Close Ups On Clone Wars Characters Show The Problem With CGI

New Star Wars: Clone Wars pictures show more of the weirdly chiseled CGI jaw-lines of Anakin Skywalker and the wonky-faced Obi-Wan. It’s amazing, with all of the money they spent making this a Star Wars “like we’ve never seen before,” they truly did manage to make the main characters look practically unrecognizable.

Tobey Maguire will get one more shot to apologize for emo Spidey.

Nano-Iron Is Perfect for an Armored Battlesuit

Sure, an armored suit made of iron is great, but what if you could make it out of nano-iron? Nano-iron is harder and stronger than plain old iron, with a sweet crystalline structure sure to impress supermodels.

It’s a Glovephone!

Ring ring. “Hello?” “Hi.” “Who is this?” “Glovephone.” The Glovephone is sadly just a concept. Connecting via Bluetooth to your handset, the Glovephone is meant for extreme weather conditions and rescue workers.

Remember NHK’s Super Hi-Vision, the 7680×4320 format that looks so good viewers throw up?

Smallest Ramen Bowl in the World

According to legend, University of Tokyo professor Masayuki Nakao was bitten by a radioactive ramen bowl when he was a kid, which gave him the ability to spit 1-micron-wide bowls made out of silicon—full of dozens of 20-nanometer-think carbon noodles floating in an ethanol soup—at supersonic speeds. Or maybe he did this one with a…
