Dragonball 2 Is Already In The Pipeline

Even before Dragonball Evolution comes out, there’s already a screenplay for Dragonball II, according to star Justin Chatwin. So what happens? “The second one goes more into the whole legacy and the genealogy of Dragonball. It goes more in-depth into a real Dragonball series, the kind of intergalactic world of Dragonball.” [DB The Movie]

Ricoh CX1 Point and Shoot Does In-Camera High Dynamic Range, 120fps Slow-Mo

Even if most high dynamic range photos on Flickr make you want to barf, it’s still incredibly useful for creating images that match what the naked eye sees. The Ricoh CX1 does HDR images in-camera. It’s not the first (a few Pentax DSLRs do it, the K20 and K200) but it may very well be…

Warner Bros. Forced Watchmen’s Laurie To Go Cold Turkey

The Watchmen movie pays insane attention to the graphic novel… except the main accessory in superheroine Laurie Juspeczyk’s life, her opium-pipe-looking smokes. Why do the movie’s supermen get to smoke, but not the superwomen? It’s no secret that Zack Snyder paid insane attention to the detail in Watchmen. We’ve seen full pages of Tijuana bibles,…

SunCat Solar Batteries: Well That Was Obvious

Rechargeable batteries can be a bit of a pain—you have to carry around an adapter, find an outlet, and even bend over to plug in the adapter. It’s hell, really. The SunCat batteries solve all of these issues while giving the environment a firm pat on the butt by wrapping standard NiMH rechargeable batteries (1.8V)…

Terra May Take Post-Apocalyptic Cuteness Too Far

I really want to like Battle for Terra, the 3-D animated movie where survivors of a destroyed Earth argue over whether to conquer the way-too-cute peace-loving aliens. But this new trailer makes it really hard. There’s a lot to like here, including super-splashy space battles that will probably look great in 3-D, and a dark…

Mobile World Congress 09: The Good, The Bad, the Ugly and the Boring

Despite the new HTC Magic, the Sony Ericsson Idou, and Windows Mobile 6.5—which still is not Windows Mobile 7—the Mobile World Congress was a bag of lame. Some blame the economic crisis. I don’t. https://gizmodo.com/android-g2-hands-on-close-to-perfection-5154984 I blame the state of the technology. The lack of real innovation and news. Touch was finally everywhere—two years after…

‘Steampunk Frankenstein’ PC Is Awesome Enough To Excuse Being Steampunk In The First Place

I’ve had some harsh words for lesser Steampunk mods, and with good reason—it’s getting tired, and most examples are massively boring. Not boring: the “Frankenstein Steampunk”, an absurdly thorough PC mod built by Dana Mattocks. https://gizmodo.com/steampunk-aio-computer-is-a-pc-that-looks-old-which-is-5115523 The first thing you notice about this mod is its size—it’s 8 feet tall, and weighs over 400 pounds.…

Vampire Crime in an Alternate 1960s with Zeppelins and Steam Cars

One of the weirdest vampire movies I’ve ever seen is the New Zealand cult indie, Perfect Creature. Vampires are genetically-engineered holy ninjas called “the brothers” in an alternate 1960s packed with gorgeous steampunk detail.
