Here’s one in the Weird Internet category: Nathan Dornacher, a Florida resident, posted a public Facebook gallery today of his car in a fiery blaze. The likely cause? Dornacher thinks it’s his Galaxy Note 7, which was plugged into the charger in the vehicle; Samsung has been recalling these phones because of reports that the batteries can explode. If Dornacher’s correct about the cause of the fire, then, yeah, Samsung, please do recall all of those phones. (via The Next Web)

- Today’s Star Trek 50th Anniversary has already brought us plenty of cool facts already, and here’s a little more: Majel Barrett, who voiced Starfleet’s computer in all of the TV seasons of Star Trek and in several of the films, could end up serving that role yet again on Star Trek: Discovery. Barrett passed away in 2008, but she actually recorded an entire library of phonetic sounds, meaning that her voice could continue to be used as the computer in future generations of Star Trek as needed.
