| The first trailer for season 4 of Syfy’s The Magicians teases a magical revolution Posted: 18 Nov 2018 12:43 PM PST  Syfy renewed its urban fantasy show The Magicians for a fourth season in February, and announced that the next season would hit next January. This weekend, the network gave us a look at what to expect with the first full trailer for the upcoming season. The series is based on Lev Grossman's The Magicians trilogy, in which a student named Quentin Coldwater (played by Jason Ralph) discovers that magic is real when he enters a magical school called the Brakebills College for Magical Pedagogy. He begins to learn about magic, and eventually discovers that the setting of his favorite series of fantasy novels, Fillory, is real, and that the magical world is darker and more problematic than he imagined. The series loosely follows the novels,... |
| Steve Carell donned a bald wig to troll President Trump as Jeff Bezos on SNL Posted: 18 Nov 2018 11:43 AM PST  Comedian Steve Carell hosted Saturday Night Live last night, and Amazon's announcement of the final selections for its secondary headquarters in Queens, New York and Crystal City, Virginia was the main focus of one sketch. In it, Carell portrayed Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos to explain the real reason why those two locations made the cut: to troll President Donald Trump. Carell uses the sketch to paint a picture of Bezos using his company and wealth to try and humiliate Trump: "Sure, he attacked me repeatedly on Twitter, but I chose our new locations because they were ideal for growing business, not just to make Donald Trump think about how I'm literally 100 times richer than he is." He goes on to tout another headquarters in Palm Beach,... |

| Smart speakers have no idea how to give us news Posted: 18 Nov 2018 10:00 AM PST  One of the most exciting things about a new kind of device is how little we know about what it's good for. At this point, we basically know what a smartphone can do, but the possibilities for a voice-activated, internet-enabled speaker are still more or less untested. There are lots of ideas, some good and some bad, and we're still figuring out which is which. A new report from the Reuters Institute suggests that the current round of news apps may be one of the bad ideas. The institute's survey finds that users simply aren't enjoying the news briefings, and they're taking a backseat to more concrete functions like information searches and immediate tasks. 46 percent of UK users listened to the briefings regularly, but only one percent... |
| A podcast reopens a grisly and complicated cold case in New Hampshire Posted: 18 Nov 2018 09:04 AM PST  In 1985, a hunter walking through Bear Brook State Park in Allenstown, New Hampshire made a grisly discovery: a 55 gallon drum left deep in the woods, containing two sets of skeletonized remains, which investigators believed had been left in the woods for years. A subsequent investigation yielded little results until 2000, when a second barrel containing another pair of bodies was discovered, just a hundred meters away. Forensics experts determined that the first two bodies were of an adult female and a younger girl, while the second barrel contained the bodies of two young girls. Over the years, authorities released facial reconstructions of all four victims, but to date, none have been identified. DNA showed that three of the victims... |
| Making classic games more approachable should be the norm Posted: 18 Nov 2018 08:00 AM PST  Games age faster than just about any other medium. Even titles that are just a few years old can feel dated as newer, more user-friendly releases come out. This poses a tricky question when it comes to re-releasing classic games: do you keep them in tact, just as they originally were, or update them for modern players? If a couple of recent titles are any indication, the answer is to do both. Let's start with Nintendo. As part of its Switch Online service, the company offers NES games that have been updated slightly with things like online multiplayer. But last month the company took things a step farther with an enhanced version of the original Legend of Zelda. It gave players a whole bunch of money and gear to start with, making it a... |

| High-speed video solves how Florida ants furnish their nests with their enemies’ bodies Posted: 18 Nov 2018 07:00 AM PST  The nests of Florida ants called Formica archboldi are adorned with the carcasses of their enemies — namely, the heads of other species known as trap-jaw ants. How Formica archboldi acquire these gruesome home accessories has perplexed scientists since the 1950s. But now, thanks to high-speed and time lapse videos, we have a better picture of this bizarre behavior. The study has been long in the making for Adrian Smith, the head of the Evolutionary Biology & Behavior Lab at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences and a professor at North Carolina State University. Like these ants, Smith, too, is from Florida — and he was drawn in by the Formica ants fondness for that abattoir ambiance. "We knew that little tidbit of natural... |
