Update, 8/20/15, 3:53PM ET: Apparently, the team running the Project Ara Twitter feed are a bunch of jokesters. A day after tweeting that a failed drop test was the reason behind the switch from electropermanent magnets, the Ara team is pulling back and claiming that was just a "joke." The team now says that the magnets worked fine, but it has a new solution that'll be even better. At least we know now not to take anything the Ara team tweets too seriously. The team also tweeted that a better battery and camera are on the way -- hopefully they weren't joking about that.

So it's actually good news!
