| Walmart will begin selling an exclusive monthly DC comic anthology in July Posted: 23 Jun 2018 12:00 PM PDT  DC will begin releasing an exclusive, monthly anthology comic series in Walmarts across the United States next month. The comics will be more than your typical single-issue comic: these will be 100-page books, featuring a mix of new and reprinted material, priced at $4.99 an issue. According to DC Comics, the new material will be written by the likes of Tom King, Dan Jurgens, Brian Michael Bendis, Andy Kubert, and others, while each book will also include stories from the New 52 comics, Rebirth, and the New Age of DC Heroes. The series will include four titles: Superman Giant, Justice League of America Giant, Batman Giant, and Teen Titans Giant. This is the latest in a long line of Giant-style comics from DC: its 80-Page Giant line came... |
| Teardown shows inner workings of the Vivo Nex’s pop-up selfie camera Posted: 23 Jun 2018 11:00 AM PDT  Chinese smartphone makers have gone down a clever new path to get rid of the display notch and create a truly edge-to-edge screen: they're now building pop-up cameras into their phones. We've seen both Oppo and Vivo do it in the span of a few weeks, and the latter's Nex smartphone has already been put through the teardown process at MyFixGuide. In the shots, you can see all the mechanics and components that make the slide-up motion possible on the selfie camera. There's a spring in there, but it's actually the silver spiral stepper to the right that pushes the camera up. It all seems fairly well put together, but moving parts are moving parts and thus more prone to failure. The teardown also shows the vibration motor... |
| How Jurassic Park led to the modernization of dinosaur paleontology Posted: 23 Jun 2018 10:00 AM PDT  Paleontologist Steve Brusatte loves Jurassic Park. Without it, he jokes, he wouldn't even have a job. So he's not going to criticize all the inaccuracies in the Hollywood franchise. But he's also studied dinosaurs his whole life (real ones, with feathers), so he loves talking about giant creatures that ruled over the Earth millions of years ago. In his new book The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs: A New History of a Lost World, Brusatte, a professor at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland, charts the origins of dinosaurs from the beginning of the Triassic period all the way to their abrupt disappearance about 66 million years ago. He also takes a close look at the evolution of the field of paleontology, and how it has diversified and... |
| 7 new trailers you should watch this week Posted: 23 Jun 2018 09:00 AM PDT  I know watching movies on plane screens is supposed to be a cinematic sin, but there's also something great about using a flight to catch movies you might have otherwise skipped over when given a wider library to pick from on land. The tough part is picking out something that'll play well on the smaller screen. Earlier this year, I saw Battle of the Sexes and Murder on the Orient Express while on flights for work. Even my desperate need for entertainment couldn't save Orient Express, which, I don't know, I guess I shouldn't have expected more of. But Battle of the Sexes was so relentlessly fun and big that it locked me in, fuzzy screen and all. So what makes a movie right for planes? I'm not sure; it's probably a little different for... |
| Weekend deals on Razer laptops, an LG soundbar, and more Posted: 23 Jun 2018 08:00 AM PDT  The best time to buy gadgets during the summer is usually around July 4th or Amazon Prime Day, but that doesn't mean there aren't a few sales worth checking out in the meantime. Razer is offering special weekend sale on a few of its Razer Blade gaming-focused laptops. While every model is receiving some kind of discount, the best deals are for the Razer Blade Stealth 13 and the Razer Blade Pro 17. They might look similar, but keep in mind that these are two very different models. The Blade Stealth 13 is a capable laptop with tremendous battery life and a high-resolution display, and it's been marked down $200 this weekend. The Razer Blade Pro 17 is $500 off this weekend. It's bigger and comes with a couple of other freebies like a Razer... |
| At this rodeo, robots enter downed planes and explore fake radioactive disasters Posted: 23 Jun 2018 07:00 AM PDT  Last week in the New Mexico desert, military and civilian bomb squads faced off at the 12th annual Robot Rodeo, which is a week of intense training organized by Sandia National Laboratories. To test their skills, bomb squads steered their bots to enter downed planes, explore faux-radioactive disaster sites, and climb flights of stairs. "Everybody else is running away from the bomb, and these guys are going in," says Jake Deuel, robotics manager at Sandia and coordinator of the rodeo. His goal is for the event to help bomb squads tackle real-world situations and learn what their robots can and cannot do. "We train these guys to come home safe," he says. Some of the crafted scenarios are designed to test the robot operators' skills and... |
| ZTE claims it can’t fix its broken urinal because of the US export ban Posted: 23 Jun 2018 06:00 AM PDT  The US Department of Commerce in April banned exports to ZTE, which has left the company struggling to continue operations — apparently down to some basic office maintenance levels. According to a report by Southern China Morning Post, the company is claiming that it cannot fix a broken urinal at its Shenzhen office because it is made by American Standard, a New Jersey-based manufacturer. A photo shared on the Chinese microblogging site Weibo shows a note above the offending urinal, saying that it cannot be fixed without ordering parts from the US, which would violate sanctions. "Our company is now subject to the export ban posed by the US government. Since this bathroom appliance is a product of American Standard, we... |
