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.

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 I'm seated in a giant ballroom where vast rows of chairs face seven glowing supercomputers. Each liquid-cooled rack of servers is lit with a different color. The crowd of a couple hundred people cheers the computers on toward victory.

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.

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 periodic table of elements is about to welcome four new elements by name to the periodic table. The names have been reviewed by the Inte ational Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry, and are expected to be approved later this year by the IUPAC council.So say hello to Nihonium, or Nh, for the element with atomic number 113. The name was proposed by the element's discoverers in Japan, who wanted to make a direct connection to the country where it was discovered. Nihon is one of two ways to say "Japan" in Japanese, and means "land of the rising sun." The team "hopes that pride and faith in science will displace the lost trust of those who suffered from the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster," according to a statement from the IUPAC.Moscovium, or Mc, recognizes the work of the Joint Institute...

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.

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.

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.

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...
