Reach inbox zero in Gmail with these 5 tricks

 

When it comes to email, it's usually a case of can't live with it, can't live without it. These messages make up an essential part of modern-day communications, but sorting through them takes up an inordinate amount of time, time that could be spent doing something more productive.

Fortunately, if Gmail is your email service of choice, it comes with a number of features for blasting through your incoming messages quickly. On top of that, there are plenty of helpful add-ons for getting down to an empty inbox as efficiently as possible.
The key is offloading as much work as possible to automatic filters and other tools that will do some of the organizing for you, leaving you to deal with what's really important. Here are five tricks for making inbox zero a reality.

Scientists are trying to make the perfect battery

 
“The word ‘bomb’ is not out of place here,” says David Pogue, tech columnist for Yahoo Finance and the host of NOVA’s documentary “The Search for the Super Battery.”
As he explains it, lithium-ion batteries are positive and negative electrodes, separated by an electrolyte liquid that happens to be highly flammable. “Lithium-ion is not the best storage device,” Pogue says. “They are explosive, they are expensive … they have a limited amount of hours they can power your phone, and they can only be recharged, let's say, 400 times. So the world really needs something better than this 1991 technology.”
Luckily, he recently scoured research labs all over the country with his documentary team, in search of the “super battery.”

The AImotive office is in a small converted house at the end of a quiet residential street in sunny Mountain View, spitting distance from Google’s headquarters. Outside is a branded Toyota Prius covered in cameras, one of three autonomous cars the Hungarian company is testing in the sleepy neighbourhood. It’s a popular testing ground: one of Google’s driverless cars, now operating under spin-out company Waymo, zips past the office each lunchtime.

iPad Pro 2: Expected Features And Availability

  US Apple’s flagship tablet, the iPad Pro, is expected to get a refresh in 2017 — the company is expected to launch the iPad Pro 2 ahead of its World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC) in San Jose in June. This will be the first do-over for the tablet since 2015.
While Apple has been quite secretive about the features of the upcoming tablet, several rumors have given us some idea of what the tablet might look like.
Here are seven expected features of the upcoming tablet:

Researcher finds bug that allowed free Uber rides

Uber has patched a bug in its code that allowed a researcher — and anyone else who might’ve discovered the problem — to hail Uber rides without paying for them.
Anand Prakash, a security researcher, discovered the bug in August and received permission from Uber to test it in the U.S. and India. He was able to successfully exploit the bug, getting free rides in both locations.

Let's use humanoid robots to grow transplant organs

Popular Science Humanoid robots like Eccerobot, shown here, closely mimic human anatomy. Similar robotics could be used to grow better tissues and organs in the lab. kevan/Flickr CC By 2.0 Scientists are already growing muscles, bones, and mini-organs in the lab. But these tissues are generally small, simple, and kinda wimpy. That's partly because a Petri dish is no match for the human body.

Take, for example, skeletal muscle. Bioreactors—typically warm, moist vats where cells are grown—might induce some simple movements in lab-grown muscles, but it's nothing like the multidirectional bending and stretching of the human body, which helps our muscles grow and get stronger. That's why two scientists from Oxford University are proposing that we use humanoid robots to grow engineered tissues instead. Their article was published Wednesday in Science Robotics.

Best Smartphone Tech of 2017

  Many of the smartphones coming out in 2017 are moving in similar technical directions—more fingerprint scanners, more USB Type-C connections, and so on.
All this smartphone tech was on display this week at the annual Mobile World Congress trade show in Barcelona. Most of the industry was represented, but not all. Apple characteristically refrained from making any iPhone news—it prefers to stick to events it controls—and Samsung uncharacteristically didn’t announce a new Galaxy phone. (We'll report on that company's new flagship model in a few weeks.)
Understanding these features can help if you're shopping for a new phone this year. Here's what you can expect to see in smartphone tech.
