Fog is a big part of any good Halloween festivities. You have to have fog. It’s the stuff ghouls and ghosts rise out of. Well if you want to have a cool fog effect for your next halloween party and don’t want to pay a lot of money, you can make a fog machine out of a pumpkin.

You only need a few items like a pumpkin, glycerine, distilled water, an aluminium ashtray or bowl, some toothpicks, air-drying clay, transparent paper, florist’s wire, some tealights and some drawing pins. You’ll carve the pumpkin, make some teeth for it. Then just follow the rest of the steps over at instructables and before you know it, you’ll have your very own pumpkin fog machine.

The finished product shown here looks pretty cool. Pumpkins look more evil with fog coming out of their mouths.

“We future-proofed Pebble quite a bit,” says Eric Migicovsky. “We put a lot of tech into Pebble because we knew that the watch we shipped to Kickstarter backers [was] what people were going to judge us on.” The hardware startup’s CEO is in New York for a few days, hitting the Big Apple after a …

There is always the first time for everything in life, and Google too, is a company that does experience its fair share of firsts from time to time. In fact, strong third quarter results have seen Google’s shares soar past the $1,000 mark for the first time in the company’s history. It was not too long earlier this morning after the share market opened, that Google Inc. shares made the jump to over 12% to touch the $1,002. This is interesting, especially when you consider that the stock itself did not make it past the $928 mark in regular market trading ever since Google went public at $85 per share a good nine years back.

This could be attributed to better-than-expected third-quarter results that were reported by Google late last night. The figures reported pointed out that the company’s advertising prices continued to decline, but that is being offset by a larger number of people who happen to click on ads. I don’t know about you, but I hardly click on any of the Google Ads – how about you? And to think that some analysts were thinking that Apple was going to surpass the $1,000 mark for its stock price some months back. Oh, the irony of it all.

NVIDIA’s news day apparently isn’t over just yet, as the company just revealed a new graphics card: the NVIDIA GTX 780 Ti. It’s apparently hitting retail shelves this November, and it’s just one step below the company’s super high-end GPU, the Titan. CEO Jen-Hsun Huang didn’t offer many specifics on …

Having grown up in the 80s and being a huge fan of the Transformers toys I can admit to wanting to punch Michael Bay in the face over the horrible Transformers films. Bay and his crew were on the set of the latest installment in the franchise and were filming in the streets of Hong Kong, when Bay and his crew were attacked by four “drugged up punks.”

Bay said of the attack, “The story… being passed around is not all true! Yes, some drugged up guys were being belligerent a—- to my crew for hours in the morning of our first shoot day in Hong Kong. One guy rolled metal carts into some of my actors trying to shake us down for thousands of dollars to not play his loud music or hit us with bricks.”

Apparently, the four assailants were demanding a payment of $12,900 for the “inconvenience” caused by Bay and his crew as they filmed Transformers: Age of Extinction on the streets of Hong Kong. Bay said when he and the crew refused to be extorted the assailants became violent and the police ultimately came in arrested the men.

Bay said, “Every vendor where we shot got paid a fair price for our inconvenience, but he wanted four times that amount. I personally told this man and his friends to forget it we were not going to let him extort us. He didn’t like that answer. So an hour later he came by my crew as we were shooting, carrying a long air conditioner unit. He walked right up to me and tried to smack my face, but I ducked (and) threw the air unit on the floor and pushed him away. That’s when the security jumped on him.”

What’s more interesting to me than a group of people wanting to smash Michael Bay in the face is that vendors in the area where they were shooting made somewhere in the area of $3000 for the inconvenience of the movie filming in the streets outside.

Bay continued, “It took seven big guys to subdue him… He actually bit into one of the guard’s Nike shoes – insane. Thank god it was an Air Max, the bubble (at the front of the shoe) popped, but the toe was saved.”
