Ever wanted to hoard old cars but never had the time? Well, now’s your chance! A Canadian man who’s spent the past four decades buying used cars is  selling his 340-plus cache of vehicles plus the five acres of land it’s sitting on, a house and an auto restoration shop for $1.45 million Canadian, or about $1.08 million in U.S. currency. According to  Driving.ca , Mike Hall works as a rock scaler and travels the country clearing roadside cliffs for up to 10 months a year. He says he makes more money than he knows what to do with when he’s back in his British Columbia home. So he started buying up used cars like a “sickness,” shipping them home and eventually parking them on an organic farm he and his wife bought, before the collection got too big and she told him to find somewhere else to put it.

Traditional weaponry has often been a burden to soldiers, placing added weight on their bodies, slowing reaction at times when all of their facilities are needed. Future troops may wind up having a “third arm” to help offset the weight. The Army Research Laboratory is testing a device that attaches to ground troops’ protective vests, potentially letting Soldiers’ hands be freed up for other tasks. NFL PLAYERS AND COMBAT VETERANS JOIN FORCES TO SAVE LIVES "We're looking at a new way for the Soldier to interface with the weapon," Zac Wingard, a mechanical engineer for the lab's Weapons and Materials Research Directorate told the U.S. Army's  website . "It is not a product; it is simply a way to study how far we can push the ballistic performance of future weapons without increasing Soldier burden." The goal of the device would put all of the weight on a soldier’s body, allowing them to potentially have a more lethal weapon, perhaps adding as mu...

Galaxy S8 Facial Recognition Fail Samsung's Galaxy S8 comes with several biometric features -- including one that could be fooled pretty easily, according to a report. A video has surfaced online that shows a person placing a photo in front of the Galaxy S8. The device's facial-recognition feature then sees the photo, which shows a person's face, and the handset unlocks. It takes a couple of times to get it right, but the video, which was earlier reported on by SamMobile , suggests the Galaxy S8's facial-recognition feature can be rather easily duped. Samsung touted the handset's security features during the Galaxy S8 launch event . The company noted that the handset comes with a fingerprint reader on the back to complement its facial recognition and iris scanner features.
