Flat-earthers, beware
I can’t find more than five people who dislike Neil deGrasse Tyson, but somehow, in the past 24 hours, that number has increased. The sassy astrophysicist has managed to tick off flat-earthers by giving a thumbs down to their beliefs in the latest instalment of his YouTube show, StarTalk , owing the falseness and ridicule of it all to a bad education system, coupled with the very-well-used freedom of speech.
In typical Tyson fashion, he introduces several pieces of evidence throughout history, be it from the time of the ancient Greeks or from far more recent research done by our fellows, adding, “That’s okay, as long as you don’t run NASA.”
Twitter, Tyson’s watering hole, was flooded with various opinions, most sarcastic. RealityCheck46 says, “I’m appalled that in the 21st century anyone would actually believe the earth is flat. Oh right, one of those alternative facts. #nonsense,” while user GenXMedia adds, “Well done. Too bad, the people who need this the most probably won’t see it or believe it.” I’m asking anyone out there with a friend or colleague who’s a flat-earther — show this to them, flood their messengers, spam their email inboxes, reverberate the facts in a verbal fashion until they don’t want to be friends with you any more... excessive?
Apple users, get updated
When our iPhone or iPad cables do that annoying bit where they start to fall apart, we venture out into the world to the nearest uncle’s mobile accessory shop and ask for the longest cable that will help us recharge while staying comfortably nestled in bed.
But now, Apple has released a new ‘Made for iPhone, iPad, iPod’ logo, where users can now know which products made by third parties are 100% compatible with their standards and specs...
But isn’t that kind of easy for cheapskate third parties to copy? Also, who out there still uses an iPod?
