RS&QUOT

[captaincranky]

It's baaaa-ack:

Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S5 was long expected to feature an eye scanner for improved security. That feature, however, appears to have been shelved in exchange for a fingerprint scanner – one that could encompass the entire screen according to at...

I could almost swear that Shawn was the only writer this happens to. Is it possible his machine has corrupted fonts or a bad keyboard?

(If you look at my title , the site software turned the intended title, back into the quotation mark the characters stand for. You can only see the title I've actually typed, "r-s-&-q-u-o-t, when you go into "edit", or on the browser tab).

The Disclaimer: You should probably ignore the foregoing. I truly have no idea what I'm talking about.

Thanks for the report. FYI, this past weekend we upgraded our news editor backend and it looks like it's parsing some characters differently which we didn't catch at all. Should be fixed soon.

 

[Julio Franco]
