24,800 acres of land will soon become a "smart city" in Arizona. One of Bill Gates' investment firms is investing millions into this project, hoping that its proximity to local hubs and ability to be completely molded will allow for innovation. Bill Gates has started laying out his plans for creating a “smart city” in Phoenix, Arizona, about 45 minutes west of downtown. Located in the far west valley, the piece […]
The Dream Chaser, a space-craft designed and developed by the Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC), on Saturday successfully completed a free flight test by landing at California’s Edwards Air Force Base. The un-crewed spacecraft was dropped out of a helicopter flying at an altitude of 12,324 feet over the Mojave Desert. The Dream Chaser descended for 60 seconds, reaching speeds of 330 miles per hour, before touching down on the runway […]
Here’s what to know about Justice League before seeing it this weekend: it’s the ear-buds-plugged-in-without-being-untangled version of a movie. The superhero would-be blockbuster is functional but frustrating. It’s constrained, dense with potential that remains knotted either by a lack of skill or lack of time. By all accounts, Warner Bros. continued to throw money at the problem — by bringing in Joss Whedon to finish the film after director Zack Snyder left […]
There is a right way to play Star Wars Battlefront 2's 40-player Galactic Assault mode. I haven't mastered it, but it's about maximizing the point value of each life and spending those points in the right way at the right time. It's made me a crappy sitcom's caricature of a gamer. "Man, I need more points to unlock Yoda" is definitely something someone would say on TV to indicate they're […]
“You don’t want what I’m gonna put you through,” Adam Levine teases on “Best 4 U,” the groovy throwback track that kicks off Maroon 5’s sixth LP, Red Pill Blues. You can’t blame him for the warning. With their ironclad grasp on the Top 40 (each of their albums has gone platinum, if not multiplatinum), the band isn’t exactly one you seek out. Instead, Maroon 5 come to you — in […]

Christmas 2019 will be coming a bit earlier for "Wonder Woman 2" fans. Warner Bros. has announced that the film will be released on November 1, 2019 -- six weeks earlier than had originally been slated. There was much excitement at this year's San Diego Comic-Con International when it was announced that the sequel to this year's blockbuster superhero movie would be coming out in mid-December 2019. 'Wonder Woman 2' […]
Batman, Wonder Woman, et al: Prepare to defend yourselves. Forget Steppenwolf; the greatest threat to Warner Bros' Justice League might end up being movie critics. With the first team-up of DC's self-proclaimed World's Greatest Super-Heroes just days away from release, the reviews are in, and to say they're mixed would be an understatement. Certainly The Hollywood Reporter's own Todd McCarthy was not a fan, writing that "the virtually humor-free script by Chris Terrio […]
