You might think of drones as friendly things, like the DJI Phantom you fly yourself or those Amazon drones that could soon be delivering your groceries.Think again when it comes to military drones. An MQ-9 Reaper unmanned aerial vehicle with a 66-foot wingspan can loiter 50,000 feet above the Earth for a day at a time, poised to hit a target with a devastating 3,800 pounds of Hellfire missile payload. But as with all weapons, the awesome firepower of a drone needs to be aimed accurately. "It's less about technology than about strategy, about the way it's deployed," said Gavin Hood, director of drone drama "Eye in the Sky," out now on DVD and Blu-ray. "Drones are new but still a weapon of warfare. It doesn't matter if it's a drone or a sniper rifle, the question is did we kill the right guy...
ادامه مطلب Seven words was all it took. Kevin Bacon responded to a fan's suggestion that he play movie maniac Freddy Krueger onscreen with seven positive words, and fans went as crazy as the Elm Street maniac himself.On Friday, a fan tweeted that Bacon should take on the iconic horror role, and he surprisingly responded. Bacon's got a horror-movie pedigree. He was famously filleted in bed in the original "Friday the 13th" movie in 1980, and he's also starred in "Flatliners," the chilling "Stir of Echoes" and the original "Tremors" film, among others.Fans loved the casting suggestion, and let the world know it. ...
ادامه مطلب [embedded content] It's monsoon season in the US state of Arizona and that brings some gorgeous storms along with it. Hallie Larsen, a park ranger at the Petrified Forest National Park, captured an unusual burst of lightning in a photo. The bolt arcs across the landscape and forms into what looks like a Tyrannosaurus rex head, mouth agape, ready to take a bite out of a mesa.The US Department of the Interior posted the image to its Facebook page on Wednesday, ga ering thousands of reactions. "Have you ever seen lightning make such crazy shapes?" the department asked. Facebook fans saw lots of things besides a dinosaur. Here's a brief list of other responses: the front half of a bear diving downward, a snake, Godzilla, a heart-shaped balloon, a cougar stalking its pre...
ادامه مطلب Mixing and matching. Deciding which combination of components sounds best to you. Buying new pieces of gear to fit into a system is one of the more enjoyable aspects of the AV hobby. Yet until now, no one has really thought to take this concept to tabletop speakers. But Sonic Blocks is looking to change that.The Sonic Blocks ecosystem is a unique entry in the wireless speaker sector, offering users the ability to customize almost every segment of the product -- from the sound, to the number of channels, to the appearance, and finally to the role it will perform in your home.The kits start as a $399 cube, which comprises a "bass" driver, a flat-panel midrange and a soft-dome tweeter. Each panel is removable or replaceable, and the company plans a series of different options including a supe...
ادامه مطلب [embedded content] Pro golfer Bubba Watson has a thing for outrageous golf carts. Watson and his sunglasses-making sponsor Oakley had a tall order to top 2013's thoroughly nutty hovercraft golf cart. They delivered with the debut of the BW-Air, an unholy combination of a jetpack and a golf cart that thumbs its nose at pesky little things like designated paths, water hazards and sand traps.The BW-Air is both an advertising stunt and a way to celebrate golf's retu to the Olympics. The sport is on the menu for the 2016 summer games in Brazil in August. The Olympics last hosted golf way back in 1904, long before jetpacks were a thing. Watson's ride came about through a collaboration with jetpack manufacturer Martin Aircraft Company, which has a lo...

ادامه مطلب The Motorola Moto Z. Lenovo Dressing up your phone with bolt-on accessories may be the new black. Lenovo on Thursday unveiled its Moto Z and Moto Z Force phones, which both boast the ability to accept modular add-ons, letting you magnetically attach things like a souped-up speaker from JBL or a miniature projector. Lenovo is just the latest company to offer modular attachments, underscoring a push by the phone makers to stand out beyond a simple rectangular slab.

ادامه مطلب Disney and propmaker Propshop collaborated on a series of "Force Awakens" replicas made to perfectly match the original on-screen weapons and helmets. Most Stormtrooper helmets look alike. Finn, however, gets a bloody hand print streaked across the face of his helmet. This sets him apart and hints at his rebellious storyline to come. Disney's replica of his FN-2187 Stormtrooper Helmet "is precisely detailed in every way and appears virtually identical to the prop wo by the actor." Let's block ads! ...
ادامه مطلب Microsoft isn't shy about its wild expectations for augmented reality. AR, which differs from virtual reality in that it overlays digital images on top of the real world, is one of the big bets coming from Microsoft via its HoloLens headset. The company believes 80 million AR devices will be sold by 2020, more than the 64.8 million virtual reality headsets projected to sell that year. It's a bold estimate given that most of the interest and investment has been in VR, with Microsoft being one of the few champions of AR, also known as mixed reality. We also discuss how Apple and Samsung fare in the latest American Customer Satisfaction Index, and why Xiaomi signing a patent agreement with Microsoft is a big deal.The 3:59 gives you bite-size news and analysis about the top stories of the...
ادامه مطلب Verizon has dealt with major strikes before, including one in 2011, pictured here, that lasted about two weeks. Najlah Feanny Verizon has made peace with its employees. The New York telecommunications giant has agreed in principle to a four-year contract with employees represented by the Communications Workers of America and Inte ational Brotherhood of Electrical Workers unions, according to the US Labor Department. The dispute, which caused 36,000 union workers to go on strike since April 14, spurred the Labor Department to step in to help find a resolution.

ادامه مطلب Enlarge Image Sony The Last Guardian's bird-dog-creature-thing Trico may be a friendly-looking beast, but the creature also has some formidable powers, we've now lea ed. In the latest issue of Edge, as reported by GamesRadar, Sony revealed that Trico can shoot a "deadly stream of lightning" from its tail. Here's how it works, according to GamesRadar: "Trico's ability is linked to a mirror picked up by the boy which is wielded like a shield. Point the shield in a direction and the creature will fire a devastating bolt of red electricity." Director Fumito Ueda suggested that making use of Trico's fiery tail power will be important throughout The Last Guardian. He also explained why he gave Trico the power ...
ادامه مطلب Verizon has set up a 5G trial in its Basking Ridge, New Jersey, headquarters. Sarah Tew/CNET A majority of the nation has probably never heard of FiOS, Verizon's broadband and video service. With super-fast 5G wireless technology, that could change. Verizon CEO Lowell McAdam entertained the idea that FiOS, which is only available in the Northeast, could go nationwide. But instead of a physical line going into your house, the connection would be via the next-generation 5G technology the company is developing. "I don't know why there would be any limitation on where we can take it," McAdam said at an investor conference on Tuesday. The event was webcast. Verizon going nationwide with an alte ative broadband ...

The deepest region of our planet is, obviously, really hard to get to. The Mariana Trench reaches a maximum depth of nearly 11 kilometres (6.8 miles) that we know of. So there's potentially a lot down there that we haven't discovered or seen yet.This little guy, identified by NOAA scientists as a jellyfish belonging to the Crossota genus, was filmed by high-definition cameras on the remote-operated underwater vehicle Deep Discoverer, equipped to the ship Okeanos Explorer, at a depth of around 3,700 metres (2.3 miles). It's a type of hydromedusae, which typically range from 0.5 to 6 centimetres (0.2 to 2.36 inches) in diameter, but unlike others of its kind, it doesn't have an immobile polyp stage, instead spending its entire life drifting the ocean. According to Scientific Ameri...

ادامه مطلب Enlarge ImageFranky Zapata aboard the Flyboard Air. Video screenshot by Amanda Kooser/CNET We want hoverboards so bad. The promise of sweet, skateboard-style flying machines from the 1989 film "Back to the Future: Part II" continues to haunt our tech dreams. We're not talking about those wheeled poseurs that never leave the ground, but the ones that actually take flight. So far, we've received working hoverboards that require special surfaces (like the Hendo), a DIY hoverboard powered by leaf blowers and the large, slow-ish ArcaBoard. There's also the quadcopter-like contraption invented by a Canadian who set a record for the longest hoverboard flight. The dream is alive, but it has not been fully realized....
ادامه مطلب Enlarge ImageNothing unusual to see here. Video screenshot by Michelle Starr/CNET It's popular to be afraid of the very concept of robots, to cry doom every time a robot does a thing. I am not afraid of robots, but I do find the uncanny valley deeply discomfiting. Robots are simply unable to convincingly mimic humanity, and I see no reason to try.Because when you do, apparently you end up with Hanson Robotics' Sophia. On display at SXSW in Austin, Texas, Sophia is the company's latest attempt to create a human-like robot, and the way her face moves is probably as human-like as a robot has ever gotten.Sophia has 62 facial and neck architectures and a patented silicon skin called Frubber. She has cameras in h...
ادامه مطلب For years, Pluto was just a blue dot in diagrams of the solar system, but very recently a more colorful view of the former planet has come together thanks to one well-traveled robot.It's been over a year since NASA's New Horizons spacecraft first sent back images of Pluto, leading up to its dramatic fly-by in July of 2015. Data is still streaming back to Earth for analysis, adding to the more complete picture of the dwarf planet that New Horizons is painting for us.In this gallery we've highlighted the strangest, most surprising and just plain awesome things we've lea ed about Pluto in the past year. For starters, it's super hazy on Pluto. In this image about 20 haze layers are visible extending over hundreds of kilometers of the dwarf planet. Let's block ads! ...

ادامه مطلب Enlarge ImageButter, meet popco . Biem Ever gazed longingly at a stick of butter and thought, "If only I could instantaneously transform that cold hunk of dairy into a gorgeous mist of warm buttery goodness?" Entrepreneur Doug Foreman, founder of Beanitos snack chips, had that thought and did something about it. Foreman's invention is called "the biēm," but that diacritical mark over the "e" is too much to deal with, so we'll refer to it as "Biem" from here on out. Biem is currently raising funds on Kickstarter. Butter has long been the king of first-world kitchen problems. It's so delicious, but it's cold when you take it out of the fridge and it can be a pain to try to spread around, as it tears up yo...
ادامه مطلب Enlarge ImageAtlas loves its box more than anything. Video screenshot by Amanda Kooser/CNET Google-owned Boston Dynamics released a video last week of its humanoid Atlas robot performing impressive tasks like opening doors, walking through snow-covered woods and picking up boxes. But all the viewers could talk about was how mean the humans were to Atlas. They knocked the robot around with a pole and smacked a box out of its hands. The human-on-robot bullying is actually part of a practical demonstration of how Atlas responds to changes in its environment and then adjusts to complete a task. But YouTube comedy filmmakers Auralnauts saw it as a opportunity to remix the video into the beginning of a horror ...

Florian Küttler/Westend61/Corbis Cities around the world are vying to become the next hotbed of world-changing startups. But what are the magic ingredients required to encourage entrepreneurs to build tech in your town? Apparently they include talent, funding and "crazy people." That's according to representatives of hot startup cities Dublin, Berlin, Amsterdam, Moscow and Paris, who discussed the topic in Barcelona on Tuesday at 4 Years From Now, a startup-focused conference at technology trade show Mobile World Congress. Why would a city or region w...
ادامه مطلب Enlarge ImageNASA astronauts go for a brisk space walk. NASA An unprecedented number of Americans just want to go to space...and maybe even Mars. NASA says more than 18,300 Americans applied to be part of the space agency's 2017 astronaut class during a two-month application window that closed Thursday. That figure nearly triples the number of applicants that applied in 2012 for the last class of eight astronauts, the 2013 class, and smashes the previous record of 8,000 applications in 1978."It's not at all surprising to me that so many Americans from diverse backgrounds want to personally contribute to blazing the trail on our jou ey to Mars," NASA administrator Charlie Bolden, himself a former astronaut,...

ادامه مطلب Amazing how much lightning can strike our planet in a short time #Principia#timelapsehttps://t.co/XijV5E1pI0— Tim Peake (@astro_timpeake) February 9, 2016 We all know what lightning looks like from the ground. It's a splashy flash of jagged light, usually followed by a big boom. That can be startling from the vantage point of the Earth's surface, but lightning is even more magical when seen from space. European Space Agency astronaut Tim Peake tweeted a time-lapse video from the Inte ational Space Station showing lightning raging through the clouds below. It starts with a calm view of the planet's curved horizon. Then the fireworks begin. "Amazing how much lightning can strike our planet in a short time," Peake tweeted Tuesday. The time-lapse covers a span of Earth starting from North A...
