This fan-made Uncharted movie starring Nathan Fillion proves video game movies don't have to be awful
Jul 16, 10:29PM
It’s not exactly a controversial statement: movies based on video games are, generally, bad. See: Assassins Creed. Or that weird mess that was Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. Or that Super Mario movie where Bowser (renamed “President Koopa” for some reason) was basically just a dude with bad hair for half the movie. Turns out, as this […]

Netflix is falling off a cliff
Jul 16, 8:36PM
Netflix didn’t add as many subscribers as expected by a bunch of people on Wall Street who, on a quarterly basis, govern whether or not it’ll be more valuable than Comcast — and that is probably a bad thing, as it’s one of the primary indicators of its future potential for said finance folk. While it’s […]

0x lets any app be the Craigslist of cryptocurrency
Jul 16, 8:06PM
Centralized crypto exchanges like Coinbase are easy but expensive because they introduce a middleman. Not-for-profit project 0x allows any developer to quickly build their own decentralized cryptocurrency exchange and decide their own fees. It acts like Craigslist, connecting traders without ever holding the tokens itself. And instead of having to bootstrap their way to enough […]

Nuraphones get active noise cancelling via software update
Jul 16, 7:00PM
I like the Nuraphones a lot. In fact, I named the sound-adapting headphones one of my favorite things of 2017. Clearly I'm not alone in that enthusiasm, either — the Melbourne-based startup scored $4.7 million to expand its market early last year. Nura announced this week that it's making its headphones even better, courtesy of […]

Jul 16, 6:56PM
CRISPR-Cas9, the gene editing tool that is currently the darling of biotech and many other fields, may not be quite as miraculous as early tests suggested.

Jul 16, 5:56PM
The FCC has been under serious scrutiny by citizens, advocates, and politicians alike due to its laissez-faire attitude towards, in particular, the proposed Sinclair Broadcasting merger with Tribune. But the agency is showing some backbone today with a no-nonsense declaration that the merger can't go through unless a few "serious concerns" are addressed.
