S Health social update lets users team up to tone up

Samsung has issued a new update for its S Health app that comes bundled with its Galaxy smartphones today, bringing S Health up to version 5.0. The update is focused around making fitness much more social, by introducing a few tweaks to the user interface, fitness challenges, and new leader-boards.

Starting with the new UI, Samsung has tweaked the dashboard to focus on the three main tabs: Me, Together, and Discover. Other than that, the interface retains the same white minimalist design as version 4.0. The new social features are all housed in the new Together tab. In here, users will find options to keep track of private leader-boards filled with their friends, challenge friends to one-on-one fitness competitions across 44 different activities, and a button to share their progress directly to Facebook.

The Discover tab houses custom content produced by Samsung, which ranges from news and guides, to editorials about healthy living. In addition to the new social features, Samsung has also introduced its Ask Experts Q&A, that allows users to ask local healthcare professionals about their workout regime. Users will be able to contact experts via text, phone, or a simple search. Although it’s not quite clear yet if this feature will be free and where Samsung is going to find these regional experts from. Ask Experts is currently only available in South Korea, but will be heading out to other countries “in the near future”.

The app should update automatically on your Galaxy or other Android device. If you don’t have it installed, click the button below to grab it from the Play Store for free.

Legroom on Most Major Airlines, Compared in One GIF

Tizen-powered Samsung Z9 flagship spotted in shipping documents

Samsung has really been investing heftily in the advancement of Tizen. The still exotic OS is currently powering most of the company’s accessories, including the smartwatch lineup and has only made a slow and quite restrained appearance on mobile with the Galaxy Z1, Z3 and likely soon the Z2 as well.

This laid-back introduction tempo appears to be absolutely intentional, as the Korean giant is still probing the potential market, while constantly improving and growing Tizen in the background. Now, a newly discovered leak shows signs of some major upcoming developments in the…

Uber facing massive $6.3 million bill in back taxes in Taiwan

It’s tough times for Uber in Taiwan, as the company possibly faces a massive $6.3 million tax bill there.

The government has reportedly asked the U.S. ride-sharing firm to pay up in back taxes owed since it entered the market in 2013, reports Reuters.

SEE ALSO: Uber drivers are under criminal investigation in Finland

Uber had not previously been liable for the tax, but regulators have reworked the tax structure for foreign online businesses, and now say Uber is on the hook.

According to local reports, the finance ministry met with foreign companies like Uber, Apple and Agoda last Thursday to brief them on the new tax framework. Ministry officials said there is a 5 percent sales tax required of ecommerce businesses. …

Best rugged cases for Samsung Galaxy S7 edge

Priced at around $700 – $800 (depending on where you buy it from), the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge is certainly not a phone that you’d want to break anytime soon, or ever. The fact that the S7 edge is quite slippery definitely adds to the risk of dropping it, so buying a protective case is a good idea if you don’t want to worry about the handset’s well-being.

The best way to protect your Samsung Galaxy S7 edge is, obviously, with a rugged case (or armor case, as they’re often called). If you’re planning to buy such a case, do check out our list below, as it included what … – Source

'The Night Of' episode 7 keeps us guessing, though not in a good way

So much happened in the penultimate episode of The Night Of.

Everything is running along smoothly and all of the characters seem to have found a groove within their own particular lots. Chandra has taken the lead in the trial. Naz deepened his involvement in prison. Naz’s parents have committed to their sad fate. John Stone continues to build his own side case and plays nice with the cat. But very little of substance actually transpires in this episode.

One could argue that the show is building up to its ending, which will blossom naturally from this episode. And I can see that, easily. But that doesn’t help shake the feeling that I just watched the criminal justice system running on a hamster wheel. …

Commercial for New Zealand carrier shows what might happen to your unused data every month

If your carrier allows you to rollover your unused data, you know where it goes to after every month. It goes right back into your account for another 30 days (or longer, depending on your carrier). But suppose your carrier doesn’t allow you to rollover your unused data. What happens then to this paid for but never employed data? Well, it is just speculation, but New Zealand based wireless operator 2degrees Mobile has some ideas.

In a commercial for the mobile carrier, two men are sitting on a park bench, discussing what happens to their unused data. One guy suggests that it is sold … – Source

Designing for voice differs from traditional UX

Whether designing a software or hardware product, you focus on a few key principles: What you’re creating should be easy to use, elegant and intuitive. How does this differ, then, when you’re designing something that isn’t seen, but spoken? How do users’ brains work differently when talking rather than reading, pointing, clicking, swiping and typing? Read More

Winning Olympic moments get the GIFs they deserve

The 2016 Rio Olympics brought us a heap of memorable moments: there was the oily flag-bearer from Tonga, Pita Nikolas Taufatofua, the dancing weightlifter from Kiribati, David Katoatau, and the USA’s gold-winning record breaker, Simone Manuel.

While we would normally GIF these crowning achievements for you to watch in an endless loop, the International Olympic Committee won’t let us.
