Sometimes people make mistakes. This means that sometimes, the people creating graphs make mistakes, too.
Local news station NBC 2 in Florida polled its viewers regarding their thoughts on the Zika virus.
Thirty-four percent of people said they were very concerned, but you wouldn’t know that if you only looked at the graph’s bar heights.
The graph was initially posted to Reddit for its inability to just do what graphs are supposed to do.
It’s unclear as to whether the graph was designed by someone who really wanted to make it appear like people aren’t worried about Zika or if the graph’s incorrect bar heights were just a mistake. …

This allows the battery on the Mate 9 to charge up to 48% after just 5-minutes plugged in.
On Sunday, a picture that claims to show the chassis for the Mate 9, opened up a box of possible specs for the device. Earlier this year, Chinese analyst Pan Jiutang said that the Mate 9 would be equipped with … – Source
Renowned KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo issued a new research note, hinting towards the launch of three new Apple iPad tablets next year. According to his connections, Apple is preparing a second-generation 12.9-inch iPad Pro 2, a 10.5-inch iPad Pro, and an entry-level 9.7-inch iPad Pro.

Well, the trial is finally underway, and the show could care less.
Episode six of The Night Of made for an uneven hour of television. On the one hand, it offered some thrilling moments as yet more details emerged about the murder. But, on the other hand, both the show and many characters have lost their way a bit.
My hopes for a Stone and Chandra super team were quickly and continually dashed throughout this episode. Neither of them did their jobs very well and they especially sucked at teamwork.
The most glaring example? Remember …

Less than a week after we reported that Play Store reviews no longer require a Google+ account, it seems that Google has begun testing another change in the same arena – Top Features, a new element that aims to make determining what functionality an app has easier. In addition, the reviewing process has been tweaked.
