| These eight short story collections would make excellent sci-fi anthology shows Posted: 26 May 2019 12:00 PM PDT  Since the beginning of the modern science fiction genre, authors have built careers on writing short stories, for magazines and anthologies — and more recently — on websites. While those works don't quite get the same attention as a novel, collections of an author's short fiction has long been a good way to catch up on their published repertoire. Recently, there's been more attention on shorter fiction thanks to projects such as Netflix's Love, Death + Robots, and a new anthology series based on horror author Nathan Ballingrud's fantastic collection, North American Lake Monsters. What's more, a number of anthology shows have popped up over the years on a variety of streaming services. Netflix and Channel Four produced Black Mirror; CBS... |

| Samsung releases some clever Disney and Pixar wallpapers for the Galaxy S10 Posted: 26 May 2019 08:41 AM PDT  One of the ways that Samsung moved away from having a notch on its Galaxy S10 family of smartphones was to put the front-facing camera and sensors in the display, leaving a small cutout in the corner of the screen. Users have created some clever wallpapers to hide the hole, and Samsung recently partnered with Disney to release a series of its own custom wallpapers that camouflage the camera Hiding the hole is pretty easy with the right wallpaper: it just needs to be surrounded by something that's black, or call attention to it with something is actually a hole, or at least a small, round dot. Samsung partnered with Disney for its own series of wallpapers featuring characters from Frozen, Zootopia, and The Incredibles. Most of Samsung's o... |
| There’s now a museum dedicated to Robert Moog and synthesis called the Moogseum Posted: 26 May 2019 08:00 AM PDT  Robert Moog changed the landscape of music forever when he launched the first commercial synthesizer in the '60s. Since then, the Moog name has become synonymous with synthesis and iconic pieces of hardware like the Minimoog. Now, the Bob Moog Foundation has opened the Moogseum — a museum dedicated to Moog's work and other important music devices — in Asheville, North Carolina. The museum had its soft opening this week but will officially celebrate a grand opening on August 15th. The 1,400 square foot space features an immersive visualization dome that lets guests "step inside a circuit board" to see how electricity becomes sound, and a recreation of Bob Moog's workbench. There are also rare theremins on display, prototype synth modules... |
| In BirdGut, you try to escape a dystopian society inside a bird’s stomach Posted: 26 May 2019 07:00 AM PDT  It can be difficult to find time to finish a video game, especially if you only have a few hours a week to play. In our biweekly column Short Play we suggest video games that can be started and finished in a weekend. I've written about a number of weird games for Short Play, but BirdGut might have the strangest premise so far. It's about a disabled bee who is kicked out of their hive after being born. The bee manages to make its way through the world, despite not being able to fly, but eventually it's eaten by a bird. It turns out that the bird isn't eating insects for sustenance, but rather to brainwash them into mindless slaves who help operate and maintain the machinery inside the bird that keeps it alive. Due to the bee's bent-over... |
| Posted: 26 May 2019 06:00 AM PDT  Apple's abacus emoji is wrong. Or, technically not "wrong" per se, in that you can probably still use it do math if you actually know how to use an abacus (I do not). But still, that ever useful emoji — added in the Unicode 11.0 update to the emoji standards as part of iOS 12 — is apparently incorrect on Apple devices when compared to nearly any abacus used across the whole of human civilization. The error was first spotted by Twitter user @sophophobic, who noticed that Apple's abacus configuration appeared to be one that was never used at any point in history.
