HTC One M10 rumored to arrive with top-tier specs

There are a couple of companies that need to put on a strong showing with their mobiles this year, and HTC is one of them. The HTC One M10 is set to be the company’s best flagship yet, and new details have come to light regarding its specifications and features.
It’s safe to say that HTC has a lot riding on the HTC One M10 release, and the device known as the “Perfume” has been leaking since the middle of last year. We’ve seen some wild rumors surround the handset, but as we get closer to its release, things are becoming a bit more clear. One of the more credible reports has rolled in from VentureBeat, where they have learned a few new details for the HTC One M10 release.
According to someone that went hands-on with the prototype, the HTC One M10 is set to sport a 5.1-inch QHD AMOLED display and a fingerprint scanner in the home button. As you might expect, it will get its power from a Snapdragon 820 and 4GB of RAM while the storage capacity clocks in at 32GB.
In the camera department, you’re looking at a 12-UltraPixel rear camera with laser-assisted autofocus but nothing was mentioned in regards to the selfie snapper. One thing you won’t see on the HTC One M10 are BoomSound speakers as their source said the speakers weren’t present on the prototype.
If the HTC One M10 arrives with the features listed above, it will put it on par with every other flagship we’ll see this year. Unfortunately, many of the company’s fan would like to see a bit of a redesign as well, and there’s been no new information in that area. As it stands, we have a feeling it will come down to LG and HTC this year with the Galaxy S7 playing it safe, so it will be interesting to see which company pull out all the stops with their new flagship.

The Real 'X-Files'? CIA Reveals Strange UFO Stories

A UFO, or flying saucer, above a dark city and under a full moon.


The real-life stories of UFOs would be enough for the fictional "X-Files" FBI agents Mulder and Scully to spend a lifetime investigating.
With a nod to the new "X-Files" reboot (which airs on Fox on Mondays at 8 p.m. ET), the Central Intelligence Agency has released a trove of once classified documents on several real-life unidentified flying objects.
Not surprisingly, many of these UFO sightings emerged in the early 1950s. The space race was on, the Cold War fears had reached a fever pitch, and science-fiction movies like "The Flying Saucer" (1950) catapulted schlocky depictions of aliens and their flying machines into the popular consciousness. In fact, by 1953, UFO mania had reached such heights that the CIA marshaled a team of scientific consultants to investigate all of the reports and review the "Unidentified Flying Object Problem," according to a 1953 memorandum by the agency.

Did the Vikings use crystal ‘sunstones’ to find their way to America?

Ancient records tell us that the intrepid Viking seafarers who discovered Iceland, Greenland and eventually North America navigated using landmarks, birds and whales, and little else. There’s little doubt that Viking sailors would also have used the positions of stars at night and the sun during the daytime, and archaeologists have discovered what appears to be a kind of Viking navigational sundial. But without magnetic compasses, like all ancient sailors they would have struggled to find their way once the clouds came over.
However, there are also several reports in Nordic sagas and other sources of a sólarsteinn “sunstone”. The literature doesn’t say what this was used for but it has sparked decades of research examining if this might be a reference to a more intriguing form of navigational tool.
