There’s a Huge 4K TV Hiding In This Photo

Can you see LG’s super-thin 4K OLED television in the photo above? It’s just 2.57 millimeters thick, giving it a virtually invisible profile. In fact, it would be entirely invisible if it wasn’t for the big chunky base that’s attached to the TV. Oof: The design is crazy; it’s just an OLED panel dropped on…

When Will Dubai Fix Its Burning Skyscraper Problem?

Watching a 63-story Dubai hotel explode into flames on New Year’s Eve and smolder well into New Year’s Day, you might’ve been wondering the same thing I was: Why do so many of Dubai’s skyscrapers catch fire?

But Troma’s latest achievement is supporting “the first prehistoric slasher film”—and its teenage writer-director. BC Butcher, which stars O.J. Simpson trial…

A Variable-Velocity Gun Can Shoot Just Slow Enough to (Hopefully) Not Kill People

Less-than-lethal weapons like rubber bullets and bean-bag rounds are a bad compromise, using a projectile that’s too slow to kill, and too big and heavy for real accuracy. A bullet that can change its velocity based on how far it has to travel would be a good solution, even if it looks weird as hell.…
