Apple fans were left surprised when Display Supply Chain Consultants CEO, Ross Young, recently revealed that the upcoming 12.9-inch iPad Air would feature an LCD display instead of the previously rumored mini-LED display. This decision was made due to the high cost of the mini-LED panel, which would have made the tablet more expensive. The move to LCD displays for both iPad Air models sets them apart from the iPad Pro lineup, which is expected to transition to OLED displays in the near future. This means that the iPad Air models will offer a different display technology than their more…
In an exciting discovery, Eddie Templeton unearthed a fossilized toe bone of a saber-toothed tiger in Yazoo County, Mississippi. The bone is estimated to be from the Pleistocene era, making it over 10,000 years old. Saber-toothed tigers, scientifically known as smilodon fatalis, were formidable large carnivorous cats that weighed between 350 and 620 pounds. These ancient predators roamed the earth during the Pleistocene epoch and are believed to have used their specialized teeth to penetrate the soft tissue of their prey, which could have included giant ground sloths or mastodons. Interestingly, there are fewer than six fossilized bones of saber-toothed…
