Timing of Entry from PDAs to Smart Phones: The Evolution of an Industry

Despite having innovative and sophisticated product designs, most of the early PDA companies failed. This was mainly because the success of PDAs was dependent on several aspects of enabling technology that had not been fully developed at the time a flurry of companies ventured into this sector. The success of PDAs was dependent on the invention of enabling technologies such as handwriting recognition software, modems, and power and memory miniaturization.

Meet the 'Milky Bar' Snail.

This giant carnivorous albino snail has been found in the New Zealand bush, and it's only the second recorded sighting of such a creature.

A new study involving researchers from UNSW Science has finally proved dingoes aren't a subspecies and actually belong to an entirely different group of predators than dogs and wolves.
