As Patently Apple reports, the $999 billion lawsuit was filed by one Violetta Mailyan in California, stating that “each member of the Class had to buy a newer iPhone model because the performance of their older iPhone model had slowed down as a result of [the] Defendant’s purposeful conduct.”
Mailyan’s suit goes on to claim that, had Apple disclosed that it slowed down iPhones, Class members could have obtained new batteries rather than replace their devices. Other plaintiffs reiterate that the “throttle” defect forced them into upgrading their handsets.

Novel Complementary Effects of Estrogen Treatment in Multiple Sclerosis
A study by UCLA researchers reveals the cellular basis for how the hormone estrogen protects against damage to the central nervous system in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). The researchers found that estrogen treatment exerts positive effects on two types of cells during disease --immune cells in the brain and also cells called oligodendrocytes. Complementary actions on these two types provide protection from disease.
The research is in Brain. (full open access)

Next year is already overflowing with exciting missions to space. NASA is launching a new lander to Mars, as well as a spacecraft that will get closer to the Sun than ever before. And two of NASA’s vehicles already in space will finally arrive at their intended targets: one will rendezvous with a nearby asteroid, while another will pass by a distant space rock billions of miles from Earth.

Worth waiting for
Rhododendron arboretum
Bhutan
Here in Norway the last weeks have been a dismal affair! Snowfall going sleet and then rain, only to freeze over and make everything dangerously slippery is the norm so far, and now the last downpour has melted most of the snow again, but not enough to also melt the black ice on the roads, trails and wherever someone has walked before and compacted what snow was there.
No winter wonderland to ease this dark season. Only bland, grey, black and dark.
Yet we know that this is temporary and one day the sun will have won over darkness, and snow will be a distant memory.
That is when nature explodes with colors, and perhaps nowhere else is it as magical as in the Himalayas when the rhododendrons are in bloom
They stand alone as tall beacons of splendor and abundance, or together as forests of a dreamland of another world.
It is in the midst of this we remember how a long winter is worth it, as the joy of spring also melts away all that is bland, grey, black and dark of winter. Without this darkness the spring would also not have been so intensely wonderful and filling our hearts with gratitude and appreciation of the flow of the universe.

Selenium Protects a Specific Type of Interneurons in the Brain
Exactly 200 years ago, the Swedish scientist Jöns Jacob Berzelius discovered the trace element selenium, which he named after the goddess of the moon, Selene. Besides its industrial applications (chemical industry, production of semiconductors and toners), selenium is an essential trace element and indispensable for humans, many animals and some bacteria. A team led by Dr. Marcus Conrad, research group leader at the Institute of Developmental Genetics (IDG) at Helmholtz Zentrum München, showed for the first time why selenium is a limiting factor for mammals.

Amazon Blocks YouTube on the Amazon Fire TV Before Google’s Deadline - In recent months, Google and Amazon have had what can only be described as a petty fight. Amazon prevented Google’s Chromecast from playing Amazon Prime Video and delisted Chromecast devices from its store. Google, for its part, blocked Amazon’s Echo Show speaker from accessing YouTube, and announced it would no longer support the YouTube application on Fire TV devices after January 1st, 2018.

Wrist Worn Gadget Allows Researchers to Capture Real Life Sleep
"There has been practically no possibility of getting detailed sleep structures in a normal life setting over a long period of time," says Till Roenneberg of LMU Munich in Germany. "You can't easily give somebody an EEG to take home and have next to the bed. You can't do this over six weeks or six months. We are going to see things nobody has seen before."
The research is in Current Biology. (full open access)

Both webOS and Windows Mobile previously shared the lime light, and it might be a pipe dream to hope that either one of them makes a return. But if either platform did make a comeback, what would you like to see out of the hardware bringing that software to market? Would you adopt webOS or Windows Mobile if they returned?

Full Wolf Supermoon - New Year's Day Coincides with the Biggest Moon of 2018
A supermoon is set to light up the sky on New Year's Day, as the lunar cycle and calendar cycle align for a rare astronomical treat.
New Year's first full moon will peak on the night between 1 and 2 January 2018, at around 02:24 GMT (January 1, 9 24 p.m. ET).
It was known by early Native American tribes as the "Wolf Moon", because this was the time of the year when hungry wolf packs howled outside their camps.
The 2018 Wolf Moon is also a "supermoon", which means it coincides with the Moon's closest approach to Earth - known as the perigee.
http://www.mirror.co.uk/science/full-wolf-moon-light-up-11761984
It will appear up to 8% wider and 16% brighter than average full Moons later in the year. The extra brightness of the full Moon on the night of Jan. 1-2 may have some side effects. Namely, super moondogs: http://www.atoptics.co.uk/halo/parmoon.htm
Moondogs are rainbow-colored splashes of light to the left and right of bright moons, created by the light-bending action of ice crystals in high cirrus clouds.

“To construct such a laser array would necessitate a tremendous investment in the building of infrastructure in space. To develop the sails capable of reflecting enough light while withstanding the heat and maintaining their balance will require a tremendous advance in materials science and engineering. To withstand the journey through interstellar space at such high speeds, we’ll need to develop unprecedented shielding/deflection technologies. To slow down to sufficiently low speeds to take data will require a new kind of braking technology, which will likely also be developed in tandem with the laser sail. And to miniaturize the technologies capable of storing, recording, and transmitting information from the Alpha Centauri system back to Earth will likely mean we need to reach (or at least approach) the quantum limit for materials.”
If you want to accomplish something great, you need to be willing to take on challenges that might seem impossible, given what we currently know. But striving for those lofty goals, and investing the necessary resources in the endeavor, is how we move forward as a species. If we aim for Alpha Centauri, there are a huge number of challenges and obstacles we’ll have to overcome, but none of them require overhauling the laws of physics. Instead, they simply require developing new techniques and technologies, which is the same set of challenges that the Apollo program faced. When we look at the spinoff technologies that have traditionally come from this type of research and development, we find that the value we’ve gleaned has far surpassed whatever we invested. Imagine what will be come possible if we develop what we perceive is necessary for a reconnaissance mission to another star system?
Even if the mission itself fails, simply attempting to reach for the stars could change our world in ways we can barely envision. It’s worth it. Let’s go.
