NASA opens new image and video library with copyright-free content

If you want to indulge your inner space nerd, NASA has given you the next best thing: a searchable image and video library with copyright-free content. These public images can be used for whatever purpose you want. And there are a lot of those—over 140,000 images, videos, and audio files, in fact. The site will let you embed content on your own site and the images come in multiple resolutions for you to choose what you want to download. Searching is easy on the site. You can opt to just look for images, videos, audio files, or a mix of the three.

Samsung patent for Gear smartwatch shows rotary dial wraparound display

A recently discovered patent from Samsung shows the South Korean tech company considering other new features for its smartwatch design. In this patent originally filed in September 2015, it shows Samsung trying out having a secondary display along the rotary dial of the watch. Much like the secondary screen on its Galaxy Edge devices, there seems to be app shortcuts there and basic information like date, time, and weather. And as the patent filing says, that display can be rotated 90 degrees and is even split between an upper and lower section for an undisclosed purpose. We’re not sure how intuitive this design would be though. And since it’s been filed a while back, perhaps Samsung has already thought of other ways to implement the display.

Which flagship device are you more excited for?

Land Rover vehicles are known for their luxury and power… even the Queen of England drives one! Ok, well… her chauffeurs drive one for her sometimes. They’ve also traditionally been gas guzzlers, but the diesel engine helps in this regard. Overall, the ride was smooth and we can see that this luxury SUV is a great family option.
