HBO edited that coffee cup out of ‘Game of Thrones’
[ad_1] It’s a relatively easy edit, but it’s surprising that the production team didn’t catch the gaffe before the episode aired for a gigantic audience.

Neil Young book chronicles fight to improve digital music
[ad_1] High-res, or “better than CD” quality hasn’t really caught on with mainstream consumers, most likely due to the premium upcharge and limited offerings.

Playing ‘Pokémon’ as a kid may have rewired your brain
[ad_1] Scientists already knew that humans have specific areas of the brain used to recognize faces, words, numbers and even celebrities like Jennifer Aniston, Bill Clinton and Kobe Bryant.

‘Hardcore History’ host Dan Carlin wants you to relive WW1 in VR
[ad_1] Carlin’s penchant for drama and storytelling is obvious from the start of War Remains. After donning a VR headset and backpack computer, I took a step forward and found myself in the basket of a hot air balloon. I peered over the edge — all the while holding onto the straw basket in real […]
Just another tethered VR headset
[ad_1] To really put the Rift S through its paces, I spent time revisiting some of my favorite VR experiences from the Rift. First up was Superhot, which looked noticeably sharper than before, with much bolder colors. It’s a bit of an abstract game, but the Rift S still made me feel like I was […]
