Just how fast is fast? Record holder Xiao Lin Cen, who can skip rope 1096 times…Posted by Hugo Barra on Wednesday, February 17, 2016

Contrary to what one would expect, the Mi 5 doesn’t make even a single appearance in the video, which is aimed at trumpeting the device’s speed. Instead, the teaser features record holder Xiao Lin Cen, who can skip rope 1096 times in 3 minutes. “Forget everything you know about speed, #Mi5 will show you the meaning of fast in just 7 days now,” Barra says in the post accompanying the teaser.

As you might already know, the handset – which is powered by SD820 and has already been the subject of a bucket load of rumors and leaks until now – is set to be officially unveiled on February…

This absurd NHL dive belongs in the World Cup

Conventional wisdom tells us hockey players are tough and stoic. But, the stereotypes say, soccer players are drama majors who dive to the turf with gusto at the slightest touch

You might think Joseph Blandisi is playing the wrong sport after seeing the truly epic dive he took during a New Jersey Devils game Tuesday night

Blandisi was slashed by Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Andrew MacDonald. He was legitimately fouled on the play — but this delayed reaction seems JUST A LITTLE OVER THE TOP, no?

The funniest part isn’t even the flop. Had MacDonald simply been called for slashing — and Blandisi not been penalized for embellishment, as he was after the big dive — the Devils would have had a power play. Instead, both players were sent to the box and the teams briefly played four-on-four. …

Sony UK: Xperia Z5 series, Z4 Tablet, and Z3+ to get Marshmallow update starting March 7

Sony has announced that the Android 6.0 update will start hitting Xperia Z4 Tablet and Xperia Z3+ units as well as Xperia Z5 series devices in the United Kingdom beginning March 7. The announcement was made by the UK subsidiary of the Japanese company on Twitter.

@FalseNugget it’s set to roll out from March 7th for Xperia Z5 series, Z4 Tablet and Z3+ – we will share confirmed timings when its ready— Sony Xperia GB (@sonyxperiagb) February 15, 2016

What’s worth mentioning here is that the tweet makes it clear that the date is not set in stone at this point in time. Also, given the fact that such updates from Sony have been off the mark in the past, at best we can say that the roll-out is ‘likely’ to begin at the said date.

For those who aren’t already aware, the Android 6.0 Marshmallow update has already started rolling out to Sony Xperia Z5 (and possibly its Compact and Premium variants, too) in Turkey.

Add your first card to Samsung Pay, and get a free Samsung Level U wireless headset

Thanks to the fact that Samsung Pay uses MST (magnetic secure transmission) in addition to NFC, Sammy’s mobile payment service works in roughly 90% of retail locations around the world. Stores that support NFC will allow Samsung Pay users to hover their phones near the
POS terminal to ring up a transaction, while other locations will allow the phone to be “swiped” against the side of the terminal as though you were swiping your credit card.

This explains the commercials for the service that show shopkeepers surprised to see Samsung Pay ringing up a transaction; that includes the new … – Source
