Guess what: These crowd-pleasing proclamations are contradictory. Anyone fearful of global warming should cheer higher gasoline prices, because much higher prices represent precisely the sort of powerful incentive needed to push consumers toward more fuel-efficient vehicles and to persuade the auto industry to produce them in large numbers. Bravo for higher prices! Perish the thought. In late May, gasoline prices hit a national average of $3.22 a gallon, which, after correcting for inflation, is roughly as high as in early 1981, the recent peak....

Before going forward, it should be mentioned that this article contains spoilers, not just for Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time, but for Samurai Jack the TV show as well. It has been discovered that there is a secret ending in Battle Through Time that fleshes out the ending in more detail, and in the traditional Samurai Jack art style. Unlocking it may be a bit tricky, or at least a little tedious, but any fan of the show will agree it is well worth it in the end....

The San Antonio Current reported that the city’s council is due to meet on Thursday to approve the payout of $205,000 to a 40-year-old woman following allegations made in a federal suit. Now-retired Detective Mara Wilson is accused of pulling down the victim’s shorts before touching her vagina in the middle of a public street. It is alleged Mara removed the victim’s tampon before holding it up in the air....

Atlanta United signs U.S. youth international However, Thompson, 21, who was the team’s first homegrown player signing in 2014, and Pelosi, 22, who missed all of 2016 with injury, are reportedly in negotiations to return to the team under new contracts. Goodson was expected to be a key member of the Earthquakes back line last season, but missed most of the campaign with a back injury. The 34-year-old center back and former U....

Liverpool travel to Stamford Bridge aiming to claim the victory that will guarantee them a place in the Champions League next season and Klopp’s side are almost at full strength. Their revered first-choice attacking trio of Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane all start, as they did in Wednesday’s 4-2 Champions League defeat at Roma, despite the latter suffering a slight knock. Having scored 43 times in all competitions, Salah will set a new record for goals in a single 38-game Premier League if he scores one more in the top flight to reach 32....

The Liverpool forward has been in stunning form this season, netting 31 times across all competitions. He has exceeded all expectations at Anfield, with a £36.9 million transfer fee made to look quite the bargain. Salah has been able to maintain his high standards throughout a first campaign back in England since taking in a forgettable stint at Chelsea. Plaudits have rained down on the Egypt international, with it even suggested that his left football is comparable to that of Barcelona talisman Lionel Messi....

The Egypt international has enjoyed a sensational first campaign at Anfield after signing for a reported £37million fee from Roma, scoring 37 goals across all competitions for Jurgen Klopp’s side. Salah’s form has seen the 25-year-old earn plenty of plaudits, including strong links to Madrid and Barcelona, but Adam is not convinced there would be a starting spot for him at the some of Europe’s top clubs. “Where’s he going to go?...

The mineral was key to early habitability as its presence in seawater resulted in warmer temperatures when the sun was less bright. The finding is based on a climate model where different amounts were dissolved. The finding could help alien hunters ‘rule in’ planets in their quest for extra-terrestrials. Lead author Stephanie Olson, a professor at Purdue University in Indiana, studies evolution to guide the search for life elsewhere....

The Honorary Uce’s current theme isn’t as beloved as his previous one, but if he had his way, he’d be coming out to a song by Depeche Mode instead. Sami Zayn recently sat down with Alistair McGeorge of METRO to discuss a wide variety of subjects. When asked about his current entrance theme, Zayn revealed that he helped the music team work on it, but it didn’t come out how he envisioned it, and he would prefer to come out to Depeche Mode’s ‘Just Can’t Get Enough’ if WWE could get the rights to it....

Guevara used the latest slang term on the internet “Ok Boomer” to deride Rhodes, in reference to his old age. Rhodes responded and said, “I’m a #GenX you idiot child! And you will need more than medication when I’m done with you. #SpanishChild #NotAGod.” For those unaware of what “Ok Boomer” means, Mark C. Perna has an elaborate definition. It is “a verbal eye-roll that expresses derision, frustration and a subversive compliance....

Nasri missed this weekend’s 3-2 victory over Deportivo La Coruna due to a hamstring problem. Since moving to LaLiga on loan from Manchester City the 29-year-old has enjoyed something of a revival, scoring three goals in 11 appearances in all competitions. However, with Sevilla only needing a point to guarantee a knockout place, Nasri may not be needed even if he is able to prove his fitness to Sampaoli....

However, most expected that the Oculus Rift was only the beginning for VR, and soon we would see new copy cat and spin-off devices entering the market. For example, word broke in May that Samsung might be working with Oculus on a VR headset that uses people’s phones as a screen. While this Samsung/Oculus collaboration was never going to rival the Rift, it did sound like this would be gamers’ first genuine taste of VR technology....

That’s not just a first for Samsung, but a first for any phone, so it’s surprising to see the breakthrough relegated to the A series. But it comes at a (literal) cost – so are extra lenses enough to make up for a price that’s higher than some rivals’ flagships? Samsung Galaxy A9 price and release date The Galaxy A9 isn’t out yet, and in fact you’ve got a little while to wait....

The Note 20 Ultra is a do-everything beast of a phone with a sky-high price tag that jars slightly with consumer priority during the pandemic. The regular Note 20 feels like a straight misstep, with a plastic back, 60Hz display and lower camera specs but still coming in at a cool £949, if you want 5G. But with Samsung’s S21 Ultra now coming with S-Pen support, Note fans’ worst fear has come true and there will not be a new model this year....

Speculations regarding these enhanced features are making their rounds for the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and the Galaxy S5 alike. Likely to be released at the end of the third quarter of 2013, the security features will beef up the levels of security in phablets, tablets and phones. This will make the in-app authentication and device lock screen features reach new dimensions of functionality and add further value to the flagship products from Samsung....

Samsung’s Galaxy S4 smartphone will feature eye tracking technology for automatic scrolling. An anonymous Samsung employee has told The New York Times that the Galaxy S4 will offer ‘Eye Scrolling’. A user’s eyes will be tracked so the smartphone knows when to scroll up or down saving the need to touch the screen. “For example, when users read articles and their eyes reach the bottom of the page, the software will automatically scroll down to reveal the next paragraphs of text....

Truth or myth? Some recent images indicated Oukitel working on a smartphone battery that needs to be charged once in a week. Though there is no official confirmation from the manufacturers, the image represents the look of Samsung Galaxy S6 Active and is backed with 10,000 mAh battery. While Oukitel is in the news for launching a phone with a bigger and stronger battery, the other Chinese mobile phone manufacturing companies Gionee as well as ZTE are also reported to experiment on the same....

Let’s compare the two and find out. Price and Value for Money While we do love Samsung flagships, they are quite pricey and admittedly come with a handful of overrated features you don’t need in your phone. Pixel phones focus instead on the essentials and are much more affordable, offering better value for money. For instance, the Galaxy S22 launched at $799 while the Pixel 7 starts at $599....

The Z Flip 5G brings 5G support obviously, but also a new processor and two new colour options that could tempt plenty of people to make the leap to the foldable phone. The device makes a lot more sense than the somewhat-flawed Galaxy Fold as a day-to-day smartphone and we’re sure it will tempt many more people into trying out a folding phone. When is the Galaxy Z Flip 5G coming out?...
