As Realme is targeting global market, we aspire to  inject fresh momentum into the global smartphone industry,” Li said in a statement. According to The Economic Times, Li wrote a letter to the Realme employees to introduce the new brand. “Before leaving Oppo officially, I've been in charge of OPPO's global overseas market during these past few years. The overwhelming response and trust from the young generation is something that has encouraged me to launch the new brand Realme,” Li wrote in the letter.

First ever drone-delivered kidney is no worse for wear

Drone delivery really only seems practical for two things: take-out and organ transplants. Both are relatively light and also extremely time sensitive. Well, experiments in flying a kidney around Baltimore in a refrigerated box have yielded positive results — which also seems promising for getting your pad thai to you in good kit. The test flights were conducted by researchers at the University of Maryland there, led by surgeon Joseph Scalea. He has been frustrated in the past with the inflexibility of air delivery systems, and felt that drones represent an obvious solution to the last-mile problem.

My product launch wishlist for Instagram, Twitter, Uber and more

‘Twas the night before Xmas, and all through the house, not a feature was stirring from the designer’s mouse . . . Not Twitter! Not Uber, Not Apple or Pinterest! On Facebook! On Snapchat!

Pinterest briefly had this feature (and should bring it back) but it’d work better on Insta. Web DMs  – Instagram’s messaging feature has become the defacto place for sharing memes and trash talk about people’s photo
