Hasta La Gadget!

The primary purpose of speaking and writing is to sound as cool as possible at all times, and now a data scientist has given us the specific keywords we need to impress our peers, no matter where we are. In a post on Degenerate State, the scientist took the lyrics off DarkLyrics.com,“the largest metal lyrics archive on the web,” from a database of 222,623 songs by 7,634 bands to analyze the most and least metal words. Comparing the DarkLyrics data with the Brown Corpus—a 1961 collection of English-language documents (no song lyrics) that is “the first of the modern, computer readable, general corpora”—the data scientist found the top 20 most and least metal words. Here’s a sampling:

Motorola may have already launched its champs for the 2016, but one member of its new “Z” family remains unaccounted for. The Moto Z Play, which was leaked to be in existence, still has to make its existence known to the world. While we still don’t know the exact date for that, it might actually be close at hand, given … Continue reading

The other day Blizzard released the pre-patch for World of Warcraft that basically introduced and prepared gamers for the upcoming Legion expansion. The pre-patch brought about the new class changes, new animations for certain classes, tweaks to the talent tree, and so on. However what was missing was the Demon Hunter class and the Demon Invasion.

Now prior to this Blizzard did state that they planned to release the Demon Hunter class before the 17th of August, and it looks like Blizzard will be keeping their word. According to an announcement on the World of Warcraft website, Blizzard revealed that the Demon Hunter class would be available to gamers on the 9th of August.

They also announced that the demon invasion would begin on the 9th of August. For those unfamiliar, the demon invasion is essentially a world event that will setup the story for Legion. Players can take part in the invasion with their characters and earn various kinds of loot when they participate.

Presumably this event will be only available until the release of Legion which is set for the 30th of August, so if you’re looking forward to checking it out, mark the 9th of August down on your calendars.

When you think of solar, you probably of the technology that converts sunlight into energy, and you would be right. However it seems that researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago have managed to create solar cells that can do more than just that, and will be able to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) into hydrocarbon fuel.

The idea behind these solar cells is to mimic plants, so not only does it produce sustainable energy, but it also rids the atmosphere of significant amounts of carbon. According to Amin Salehi-Khojin, assistant professor of mechanical and industrial engineering at UIC, “The new solar cell is not photovoltaic — it’s photosynthetic. Instead of producing energy in an unsustainable one-way route from fossil fuels to greenhouse gas, we can now reverse the process and recycle atmospheric carbon into fuel using sunlight.”

It is believed that with these new solar cells, the cost of turning CO2 into fuel would cost around the same amount as a gallon of gasoline, meaning that it won’t be more expensive to turn to renewable energy, which in turn could render fossil fuels unnecessary. The researchers have also suggested that this technology could be useful on Mars, where the planet’s atmosphere is mostly CO2.

When and where exactly this technology will be implemented remains to be seen, but it has been suggested that it could be used in solar farms, but it could also be used for smaller scale applications, but no doubt this is a game changer.

Vending machines are wonderful things as they are incredibly convenient. For example we’ve seen vending machines that can dispense short stories, marijuana, hot cooked fries, and even undergarments. Now over in San Francisco, if you’ve ever had a sudden craving for baguette, or if you decide that you want to make bruschetta, there is a vending machine that will do that.

Dubbed the Le Bread Xpressing vending machine, this machine will be able to dispense warm baguettes to customers whenever they want one. Each loaf is partially cooked when they are loaded into the machine, meaning that when you want one, the machine will cook it up for you meaning that every loaf you purchase is pretty much made to order.

According to Benoit Herve, CEO and Founder, “We looked for the perfect baguette that I didn’t find in the Bay area.  I then discovered a French baker who has built a micro-bakery to deliver freshly baked baguettes from the oven On-Demand 24/7. I have decided to bring it in the US.” Now we can’t attest to the taste of the baguettes but if you wanted a convenient and quick solution, this could be it.

Right now the machine is located at The Myriad, 2175 Market Street, San Francisco CA. There are plans to bring it to Stonestown, 3251 20th Avenue, San Francisco CA in the future, so keep an eye out for it. In the meantime you can check out the vending machine in action in the video above.
