Five science experiments were subjected to 12 minutes of #weightlessness during today’s flight of a Maxus suborbital rocket. The #Maxus9 mission lifted off from #Esrange Space Center in Kiruna, Sweden at 11:30 CEST. The rocket delivered the payload to the edge of space before detaching, leaving the payload to free fall back to Earth before a parachute-assisted touchdown.

Here comes Android 7.1.2 for my Verizon Google Pixel XL!

Solitary Man

The Critique:

My eyes are drawn immediately to the man and his echo reflected in the sand. He’s small against the soft expanse of nature but he owns the scene. Human eyes are always drawn first to another of our species. Lovely diagonal lines join triangles and other patterned shapes to create interest and movement. Bold horizontal lines repeat throughout the image in contrast to the choice of displaying this shot in portrait mode. The color palette of gentle tones of tan and blue and white work nicely with the simplicity of the photograph. Spatial relationships are well defined and the balance of elements works well. Time is well portrayed it its stillness.

What I had learned:

The beach always offers interest.

The Cavs defend the land tonight against the Hawks, who they've previously crushed with a barrage of three pointers in their last meeting.

Tonight could be very key with the Celtics losing their game against the Hawks yesterday (for resting purposes before the regular season ends.)

During this 4 game win streak the Cavs are currently on J.R Smith is averaging 15.8 ppg on 54% shooting, and 51% shooting from three. 🔥🔥🔥

LG G6 won’t head to China due to fierce competition

The early response to LG’s new flagship seems to have been positive. The company revealed that South Korean pre-orders had beat expectations and reviewers have praised its wide 18:9 screen and excellent camera. The device is available from today in the US, however, LG won’t be making it in available in the lucrative Chinese market at all.

According to Business Korea, LG’s choice not to release the LG G6 there was a “realistic and strategic decision considering the intense competition in the market and the company’s low market share.”

That was the only explanation Business Korea offered, though this eventuality has been anticipated. The Korea Times wrote last year about LG’s struggle to maintain a foothold in the Chinese market, suggesting that its failure to keep up with local trends and effectively localize its products had been its downfall. China has many homegrown Android manufacturers competing for dominance, including Huawei, OPPO, Vivo and Xiaomi, and their expertise in the market makes it difficult for outsiders to thrive there.

The Korea Times also indicated that the company had only a 0.02% smartphone market share in that region in 2016, citing an estimate from the research firm IHS.

The LG G6 may still enjoy significant success in the US, however, where pre-order offers have included free products like the Google Home, and a Smart TV.
