| Watch the latest trailer for Solo: A Star Wars Story Posted: 08 Apr 2018 05:47 PM PDT  Disney has released a new trailer for its upcoming Solo: A Star Wars Story, giving us our best look yet at the next standalone installment of the Star Wars franchise. The trailer gives us our best look at what the film is about. The trailer opens with Qi'Ra (played by Game of Thrones' Emilia Clarke) asking Han Solo (Alden Ehrenreich) if he's after revenge, money, or something else. Before long, Han is recruited for a job: telling Woody Harrelson's Tobias Beckett, that he's a driver and that he's waited a long time for "a shot like this." The film certainly has the feel of a heist story: we see Han, Qi'Ra and Tobias recruit a very suave Lando Calrissian ("Everything you've heard about me is true."), while Beckett tells Han that once he... |
| Apple will reportedly announce a red iPhone 8 tomorrow Posted: 08 Apr 2018 12:22 PM PDT  Apple will reportedly introduce a new color to its iPhone 8 and 8 Plus lineup tomorrow: red. The new color is part of the company's partnership with (RED), an advocacy group dedicated to combating HIV/AIDS in Africa. MacRumors reports that it has viewed a memo from Virgin Mobile, which says that Apple will announce the phone option on Monday, April 9th. The memo reportedly notes that the phone will be available for preorder, but that it doesn't specify if this will include an iPhone X edition. Product Red was founded in 2006 by U2 frontman Bono and ONE Campaign activist Bobby Shriver, and licenses its name to other private companies to highlight efforts to combat HIV/AIDS in eight African countries: Ghana, Kenya, Lesotho, Rwanda, South... |
| Chinese ride share company Didi Chuxing is preparing to launch in Mexico Posted: 08 Apr 2018 12:15 PM PDT  In December, word broke that Chinese ride share service Didi Chuxing would be launching its first overseas expansion in Mexico. According to Reuters (via Engadget), the company has launched a website to recruit drivers and passengers in the city of Toluca, and the app will reportedly go live later this month. A Didi Chuxing spokesperson wouldn't comment to Reuters on the timeline for the app's launch, but said that its operations will begin "very soon." The company has also released a pair of advertisements touting the service in Toluca, which invite drivers to apply for the service. To help entice drivers to sign up, Didi says it won't take a service charge through June 17th, 2018. After that point, the company will charge a 20 percent... |
| A broken submarine cable knocked a country off the internet for two days Posted: 08 Apr 2018 12:00 PM PDT  On March 30, the ACE Submarine cable cut out, dropping connectivity for much of West Africa. According to reports, the breach came off the coast of Mauritania, resulting in significant connectivity drops for at least ten neighboring countries. Mauritania itself was offline for nearly 48 hours before connectivity was partially restored. Other countries had enough terrestrial cable and satellite connections to route around the downed cable, but they still saw significant disruptions in internet access for most of the weekend. Outages like this rarely make the headlines, but it's a good reminder of exactly how fragile much of the internet's infrastructure still is — particularly in places like West Africa. When a major cable... |
| Watch NASA dummies crash test flying and falling vehicles Posted: 08 Apr 2018 11:00 AM PDT  This week, NASA's Langley Research Center published a video of the crash-test-dummies whose horrifying accidents make air and space travel safer for their human counterparts. The dummies keep humans safer by giving scientists key data about whether bodies bend or break under different crash conditions. So they're outfitted with sensors and instruments, and can vary in size from 105 to 220 pounds to simulate a range adult human bodies. Then, the dummies are strapped into the seats of both aircraft and spacecraft and dropped. In March 2017, for example, 10 dummies and a whole lot of luggage from an unclaimed baggage center in Alabama (really) were loaded into an airplane's fuselage, which was dropped 14 feet onto hard dirt. The bags... |
| Ruark Audio’s MRx is a multiroom speaker for design lovers Posted: 08 Apr 2018 10:00 AM PDT  British audio company Ruark Audio has just introduced its first connected wireless speaker called the MRx. Compatible with the company's R2 Mk3 "all in one" music system and its R7 Mk3 radiogram, the MRx features Ruark's trademark modern design, and also ushers in the company's new "Link" app, which it alluded to last summer. The MRx comes with capabilities and specs seen in other Ruark products, and builds on them. It's got a stereo pair of 75mm full-range neodymium drivers that are newly redesigned and powered by a high-fidelity dual channel amplifier. On the back is a four-way selector switch that allows for the MRx to be used as a solo device or part of a stereo pair. Regarding connectivity, it has an integrated Bluetooth receiver... |
| Slow Burn is an engrossing podcast that brings the Watergate scandal to life Posted: 08 Apr 2018 09:00 AM PDT  There are a ton of podcasts out there, but finding the right one can be difficult. In our new column Pod Hunters, we cover what we've been listening to that we can't stop thinking about. Since President Donald Trump entered the White House, he and his administration have often been compared to Richard Nixon, particularly by the wide range of pundits, activists and Twitter users who have called for him to resign or who made the case for his impeachment. Nixon famously resigned as president in 1974 — the only president to do so in American history — after being connected to a break-in at the Democratic National Headquarters at the Watergate office complex in Washington, DC. While most people know how the story ends, fewer are familiar with... |
| The director of Netflix’s zombie film Les Affames says people are scarier than zombies Posted: 08 Apr 2018 07:00 AM PDT  The French-language movie Les Affames ("The Ravenous") isn't out to reinvent the zombie movie. Canadian writer-director Robin Aubert is a fan of the genre, and he knows the tropes: the growing hordes of shambling monsters, the thrown-together crew of mismatched survivors, the sudden attacks that winnow them down one by one, the understanding that even a single bite can doom an otherwise healthy person. Aubert embraces all the usual business. And he clearly expects viewers know how these stories go too, because he skips the usual buildup and drops them right into the middle of the action. Les Affames, an indie movie now streaming on Netflix, launches with the zombie apocalypse well under way, and the protagonists well prepped on how to... |
| Mac DeMarco made a music video for the cat who lives behind his garage Posted: 08 Apr 2018 06:00 AM PDT  Mac DeMarco's most recent album is called This Old Dog, but his most recent video stars a cat. A cat named Pickles, probably. As Mac notes in the song description, "Pickles lives behind the garage." We're not given much more biographical information about Pickles the cat beyond that, but maybe Pickles is not the kind of cat who makes these things readily apparent. He's just a cat who wants to listen to some groovy keyboard funk created by the guy who lives in the house next to his garage. In the video, Pickles sits on a ledge eating what is probably cat food but could also pass for raw ground beef. Then he licks his lips and stalks away. It's hard to say, as an outside observer, what Pickles actually thinks about DeMarco's song for... |
