Hello people of the internet!  Check out this cool video showing off a new device that’s gonna send us into the future!  It’s called Leap, and it makes it possible for you to control and interact with your computer via your hands and 3d space!  Basically like the movie “Minority Report”… Now according to them it’s “more accurate than a mouse, as reliable as a keyboard and more sensitive than a touchscreen”… and from what’s shown in that video it looks like it destroys the “Xbox Kinect” in precision!  For more info OR if you’d like to pre-order this thing head on over to:

It being a super nice Friday makes one want to just hang out with friends, and if you’re a celebrity chances are pretty good you’re going to be meeting up with other such famous people.  This blog, Awesome People Hanging Out Together, is a gallery of such celebrity meet-ups with some really cool combinations of stars that you wouldn’t normally expect to see together!  (Elvis Presley and Muhammad Ali seen sparring above!)http://awesomepeoplehangingouttogether.tumblr.com/

In a week when seemingly everyone in the world is rushing off to see The Avengers (and if you’re still on the fence, seriously- rush out and see it) we thought we’d post this awesome fan made short featuring a whole bunch of Marvel Heroes and Villains! 
Hat’s off to animator Junaid Chundriga, super well done!

Hey gang, so this week in the news we came across this ridiculous article from the CBC, which talks about a theory that’ll really make you think… “Dinosaur flatulence may have led to global warming” …here’s a quote from the article:
“Indeed, our calculations suggest that these dinosaurs could have produced more methane than all modern sources — both natural and man-made — put together,”
