Watch a Drone-Hunting Quadcopter Attack Its Prey

Now that everyone with a few hundred bucks to burn can become an amateur drone pilot, we’re seeing quadcopters buzzing all over the place, including places they’re not supposed to fly. That’s where the drone-hunting Airspace comes in. Like a bird of prey, it hunts down other flying drones and knocks them out of the…

Inspecting Film Is Weirdly Interesting

I always assumed that inspecting film would be a thankless job done out of sight in a back room and, well, it kind of is, but Michael Rousselet makes it look way more fun than it should be. K. William McMillan showed Rousselet doing his inspection thing on film reels at the Norris Cinema Theater…

This NES Controller Notebook Is the Perfect Place to Jot Down Cheat Codes

ThinkGeek’s timing could’ve been better with this 240-page notebook inspired by the NES console’s boxy controllers. It would have been the perfect place to write down level codes, cheats, or draw out maps to help you navigate Metroid’s endless caves and caverns—when you were eight years old. But hey, it’s never too late. The geeky…

The Power Rangers Movie Trailer Is Much More Radical (But Still Kind of Boring) With the Original Show’s Footage

Last weekend at New York Comic Con we got our first proper look at the Power Rangers movie—and it was kinda boring. It was overtly serious, and nothing like what you’d expect from a bright and action-packed series like Power Rangers. Sadly, cutting the trailer to footage from the original show does little to help.…

Hackers Claim They Wiped John Podesta’s iPhone

From the perspective of newsworthiness, Wikileak’s Podesta emails have been totally weird. Amidst revelations about an ex-Blink-182 member’s belief in extraterrestrial life, and Podesta’s own advice on cooking risotto, Trump supporters on a variety of imageboards have been sifting through the emails for anything compromising. Last night it seems they hit paydirt. Many of the…

Leaked Emails Show Clinton Aide Freaked Out About Confusing Email Subject Lines

Buried within the Podesta email leaks is an extremely emotional ongoing debate about email etiquette. Specifically, what to do when it comes to subject lines. The email subject line, in theory, contains an overview of what’s inside. But in the modern day of infinitely long and amorphous chains, that isn’t always the case. And Clinton…

Trump Supporters Claim First Class Armrests Couldn’t Move in the 1980s, Which Is a Lie

Is it even physically possible that Donald Trump sexually assaulted a woman on a plane in the 1980s? One woman, now in her 70s, says yes. The Trump camp says no. Internet sleuths, however, also say yes. At least five women came forward yesterday to talk about their experiences with unwanted sexual advances from Donald…

Syfy’s Incorporated Finally Steps Out of Gattaca‘s Shadow With a Great New Trailer

A lot of people have been comparing Incorporated to the 1997 scifi thriller Gattaca, and on the surface it makes sense. It’s about a sleek corporate future where one guy disguises himself as another guy to get inside. But the latest look proves that’s really where the comparisons end. Matt Damon and Ben Affleck’s new…
