1. Facebook satellite to beam internet to remote regions in Africa
“To connect people living in remote regions, traditional connectivity infrastructure is often difficult and inefficient, so we need to invent new technologies.”
- Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg took to his own timeline on Monday to announce that the company would be providing web access from space
- A new satellite called Amos-6 will make the web accessible from big chunks of sub-Saharan Africa
- Satellite services such as Zuckerberg’s could provide a much-needed stopgap solution for large parts of the continent where those slowly approaching fiber-optic cables are a long way off
- The iPhone 6S is the best smartphone Apple has ever produced, but it’s marred by poor battery life that will not see you through a day
- Battery life is the iPhone 6S’s biggest problem. During the week the phone failed to make it past 11pm after leaving the charger at 7.30am in the morning.
- Apple has chosen weight and thickness over battery life
- Short battery life is deeply frustrating
