| Westworld’s Man in Black is beyond saving Posted: 17 Jun 2018 07:00 PM PDT  The last few episodes of Westworld have been some of the best — and most revelatory — of the entire season. The heartbreaking origin of the Ghost Nation tribe was revealed last week, and in the episode before that, audiences learned new insights about the creation of Bernard Lowe (Jeffrey Wright), and how the virtual simulation called "The Cradle" played a major role. It feels as if the show is pulling its disparate story threads together, all in anticipation of the coming season finale. In the latest episode, "Vanishing Point," themes of free will and choice bind together four very different storylines. There's the normally passive Bernard, who finally stands up and embraces his own agency by deleting the Dr. Ford (Anthony Hopkins)... |
| Facebook will stop showing minors ads for gun accessories Posted: 17 Jun 2018 02:17 PM PDT  Facebook will soon prevent minors from viewing ads for gun accessories such as holsters, or magazines. The move comes amidst renewed focus on gun violence in the United States following school shootings in Santa Fe, Texas, Parkland, Florida, and others. According to a Facebook spokesperson, the company already bans ads for guns and modifications, but sellers can post ads for accessories such as gun-mounted flashlights, scopes, holsters, gun cases, gun paint, or slings. The company isn't going to prohibit those ads, but it will require sellers to "restrict their audiences to at least 18 years of age or over." The company's listed adverting policies don't currently list the age restriction — that will change when the policy will take... |
| Does the Rubik’s Cube need a Bluetooth connection? Posted: 17 Jun 2018 12:00 PM PDT  The Rubik's Cube was invented back in 1974, and in that time, there have been many variants on the classic puzzle, with new shapes, sizes, dimensions, and basically every other twist (pun intended) that you could think of on the classic puzzle. Of course, that's never stopped Kickstarter before, which has once again risen to the challenge of making a smart device out of something that probably didn't need to be a smart device with the GoCube, a Rubik's Cube with Bluetooth. And while the GoCube might not be necessary, here's what to like about the idea. The connected app can tell exactly how the cube is configured at any given point, so it can help you learn how to unscramble the cube on your own. And once you've learned the finer points... |
| Kymco’s new electric scooters could be the sign of a coming boom Posted: 17 Jun 2018 11:00 AM PDT  One of the most exciting product announcements to happen at the Consumer Electronics show over the past few years was the Gogoro electric scooter. It's not just that it was slick-looking, or fast, or that the company was promising a clever battery swap station model to help ease the problem of charging. On a broader level, much like Tesla's electric cars, the Gogoro scooter felt like the best representation of an idea that was already kicking around but hadn't been fully executed. It felt like the first smart, sharp, two-wheeled electric vehicle. Gogoro's scooter came at a time before the world's biggest automakers started making multibillion dollar promises about electrifying their fleets. And even then it felt like a sign. If Tesla... |

| Fortnite’s celebrity tournament felt like a trial run for Epic’s grand e-sports ambitions Posted: 17 Jun 2018 09:00 AM PDT  Under the scorching California sun last Tuesday, 50 celebrities and 50 professional video game players gathered near the north end of a soccer stadium in Los Angeles to play Fortnite for $3 million in prize money. It was the very first officially sanctioned tournament for developer Epic Games' mega-hit battle royale game, organized by the company itself and geared toward raising money for charity. And it was a monumental success by most metrics: It handily eclipsed the first official day of the game industry's E3 expo, which was happening just two miles north at the city's convention center, and drew more than 1.1 million viewers live on Twitch. The line to get in sprawled across every available stretch of sidewalk around the Banc of... |
| Magic creeps into the Cold War in podcast The Witch Who Came in From the Cold Posted: 17 Jun 2018 08:00 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. During the 1970s, the Cold War was in full swing and Eastern Europe was a hotbed of agents and spies of both the Soviet Union and the United States. During this time, Czechoslovakia was a quiet battleground as both sides attempted to gain intelligence from one another. But in Serial Box's podcast series The Witch Who Came in From the Cold, there's another war brewing: one between ancient magical factions, Ice and The Flame, each of which have battled for millennia over control of the world. Prague in particular is home to several intersecting Ley lines... |
| My Tamagotchi is everything that went wrong with our future Posted: 17 Jun 2018 07:00 AM PDT  A few weeks ago, my troll boyfriend found a Tamagotchi in a GameStop, and he decided on the spur of the moment to get it for me. I was a kid when the Tamagotchi craze hit, and I was always envious of my friends and cousins who got to hand-rear their little digital babies. (My parents wouldn't let me have one.) Part of me always wondered what I missed in my childhood. And now I know. Oh, I know. I missed nothing. A Tamagotchi is a beep encased in a plastic shell. It exists to haunt you with ghostly notifications that signify nothing. Press button, my Tamagotchi screams at me from morning to night. Press button or I will die. The Tamagotchi, I have realized, is everything that is wrong with our smartphone era. Is this what went wrong... |
| How to find your home on Pangea Posted: 17 Jun 2018 06:00 AM PDT  Before there were the continents, there was Pangea. Two hundred million years ago, the enormous land mass began to break apart and we've been separated ever since — but a map tool can help you find where a given town would have been on the supercontinent. This ancient earth tool is a rotating view of the world at various points in time. You can select the time period ("what did the Earth look like 750 million years ago?") or search by event, such as "first multicellular life" or "first insects." To figure out where you would have lived on Pangea, input your address and select "Pangea supercontinent" from the options on the far right. My hometown in California, as it turns out, was still a coast. But my current location in New York was... |
