Speed Enforcement Drones?!

Posted: 21 Jul 2013 09:56 AM PDT

People in the San Francisco area started freaking out when official-looking signs depicting a drone firing a missile stating "speed enforced by drones" started cropping up all over Bay Area highways. However, a local news station, and many more since, has reported that these signs are indeed fake and being removed by the California Highway Patrol, also known as the CHP.

The CHP confirmed that the signs were professionally made with the same materials official road signs are made out of. One even went so far as to use tamper-resistant bolts! Authorities still don't know who's behind the prank.

Did you know there was a Chrome OS? I didn't, but apparently some anti-establishment people out there are choosing to forgo Windows, Mac and Linux-based operating systems in favor of Chrome OS. The operating system is currently in beta and has recently received a major update.

All you Chrome OS users out there – yes, both of you – will now get to enjoy new features like the new "immersive" full screen mode, UI scaling, and wallpaper sync. There's also a smarter app launcher in the new update. All you Google lovers looking for the full update list will need to follow the source link to find it.

Comic-Con happened in San Diego this weekend. Unlike during E3, I don't have a ton of news for you from the Con, but there is one tidbit that's sure to make geeks everywhere rejoice! Warner Bros has announced that Batman will in the second Superman movie that's set to be released in 2015.

However, Christopher Nolan, the man who directed the most recent Batman trilogy, will have some input as an executive producer for the movie.

Legitmix finds Legal Loophole for Remix Sales

Posted: 21 Jul 2013 09:46 AM PDT

Legitmix, a Brooklyn-based company, thinks it's found a legal way for remix artists to sell their wares. The company spent a million dollars building and developing an algorithm that has allowed it to create an online store where remix artists can sell their remixes and retain 70% of the total sale.

The algorithm works by not allowing people to download remixes of songs they don't already own. If you try to download a remix for a song that isn't on your hard drive, it'll redirect you to iTunes to buy the song in question. Most songs cost $2.29 and another dollar for the remix.

Next Avengers Villain is Ultron

Posted: 21 Jul 2013 09:43 AM PDT

Joss Whedon, one of the premier – if not THE premier – comic and scriptwriter's of our time, announced the title and, indirectly, the main villain of the next Avengers movie yesterday at San Diego's Comic-Con 2013. The title, showcased at the end of a teaser trailer that previewed a long list of Marvel's upcoming movies, is Avengers: Age of Ultron.

Ultron, for those who don't follow Marvel comics, is an artificial intelligent robotic being that's been around since the 1960s. For DC fans, think of him as Marvel's Brainiac. He was the feature villain during this year's Avengers comic series whose storyline was similarly titled Age of Ultron, but the movie and comic storyline aren't likely to have very many plot-based similarities.
