during its Google I/O keynote today. Fast Pair is Googles way to speed up the process of pairing other Bluetooth devices with your phone. Originally, Fast Pair was used primarily as a one-tap solution to connect your mobile device with Bluetooth headphones, including the 2020 Pixel Buds, Harman Kardons Fly wireless earbuds, and more. Google said Fair Pair has already been used more than 36 million times since launch. Now, Google says that in the coming months its planning to expand support for Fast Pair to even more devices, including upcoming Beats headphones and even cars from both Ford and BMW. And building off the expansion of Fast Pair to cars, Google also says that its working with several car makers to enable digital car keys in Android 12, using either UWB ultra-wideband tech or NFC, depending on the model. Google says BMW will be one of the first manufactu

The number of security clearances issued by the U.S. Department of Defense has plummeted in the past two years. The big question: Is it because of the Snowden leaks or just because U.S. military spending is down Yeah, you read that right. Military spending is down.

Nobody is saying precisely why security clearances are down yet, and it unlikely we ;ll ever get a firm answer. This is, after all, about who gets to know government secrets. But it hard not to conclude that at least some of the decline is attributed to a clampdown on who has access to classified information after Edward Snowden spilled secrets of vast government surveillance in the summer of 2013. Snowden was an employee of private defense contractor Booz Allen when he fled to Hong Kong, then Moscow. As the Federation of American Scientists reports, this is probably the first major drop in clearances since the September 11th attacks. Why probably Interestingly, the DoD has only been

Tithonus was a prince of Troy. He slept with his window open, so the earliest rays of light woke him from sleep. Aurora, the goddess of the dawn, looked in on him every morning, and was so taken with his beauty and his voice that she fell in love. She took him to Zeus, the king of the gods, and begged tearfully for Tithonus to join the ranks of the immortals. Zeus granted her request. Young love triumphed. Then the irony set in. What should have been a source of joy for them both turned into a perpetual agony. Tithonus was given eternal life, but not eternal youth. He aged and aged, until he became wizened and frail, hoping every moment for death. No one could commute Zeus sentence, but, in some legends, Tithonus got turned into a cicada, which still sings with his voice. In some versions of the legend, Tithonus turns into a cicada naturally, and the rasp of the cicadas is him still begging for death. What fun.

During the Apollo missions, NASA smartly set aside some lunar materials knowing future scientists would likely be better equipped to analyze them. Now, nearly 50 years later, the space agency is giving a select group of researchers the extraordinary opportunity to study these unopened and untarnished samples. Nine proposals to study unopened Apollo samples were selected by NASA under its Apollo Next Generation Sample Analysis program, or ANGSA, according to a NASA Goddard press release. The lunar materials were collected during Apollo 15 the fourth lunar mission, which began on July 26, 1971 and Apollo 17 the sixth and final lunar mission, which commenced on December 7, 1972 . Some of the returned samples were never opened to prevent possible contamination, while other lunar materials, after some initial processing, were re-sealed and placed in cold storage. The point of all this was to ensure the integrity of lunar materials for later study, allowing future scientists鈥攅quipped with new technologies and new

Seriously, Hollywood keeps making weird-ass fairytale movies. And they really ought to take a note from this insane new Taylor Swift video for Out of the Woods, which does for fairytales what her Bad Blood vid did for action movies.

By coincidence, we were just randomly watching the Bad Blood video earlier today and talking about how Joseph Kahn who also directed Out of the Woods is an underrated director and we liked his unhinged Detention for what it was.
