Carl Pei thinks there’s something wrong with the smartphone industry. Like many of us, Pei began to feel that new phones just aren’t as exceptional as devices five or 10 years ago.
He thinks big players have the same ideas in smartphone design. (Something true for at least ten years.) And that’s where his new company, Nothing, comes on the scene. Pei wants to return a bit of originality to mobile technology design. “Maybe we could muffle our brains a little and strengthen our intuition,” Pei said.

The device should work, but it will not have full support.
Me? Well, I live in the UK. Forgive me.

Juul successfully persuaded the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia to postpone the Food and Drug Administration’s ban on its products. The agency recently banned Juul from selling and distributing his e-cigarette pens and capsules in the US after a comprehensive two-year review.
