China turns on its ‘artificial sun’ in quest for nuclear fusion energy
China on Friday made another step forward in its quest for clean energy through controlled nuclear fusion, as it commissioned its new “artificial sun” – a new generation nuclear fusion reactor research facility which operates at a temperature 10 times as hot as the sun. According to China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC), the HL-2M Tokamak apparatus is able to operate at 150 million degrees Celsius – almost three times hotter than the previous version called HL-2A. The ability to generate such ultra-high temperature is essential for the research of fusion process, replicating the way the sun produces energy using hydrogen and deuterium gases as fuels. The sun only operates at a temperature of 15 million degrees Celsius. The...
Ball dropped? Vaccine deal with Pfizer in progress, PH envoy says
https://newsinfo.inquirer.net/1372292/lacson-asks-who-dropped-the-ball-on-pfizer-vaccine-deal MANILA, Philippines — Who “dropped the ball” in the delivery of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines? It was a Cabinet official who “keeps dropping the ball but… stays in the game,” Senator Panfilo Lacson told INQUIRER.net in a text message on Wednesday. “The coach refuses to replace him,” he added. Before this, Lacson asked Foreign Affairs Secretary Teodoro Locsin Jr. during a Commission on Appointments (CA) hearing for the nomination of two Philippine ambassadors earlier in the day who “dropped the ball” on the Pfizer vaccines. In response, Locsin, who attended the hearing virtually, said: “I think it’s enough that I really lost my temper...
Sydney eases lockdown
Sydney on Thursday eased lockdown restrictions for Christmas after Australia’s largest city reported a second day of new coronavirus cases in the single digits. Amid a record testing and tracing effort, just eight new cases were recorded in the past 24 hours, prompting authorities to announce all residents could have at least some visitors over to celebrate the festive period. “Everybody has had a very difficult year,” said state Premier Gladys Berejiklian, announcing the “modest” three-day easing of restrictions. Berejiklian said most Sydneysiders would be allowed to invite 10 adults to their homes, with that number limited to five in the neighborhoods at the epicenter of the outbreak. She said the relaxing of rules was possible...
Thoughts about the shooting incident?
Kalat na kalat sa facebook yung ginawa ng pulis sa mag-ina na walang kalaban laban. Ambigat lang sa pakiramdama makapanood ng ganon. Di ko nilalahat pero marami talagang ganyang police na sabik bumaril or di kaya short tempered. Di ko alam kung bakit may mga ganyang klase ng tao na nakakapagsuot ng uniporme kung nate-train naman sila ng maayos. Sobrang awa ko lang talaga sa mag-ina na yon. May their souls rest in peace.

Huawei Officially Launches Its Google Maps Rival in Over 140 Countries
Huawei’s legal trouble in the United States and elsewhere has forced the company to increase its focus on an in-house operating system and apps supposed to pave the way for a world without Google. Due to the sanctions announced by the U.S. government, Huawei is no longer allowed to use software and hardware developed by American companies, and these include both Android and Google apps. In other words, its smartphones can no longer come pre-loaded with Google goodies, so Huawei’s best option was to invest in alternative solutions that would be bundled with its devices. Huawei Petal Maps is the Chinese tech giant’s response to Google Maps, and the application was finally launched earlier this month not only on the domestic market...
Moderna, Arcturus ready to supply 25M vaccines to PHL
Two more American biopharmaceutical firms Moderna and Arcturus are ready to supply four to 25 million of their respective COVID-19 vaccines to the Philippines, Manila's top diplomat to Washington said Friday.

Qualcomm has officially announced the Snapdragon 888 at its Snapdragon Tech Summit, offering a first look at its next-generation flagship smartphone processor.

THE FUTURE OF ANDROID FLAGSHIPS IS HERE The Snapdragon 888 will feature Qualcomm’s X60 modem, announced earlier this year, which jumps to a 5nm...
Paano nakuha ng China ang Scarborough Shoal?
President Rody Duterte chose for his foreign policy the engagement of China rather than the way of confrontation which his predecessor former President Noynoy Aquino or PNoy took. Rody’s efforts to mend ties with China were then spun by his critics, who are the yellow supporters of PNoy and the pro-American groups, as surrendering sovereignty. The Chinese buildup in the contested West Philippine Sea and the subsequent installation of weapon systems in the artificial islands are then blamed on Rody’s policy shift. History, however, has a way of exposing the truth, and it has turned out that the tandem of PNoy and his then-backdoor negotiator Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV may have had a lot to do with the loss of the Panatag (Scarborough)...
