AnTuTu officially claims the Galaxy S6 and S6 edge are the most powerful smartphones to date

AnTuTu is definitely among the most reputable mobile benchmarks, so their analysis always make for an interesting read. Now the company has officially tallied up a lot of recent test results and has come to the conclusion that the Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 are the most powerful smartphones in existence.

That is quite a grand proclamation to make, but if anyone has the numbers to back it up, it's AnTuTu. The enclosed chart was created after averaging a large base of user-submitted benchmark results.

This is the only effective way to eliminate odd results and find "true to life" values. According to it the Galaxy S6 takes the cake with a whopping 67,520 points on average, followed close by the S6 edge with 63,910. Third place is occupied by Xiaomi and particularly the Mi Note Pro.

This will certainly change shortly though and the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 in the upcoming LG Nexus 5 (2015) is making a bold statement with an outrageous AnTuTu score of 85,530 points. So it seems we are in for yet another major leap forward in performance with the next line of flagship devices.

Ernest Cline’s ‘Armada’ Drowns in Video Game And Sci-Fi Nostalgia

For a long while now, I’ve been eagerly anticipating the release of Armada, a book by Ernest Cline whose breakout novel, Ready Player One, remains one of my favorite sci-fi tales. His first book was a timely, fantastic peek into what a VR-consumed society could look like, and though the text was littered with nostalgic references, they made a certain amount of sense within the larger context of the story. Ready Player One also had a depth to it that explored why we have this need for escapism, and the relief gaming can provide. It ends with a pretty complex take on whether or not gaming and virtual lives are a gift or a curse.

The Missing Party In The Discussion About Sustainable Farming

The good news is that state-of-the art sustainable farming practices can pay for themselves.  When fields are tended in a way that improves soil quality over time, there are multiple environmental benefits in terms of water quality, greenhouse gas emissions, and energy demand.  At the same time, this kind of farming increases the value of land through increased productivity and greater drought resilience.  The not so good news is that farmers rent much of the land they farm, so they don’t fully benefit from the financial up-side of this sort of sustainable farming.  And typically, those that own the land are far removed from the details of farming.  I believe that this disconnect and misalignment of financial incentives is a key barrier to the fuller implementation of the kind of farming that could meet both our environmental and food supply goals.

Flash. Must. Die.


Flash. Must. Die.
Flash is a closed, proprietary system on a web that deserves open standards. It’s a popular punching bag for hackers, which puts users at risk over and over again. And it’s a resource-heavy battery suck that at this point mostly finds its purchase in pop-up ads you didn’t want to see anyway.
