If you or a family member were struck by an asteroid, you may be entitled to compensation. Call the law offices of Jones, Anderson, and Leibovitz to see if you qualify. It’s hard to imagine a world so litigious that an extinction-level event could generate a lengthy and expensive court battle. Yet here we are. And once you get over the initial shock of the concept, it actually makes far more sense than I want to give it credit for. The issue, according to Cosmos: One problem is what would happen if one country, worried about protecting its own citizens,…

High-end audio is catching up to the times. Where once audiophiles might scoff at wireless speakers, now industry stalwarts like Bowers and Wilkins, KEF, and others are exploring the convenience of streaming music and all-in-one systems. But one of the first of these was Naim’s Mu-so, a streaming speaker that showed the world such a device could be convenient and worthy of critical listening. Now there’s the Mu-So 2, turning everything up a notch. That includes the price, jumping from $1000 to $1,600, but Naim obviously thinks the revamped hardware is worth it. I had a chance to go hands-on, and…

Building engagement with your audience can be really hard in today’s tech landscape – while many more channels are available to share your brand story, it’s harder to cut through the noise. So how can marketers establish themselves? Nadya Khoja, Chief Growth Officer at Venngage, has worked hard to figure it out. She’s built a strong online audience for Venngage, but also for herself. Ahead of her TNW Conference discussion, I asked her about her experiences, lessons learned, and how she sees the future of tech influencing tomorrow’s marketing techniques. What was the driving force behind starting your own web-series,…

See you earlier: Physicists sent a (simulated) particle back in time

An international team of physicists looking for loopholes in the laws of physics recently simulated a brute-force method for reversing the age of a particle by 1/1,000,000th of a second. In other words: time travel is possible (in a simulation). The experiment involved the use of IBM’s cloud-accessible 5-qubit quantum computer and a time-travel algorithm. To be clear: the team didn’t actually send a subatomic particle back in time. It simulated the progression and reversal (like aging and, um, de-aging) of a wave. The researchers determined that it’s highly unlikely such a thing could occur in nature, but manipulating quantum states in…
