New Mexico, Colorado wildfires force hundreds to evacuate

(Reuters) - Wildfires stoked by low humidity and high temperatures raged in northern New Mexico and southern Colorado on Saturday, threatening nearly 1,900 homes and forcing the evacuation of hundreds of residents from remote communities, fire officials said. The two fires, about 250 miles (400 km) apart in the drought-parched Four Corners region of the Southwestern United States, have consumed nearly 32,000 acres (12,000 hectares)between them, officials said. The larger of the two, the so-called Ute Park Fire in Colfax County, New Mexico, was zero percent contained after scorching some 30,000 acres by Saturday evening near Cimarron, a town of about 1,100 people northeast of Santa Fe, according to a bulletin on the New Mexico Fire Information website. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2sBXtR1 via Latest News

Deal: Dual SIM Samsung Galaxy S8 drops to $475

If you are a Samsung fan in the US, and are in the market for a flagship smartphone (not necessarily a recent one), here's a deal for you: the Galaxy S8 is currently going for $474.99. An eBay retailer is offering the device at this price. Keep in mind the model on offer is the international one that comes with Exynos chipset (instead of Snapdragon SoC that powers US models).

Sunday debate: Classic 16:9 vs. Taller screen ratios

First there was the Motorola DynaTAC - a massive mobile phone that wasn't attached to a cord going in the wall. From then on phones started getting smaller and smaller while getting smarter.

Counterclockwise: Windows on phones evolves but can't fight off Android

Mobile OSes went through a Cambrian explosion and then there was an inevitable mass extinction. The two survivors - Android and iOS - date back to 2007 and they completely dominate the field. Android is on 9 in 10 phones while iOS lives in concentrated pockets around the world. Probably the last big OS to fall was Windows. We look back to the PocketPC days and Windows Mobile. Back then, the UI tried to imitate the mouse and keyboard-driven desktop Windows and let's just say that it wasn't great. Then there was the Windows Phone whose UI was inspired by the Zune players.
