Before we get into the topic at hand, let me ask you guys something. What the hell is wrong with y’all? Why do you need to wear these shoes that look like they’re made of human skin? Are they for serial killers? All I know is that they are super creepy and they make it look like you have demon feet. You really want demon feet?
These things are actually thigh high so that when you wear them they hopefully look like it is your real skin. I’m not surprised at all that they are made by a company known as “Fecal Matter.” The artists say they’re designed to make a statement about social media ideals and body modification.
These would be great for Halloween if you want to dress up as a demon I guess. Wear them when it isn’t Halloween and you are going to get some very weird looks. Some might even run away.
They aren’t available yet, but when they are they’ll be sold for the rather outlandish price of $10,000 – making them only accessible to wealthy freaks. They are planning on making a more affordable version for those who can’t afford the high price tag.

Chamberlain Group, which owns several security and access brands including the myQ smart garage hub, has added two new companies to its portfolio: connected door lock maker Lockitron and wi-fi home security camera startup Tend.
In a press statement, Chamberlain Group CEO JoAnna Sohovich said Tend and Lockitron’s produts will be integrated into myQ. “We know families enter and exit their homes through their garage doors multiple times a day. Our myQ technology allows homeowners to monitor and control access from their smartphone,” she said. “Adding video, connected locks, and enhanced artificial intelligence to our access solutions will provide even further peace of mind as homeowners connect to their homes and loved ones.”
(Blogger Dave Zatz first spotted signs of the deal two weeks ago, including updates to Lockitron’s privacy policy).
Lockitron was one of the first smart lock brands, shipping its first connected lock in 2010. Its flagship product is the Bolt, a smart lock that is accessed by smartphone. The Bolt launched in 2015 and was the first smart locks available for under $100. The Chamberlain Group will integrate Lockitron’s technology into myQ so users can control their garage and residential doors with one app.
In an email to TechCrunch, Cameron Robertson, who co-founded Lockitron with Paul Gerhardt, said they began looking for potential buyers in order to have the resources to scale up and meet retail and e-commerce demand. Chamberlain Group was the best fit because it will support existing Lockitron users, and Lockitron’s technology can also be integrated into other products besides myQ. The transaction was an asset sale of the Lockitron product line from its parent company Apigy. Robertson and Gerhardt are now advising Chamberlain on a part-time basis, as well as working on new projects not related to Apigy, which Robertson says will eventually be wound down.
Tend’s video and functionality, including facial recognition, will also be integrated into myQ, so users can add a Tend camera and see video of their garage doors opening and closing through myQ’s app. The company was launched in 2008 and its co-founder and CEO Herman Yau will continue on as Tend general manager, leading its video and AI platform as part of Chamberlain Group.

Anime fans are no doubt very excited to check out Bandai Namco’s Jump Force. For those unfamiliar, Jump Force is an upcoming fighting game by Bandai Namco that brings together several big names in anime, such as Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, Death Note, Dragon Ball, and so on.
Previously these animes had their own video games, but this is an all out brawler which brings them all together into one game. Sounds exciting, right? Now if you were looking to check out the game before buying it, then you’ll be pleased to learn that Bandai Namco has announced that the open beta for Jump Force is expected to kick off from the 18th to the 20th of January, 2019.
The open beta will grant players access to 17 different characters in the game, as well as five different stages. Note that the open beta will not run continuously and that there will be different times in which the beta is available, so probably best to double check the announcement for the specific dates so that you don’t miss it.
The game is currently set for a release on the 15th of February, 2019 where it will be playable on the PS4, Xbox One, and PC. No mention of the Nintendo Switch was made so it looks like Switch gamers will have to sit this one out.
The Open Beta Test of #JumpForce is coming!
Get ready to play online versus with 17 Characters on 5 stages from 18th to 20th of January. #Unite2fight pic.twitter.com/NiqvUd1P2q— BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment Europe (@BandaiNamcoEU) January 10, 2019

Black hole spinning at half the speed of light is devouring a star
Posted in: Uncategorized
Astronomers back in 2014 were searching the night sky for something cool and found what they were looking for. On November 22, 2014, astronomers discovered a supermassive black hole at the center of a galaxy that lies 300 million light-years from Earth. That black hole had captured a passing star and was ripping it apart. As the star was devoured, … Continue reading
