Description A newly belligerent Chinese govement leaves US President Jack Ryan with only a few desperate options in this continuation of the number one New York Times best-selling Tom Clancy series. Jack Ryan is dealing with an aggressive challenge from the Chinese govement. Pawns are being moved around a global chessboard: an attack on an oil platform in Africa, a terrorist strike on an American destroyer, and a storm-tossed American spy ship that may fall into Chinese hands. It seems that President Zhao is determined to limit Ryan's choices in the upcoming G20 negotiations. But there are hints that there's even more going on behind the sc, ...ادامه مطلب

As part of our coverage of Star Trek's 50th anniversary, I talked with a dozen cast members from across the franchise about everything from Star Trek's inclusive message to how it feels to be a sex symbol to nerds. Jeri Ryan didn't want the role at first. The then up-and-comer was trying to kickstart her career after eaing a theater degree and winning the Miss Illinois beauty pageant (she later competed in Miss America, coming in fourth place). "I wasn't remotely interested in science fiction," Ryan said of her pre-Star Trek days. Sure, she'd watched some episodes of the original series. But she'd also heard the shows had a history of stymieing some actor's careers. Then Ryan read about her character, Seven of Nine, a human kidnapped as a young girl by a cybeetic race known as the Borg. She then spends decades participating in the atrocious "assimilation" of other species before she's snatched back by the Voyager crew.

Technically Incorrect offers a slightly twisted take on the tech that's taken over our lives.An intact Falcon 9. NASA/Getty Images It was just a routine rocket test.However, as the Space X Falcon 9 rocket stood on the launch pad with its Amos-6 satellite, there was an explosion.Video has now emerged of what that explosion looked like.Posted by nonprofit US Launch Report, the video shows a blast of considerable magnitude. 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. As the video of the fire continues, smaller explosions are heard as the fire guts the whole structure. It's all a reminder of how difficult space is and how so much can go wrong so quickly.

[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

[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

Japanese researchers at the University of Tokyo showed off an interesting concept: a case that gives smartphones wheels and enables them to roll around on their own. Forget summoning your car; we want to summon our phones. We're also taking a closer look at SymGym, a machine made for working out while playing video games. It doubles as a game controller, so users end up pulling, pushing and otherwise getting resistance reps while they control a video game.

Videos by Coldplay, fronted by Chris Martin, are among the first that Vevo will add from its agreement with Waer Music. Tabatha Fireman/Getty Images Online music-video company Vevo said Tuesday is has sealed a license with the last of the three major labels, Waer Music Group, to add selections of Waer's official videos into the Vevo library. It already has videos from the two other majors, Universal Music and Sony Music Entertainment, which together own Vevo. (YouTube's parent Google and outside investor Abu Dhabi Media also hold stakes.)For Vevo, Waer Music checks off a big box as it prepares to launch a subscription service. Aiming to set up a service that it hopes is worth paying for, Vevo also revamped its app last month for the second time in less than a year. Vevo's ambition is to build a sleek app catering to music video lovers strongly enough to get them to subscribe Vevo or watch more there, even though they can already do the same on YouTube. Waer was crucial for launching with a complete product. Waer's deal with Vevo marks a flurry of activity for the label's video catalog. Last week, Waer was the first of the majors to license its videos to Vadio, a start-up that plugs in official music-video feeds into apps and websites.Tuesday, Vevo and Waer said select "premium" videos from Waer Music Group artists would be added to Vevo.com and the Vevo mobile app within days. Waer's conglomeration of labels include artists like Bruno Mars, Coldplay, the Grateful Dead, the Black Keys, Ed Sheeran, Wiz Khalifa, Skrillex, Neil Young and Blake Shelton.

[embedded content] On August 1, 1981 -- 35 years ago today -- a channel launched that was to change music history. Music Television, or MTV, kicked off for the first time at 12:01 a.m., Easte Time, with the now legendary words: "Ladies and gentlemen, rock and roll."Then the opening chords accompanied Trevor Ho of The Buggles singing the first line of "Video Killed the Radio Star."It tued out to be prophetic choice for the channel's first music video. By October 1981, record sales of the artists played on MTV but not radio stations were starting to boom. Radio stores were reporting overall sales rising up to 20 percent, while bands such as Adam and the Ants, Men at Work, Judas Priest and Bow Wow Wow started to enjoy popularity in America."Radio is a skeleton," Bob Goldstone, owner of Budget Records in Yakima, Washington was reported as saying. "MTV is the greatest thing that ever happened. Our customers had to go 150 miles each way to Seattle to see touring acts until MTV."In its first year, penetration was relatively small, with MTV airing in just 1.5 million households. But by 1982, the Second British Invasion had begun, seeing a massive surge in popularity of British music in America, thanks to being played on MTV. If radio were not to be "killed" by video, it had to adapt, and adapt it did. Listeners would phone radio stations requesting songs they'd seen played on MTV. The fascination with British music would wane, but MTV's influence would remain firm for years to come, guiding the direction of popular music tastes.Just as technology saw MTV rise to prominence, technology has now seen it take a back seat. Now it's just one channel in a sea of channels, and its ratings in recent years have plummeted as it targets a younger audience of digital natives. "Has MTV done an unbelievable job of being on that [digital] wave? Not so sure," MTV co-founder and former VP Les Garland told Rolling Stone in 2015. "If I were to admi, ...ادامه مطلب
