The fabric that wraps around the cable looks similar to what's used on most other braided cables, but the Viper's cable is far more bendy, and it feels more like actual fabric than other braided cords that I've used.

The bendy disk of purple-blue frosting inside this cookie tastes precisely like one of those oversize blueberry muffins that no one bought the day before from the bodega so now you can get it for half the price.

The team eventually came up with a design that mimics the way that a real egg breaks, piece by piece, by finding the right mix between brittle and bendy plastic, and building a band of structural weaknesses inside of the egg.

This could make the new Razr less awkward to use than other bendy phones like the Galaxy Fold which sports a 4.2:3 aspect ratio display, and the Huawei Mate X, which sports an even squarer 8:7.1 aspect ratio.

In addition to the oft-stated upsides of a bendy smartphone, a built-in bend sensor (similar to what the lab deployed in its recent ReFlex prototype) leverages the motion as another means with which to interact with the handset.

It wasn't until I was dosed with my first true Cheddar that the doors of perception were cleansed, and this sacred cheese appeared to me as it truly is: very dank, and nothing like the bendy bricks of my youth.

From here on out, everything will just be slight variations on this until something more revolutionary comes around, which may not be too long if Samsung lives up to its promises of debuting a bendy-screen handset before the end of the year.

The idea of the U.K.'s sovereignty being threatened by Brussels has ignited the British imagination and indignation over the years, with media stories (many apocryphal) about EU bans on anything from "bendy bananas" to conker games in the U.K.'s school playgrounds.

The Good Place's repeated mention of time being all foldy and bendy in reality this season (the knife, Jeremy Bearimy) and then the idea that it's harder to be moral "today" than it was in the past has me thinking you're probably right.

The EU does have standards for bananas, which are classified according to quality and size to ease international trade, but a reference to bananas being "free from malformation or abnormal curvature" does not amount to a ban on bendy bananas, it says.

This universe has a boundary—the can's side—which makes it a convenient testing ground for ideas about quantum gravity: Physicists can treat bendy space-time in the can's interior like a hologram that projects off of the can's surface, where there is no gravity.

On top of that, the nature of the Axon M's folding screen forced ZTE to work with Google to figure out how to make apps work across multiple screen sizes and ratios, which paves the way for the inevitable wave of phones with full on bendy screens.

Buying forecast for Spring/Summer 2019: At this point, most of the big new phones are out, though there are a few stragglers like the Sony Xperia 1, Asus Zenfone 6, and whatever bendy thing Motorola is cooking up for its rumored Razr Reboot still to come.

But with the announcement of the Galaxy S25 5G, LG V50 5G, and Huawei Mate X (yes, Huawei's bendy phone is also 5G-ready), and several 5G prototypes from the likes of OnePlus, Oppo, ZTE, and others, there's finally some actual 5G hardware to talk about.

Photo: Sam Rutherford (Gizmodo)The Alpha's air controls are a neat trick, but in the end, I couldn't help but think if they removed that sensor along with the Alpha's 5-MP camera and tried to make a more traditional smartwatch with a bendy screen, the Alpha wouldn't be far off from something I might want to buy.

That's my idea of the perfect gadget, and while the bendy Samsung Galaxy Fold and Huawei Mate X seem like they bring us one step closer to that, in reality, the first batch of folding phones are going to be even more fragile than the smartphone you carry now—at least until a few other crucial technologies catch up.

Along with Knowles's lithe falsetto, they've added the creamy, curvy tones of JONES and like all the best videos, this one elevates the track by being perfectly bizarre—featuring a plethora of bendy bodies, falling from the sky and tangling with one another, like a bunch of helium injected blow up sex dolls popped and plummeting… and bouncing off a giant woman.

If I wanted to make this my career, I'd need to be practicing for a few hours at least five days a week, slogging through all the conditioning drills I skip when my teacher isn't around, doing cardio training, taking ballet classes to improve my lines, and stretching daily to get from "flexible-ish for an average person" to dancer-level bendy.

While Samsung was careful not to give away too much, the company's still unnamed, bendy-screen device not only featured a tablet-sized, 7.3-inch flexible display on the inside for all your normal smartphone stuff, it also offered a traditional display—which Samsung is calling a "cover screen"— on the outside so you can quickly access your phone without needing to unfold it.

And, aah, the women in Mack's life: They include a bendy-toy-bodied Haydn Gwynne, as his lover and mother-in-law, looking like she's waiting for Otto Dix to paint her; Debbie Kurup as the fierce Lucy Brown; and, most amusingly, Rosalie Craig, as Macheath's bride, the prim Polly Peachum, who looks and sounds rather like Julie Andrews in head girl mode, until she opens her mouth to belch resoundingly.

Boris Johnson, meanwhile, ran as a lovable doofus, and he did some very doofy things: immediately scrapping the fleet of bendy buses because he didn't like the way they looked, solving the pollution problem by spraying glue on streets with air quality detectors, building a useless cable car nobody wanted, and approving a useless "garden bridge" that people want for very bad reasons, slouching around the world to be racist toward people, etc.

As I described in an article this week on a new theoretical attempt to explain away dark matter, many leading physicists now consider space-time and gravity to be "emergent" phenomena: Bendy, curvy space-time and the matter within it are a hologram that arises out of a network of entangled qubits (quantum bits of information), much as the three-dimensional environment of a computer game is encoded in the classical bits on a silicon chip.

The new ThinkPads include: the 12-inch ThinkPad X270 with a touch display option, starting at $909 and available next March; the "bendy" ThinkPad Yoga 370 with a full HD 13.3-inch display, also shipping in March, for $14.53,264; four new ThinkPad T Ultrabook models, starting at $909, that come in a variety of customizations; the rugged ThinkPad L 14-inch and 15-inch laptops, which start at $779 and $909, respectively; a less-expensive ThinkPad 13, which is aimed at small business owners or students and sells for $674; and an array of new docks that support Thunderbolt 3 and USB Type-C.
