While they may not be the very best in terms of performance, the Eero system fixes a lot of big problems that plague the wi-fi genre. I first encountered Eero nearly a year ago…

A Brand New Star Wars VR Experience Put Me on Tatooine and It Was Incredible

Yesterday, I stood on Tatooine, under two suns, and watched the Millennium Falcon land. This was the first-ever demo of Star Wars: Trials on Tatooine, the new virtual reality “experience” from Industrial Light and Magic’s ILMxLab. It was awesome—and then I got to swing a lightsaber. To test out Trials on Tatooine, I put on…

Early buzz from AMC’s Preacher adaptation, which premiered at SXSW, has been overwhelmingly positive.

Watch the Horrific Trailer for Sausage Party, the R-Rated, CG Movie About Talking Food

Behold, the trailer for Sausage Party, a movie that I am pretty sure exists solely for the name. There’s a great idea lurking in it—namely that the animation conceit of everyday things talking and moving around would actually make the real world a horrifying place.

Deadpool VFX Breakdown Reveals Just How Many Stunt Doubles Are Digital These Days

Swapping in a stunt double for an actor in a superhero movie is especially easy, since masks usually hide the character’s face.

This $30, 300GB Hard Drive Was Designed Especially for Raspberry Pi

Need some pocketable storage for your pint-sized computer? Western Digital’s new PiDrive is probably the answer, squeezing just over 300GB into its quarter-inch-thick frame—and it’ll only set you back $30. The new drive was, unsurprisingly, designed with the Raspberry Pi in mind. Not all external drives work with the simple little computers, so Western Digital…

Nutella is good on toast, with ice cream, or eaten by the spoonful while gently sobbing. But as it turns out, add a dash of potassium permanganate and a little heat, and you have yourself a good little fire. The mixture of potassium permanganate and Nutella (about 1:4) gives a sticky, slow-burning reaction that would…
