SpaceX wants to beam internet from its Starlink satellites to vehicles on Earth. The revelation came via a recent SpaceX filing with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requesting permission to install its internet terminals in moving vehicles — not just people's homes.
SpaceX chief Elon Musk subsequently offered some clarification via Twitter, stating that the aim is to connect "aircraft, ships, large trucks & RVs."
Offering Starlink broadband to vehicles would significantly expand the market for SpaceX, with Musk already eyeing $50 billion in annual revenue if the company is able to secure even just a few percent of the global telecommunications market via Starlink. |

The case was complicated: Shoulder arthroplasty, to deal with an advanced case of arthritis affecting the patient's glenoid — the ball part of the ball-and-socket joint in the shoulder. To handle the case most effectively, the surgeon wanted assistance from the best. But the best was physically half a world away. What to do?
From his operating theater in France, orthopedic surgeon Thomas Gregory slipped on a Microsoft Hololens 2 headset and dialed up three colleagues in Brazil, Belgium, and South Africa. They walked through holograms of the patient and collectively talked through the surgery; peering along as Gregory opened the patient's shoulder joint, Stephen Roche, Bruno Gobbato, and Jean Florin Ciornohac suggested different clamps and alternate pathways and observed Gregory's technique. Together, they turned a bit of surgery into a technology showcase.
This surgery wasn't some science fiction film, however, nor was it the dream of a PR spinmaster. It actually took place just a few weeks ago, in Avicenne AP-HP Hospital in Bobigny, France — and it's only the beginning. |

Klipsch's T5 II wireless earbuds are stylish, compact, and they sound great. But is that enough to raise them above all the other wireless earbud choices?
If you're considering the Apple AirPods, or just looking for an alternative, you definitely need to check out Klipsch's $200 T5 II wireless earbuds. They are the second generation of an already great set of earbuds, and while (like the AirPods) they don't have noise-canceling built-in, they've got just about everything else.
Plus, unlike the AirPods, they're compact and comfortable to wear. |
