The UK has one of the highest concentrations of CCTV in the world (fact), and new band Get Out Clause needed to make a point, promote themselves and make a video (in that order)… Here’s what they did: Unable to afford to make their own music video the band set up and performed their music in front of 80 of the 1,300 CCTV cameras used by British state security – one camera was even on a bus… Now comes the good part: the band used the UK Data Protection Act – that’s the UK equivalent of US reader’s access to information laws – to request all the footage the state collected of them… It gets better: the band then took all the clips of them performing in front of those CCTV cameras, spliced it all together in iMovie or something, and created their very own music video....

The first one has been shown at CES 2012. It’s the Lenovo K800 and it will only be available in China at the moment. It will run Android 4.0 and uses the Intel Atom Z2460 CPU. It also has a 4.5 inch 720p display. Intel has also shown an “Intel Reference Design Smartphone” (pictured), in order to allow everyone to see what they’re talking about. It had a 4.03 inch touchscreen, an 8 megapixel camera, but the groovy part concerns its energy efficiency....

Charles ‘Chuck’ Thacker, lead designer of the Xerox Alto (below), has died at the age of 74, reports Communications. The Alto, launched in 1973, was the first ever computer based on a graphical user interface and controlled by a mouse, and was one of the inspirations behind Apple’s Lisa and Macintosh computers … Thacker said in 2010 that the falling price of RAM was key to enabling them to build a GUI-based computer....

Screen Rant sat down with the actors to discuss the most gripping elements of Carnival Row, allowing all three to share their personal thoughts on the trajectory of their characters and the importance of the show’s themes. The first thing I want to start with is: what got you on board for the project? There was a bidding war for it. Tamzin Merchant: Well, as soon as I read the script, it just felt magical....

The developer behind the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077, CD Projekt Red, and the author responsible for creating The Witcher, Andrezej Sapkowski, have reached a new licensing deal that will see the studio retain rights to keep developing games based on the intellectual property. There’s no question that The Witcher has turned into a major pop culture sensation of sorts, with the license just receiving its very own Netflix series. While reviews on that are mixed, the game franchise holds a special place in the hearts of gamers....

French site NWE claims to have found photos of a finished production model of the casing of the 4.7-inch version of the iPhone 6, shown in gray. While not revealing anything new about the overall design of the phone, it does appear to give a much clearer view of how the antenna breaks are handled, with a significantly more subtle appearance than had been suggested by some earlier leaked parts, mockups and renders – as seen in the photo below … Breaks are needed in an all-metal casing to allow the transmission of radio signals, and there’s been a lot of concern about the aesthetics of these based on versions with either white or black lines....

Monroe’s exercise in practical economics is a good example of one of the complaints Cambridge economist Diane Coyle makes in Cogs and Monsters: What Economics Is, and What It Should Be: the false belief that the profession is neutral and objective. As Coyle writes, the choice and design of the index that underlies how we calculate benefits payments ensures that there will be winners and losers. The choice, therefore, cannot be values-neutral....

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wZWtH_rsOM&feature=youtu.be] Yesterday we gave you our hands-on demo video of the latest MiniDrone quadricopter from Parrot, and today we got a demo of the new Parrot Jumping Sumo: a Wi-Fi connected “insect robot” toy that can turn on a dime and jump up to 30 inches.It’s controlled via an iOS app, packs in a gyroscope and accelerometer, and can roll and turn 90 degrees with quite impressive precision.

Pundits have been predicting for several successive quarters that iPhone sales in China would outstrip those in the U.S., and Q2 2015 was when it finally happened, reports Reuters. Tim Cook said that the iPhone was responsible for the bulk of Apple’s revenue in China, though he did also note that Mac sales were “unbelievable,” up 31% year-on-year. As with other markets, the iPhone is usually the first Apple product people buy, but that brings them into the ecosystem and boosts sales of other products … Apple […] sold more iPhones in China than the United States for the first time […] increasing its revenue in the country 71 percent to $16....

A battery electric vehicle (BEV) seems like the sadly perfect choice for our current dystopia. Worried about climate change? Electric vehicles dramatically reduce carbon emissions, compared to internal combustion vehicles. Pandemic got you afraid to travel? Road trips are much more appealing these days, especially when compared to the thought of spending hours in close quarters with other people on an airplane. And, thankfully, Tesla’s no longer the only game in town....

Actor Robert Pattinson will reportedly star in Christopher Nolan’s next film. Since concluding the Twilight saga in 2012, the English actor has established himself as one of cinema’s most versatile performers. BlacKkKlansman’s John David Washington has already been cast in Nolan’s new production. Like many iconic directors, Nolan started small with his 1998 black-and-white debut Following. By 2000, the English filmmaker established a significant American fanbase upon releasing the neo-noir psychological thriller Memento....

Acer has today teased the latest version of its Swift 7 laptop at IFA. The company hasn’t revealed much about it as yet, but The Verge reports that it has shared a few details. Not all MacBook Pro owners will agree than thin is necessarily good. There are those who argue that thicker batteries and more passive cooling capacity would result in a more useful machine. But the thing that does stand out for me about the Swift 7 is those ultra-thin bezels …...

The US Department of Justice (DoJ) said on Monday that Hytera Communications Corp “recruited and hired Motorola Solutions employees and directed them to take proprietary and trade secret information from Motorola without authorization.” According to the indictment, unsealed in the Northern District of Illinois, Motorola and Hytera both moved from the sale of analog mobile radios (walkie-talkies) to digital mobile radios (“DMRs”) after a 2004 announcement by the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) that vendors must make the shift by 2013....
