Current Nintendo hardware uses the company’s own proprietary operating systems. But according to Nikkei, one of Japan’s largest newspapers, that will soon change. One insider tells the paper that the NX will supposedly be built around the Android OS.
On average, people spend more than 490 minutes of their day with some sort of media, according to a new report by ZenithOptimedia. Television remains dominant, accounting for three hours of daily consumption—an hour more than the internet, in second place. (The report measures media consumed in its traditional form—for example, broadcasts on television sets and newspapers in print. Watching videos on the web or reading a newspaper’s website counts as internet consumption.)
A stealth aircraft that can send electromagnetic pulses to knock out power is a reality.
That’s the news in this video posted on CNN. The U.S. Air Force has confirmed an “electromagnetic pulse weapon” called CHAMP that it’s developed with Boeing. CHAMP can target and knock out power with nothing more than a flyby.
“We hit every target we wanted to, we prosecuted every one,” Boeing’s project manager Keith Coleman said in the video. “We made science fiction, science fact.”
In addition to just looking cool, CHAMP’s matte black exterior appears to make it almost undetectable at night, enabling it to fly over areas and pinpoint buildings to knock out power — without damage or casualties.

Turns out, you don’t. Your digestive tract can accommodate a week’s worth of food — and sometimes more. This means there’s an entire range of regularity, and anywhere you fall on the spectrum is probably OK. There are downsides to being an infrequent pooper, though. Constipation can lead to backaches and stomach discomfort. It also can make you feel and look bloated. And, when you finally do poop, it will be quite malodorous; the longer waste stays in your bowels, the more time it will have to work up some stinky gas.
