DT Daily: Samsung S6 camera tech, NASA’s Titan submarine, new VR View-Master

Today on DT Daily: Samsung ramps up expectations for the Galaxy S6, NASA wants to build a submarine and Mattel rolls out a new View-Master for the Internet age.

Outside of the iPhone, few handsets can manage as much pre-release hype as a new Samsung Galaxy, the firm’s flagship phone. The newest iteration, the S6, is coming soon, and word is, it’ll have some serious cameras built in.

In 2005, NASA landed a little probe on Titan, Saturn’s biggest moon. It sniffed around and took some photos, revealing rocks and whole oceans of liquid methane. Now, NASA wants to send a whole submarine there.

We talked about a Mattel-Google View-Master mashup earlier, and now, Mattel has taken the wraps off a prototype device, and it looks pretty cool! Mattel says the new View-Master will work with Apple and Android devices, and should sell for 30 bucks.

worklife episode 26 featured

On this episode of Work/Life, Ciara Pressler, author of Pregame and Game Plan, talks with Greg Nibler about how to remain focused during the constant distractions, chaos, and confusion of the current climate, whether it’s pandemic fatigue, protests, wildfires, the election, or any number of other things out of our control that can take our attention or bog us down.

“There’s a lot going on,” Pressler said, “so how do we focus when there’s so much going on?” The first step of gaining focus, she says, is to acknowledge what’s going on -- not just with the constant barrage of news, but with yourself. “You might not be feeling like working at 100%, and that’s ok!” she says.
