The Bad Cop and

Space News Feed titled "Seeing

latitude and longitude coordinates out by more than 1.5 metres,
scientists say" submitted by Team
MavEtJu talks about the movement of the earth. The iMore article "Best iPhone bike
mounts to withstand the toughest trails" was shared as a good

accidentally broke the super-rugged Cat S60 smartphone" article
generated some discussion about how fragile even the most rugged
devices can be. Then there was the news that " iOS 10
warns when your Lightning port gets wet" which sounds like a
good idea. Finally, the "US
government agency calls for the end of SMS authentication"
article looked at a report which might change the was we
