Petrol and diesel are not unlimited, which means that at some point in time they will run out. This is why there has been an emphasis placed on renewable energy, and also on machines that do not rely on fuel to run, such as electric cars. However it seems that in the future, it is also possible that our vehicles could run on poop.

The city of Portland has recently approved a methane recovery project. What this means is that they plan to collect the methane gas from sewage and turn that into a renewable energy source. Since we all need to poop, it is pretty much unlimited. According to Commissioner Nick Fish, “We are creating a triple-win for the public in terms of revenue, climate action and cleaner air. The renewable natural gas we will produce is truly local and homegrown, a by-product of the waste from every Portland household that we can now repurpose.”

The goal of this project is to reduce the 1.34 million gallons of dirty diesel fuel a year and also cut greenhouse emissions by 21,000 tons. It is also supposed to help generate around $3 million in revenue a year, and will also have less impact on the environment since there is no drilling required.

This isn’t the first time that an idea has been proposed regarding the reusing of human waste. As you might recall, several years ago Bill Gates helped to push for a machine that could turn poop into drinkable water, although in Portland’s case since no ingestion is required, it does sound more palatable.

As much as we’re sure HBO and Game of Thrones’ showrunners would love to keep things about the show as tightly locked up as possible until the episodes air, leaks are inevitable, especially when you have such a huge crew and there is always a possibility that someone might say something accidentally or intentionally.

We’ve seen several leaks make their way online in the past, but to be fair it’s hard to tell if they’re real. Now if you’re a huge stickler when it comes to spoilers, then you’ll want to avoid these leaks at all costs because in a recent report from HuffPost, Game of Thrones star Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (who plays Jaime Lannister) confirmed that most of the leaks you see online are the real deal.

The actor was quoted as saying, “What’s interesting, though, is every year there are huge spoilers online where people find out real stuff and they will post it, and you go, ‘Oh my God, they just spoiled the whole season online!’ But then, because there’s 10,000 other spoilers out there, they’re not real. It just gets lost in the shuffle. So, it’s all out there by the way … if you can find it.”

The upside is if you don’t care about spoilers then chances are what you read online will pretty much tell you what to expect. In the meantime Season 7 for Game of Thrones has been confirmed to begin airing on the 16th of July, 2017.

The way Sony and Microsoft are approaching console upgrade is rather interesting. What we have seen in the past is the companies would introduce slimmer versions of the existing console, with maybe more storage, but with the PS4 and Xbox One, Sony and Microsoft are instead launching upgrades in the PS4 Pro and Project Scorpio.

Both these consoles will continue to play PS4 and Xbox One games except at better specs. So the question is with this approach, will we ever see major console revisions in the future? Or are upgrades the way moving forwards? It’s a bit hard to say right now, but according to Macquarie Capital Securities Damian Thong, he believes that the “next-generation PlayStation” could be launched as early as next year.

While Thong did not state so explicitly, it has been speculated that this PS5 could be Sony’s answer to Microsoft’s Project Scorpio. The console is said to be aiming for over 10 teraflops in graphical power, which would be almost double that of Project Scorpio which is said to be capable of 6 teraflops.

It is unclear if the PS5 will continue to support PS4 games or if we’re looking at an entirely new platform. It would be strange for Sony to suddenly abandon the PS4 and PS4 Pro within a span of the year, so maybe we could be just looking at another upgrade, but in any case there’s no guarantee since this is just the opinion of an analyst, but what do you guys think? Could a PS5 be in the works?

It doesn’t matter if the emails you send are banal or innocent in nature, the fact that the NSA can collect your emails and read them without the need for a warrant has rubbed many people the wrong way, especially American citizens who basically felt like their government has been spying on them.

However the good news is that the practice has stopped, or at least to a certain extent. In a report from The New York Times, it seems that the National Security Agency (NSA) has announced that they will be halting the practice of collecting emails of Americans exchanged with people overseas.

Now this doesn’t mean that they won’t stop their surveillance program, but rather according to the report, “The agency is no longer collecting Americans’ emails and texts exchanged with people overseas that simply mention identifying terms — like email addresses — for foreigners whom the agency is spying on, but are neither to nor from those targets.”

This means that just because your emails to someone in another country mentions a foreigner under surveillance, it will no longer be collected en masse. In a statement made by the NSA, “Instead, this surveillance will now be limited to only those communications that are directly “to” or “from” a foreign intelligence target. These changes are designed to retain the upstream collection that provides the greatest value to national security while reducing the likelihood that NSA will acquire communications of U.S. persons or others who are not in direct contact with one of the Agency’s foreign intelligence targets.”

In an industry which is constantly pushing the boundaries of gameplay and graphics, we’re sure that there are quite a few gamers who might be worried about some of their favorite classic titles from back in the day disappearing into oblivion. However the good news for Mega Man fans is that Capcom could be looking to preserve the collection.

Back in 2015 we saw the publisher launch the Mega Man Legacy Collection which basically collected Mega Man 1-6. Now according to a report from Gematsu, it seems that a second Mega Man Legacy Collection could be in the works, thanks to a sighting at the Korean Game Ratings Board.

The board has suggested that Capcom could be applying for what is known as the “Rockman Legacy Collection 2”, which for those unfamiliar is another name for Mega Man depending on which country you’re from. The listing suggests that it would collect Mega Man titles from 7-10, and it will be available for the PS4, Xbox One, and the PC.

Capcom has yet to officially confirm the new collection, but the listing on the ratings board certainly suggests that it could come eventually. Not to mention it makes sense following the release of the first legacy collection, but we’ll keep our eyes peeled and hopefully Capcom will have more details to share soon or maybe at E3 2017.
