Samsung just launched a phone with a triple-lens camera that rotates for selfies
While you wait for the Galaxy Note 10 to come out, you might want to check out Samsung’s latest phone. On Monday, the South Korean giant launched a device that features three cameras on the back, and three on the front, but not at the same time. The triple-lens camera on the Galaxy A80 faces backward for standard photos. But when you need selfies, the camera module slides up and rotates to the front. It’s an incredibly odd solution.

Scientists still have no idea what that mysterious ‘alien probe’ actually was
The bizarre, twisted saga of Oumuamua — the strange object that whizzed through our solar system so fast it wasn’t even spotted until it was already leaving — just got another chapter. A new paper published in Nature Astronomy declares that the object, which puzzled researchers for months, was definitely (probably) not an alien spacecraft. Phew.
Oumuamua was originally discovered back in October of 2017. It sped through our system and headed back out to space, becoming the first known interstellar visitor to be observed by humans. It was an exciting time for astronomers, even if nobody really knew what the heck it was.

How would you feel if you got a random push notification one morning that just read “Hahahahaha”?
For a number of OnePlus 7 Pro users on Monday, that wasn’t a hypothetical question. Some of them got spammed with what OnePlus acknowledged was the result of a botched internal test that led to some global users reporting some bizarre push notifications on their devices.

Netflix is finally going to stop spending so much money on original projects
For the past several years, Netflix has seemingly been opening its checkbook at every available opportunity for every creator with an idea. The era of big spending may finally be coming to an end, though, as The Information reports that Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos recently told a substantial group of mid- and high-level film and TV executives at the company that spending needs to be more cost-effective going forward.
Former employees say that Netflix would often let the buzz and critical acclaim a project delivering justify the cost, but in the future, if the company is going to spend a lot of money on an original movie or series, it needs to do so with the expectation that the big-budget project in question will drive actual viewership.

NASA accidentally sold original Moon landing tapes to an intern, and now they’re up for auction
The 50th anniversary of NASA’s Apollo 11 Moon landing is right around the corner, and it’s a pretty big deal. As you might expect, NASA is very much looking forward to replaying the original footage of Armstrong’s first lunar stroll for anyone who wants to watch it, but wouldn’t ya know it? Those original tapes are nowhere to be found in NASA’s archives.
That’s because in the mid-1970s NASA sold those tapes to an intern who bought them without even realizing what they were. The tapes were mixed in with over 1,000 reels which were sold for $217.77 at a government auction. Later this month they could fetch close to $1 million.

Tim Cook says Apple is working on products that ‘will blow you away’
Given how integral a role Jony Ive played in transforming Apple into the most successful company on the planet, most everyone naturally assumed that the famed designer would spend the entirety of his career at Apple. Consequently, the news that Ive would be leaving Apple to start a new design firm caught everyone off guard and, as you would expect, prompted a seemingly endless amount of speculation and reports surrounding his departure.
One of the more fascinating takes came from a Wall Street Journal article which articulated a myriad of reasons behind Ive’s departure. In one excerpt, the report claimed that Ive was none too pleased with some of the strategic decisions made with respect to the Apple Watch insofar that Ive wanted the device to be positioned as a fashion accessory as opposed to a fitness-oriented device. Even more intriguing is the allegation that Ive was “dispirited” by Tim Cook showing “little interest in the product development process.”

Netflix gives us an early look at what may be the next ‘Game of Thrones’
With Game of Thrones dead and buried, it’s time to find a new epic adventure to devour, and luckily for fans of such adventures, we’ve got both Netflix and Amazon working on shows that would compete directly against HBO’s top series. Amazon is currently in the middle of making its Lord of the Rings show.
Netflix, meanwhile, is exploring an equally fascinating universe from The Witcher books of Andrzej Sapkowski. And while news hit that Amazon’s Middle-earth series will start shooting in New Zealand, Netflix gave the world a first look at The Witcher.

Marvel sets the record straight on Captain America’s time traveling in ‘Avengers: Endgame’
If there’s one thing Avengers: Endgame fans couldn’t really agree on about the ending, it was Captain America’s time travel escapade. To what version of the past did Steve Rogers go? Did he create an alternate timeline by staying in the past, or did he live quietly in this one, witnessing the future from the sidelines? And to that end, where did he get the new shield? How did he travel back to the future, and why did he appear on that bench?
These are just some of the questions that come to mind concerning the movie’s divisive ending. What’s interesting is that not even the writers and the directors, who worked together on four MCU films, including the last two Captain America and Avengers installments, could agree on what happened. However, the Russos’ explanation is the one that makes the most sense, and they’re sticking to it.
