Technically Incorrect offers a slightly twisted take on the tech that's taken over our lives.An intact Falcon 9.

A fire started immediately and the top part of the rocket fell to the ground.Then the fire continued the rage, as so many hopes were temporarily bued.

[embedded content] Hurricanes are scary enough at ground level. View them from space and they look almost unreal, like special effects created in a movie studio. NASA released a time-lapse video on Tuesday showing the Inteational Space Station orbiting over three separate hurricanes. They look both massive and frightening from the station's orbital vantage point.In order, the video shows twin hurricanes Lester and Madeline in the Pacific Ocean and then Gaston in the Atlantic Ocean. Both Lester and Madeline pose a potential threat to the Hawaiian Islands. Gaston is kicking across the Atlantic with wind speeds reaching 100 mph (about 160 kph). Lester is hitting 130 mph (210 kph), according to the National Hurricane Center, and Madeline is reaching 90 mph (150 kph).Astronauts on the space station often bear witness to dramatic Earth weather.

[embedded content] If the US presidential race hasn't felt bizarre enough for you, the latest installment of the YouTube series "Bad Lip Reading" offers up unreal yet hilarious moments from the Democratic National Convention.In the video, published Friday, faux voice-overs of Hillary Clinton, Beie Sanders, President Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, Bill Clinton and more rev up the crowd with statements that were never actually made (we don't think). As with all the clips in the series, the video dubs the words as closely as possible to the speaker's mouth movements. Highlights include Chelsea Clinton giving gal-pal shout-outs, Hillary talking about manservants and Sanders ranting about Batman and Robin. The best quote, however, goes to Michelle Obama, who says, "There's only one person who I believe can drink koala venom and pass the Neverland,this is what you came for,this american life,this,this is what you came for lyrics,this is us,this is the end,this day in history,this old house,this is 40,this girl ...ادامه مطلب

The '80s creature-feature sensibilities of horror-adventure series "Stranger Things" have struck a chord with fans who love everything from kids classics "Goonies" and "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" to terrifying movies like "Alien" and "Poltergeist." So it makes sense the Netflix show about kids searching for their friend lost in another, parallel world would become a perfect muse for fans wanting a retro-looking video game featuring characters from the show. Game artist Midio decided to do just that. On Monday, he tweeted an animated GIF of the the main characters Eleven, Mike, Lucas and Dustin looking for their friend Will where he disappeared into the creepy woods. Options in his game mock-up include hide, run, scream and fight when "your party senses a strange presence in the woods." This isn't the first pixelated-game fan art for "Stranger Things" making the rounds on the inteet. Last month, game designer Jacob Janerka tweeted animated GIFs of h, ...ادامه مطلب

Photographer Adam Pretty isn't scared to go to extreme depths to get his shot. At the Olympics, his cameras are, too.The Getty Images photographer is capturing some of the most memorable moments of the Rio Games' swimming competition by using robotic cameras secured to the floor of the Olympic pool. His images provide an intimate view of swimmers as if watching the competitors while lying on our backs. Among Pretty's pics: A photograph of US swimmer Michael Phelps elongating seconds after torpedoing in the water for his signature event, the 200-meter butterfly. The most-decorated athlete in Olympics history added to his haul on Tuesday, winning the race by four one-hundredths of a second. The closest margin of victory in history.

CCTV News/YouTube screenshot by Chris Matyszczyk/CNET In the annals of ingenuity, this man might have a place.Which doesn't mean it's a good thing.His actions, though, fall into the realm of "who would ever think of doing that?"For here is surveillance footage taken in Changsha City, China and helpfully posted to YouTube. What we see is a man attracted to a bike that is chained to a tree. As the action unfolds, we appreciate that he covets the bike.It's not so easy to steal a bike that's chained to a tree, I imagine. It's made much easier, however, if you happen to have a saw handy.And so it is that the man grabs what appears to be a hacksaw and chops the tree down.

[embedded content] When beloved graphic novel "Watchmen" was reimagined as a movie directed by Zack Snyder, some irate fans, including "Watchmen" comics creator Alan Moore, criticized the movie's depiction of the troubled superheroes. Leave it to Honest Trailers -- a YouTube series from Screen Junkies that features a classic movie-trailer voice-over but with a narrator who makes fun of films -- to lay down some blunt opinions about the 2009 film. In a video posted Tuesday, Honest Trailers points out that the Watchmen may have looked pretty, but the movie tried way too hard to squeeze in every plotline from the comics. "Stare in awe as Snyder's gorgeous shots carry you through an overstuffed plot, where a dense 13-chapter series is crammed into a single movie full of so many story threads it feels like marathoning an entire season of 'Lost' -- at the same time," the Honest Trailers narrator says. Honest Trailers also offers a rather accurate description of the main anti-hero character, Rorschach. "Experience Jackie Earle Haley's spot-on performance as a smelly hobo who hates hands," the narrator says. This brutal review makes even more sense when you realize how often Snyder uses the same cinematic tropes in all of his movies, from "Watchmen" all the way to his most recent DC Comics film "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice." After all, if Synder plans on always using rain, Jesus allegories, sex, graphic violence, destruction of a major city and apocalyptic dream sequences, Honest Trailers will be there to offer cutting commentary.Let's block ads! بخوانید, ...ادامه مطلب

Sling Blake Krikorian, the co-founder of Sling Media and a longtime fixture in Silicon Valley, died Wednesday at age 48.His brother, Jason confirmed Krikorian's sudden passing on Facebook. According to Recode's Kara Swisher, he was "apparently struck by a heart attack while surfing in the San Francisco area." Krikorian had recently served as the corporate vice president for Microsoft's Interactive Entertainment Business, following the acquisition of his company, id8 Group R2 Studios, by Redmond in 2013. But he was best known (to me and many others) as one of the visionary founders of Sling Media, which he co-founded with his brother Jason and Bhupen Shah. That company's Slingbox, first released in 2005, was the among the first handful of products to offer video "placeshifting" technology -- the ability to digitize the signal from your cable box and stream it to a PC or mobile device elsewhere in the home, or around the world. Brian Jaquet, who served as Sling's director of corporate communications, recounted how the Krikorian brothers' desire to watch their beloved San Francisco Giants while they were traveling was the big idea behind the box. "They just wanted to watch the games from the road, and couldn't believe there wasn't a way to do that," said Jaquet. Streaming video is now a ubiquitous service that has upended the entertainment industry as we know it. But Krikorian's hardware-based solution -- which did not require a monthly fee -- was arguably the major trailblazer in the field, offering live TV when and where you wanted it and besting corporate competitors like Sony's similar Location-Free TV. This was, after all, just a year after YouTube had launched, and two years before the first iPhone was released. Netflix was still mailing DVDs, its streaming service and the first Roku box still years away."That product, and the Sling company in general, laid the groundwork for ev, ...ادامه مطلب

[embedded content] When a video starts off with a bald Lex Luthor singing in jail, you know you're in for a treat. From the twisted and talented minds of remixers Craven Moorhaus and Zak Koonce, known as Auralnauts, comes the music video "Batman v Superman - Ding Ding (feat. The Flash)." The video, posted on YouTube Wednesday, shows not only a very annoying Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg), but also the ever-so-angry Batman (Ben Affleck) and the equally upset Superman (Henry Cavill). DC Comics characters Aquaman, played by Jason Momoa, and Wonder Woman, played by Gal Gadot, have cameos. But it's the dancing, bearded version of the Flash, rapping an important message at an astonished Bruce Wayne, who really steals the show. The Flash even gives "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" director Zack Snyder a call, but alas he never picks up his phone. Was it all a dream? Only Batman knows for sure.Let's block ads! بخوانید, ...ادامه مطلب

Moon Express testing at Kennedy Space Center Benjamin Harrison The US govement has approved a private company to land on the moon for the first time.Moon Express disclosed on its website today that it had received the signoff from the Federal Aviation Administration to send an unmanned rover to the lunar surface. If successful, the 2017 mission would allow the company to lay claim to Google's Lunar XPrize, the $20 million bounty the search giant has put up to jumpstart this very sort of private space exploration. (It has already secured $1.25 million in prize money based on its incremental success to date.)For Moon Express, the inaugural mission would be the beginning of its eventual business plan to mine rare elements from the Earth's moon. While that sounds like science fiction, the field already has competition in the form of Planetary Resources, a startup looking to mine asteroids. And the moon may be just the beginning: Elon Musk's SpaceX includes "the ultimate goal of enabling people to live on other planets" in its short mission statement, and the entrepreneur has already made the case for human trips to Mars.Read up on our earlier coverage of the Lunar XPrize, and watch 2015 video of the Moon Express lander being tested below.
