The Kiowa Warrior is slated to retire in 2025, the Chinook in 2035, and both the Apache and Black Hawk will be gone by 2040. We thought we had a suitable replacement for all of these platforms in the Boeing-Sikorsky RAH-66 Comanche. But then, this next-gen stealth chopper vanished in a puff of bureaucratic smoke.
One of the smaller battles being played out in the fight between iOS 8 and Android 5 is the Apple Health(Kit) vs Google Fit bout. Although Apple has the more comprehensive platform (designed to handle medical data as well as track activity), Google Fit can still be considered as a direct rival. It's still early days for the app and its underlying technologies, but here's how you can make use of it as it stands at the moment.
Breaking Bad fans will be happy to hear that Aaron Paul, the scruffy actor that played Jesse Pinkman on the hit AMC show, has helped release a new Yo-style app with a predictable (but hilarious) spin. YB offers a variety of single-direction messages, such as "cool", "later", and of course "yo", followed by his signature line, "b*tch."
Every message includes a sound byte of Paul delivering the line, and has the option to reply to the originating YBer. New messages are unlocked through in-app purchases, and interactive notifications help you send replies easily enough. There are even contests to unlock new phrase packs.

In Florida, at the Kennedy Space Center, Molly White is cheering with her sister. Today the two space enthusiasts watched gleefully as the Orion spacecraft rocketed away from Cape Canaveral, circled Earth twice, and splashed down off the coast of Baja California in the Pacific Ocean at 10:29AM Eastern. A product of years of work and anticipation, the uncrewed Orion Exploration Test Flight-1 took exactly 4 hours and 24 minutes. And White, an aerospace engineer for the National Aeronautics and...
Today, Android is the world's most pervasive mobile operating system on the planet, powering millions of smartphones, tablets, wearables, and more. But that wasn't always the case, and Android's public life started from humble beginnings just about six years ago.
After a smooth launch from Florida's Cape Canaveral, Orion splashed down west of Baja California, in the Pacific Ocean. Orion's two loops around Earth got as high as 3,600 miles— about 15 times higher than the International Space Station and the highest any spacecraft made for people has gone in decades.
Orion didn't have a crew onboard today, but it's built to take astronauts to destinations as ambitious as an asteroid — or even Mars. NASA has said Orion's test launch is part of a series of steps that end with a human mission to Mars. Today's mission is meant to mimic much of the stress that a craft meant to go to space will endure.
