    Galaxy S8 Facial Recognition can be Bypassed With a Photo

    Yeah I don't get why anyone would be using the facial recognition when the iris scanner should be just as easy. Honestly I'm surprised samsung even included facial recognition.

    Drone Autonomously Avoiding Obstacles At 30 MPH

    I would normally totally agree with you on the overuse of the word "drone". In this case, the fact that the plane is autonomous makes it one of the few instances that the term drone actually applies.

    China Releases Insane Video Of It Attacking The U.S.

    An update on the article calls out Chinese gaming company QQ/Qzone as a likely producer of the video. The article also mentioned that the island appeared to be Okinawa, not Taiwan.

    Microsoft HoloLens Used To Teach Human Anatomy

    The most interesting thing in this video for me is that it's the first time I've seen the Hololense's field of view depicted in a video. The wide angle shots are still the normal camera view that we see from the presentations, but it's mixed in with point of view shots where the FOV is very...

    Technology Gone Wrong

    I think the whole point of that camera set up is that with a traditional camera body and ultra-telephoto lens you have to either support the entire weight of the lens with your left hand (see the photo in the post above) or use a tripod. With the setup in the article, the weight of the lens is...

    'The Interview' Takes In $31 Million So Far

    I'm curious as to what the studio's cut of various online sales/rentals is compared to how much they make from theatrical showings. As far as I know, when movies show in theaters they start off around a 50/50 split between the distributor and the theater, and that ratio slowly shift towards...

    High Res 360 Degree View of SR-71 'Blackbird' Cockpit

    If you look to the left of the artificial horizon intrument in the panorama picture you can see an "RSO Bailout" switch and "RSO Ejected" indicator. It's a little hard to tell because of the angle, but man, you really can't see for crap out the front of that thing.

    Graphic Shows The Size Of Rosetta's Comet

    On a side not, I just found this cool Flikr album of high res photos of the comet. I think most of these are from the Rosetta and not from the lander, but some very cool pictures: https://www.flickr.com/photos/europeanspaceagency/sets/72157638315605535/

    Graphic Shows The Size Of Rosetta's Comet

    The portion of downtown LA with tall buildings isn't really that large, maybe 9 or 10 blocks wide. The city just kept spreading out instead of up. Southern CA just became pretty a solid metropolitan area from LA all the way down to the border, with just a couple breaks in developed areas like...

    The 20 Coolest Arcades in the World

    I was able to go to Dubai a couple years ago and stopped by the Sega Republic in the Mall of Dubai, the picture they chose for the article really doesn't do it justice. Here's a couple from when I was there: This was the entrance to a motion theater, Star Tours kind of ride. I didn't...
