SpaceX’s space suits are designed for optimum functionality with the Crew Dragon spacecraft.
Check out a rare behind the scenes look at the development of SpaceX‘s new space suit. The same suit worn by NASA Astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley during their historic mission to the International Space Station in May.

MIT project illustrates the possibilities of deepfake technologies by reimagining Apollo 11’s moon landing.
In July 1969, much of the world celebrated “one giant leap for mankind.” The Apollo 11 moon mission was an overwhelming success but what if it had been a disaster?
MIT Center for Advanced Virtuality in collaboration with Mozilla and the MIT Open Documentary Lab created In Event of Moon Disaster, a project that illustrates the possibilities of deepfake technologies by reimagining this seminal event.

iPhone 12 concept
It’s been quite a long time since we’ve posted an iPhone concept. And for good reason. Even if you like to admit it or not, the iPhone line-up in the last couple of years has been pretty boring. And concepts were just as boring or flat out unrealistic.
In a dystopian world a new form of A.I. weaponry has been created.
Directed by by Stewart Sugg, “Slaughterbots” is a Sci-Fi short set in a dystopian world where a new form of A.I. weaponry has been created. All these drone bots need is a profile: age, sex, fitness, uniform, and ethnicity. Nuclear is obsolete. Take out your entire enemy virtually risk free. Just characterize him, release the swarm, and rest easy.
The 7 minute film opens with a Silicon Valley CEO-type delivering a product presentation to a live audience a la Steve Jobs. The presentation seems innocuous enough at first—the presenter seems to be unveiling some new drone technology—but takes a dark turn when he demonstrates how these autonomous drones can slaughter humans like cattle by delivering “a shaped explosive” to the skull.
The audience eats it up, clapping and laughing along with the CEO as if they hadn’t witnessed anything more dangerous than the unveiling of the iPhone X. The CEO goes further, showing videos of the tiny killer drone in action.
“Let’s watch what happens when the weapons make the decisions,” the CEO says, as the bot executes a number of people on the massive screen behind him. “Now trust me, these are all bad guys.”
What follows is a deeply unsettling portrait of a dystopian world where these small weaponised drones use their onboard technologies—“cameras like you use for your social media apps, facial recognition like you have on your phones!”—to make autonomous decisions about who lives and who dies.
there is now an easier way to replace the back glass on your iPhone 8, iPhone X, or even iPhone 11.
Apple has once again made the back glass on their new iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro permanent. Apple charges 300 to 600 dollars to replace the glass back on their new iPhones.
Lucky for us, there is now an easier way to replace the back glass on your iPhone 8, iPhone X, or even iPhone 11. And that is with the new Laser Separator machine.

Battery test comparing Dark Mode and Light Mode to see how much battery life you can save using Dark Mode on your phone.
Turns out Dark Mode has a major impact on battery life. And it looks cool too.
Human skin is the best interface for interaction.
Human skin is the best interface for interaction. I propose this new paradigm in which interactive devices have their own artificial skin, thus enabling new forms of input gestures for end-users.
