According to a study released on Monday, the fast melting ice sheet in Greenland would eventually cause the global sea level to rise by at least 10.6 inches (27 centimeters), which is more than twice as much as predicted. That is due to something that might be referred to as zombie ice. That is doomed ice that is no longer being replenished by parent glaciers that are now receiving less snow, despite still being tied to thicker sections of ice. Without replenishment, the climate change-induced melting of the fatal ice will definitely raise sea levels, according to research co-author and glaciologist William Colgan of the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland. "Ice is dead. According to Colgan, it will simply melt and vanish off the ice sheet. No matter which climate (emissions) scenario we choose at this time, this ice has been relegated to the ocean. It is "more like one foot in the grave," according to the study's principal author, glaciologist Jason Box of th...

  Use a Chrome-cast and Google TV to stream live video from the new Nest Cams and Nest  Doorbell. Finally, Google is adding an outdated feature to its new Nest cameras. Starting this week, you can use a Chromecast with Google TV to broadcast the video feed from all of your Nest cameras and video doorbells to your TV. “What?” You query. Couldn't you have done this already? Yes and no, I suppose. The largest screen in your home could display the video feed from previous Nest cameras, including the Google Nest Doorbell (wired), the now-discontinued Nest Cams, and the camera within the Nest Hub Max. However, none of Google's more recent cameras could stream to Chromecast devices, as I pointed out in my evaluation of the new Nest Cam (indoor, wired). As stated in the blog post, "All Nest Cams and Nest Doorbells will be supported, including our latest products that were released in 2021: the Nest Cam (outdoor or indoor, battery), Nest Cam (inside, wired), Nest Cam with floodlig...

  Monkeypox: Bloomberg Opinion's Bobby Ghosh hosted a live Twitter Space discussion with Bloomberg Intelligence senior pharmaceutical analyst Sam Fazeli to get the lowdown on the disease and find out whether we should be worried. The World Health Organization has revealed that there are now 131 confirmed cases of monkeypox, and a further 106 suspected cases, in 19 countries. Experts describe the event as "random" but "containable" and was likely sparked initially by sexual activity at recent raves in Spain and Belgium. Nevertheless, with the world still reeling from the effects of the covid pandemic, the rise of a different disease is putting many people on edge. Bloomberg Opinion's Bobby Ghosh hosted a live Twitter Space discussion with Bloomberg Intelligence senior pharmaceutical analyst Sam Fazeli to get the lowdown on the disease and find out whether we should be worried. Bobby Ghosh:  Let me start by asking the most basic question possible: What is monk...

  According to a South Korean government official familiar with the situation, three North Korean cargo planes went to China and back on Monday as the country confronts a rapidly growing outbreak of Covid-19. The jets landed at Taoxian International Airport in Shenyang, Liaoning Province in northeast China, according to the official. The planes' cargo is unknown, but the unusual voyage came after China vowed to assist North Korea with its Covid epidemic, which experts have warned could result in a serious humanitarian crisis in the isolated and impoverished country. Last week, North Korea announced its first-ever Covid instances. It had previously denied any allegations and has kept its borders closed since January 2020. North Korea has claimed over two million "fever" cases since May 12, with state media describing it as a "serious national emergency" and authorities scurrying to respond. All cities have been put on lockdown, and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un...

  Ming-Chi Kuo is one of a select group of Apple analysts whose reports are always worth revisiting, no matter how weird they appear at first. We've heard a lot of rumors that the business is working on its own foldable tablet, in keeping with its tradition of arriving late to the party while simultaneously being the best dressed. It's understandable that the corporation is experimenting with a variety of form factors. While firms like Samsung and Huawei have made significant progress since the initial generation of foldable devices, there is no doubt that no one has solved the code completely yet. Screen technology has advanced significantly in recent years, as has E Ink technology. "Apple is testing E Ink's Electronic Paper Display (EPD) for future foldable device cover screens and tablet-like applications," Kuo said earlier today on Twitter. "Due to its remarkable power-saving capabilities, the color EPD has the potential to become a popular solution for f...

  Pour one for the iPod, the lovely little device of my youthful fantasies. While Apple officially retired the last iPod model this week, the "pod" lives on in the digital audio format that we all adore. The iPod was never truly the format where the podcast thrived (that honor goes to the smartphone), but it was pretty much the only game in town when podcasts first debuted. The iPod accounted for 60% of the global MP3 device market in 2004. It was, if inelegantly, the default option for listening to audio shows on the move. "It was a terrible experience," says Leo Laporte, founder of the early digital audio outlet This Week in Tech (TwiT) and host of The Tech Guy radio show. "You had to download it to your computer, connect your computer to your iPod via iTunes, copy it over to your iPod, and then listen to it." But, with the device now ubiquitous, the term "podcast" seemed like a natural fit for the fledgling online audio shows that were emergin...
