Christmas dinner is on its way to the International Space Station
Astronauts who are lucky enough to score a gig aboard the International Space Station make a lot of sacrifices in the name of science. They’re away from their families and friends for months on end, don’t have access to many of the basic creature comforts we all enjoy, and live on a somewhat limited selection of food… unless, of course, it’s Christmas.
The SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket that headed skyward this week is carrying a whole bunch of important cargo. It weighs in at 5,600 pounds, and while much of the shipment is fairly typical of a resupply mission, there’s also a very special holiday dinner packed away that some of the crew members will get to enjoy when Christmas rolls around.

Apple now sells a 18W USB-C charger that brings fast-charging to iPhone XS and iPhone XR
The iPhone XS, XS Max, and XR all support fast wireless charging, just like their predecessors. But when you buy one of Apple’s 2018 iPhones, you only get a 5W charger in the box, which can’t be used to charge the phones at the fastest possible speed. You need to buy a separate charger for that, and Apple has finally started selling the USB-C 18W charger that ships with new iPads this year.

This Galaxy S10 leak is totally fake, but it probably shows us Samsung’s real design
It might not fold in half like the upcoming “Galaxy F” Samsung teases on stage during its SDC 2018 keynote last month, but there’s really no question whatsoever that the Galaxy S10 is shaping up to be Samsung’s most exciting smartphone of 2019. In fact, there’s a very good chance that the Galaxy S10 ends up being the most exciting smartphone released next year by any smartphone maker. Whereas Samsung’s 2018 flagship smartphone lineup has been boring and uninspired, the Galaxy S10 will feature a completely overhauled design and plenty of exciting new tech. The company’s mobile division has been dragging down earnings performance and the Galaxy S9 is shaping up to be Samsung’s worst-selling Galaxy S phone since 2012. Next year, Samsung is looking to right the ship and then some.
With less than three months to go until Samsung is expected to unveil its new Galaxy S10 lineup, the leaks have really started to flow lately. It seems like we know practically everything there is to know about the flagship phone lineup at this point, and we’ve even seen a few photos of alleged Galaxy S10 prototypes leak. The subject of this post is not one of those leaked photos. In fact, it’s a blatant fake. So why are we covering it? It might be fake, but based on everything we know right now, it likely shows us exactly what Samsung’s Galaxy S10 will actually look like when it debuts early next year.

OnePlus working to keep the price of its first 5G phone under $1,000
We’ve known for a while that OnePlus plans to be one of the first smartphone makers in the world to launch a 5G phone this year. That device won’t be the OnePlus 7, reports said last year, but a third handset that should be launched at some point in the first half of 2019. OnePlus just reconfirmed its commitment to launch a 5G phone next year, but that phone will be pricier than what you expect from OnePlus flagship handsets. The company’s CEO went on record to say that he’s working on keeping the price under $1,000.

Goodbye to Allo: Google will reportedly shutter its short-lived messaging app
In a turn of events pretty much everyone outside of Google saw coming, the search giant is apparently poised to wind down its Google Allo messaging app, with an announcement coming “soon.” That’s according to a new report from 9to5Google, which quotes a “reliable source familiar with the plan” though there are few details other than that at this point.
And about that word: “plan” — it seemed that was always something lacking relative to Google’s fractured and disparate messaging-related properties, such that it’s never had one single strong product that could credibly rival something like iMessage. Indeed, Google vice president Anil Sabharwal acknowledged as much about eight months ago in an interview, saying that the company would be putting a pause on additional investment into Allo. He admitted then that “The product as a whole has not achieved the level of traction that we’d hoped for,” though Google would keep supporting the app.

This all-electric motorcycle can hit 60 mph in just 2.1 seconds
Electric cars are only just starting to become a regular sighting on city streets, but one historic motorcycle company is already dreaming of what the electric revolution might mean for two-wheeled transportation.
Curtiss Motorcycles has created a bike that is both an homage to the company’s heritage as well as a glimpse into its future. It’s called the Hera, and it’s absolutely bonkers. It’s inspired by a V8-equipped gas-burning monster that company founder Glenn Curtiss built way back in the early 1900s. This time, however, gas cylinders are replaced with battery power, and the bike is an absolute speed demon.
