 A century after it opened as a simple grass runway in a village west of London, Heathrow could be transformed into the world’s biggest airport following a controversial decision by British lawmakers. Construction of a third runway — one which would extend over the country’s busiest freeway — was approved in a parliamentary vote that followed decades of debate over how to expand the UK’s capacity for air traffic. Under the proposal, passenger capacity at Heathrow could jump from nearly 80 million passengers per year to 110 million by 2030, making it, by current statistics, the world’s biggest in terms of traffic.…

These are the images that show what will soon be known as the world’s next tallest building rising from the desert. When the 3,280-feet-tall (1,000-meter-tall) Jeddah Tower, in Saudi Arabia, opens in 2020, it will knock Dubai’s iconic Burj Khalifa off its throne as the tallest skyscraper in the world by 236 feet (72 meters). Construction of the landmark is estimated to cost $1.4 billion. When CNN visited the site at the end of 2017, the tower was 252 meters (826 feet) high and already had expansive views of the kingdom. A tall order? The tower will be the crown jewel…

5G is going to be a really big deal. The lightning quick “next generation” wireless technology is expected to power self-driving cars, virtual reality, smart cities and networked robots. But what else can it do? Ericsson (ERIC) has joined up with researchers from King’s College London to dream up futuristic applications for 5G. They’re looking at everything from music to medicine. The team is focused on using the technology to transfer physical skills across networks, creating something they call the “Internet of Skills.” One example: A surgeon with virtual reality equipment and haptic gloves, which sense motion and pressure, could operate on a…

Can Elon Musk finally live up to one of his big promises for Tesla’s Model 3? The electric car maker’s first mass production vehicle has fallen short of ambitious production targets. After missing two previous production goals, Musk has told investors the company will be making 5,000 Model 3s per week by about this time of year. He originally promised Tesla (TSLA) would be building 5,000 Model 3s per week by the end of 2017. The company made 800 in the final week of the year. Then he scaled back the promise, saying Tesla would be making 2,500 a week by the end of the first…

When I first saw one of these hanging fire pits, sometimes called a porch-swing fire-pit, I just knew I had to build one. I had a large level area in my lower back yard that was a perfect spot. My kids are a little older now and like to spend time outside with friends, so I knew it would get plenty of use. It does. A gentleman that goes by the name of Chenango Dave on bowhunters.com provides a basic tutorial, but I wanted to build a structure that was a little larger. I’m sharing the details here for anyone…

The average cost to build a swimming pool is between $25,000-50,000. Ouch! I think my bank account just fainted. I lived in the south where temperatures stayed at 100°F for weeks on end. Pools were a welcomed escape as well as a fun way to spend time with friends. One man decided he was tired of his bare backyard. He wanted a pool but wasn’t about to shovel out big money for one. He decided he could dig his own little pond. It didn’t take a crazy amount of skills either. Just material and ingenuity. See how he did it…

The Sony Xperia XZ3 is currently rumored to arrive in the second half of 2018, and if it does we’d like to see major changes over the Xperia XZ2 it will be replacing. It’s not that the Xperia XZ2 was a bad phone, but when you compare it to what rivals are offering for the same, or in some cases less, money it’s difficult to get excited about Sony’s current flagship handset. Sony has a lot of potential in mobile, with a long history in the market and a lot of great technology at its disposal. In recent years, though, it hasn’t…

They’re the giants of the web, one dominating search, the other king of the online shop.
