ادامه مطلبFirst trailer for Christopher Guest's 'Mascots' scores big - CNET
[embedded content] Some might say that sports mascots are already a parody of themselves, but no one can take the ridiculous and make it even funnier than Christopher Guest. The man who tackled the world of dog shows ("Best in Show") and folk singers ("A Mighty Wind"), among other mockumentaries, now takes on team spirit for Netflix in "Mascots."The first trailer for the movie shows Guest getting the old gang back together, that is, one of the funniest and cleverest improv ensemble casts around. Like in "Best in Show," Guest takes you behind the scenes of a mascot competition, with gems like, "I went to the Fluffies five years ago. I got honorable mention. That's like first place, really. It's a weird first place.""Mascots" stars Guest-film reg...

Operation Lico e ("Operation Unico ") nuclear test, May 22, 1970. Getty Images Air pollution, climate change, population growth, massive rainforest loss: The effect humanity has had on the Earth is undeniable. And, in the last 60 or so years -- since the time just after World War II -- this change has accelerated. So much so that a group of scientists have recommended we officially enter the Anthropocene epoch, denoting a "new age of man." We'd be moving out of the 11,700-year Holocene epoch.After seven years of deliberation, the 35-person Working Group voted 30-to-three (two members abstained) to register the change. On Monday, they submitted their recommendation to the Inte ational Geological Congress in ...
ادامه مطلبWhen tech firms judge on skills alone, women land more job interviews - CNET
Can blind job screenings make for more-just hiring practices? Getty Images You can't judge a book by its cover.It's an old cliche, but it's one that even the most cutting-edge tech firms might want to revisit -- at least if they mean what they say about diversifying their workforces.On Thursday, Speak With a Geek, a technology industry recruiter founded in 1999, revealed the eye-opening results of its experiment with blind job auditions.In blind auditions, candidates' identifying details are stripped away and employers judge on qualifications alone -- gender, race or even where applicants went to school aren't part of the hiring calculus. On two different occasions, Speak With a Geek presented the same 5,000...

Technically Incorrect offers a slightly twisted take on the tech that's taken over our lives.She can do two things at once. Allegedly.

ادامه مطلبThe wispy fragments of an exploded binary star - CNET
ESA/Hubble & NASA, Y. Chu When some stars die, they die gloriously, exploding in a dazzling supe ova and leaving behind glowing gas and dust to mark its passing. This is what happened in the case of DEM L71, the remnant of the explosion of a white dwarf, located some 160,000 light-years away in the Large Magellanic Cloud, seen in a new photograph captured by the Hubble Space Telescope.DEM L71's demise was a little complicated. It was what is known as a binary star, whereby two stars are close enough to be locked in a mutual orbit around each other. The very hot white dwarf in these pairings is extremely dense, with mass comparable to that of the sun in a volume comparable to that of Earth. These white ...

ادامه مطلبHacker Jeopardy: What do dicks, dildos and women stripping have to do with cybersecurity? - CNET
Nine contestants playing Hacker Jeopardy in a crowded Las Vegas ballroom room probably didn't expect to become the latest symbol of the tech industry's struggles to include women.But then the master of ceremonies told them one of the categories would be "Dicks." The answers were tongue in cheek, like "Dick Cheney" and "Charles Dickens." But then came a question about an actual dick. Contestants had to give the size of a certain po star's penis to within a half an inch. Women, one wearing skimpy clothes and a strap-on dildo, played roles on stage, such as serving beers. They also took off a piece of clothing each time contestants got a double jeopardy right. To many of the thousand attendees, this was a fun Friday night event for this year's Defcon, a volunteer-run hacker convention that's...

ادامه مطلب20 out-of-this-world moments from the Star Trek anniversary convention - CNET
You might not recognize these people, but they were instrumental in making Star Trek the phenomenon it is today. Bjo and John Trimble were honored on stage at the Star Trek 50th anniversary convention. Let's go back into the '60s. "Star Trek" was in danger of cancellation after its second season. Bjo Trimble started a grassroots letter-writing campaign to organize fan support and call for a third season. It worked. "Star Trek" was renewed and then eventually revived in the late '70s with the start of the movie series. That may never have happened if the show was shut down after only two seasons. That's why Bjo Trimble is known as "the woman who saved Star Trek." Let's block ads! ...

ادامه مطلبu200b'Watchmen' hilariously lambasted in Honest Trailers parody video - CNET
[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.
