| Catch up on the Marvel Cinematic Universe in 17 minutes before Avengers: Infinity War Posted: 28 Apr 2018 11:06 AM PDT  Avengers: Infinity War is now out in theaters, the culmination of 10 years of superhero movies. Starting with Iron Man in 2008, the franchise's 19 installments have built on one another to form a massive, cohesive story. That's daunting 31 hours of story that set up this latest movie. Fortunately, YouTube supercut channel Burger Fiction has you covered with a 17 minute video that hits all the high points of the franchise. Burger Fiction has made a number of these sorts of compilations of everything from major Academy Award categories to the evolution of characters and actors over the history of cinema, to big franchise catch-ups. If you wanted to get caught up before the latest installment hit theaters, you would have either had to have... |
| You may soon be able to control your home with a smart wall Posted: 28 Apr 2018 11:00 AM PDT  Forget a smart speaker, soon you may be able to control your smart home with a few taps on your wall. Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University and Disney Research have developed a way to make your walls smart, at a cost of $20 per meter, as spotted by NBC News. Dubbed Wall++, the researchers found that they could use conductive paint and a custom sensor board to create electrodes and turn a standard wall into a gesture-sensing touchpad and an "electromagnetic sensor to detect and track electrical devices and appliances." The system could potentially monitor activity in rooms, automatically adjust light levels when a TV is turned on or off, or send an alert when an appliance goes off. The Wall++ could also track people wearing certain... |
| Blue Origin will launch its first rocket of 2018 tomorrow Posted: 28 Apr 2018 10:00 AM PDT  On Sunday, private space company Blue Origin will launch its third New Shepard rocket, according to founder Jeff Bezos. The launch is scheduled to take place at 9:30AM EDT / 8:30AM CDT, and will be live streamed. This will be the eighth overall flight for the New Shepard, and the second flight for this particular vehicle. The first launched on April 29th, 2015 (three years ago tomorrow), but crashed. Blue Origin then successfully launched and landed its second New Shepard in November that year, and proceeded to reuse the booster for four additional launches through October 2016 before retiring it. The company launched and recovered its third rocket in its only launch of 2017 in December, and that's the vehicle that's being launched... |
| 9 new trailers you should watch this week Posted: 28 Apr 2018 09:00 AM PDT  Last weekend, I finally got around to watching The Bad Batch, Ana Lily Amirpour's second feature — her first being the excellent vampire film A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night. I knew from its previews that The Bad Batch would be weird, but I guess I thought it would be "unique take on a classic genre" weird, like her last film was. Instead, it's just downright bizarre. I'm honestly still not entirely sure what to make of The Bad Batch. I thought maybe it was saying something about body image and men subjugating women — there are cannibals who are really jacked and seem to eat a lot of women, and at least one who makes extremely flattering portraits of people he likes; plus the protagonist keeps trying to restore her missing limbs after... |
| Deals on Amazon Echos, smart speakers, and more smart home devices Posted: 28 Apr 2018 08:00 AM PDT  Last week in this column, we featured a sale on Amazon's smart home hubs, the Echo and Echo Dot, which were on sale for $84.99 and $39.99, respectively. This week you can get both of those devices, as well as the rest of the Echo family of devices, for even less. If you don't mind refurbished, you can get an Echo, Echo Dot, Echo Plus and Echo Show for up to $20 off the usual refurb price. The best deal is probably on the Certified Refurbished Echo Plus for $109.99 (usually $129.99). A new Echo Plus costs $149.99. This deal ends on Monday, May 7th. This weekend is your last chance to pick up an Anker PowerLine Lightning or USB-C cable with The Verge's exclusive discount codes. The PowerLine+ Lightning Cable in the red color is on sale for... |

| Six questions and answers about the post-credits scene in Avengers: Infinity War Posted: 28 Apr 2018 06:00 AM PDT  Ever since Nick Fury first showed up at Tony Stark's house to plug the Avengers Initiative at the end of 2008's Iron Man, post-credit scenes have been a staple of Marvel Cinematic Universe movies. Sometimes they're just a little gag, a bonus for sitting through the credits, like the sequence of the Avengers silently eating shawarma together in a partially wrecked New York City takeout after the catastrophic fight in The Avengers, or the Howard the Duck cameo after Guardians of the Galaxy. Much more often, though, they're specific teases for a Marvel movie that's coming up on the release docket, from the initial visit to Wakanda at the end of Captain America: Civil War to tease events in Black Panther to the various scenes introducing the... |
| Google’s Sergey Brin warns of the threat from AI in today’s ‘technology renaissance’ Posted: 28 Apr 2018 03:09 AM PDT  Google co-founder Sergey Brin has warned that the current boom in artificial intelligence has created a "technology renaissance" that contains many potential threats. Writing in the company's annual Founders' Letter, published Friday, the Alphabet president struck a note of caution. "The new spring in artificial intelligence is the most significant development in computing in my lifetime," writes Brin. "Every month, there are stunning new applications and transformative new techniques." But, he adds, "such powerful tools also bring with them new questions and responsibilities." Brin starts his letter by quoting the opening lines of Charles Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities — "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times." He notes... |
