[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.

Enlarge ImageMy MacBook Pro today is maxed out, and I'm worried future models with USB-C will leave me without enough ports. Stephen Shankland/CNET Apple's next MacBook Pro will help move us all into the future of personal computing. But it could also bring some big headaches along the way.I'm confident it'll remain a powerful machine while getting lighter and smaller. But I'm worried that one new technology that enables that slimming down, the versatile USB Type-C port, will also mean the MacBook Pro and other heavy-duty laptops will leave me in the lurch.USB-C is flexible enough to handle just about anything you can plug into a laptop. I'm not sure we're yet ready to have it push aside other useful ports, like HDMI video and 3.5mm audio, the way they've already pushed aside Etheet jacks and SD card slots. And I'm conceed there won't be enough USB-C ports to make up for the loss of the old ports.The,what will your baby look like,what will you do,what will your verse be,what will your son look like,what will you be when you grow up,what will your daughter look like,what will you take away from this experience,what will your legacy be,what will you bring to the team,what will you be in your next life ...ادامه مطلب

Technically Incorrect offers a slightly twisted take on the tech that's taken over our lives.Enlarge ImageWhere on the dashboard is its moral compass? KAREN BLEIER/AFP/GettyImages I think of morality as a feather that shifts in the wind and occasionally brushes your face delightfully as it falls to earth.I'm still perturbed, however, whether technology has a fine grasp of it. Or whether it can.I'm moved by the news that Uber has launched its driverless vehicles in Pittsburgh. It crossed my mind whether these cars have already been programmed whom to kill if they face a moral dilemma.For example, the car is about to hit another car with three people inside. It can swerve out of the way, but then it'll hit three children standing on the sidewalk. How does it make the choice?

Technically Incorrect offers a slightly twisted take on the tech that's taken over our lives.She can do two things at once. Allegedly. Getty Images I have visitors arriving from Norway next week and I'm worried that they're just going to ignore me. They might be educated sorts, but I fear they could be in the grip of Pokemon Go, which seems to have infiltrated Norway's highest echelons. As my evidence, might I present Trine Skei Grande? No, she's not Ariana's mom. She is, however, the leader of the Norwegian Liberal Party and she's just been caught playing Pokemon Go during a parliamentary hearing on Wednesday.As Norway's News In English reports, the hearing was discussing the future of Norway's defense industry. Meanwhile, Grande was on the attack, in search of monsters. Some military bases in Norway may be shut down. Locals who depend on these bases wanted parliamentarians to listen to their conces., ...ادامه مطلب

[embedded content] It's hard not to be impressed by Disney's CGI makeover of Rudyard Kipling's "The Jungle Book." Leave it to Honest Trailers, a YouTube series from Screen Junkies that features a classic movie-trailer voiceover but with a narrator who makes fun of films, to lay down blunt opinions about the 2016 film. In a video posted Tuesday, Honest Trailers points out that Disney seems obsessed in its latest mission to reboot all its animated classics into live-action movies. However, the usual mocking tone from Honest Trailers gives way to actual compliments about the film's stunning visuals. "This movie is way better than it deserved to be," the Honest Trailers narrator says in the video. "They're giving a new twist to an old classic. This one has a plot.

Firaxis and 2K have continued their unveiling of the various playable civilizations in the upcoming Civilization VI, and the latest to get the spotlight is Spain.Led by Philip II, Spain players will want to focus on spreading religion and expanding to other continents. This is true for a number of reasons, including the fact that Spain's special ability, Treasure Fleet, causes trade routes between continents to provide extra yield. Spanish ships can be combined with one another to create fleets sooner than those of other civs, providing a way to ensure those waterbound trade ships stay protected. On the religion side, Spanish units get a combat bonus when facing off against units of another religion. Spanish Inquisitors can use the Remove Heresy ability one more time than those of other civs. Spain's unique unit, the Conquistador, receives a bonus in combat when sharing a hex w, ...ادامه مطلب

[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

Don't like something some stranger is saying about you on Twitter? The social network has a solution.Twitter launched a new feature on Thursday that allows users to limit the notifications they see to only those sent by users they follow. It doesn't prevent strangers from mentioning you; it just insulates users from being exposed to those tweets. The new feature appear to be part of Twitter's attempt to address the chronic abuse and harassment that occurs daily on the social network. However, the move is little more than a band-aid since the offending tweets will still be present on the network; you are just choosing not to see them.Harassing and abusive tweets, while not a new occurrence on the social network, have received increased scrutiny in recent years.
