<\/h2>\nGorilla Glass Victus is the latest in glass innovation<\/a> from the people at Corning, who have been working on delivering better glass for smartphones since the original iPhone.<\/p>\n While Gorilla Glass is up to number 6 in its line, Corning has announced new glass and new branding, calling it Victus. Sure, fine.<\/p>\n But what’s interesting here is that Corning is saying the new Gorilla Glass Victus now brings two-meter drop protection (over six feet), and onto hard\/rough surfaces, while doubling the scratch resistance over Gorilla Glass 6.<\/p>\n Glass nerds time:<\/strong><\/p>\n My aluminosilicate enthusiast colleagues had some time on a call with Corning, and experienced at least slight disappointment that the next step towards unbreakable glass didn’t come from some breakthrough nanomaterial or from wisdom found in ancient texts.<\/p>\n 2.

Good inside glimpse behind the scenes at Facebook<\/a>, as employees warn the company is “hurting people at scale.” According to this, Facebook employees get a little gift of $250 worth of ad credits. But employee credits may not be used for ads “related to politics or issues of national importance”, so issues relating to “civil and social rights,” “environmental politics,” “health,” are off-limits (BuzzFeed News).<\/p>\n 7.
