On Thursday, a US Navy ship in the Persian Gulf reportedly used a new, anti-drone system to take down an Iranian drone that came within a thousand yards, according to Military.com.

In a statement, the Department of Defense confirmed that the USS Boxer was moving through the Strait of Hormuz when it was approached by a fixed-wing drone which "closed within a threatening range," which prompted the ship's crew to take "defensive action." Iran has denied the allegation.

According to C4ISRNET, the Marines aboard the USS Boxer used a new system called a MRZR LMADIS — a Light Marine Air Defense Integrated System. The system is mounted on a Polaris MRZR vehicle, which has appeared in DoD photos of the ship. USNI News says that it's the "first...

Catch up on all the trailers from this year’s Comic-Con

San Diego Comic-Con wraps up today, and with it came a huge number of trailers for films and shows coming out in the next year. While Marvel undoubtably stole the show with its big Hall H announcements, the event's trailers belonged almost entirely to the world of television.

There were some notable absences this year: Warner Bros. opted to skip the show, meaning we didn't get looks at projects like the upcoming Wonder Woman 1984 or Dune, and while Marvel did show off some footage from Black Widow, that didn't make its way online (We'll probably see something at its upcoming D23 Expo.) There were some other conspicuous absences: CBS didn't show off a trailer for the third season of Star Trek: Discovery, for example.

But what we did get...

This limited edition all-black speaker displays animated lyrics

Japanese company COTODAMA has teamed up with luxury brand Saint Laurent for a limited edition, all-black version of its Lyric Speaker Canvas that is only available to buy in the fashion house's Rive Droite stores. COTODAMA makes two kinds of lyric speakers, both of which display a song's lyrics while music is playing.

COTODAMA's Lyric Speaker Canvas first came out last year and the original has a silver and black design. The silver back board is the actual speaker, while the black front board is the screen that displays song lyrics. It's one unit, but looks like two pieces, and is meant to evoke the idea of vinyl record jackets leaned up against your wall. The size is a bit bigger than an actual record sleeve, but not by much. The Lyric...

A Lego designer talks about designing spaceships and collaborating with NASA

In 1978, Lego launched the first sets in its line of space toys, almost a decade after the Apollo 11 mission landed on the Moon for the first time. Since then, the company has consistently released sets featuring spaceships, astronauts and lunar bases, including detailed sets that draw on the hardware from real space missions.

The Verge spoke with Lego designer Simon Kent recently, who explained that he and his colleagues recently visited with NASA engineers and personnel to compare their toys against the real spaceships, rovers, and space stations currently in operation today. "Across the company, space is such a big theme, that we can tap into it in many different ways, whether its a plaything like Lego City, or a display model that...

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.

With the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission taking place this weekend, there has been plenty of retrospectives and examinations on the impact of the space race and the lunar missions. In addition to a flood of books and documentaries, there are a handful of podcasts as well. One of those new podcasts is The Washington Post's Moonrise, hosted by Lillian Cunningham.

Cunningham is the creator of a couple of other excellent podcasts — Constitutional, about the stories behind the US Constitution, and Presid`ential, in which she spent each episode...

TBS’ Snowpiercer trailer teases a return to what made the original film great

Posted: 21 Jul 2019 08:06 AM PDT

WarnerMedia

It's clear from the first trailer for Snowpiercer that TBS wants more people to pay witness to the world Korean director Bong Joon-Ho's created with his acclaimed 2014 film of the same name.

Based on a French graphic novel, Bong's original film is set in a post-apocalyptic future in which an attempt at changing the Earth's climate went disastrously wrong, leaving the planet covered in a global ice age, and with the last remnants of humanity living on a massive train. TBS' Snowpiercer will pick up seven years after the events of the original film. Not much has changed. The titular train driving the remaining members of Earth in a post-apocalyptic world is still operating under some warped socio-economic structures. Ed Harris' de facto...

Watch Simon Stålenhag’s art come to life in this fantastic fan-animated film

Three futuristic towers against a rainy sky Art: Simon Stålenhag

Simon Stålenhag has earned a considerable following for his fantastic retro-futuristic artwork in recent years, One fan has taken it upon themselves to animate his world in a brief fan film, bringing it to life in an eerie short video.

The video comes from an artist named Ilya Plotnikov, which puts some motion to the art from Stålenhag's narrative art book The Electric State, which he Kickstarted in 2017, and set to music that Stålenhag composed and released online. The film doesn't exactly convey the entire story, but it does perfectly capture the vibe of the world in the book.

The story is set in an alternate 1990s, following a runaway teenager and her toy robot as they embark on a road trip across a post-apocalyptic United States....

Updated 3:20PM ET, July 21st: Clarified a point below as to not mislead people into accidentally recording over their home movies.

There are countless ways to remind your family members that you love them. Preserving your home movies, entombed in rapidly-decaying VHS tapes, by converting them into digital files is a thoughtful (and often tear-jerking) way to do that. It's one of those gifts that's appropriate at any time in the year, whether you're celebrating Father's or Mother's Day, a birthday, or any other occasion.

If you want to digitize your home movies, you have a few options to choose from. If you don't have time to do it yourself, or if you need a specialist who can handle brittle, decades-old reel-to-reel tapes, the easiest...

AMC's NOS4A2, based on the 2013 horror novel by Joe Hill will be returning for a second, 10-episode season, as announced at the show's San Diego Comic-Con panel.

While AMC didn't announced a release date (the first season has yet to even finish airing), the second season will continue to adapt the rest of Hill's novel whenever it does hit screens, presumably sometime next year.

"I am so excited for the opportunity to bring the rest of Joe Hill's amazing novel to television. Joe's imagination is unparalleled," said showrunner and executive producer Jami O'Brien. "I love the characters and the world, and our colleagues at AMC have been wonderful partners. I'm grateful to be playing in the NOS4A2 sandbox."

NOS4A2 stars Ashleigh Cummings as...

Seth MacFarlane's homage to Star Trek, The Orville, will make the jump from traditional television to Hulu next year. MacFarlane made the announcement last night at San Diego Comic-Con, and said that the show's third season wouldn't arrive until 2020.

The show is set four centuries in the future, and follows Captain Ed Mercer (played by MacFarlane) as he leads the Planetary Union's USS Orville as they explore new planets and undertake diplomatic missions.

Fox renewed the series back in May, and MacFarlane noted that the show has "has evolved and become more ambitious production-wise," leading to the production delay. The move from TV to Hulu comes shortly after Disney closed on its purchase of 21st Century Fox earlier this year, giving...
