T-Mobile's Now Letting You Test Drive Its Network Before You Switch

Christopher Guest's Production Designer On How He Sets A Movie's Mood

Waiting for Guffman is one of the funniest movies of all time. Christopher Guest is a comedic genius who pioneered the now-ubiquitous mockumentary style, and fills his films with actors who are improv pros. But a big part of why his work feels so true to life are the spot-on visual details that fill out each and every scene. Meet Joe Garrity, Guest's longtime production designer.

Movie lines ridiculously edited by TV censors

Movie lines ridiculously edited by TV censors

I can understand adjusting movie formats to fit a screen. I can understand bleeping offensive words on regular networks. But changing entire iconic lines from movies like The Departed, Scarface, The Usual Suspects, or Pulp Fiction into absolutely ridiculous stuff is almost offensively stupid—and hilarious.

Amazon Fire Phone Hands-On: Great For Amazon, Less For You

Amazon revealed its first ever phone today . Dubbed the Fire Phone, it has all kinds of wild features like the head-tracking Dynamic Perspective , Firefly (for buying all the things), and all kinds of other bells and whistles.

China is Building Fake Islands to Bolster Its Claim to Disputed Waters

Pity the poor mapmaker assigned to the South China Sea. The hotly disputed waters in the Pacific are torn between competing claims from all the countries that surround it. China, especially, has been aggressive and sly. It's now dumping sand onto small reefs and shoals, building whole new islands to bolster its territorial claims.

Every Webpage From the 1995 Movie The Net

Every Webpage From the 1995 Movie The Net

To say the 1995 movie The Net is a classic would be…an overstatement. The Irwin Winkler film starring Sandra Bullock, Jeremy Northam, and Dennis Miller didn't have the best reception when it came out, and over time it's gotten a reputation as a very schlocky paranoid thriller (in reality, it's probably become more realistic as the net's reach has expanded).

Humans will land on Mars by 2026, says SpaceX Elon Musk

Elon Musk just said that his SpaceX spaceships will get humans to Mars by 2026, with or without NASA. It may seem cocky, but coming from a man who has built this entire company so he can die on Mars—and to "help ensure the survival of humanity"—those words are not to be taken lightly.

I Wore Part of the Army's Real-Life Iron Man Suit

The US Army is working on a real-life Iron Man suit , and the first prototypes are coming later this week. But yesterday I got a sneak preview of one of the many clever components.

Here's How One Parent From 1989 Imagined 2014

Is it cruel to have children when the world is so terrible? That's not a new question. And when a newspaper columnist in Michigan asked it in 1989, he came down on the side of no. The world of the future — the world of 2014, to be exact — was going to be just wonderful enough that having kids was a great idea. Was he right?

LG's Glueless Packaging Is Almost as Impressive as the OLED TV Inside

A product's packaging is usually nothing but the last obstacle between you and a shiny new gadget, but often there's as much thought that goes into the design of a cardboard box as the device inside. For instance, LG put a remarkable amount of design effort into the box its OLED TVs ship in, and most consumers will never even notice.

Spies in the Skies: How Aerial Surveillance Tipped the Balance of WWII

When General Werner von Fritsch, the then commander-in-chief of the German Army, predicted in 1938 that "the military organization which has the best reconnaissance unit will win the next war," few doubted that, in aerial reconnaissance and photography, the Luftwaffe reigned supreme. This, however, proved to be far from the case.
