Overlooking its obvious flaw, Samsung’s Galaxy Note 7 was one heck of a smartphone with a terrific display. At the time, renowned smartphone display expert and DisplayMate President Dr. Raymond M. Soneira found the flagship to have the most innovative and high performance display of any handset.
That’s some stiff competition to tackle but according to Soneira, Samsung has done just that with the Note 7’s successor.
In a report on the matter, Soneira notes that the Galaxy S8 steals the crown as the most innovative and high performance smartphone display they’ve ever tested in the lab.
Soneira found that the Galaxy S8 matches or sets new smartphone display records for highest peak brightness (1,020 nits), largest native color gamut (113 percent DCI-P3 and 142 percent sRGB / Rec.709), highest contrast rating in ambient light (227), highest (infinite) contrast ratio and lowest screen reflectance (4.5 percent), just to name a few.
The screen expert recalls that the first notable OLED smartphone they looked at, the Google Nexus One, came in last place in their 2010 smartphone display shootout. In the span of just seven years, mobile OLED technology now has a commanding first place lead on the industry and continues forging ahead.
The culmination of that is the Galaxy S8, the first in a new generation of OLED smartphones. Samsung is setting the stage for 2017 flagships as they’ll all likely use full screen display designs with flexible OLED technology.
Samsung’s Galaxy S8 and S8+ smartphones go on sale April 21.

Overwatch, PUBG, CS:GO, Quake Champions, Killing Floor 2... the volume and variety of great first-person shooters has never been greater.
Don't look now, but right now might be the best time ever for multiplayer FPSes. I'm old enough to have experienced the [to the tune of Bryan Adams] 'FPSummer of Ninety-Nine' that gave us, egad, Quake III, Unreal Tournament, Team Fortress Classic, and the beginning of Counter-Strike. I think 2017 surpasses that.
An Arma mod on steroids is the most popular FPS on Steam. PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is a story generator that balances intense firefights with goofing around. It's a 100-person free-for-all on a massive map that also respects your time. This week PUBG is running its first major tournament at Gamescom, with a $350,000 prize pool.
Even with PUBG alongside it, Arma 3—an intricate and often demanding sim—averages about 22,000 concurrent players daily. That's five times the playerbase it had at launch in 2013.
Blizzard's first FPS is colorful, competitive, and inclusive. But maybe most noteworthy is the tenacity and transparency with which Blizzard has iterated on Overwatch over time: it's been patched more than 120 times since launch, with seven seasonal events so far.
Investment money is pouring into Blizzard's Overwatch League, which will hopefully lay the groundwork for stable team rosters and great tournaments.
Tribes isn't dead, it was just sleeping.
Valve's support for CS:GO has been inconsistent, but the shooter has nevertheless cemented itself as an insanely deep competitive game. You could spend months working on your grenade technique alone. With its massive tournaments and a little help from online gambling, CS:GO has paved the way for all other FPS' esports scenes.
Quake is back. Even with a free-to-play business model, rentable characters, and 'ultimate' abilities attached to each champion, Quake Champions bunnyhops and talks like a pure Quake game.
One of the biggest game publishers in the world made a multiplayer-only, PC-first, tactical FPS and has supported it well for two years. Rainbow Six Siege has 2.3M daily players on all platforms.
One decade after Halo 2, Destiny 2 is coming to PC.
Tripwire and Antimatter Games are quietly making some of the best FPSes on this list. Killing Floor 2, which just ran a great summer event, deserves some sort of blood-soaked Emmy for its gore system and gun animations. Rising Storm 2: Vietnam represents one of the best midpoints between authenticity and accessibility, continuing the series' ambitious focus on asymmetry.
Battlefield 1, with easily the best infantry combat in the series, chugs along with paid expansions.
March's Day of Infamy is a worthy successor to Day of Defeat, with great co-op to boot.
Unreal Tournament is being remade as a unique collaboration between modders and Epic.
Expect a major update to Team Fortress 2 when it turns 10 on October 10.
Call of Duty: WWII is getting a beta on PC.
20 years after GoldenEye came out on Nintendo 64, the best version of it exists on PC and is maintained by a team of passionate fans. It's free.
Most of these games are funded by cosmetic microtransactions that don't affect gameplay, rather than expansions or map packs that would fragment the player base.
The 144hz monitors you should play these games on are getting cheaper.
I'm accepting counter-arguments in the comments.

20 years after goldeneye came out on nintendo 64, the best version of it exists on pc and is maintained by a team of passionate fans. it's free.
most of these games are funded by cosmetic microtransactions that don't affect gameplay, rather than expansions or map packs that would fragment the player base.
the 144hz monitors you should play these games on are getting cheaper.
i'm accepting counter-arguments in the comments.

Hey, wanna see my mesh.
"adding 3D effect to web.."
Photo of original teapot being modeled.
Wouldn't it be nice if there was a simple way of taking photographs of objects and magically transforming them into 3D objects? Well D Sculptor isn't it, but it does do a darn good job if you're willing to put in some work. D Sculptor is a new product from a new company called D Vision Works Limited in the UK. It was created by people with a whole bunch of photogrammetry experience and responsible for Geometra a previously reviewed product.
D Sculptor doesn't work by finding corresponding points of objects in photographs like most of these types of programs. Rather you find corresponding points of a reference set of points, marks on a table and then you outline the object in each of the photographs. If you have a lot of photographs this can get quite tedious but quality is never easy to obtain.
Object after outlining and mesh generation.
Final 3D object with extracted texture applied.
D Sculptor costs £500 (UK pound sterling) which is approximately $723 (US Dollars), it's not cheap but for a highly specialized modeling program like this, it's not bad either.
Position the object you want to model on a dot pattern.
Take photos of the object from a number of different angles.
Import these photographs into D Sculptor.
Point out the dots on the dot pattern in each photo.
Mark out the outline of the object in each photo.
Let D Sculptor calculate the 3-D model for you.
Export the 3-D model for use with other software packages as required.
Marking the dot patterns is no big deal and just a tad tedious. Outlining the objects, as you might imagine, could be a horrendous task. It's no fun but it's made much easier by the addition of a "stiffness slider" that let's you use a slider which causes D Sculpt to help you identify the edge boundaries of the photograph.
After you've gone through the photography, and dot patter matching and outlining process you can generate the mesh. On the bottom of the interface is a "P" and "M" for the two major modes. Photo mode and Model mode. Photo mode is where you do the outlining and pattern matching. Model mode is where you manipulate the model in 3D and refine the mesh. Also in Model mode you can adjust the rendering of the 3D object to display a solid object, flat or smooth shading.
A particularly nice feature is a slider that let's you control the density of the triangular mesh. You can use this to generate levels-of-detail for use in your run time delivery system. The following images illustrate teapots with progressively reduced numbers of polygons. The first contains 3000, then 1002, 504 and finally 105 triangles.
An equally important feature is the ability of the system to extract a texture map from the photographs. The original texture of the object is preserved and is mapped onto the mesh resulting in a photographic quality end product, the 3D model that looks like the real thing. Finally when you're all done D Sculptor has a rich set of export file formats such as: Direct 3D, DXF, Java (compressed Java graphics .cjg), VRML 2.0, Wavefront (.obj), JPG, BMP, TIFF.
The D Vision Works web site contains a number of example screen shots illustrating a D Sculptor mesh used in Maya and Bryce.
Happy modeling and may your meshes be efficient and all your polygons coplanar.

Two cemeteries in Washington County are prime examples of the wealth of history that graveyards can hold -- and the hard work required to maintain it.
Amid the hubbub of shopping centers and the din of traffic from nearby Hwy. 61, the cemetery sandwiched between McDonald's and Tires Plus seems jarringly out of place.
Few pause to notice the prim patch of well-tended green, bounded by an iron fence, that holds some of Cottage Grove's earliest pioneers.
The cemetery, designated a historic site by the Washington County Historical Society, has ties to the founders of Mars Inc., the giant candy manufacturing company.
Across the county, another cemetery lies hidden along a gravel road on one of the steep hillsides above Afton. It also holds many of that city's pioneers. Among them are several Civil War veterans, including one known as "the fighting reverend."
Lonely and forlorn, ravaged by vandals and threatened by encroaching buckthorn and other overgrowth from a nearby woods, it is a cemetery in a battle for its life.
Though Atkinson Cemetery in Cottage Grove and Mount Hope Cemetery in Afton are of the same vintage, historic significance and background, their fates have taken decidedly contrasting turns.
The status of Minnesota's historic cemeteries is reflected in these two graveyards.
There are more than 4,000 cemeteries and farm burial grounds in Minnesota; many are abandoned or under threat of vandalism and neglect, their history forgotten. "I would call it a significant problem," said Bonnie McDonald, executive director of the Minnesota Preservation Alliance.
In 2002, the alliance placed Mount Hope Cemetery on its Top 10 list of most endangered historic sites in the state. The cemetery had been abandoned, and Washington County was considering the site as a location for a new radio tower, McDonald said.
Since then, the graveyard has been removed from the endangered list: the county placed its antenna elsewhere because the city's title to the cemetery land was unsettled.
While that may be good news in the short term, McDonald said, Mount Hope still faces the same problems as other historic cemeteries across the state.
"Reinvesting or donating money to preserve cemeteries is a harder sell" compared to buildings, McDonald said. "It takes people."
Two people, E. Katie Holm and Ken Martens, have taken a special interest in two of Washington County's oldest graveyards, and their work insures that the cemeteries' history won't be lost.
It's not just dry dates and facts, but poignant stories of pioneer lives.
Helped by a grant from the Independent Feature Project, Holm, a Minneapolis writer and photographer, spent about a year researching and documenting the history of Atkinson Cemetery and the lives of the city pioneers who lie there. For her efforts, she was named the city's preservationist of the year in 2005.
"My family has always had an interest in cemeteries and genealogy," Holm said. Specifically, she credits her grandmother for sparking her interest in the stories that cemeteries have to tell.
"Cemeteries show the history of each place -- where it started and where it's been," she said. "They show how people care for their memories."
The cemetery, Holm found, was probably founded on heartache. John Atkinson had been one of Cottage Grove's first arrivals, in 1846. He founded the Universalist Church, set up a private school in his home and became an early city leader. When his 16-year-old son Martin drowned in 1854, he was likely buried on a parcel of land Atkinson owned. That site grew into the cemetery.
In the early 1970s, before the area around it was developed, Atkinson Cemetery had been abandoned for 60 years, so overgrown no one even noticed it was there, Holm said.
Once it was rediscovered, the city, joined by families and the city's Lions Club, began major restoration work. Most of the vegetation, save for a majestic oak tree, was removed. Grave markers were replaced, Holm said, but after years of vandalism and lost records, it's not certain that gravestones were put back in their original spots.
The effort was aided by Forrest Mars, head of the giant candy company whose family -- inventors of M&Ms and Milky Way and Snickers candy bars -- is from the Newport/Cottage Grove area. A large monument in the cemetery pays tribute to the Mars ancestors, though it's unknown if any are actually buried there.
"I would assume there's more people there than there are records for," Holm said. Notably, there is no gravestone for John Atkinson, but it's likely he's somewhere in the cemetery bearing his name. "As far as I know, no one knows where he's buried."
Martens, a local historian who is active in the Afton Historical Museum, first visited Mount Hope Cemetery with his father as a boy, in 1967. The pair hiked up the hillside on Halloween day. "And we had to look for it, because there was no improvement here."
As with Atkinson Cemetery, the first burials at Mount Hope were in 1854, four years before Minnesota became a state.
Among the Civil War veterans buried here, Martens said, is the Rev. Simon Putnam, whose fiery ardor for the Union cause helped recruit dozens ofsoldiers. Many joined the First Minnesota Infantry, the unit credited with turning the tide at the Battle of Gettysburg.
"I call him the fighting reverend," Martens said. Putnam, who founded the Congregational Church in Afton and whose house still stands across from the Afton Historical Society Museum, enlisted at age 39, bringing his 16-year-old son Myron along as a drummer boy.
The Putnams ended up with the Third Minnesota Volunteers. While fewer than 20 members of the unit died in battle, nearly 300 died of disease. That was the case for both Putnams.
The cemetery is actually two distinct areas, Martens said: A Victorian-era cemetery with more ornate stones and formal burial sites and, further into the woods, a primitive burial ground with cruder homemade stones and telltale depressions in the earth with no markings.
"It's been lost and forgotten a lot of times, and then rediscovered and lost again," Martens said. There are 33 burials in the newer portion, though archaeologists suspect there could be 100 more.
Vandals have made it a frequent target, and their damage is still evident. Buckthorn and other vegetation also are encroaching on the site, despite volunteers who occasionally mow it and Boy Scouts who do frequent cleanups, Martens said. "Nature takes over faster than you can clean it up."
Martens has spent much time over the past 40 years poring through records and piecing together the stories of the people buried at the cemetery. "I feel like I'm a detective trapped in a time machine," he said.
Partly through his work, there may be hope for Mount Hope Cemetery.
The city of Afton is in the process of getting a clear title to the land. Once that's done, the cemetery could get the regular care that it needs, said Ken Johnson, head of the city's Public Works Department.
That prospect tantalizes Martens. "There's still mysteries to be solved here," he said. "If we could preserve it, we could probably get to the answers someday."

LA JOLLA, Calif.--(HSMN NewsFeed)--Traversa Therapeutics, Inc., a privately held developer of RNAi delivery technologies, announced today the completion of a $2 million Series A financing led by the San Diego Tech Coast Angels and joined by investors Mesa Verde Venture Partners and Morningside Group.
Traversa was founded with technology developed by Professor Steven F. Dowdy, Ph.D., and his research group at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and the University of California San Diego (UCSD) relating to siRNA delivery and the induction of RNA Interference (RNAi).
“There is a great need for novel short interfering RNA (siRNA) delivery platforms. This technology has shown outstanding delivery characteristics in pre-clinical models, as well as in vitro delivery to nearly all cell types and entire cell populations assayed in a non-cytotoxic fashion. These cell types include primary cells, T cells, B cells, Macrophage, huESC and tumor cells, where other delivery approaches have failed,” noted Dr. Dowdy, co-founder of Traversa.
Dr. Francois Ferre, co-CEO of Althea Technologies and lead angel investor, has joined the board. Both Dan Wood of Mesa Verde Venture Partners and Roger Flugel of Sanderling Ventures are board observers. Sanderling Ventures and a Morningside Group entity are limited partners of Mesa Verde Venture Partners.
Traversa Therapeutics, Inc. is a La Jolla, California-based biopharmaceutical company engaged in the discovery, development and commercialization of RNAi delivery technologies. The company strives to rapidly advance siRNA platform delivery technologies for use internally and by other pharmaceutical companies in targeting a wide variety of acute, chronic and infectious human diseases. Traversa also markets its technology for high throughput RNAi screening applications.
San Diego Tech Coast Angels is a group of private investors who invest in and assist early-stage, Southern California companies. It is the San Diego network of the Southern California-based Tech Coast Angels organization, which also has networks in Santa Monica and Newport Beach.
Mesa Verde Venture Partners' charter is to invest in a diversified portfolio of early-stage biotechnology and medical technology companies in the southwest.

"Pare, you're so thin!" I greeted my friend this afternoon. What happened?
Turns out my friend started exercising this year -- 20 minutes on the treadmill on weekdays, 45 on weekends. Every. Single. Day.
Why the sudden need to be athletic? He was surprised to find out that his blood pressure was 160 over something.
I got scared when I found out that even though he had such high blood pressure, he didn't feel that anything was wrong with him. He actually felt good (except for a stuffy nose, but that was it).
So how'd he bring it down to a respectable 120/80? Nope, not medication. Just exercise (lots of walking) and a sensible diet.
Which reminds me of those P.E. classes about maintaining 60% to 80% of your Maximum Heart Rate for about 30 minutes. Remember that thing about 220 minus your age?
Anyway, there's another Max HR formula that deals with your age and 5% of your body weight in pounds. It's called The Best Fit Formula for computing your maximum heart rate.
Okay. Enough typing in front of the computer. It's time to walk around more. See ya!
