The bros at Rocket Jump already impressed us once with their incredibly impressive and almost believable knife-throwing video and now they’ve done it again with this clip of nine trick shots in a row. They’re also filmed in one continuous take. It would be really impressive—if it were real.

Of course, this insano knife-throwing video is not real—after all, these guys are not Russian. But the fake is so well made that you’ll swear it is real. I went through it frame by frame and you can’t notice the trick. Clever.

Are movies set in reality? Of course not! Because if they were, everything would be so much harder to do. Killing zombies with head shots? No chance. Having a villain wait to kill you? Never. Easily order a drink at the bar? Come on. Watch Suricate hilariously illustrate the difference between movies and real life in this very funny short.

It’s been like this for some time now but nothing is ever real in movies anymore, it’s just all special effects. Even that wall of that building that’s out of focus in the background and completely forgettable was generated with a computer. That’s why it’s almost way more interesting to see the behind the scenes computer work—the VFX reel—of movies than to actually see the movie. Like this.

It’s being widely circulated in Twitter and Facebook right now but this photo of some biblical wrath of God storm about to hit Denmark—purportedly to be an image of the cyclone Bodil that has been hammering Europe these days—is not real. It’s quite cool, though.

Eating right? Exercising? Forget that. Just get yourself a cool muscle shirt from Funkybod. These fake muscle tops are for wearing under another shirt so that you can look ripped and awesome without any health food or exercise. That’s a big win. You need something to hide those moobs and this is it.
According to its makers:
The Funkybod undershirt is designed to enhance your natural physique. Because of the way it is designed, there is a marked improvement in the look if the wearer has the typical visual manboob issues when wearing a shirt. This was not the intended market for the Funkybod muscle top. Initially, it was designed to enhance the upper body muscle groups of skinny to medium build men. After initial trials we found that some of the smaller men had manboob issues which were covered well with the Funkybod muscle top. This led us to experiment with larger men and look into the manboob issue further.
Features of the Funkybod muscle top:
Turn those man boobs into muscle the way nature intended – with a shirt! I doubt that it feels as realistic as they say. The important thing is that it makes me look good to the ladies. Until I take my shirt off anyway. Oh well.
Layer one of these on top to complete the illusion.

What do you get when you cross Star Trek jargon, a decent knowledge of Photoshop, and Florida? Well, judging by Howard Leventhal’s attempt to secure around $3 million in funding for a fake tricorder, the answer is one impressively delusional case of fraud.

Fake confirmations of Samsung buying a Swedish fingerprint biometrics company have prompted a fraud investigation, after a bogus press release claiming a $650m deal had gone ahead was released. According to the statement, put out on press distributor Cision earlier today, Samsung had acquired Fingerprint Cards in a fully cash deal; however, both Samsung and […]
Already feeling secure about using just your fingerprint to unlock the new iPhone 5S? European hacker association Chaos Computer Club claims it can be circumvented with “easy everyday means.” According to CCC hacker “Starbug”, tactics laid out in a how-to from 2004 are all that are required, with just a higher res fake needed to beat the Touch ID reader. The process, requires a 2400 DPI photograph of someone’s fingerprint from a glass surface, which is then laser printed at 1200 DPI and used to create a thin latex sheet that serves as the fake. Simple, right? It’s a bit more labor intensive than the old way (just watching someone input their passcode or pattern) but users may want to consider fingerprint access as a measure intended more for convenience than security.

You’d think that the Lumia 1020’s 41-megapixel camera and unibody design would deter clone makers — how do you even get close to the real thing? That hasn’t stopped an anonymous Shenzhen company from giving it a shot, however. As you’d expect, this attempt at keepin’ it real fake is nowhere near as well-designed as the Nokia original. It’s housed in a crude two-piece shell and carries just a 2MP camera at the back. Most of the rear hump is occupied by “41-megaplxel” speakers and an attempted revival of Nokia’s XpressMusic badge. At least the Windows Phone-like Android launcher is more convincing. We’d advise against spending $69 on this knockoff for serious uses, although you may want one for the novelty; now that Microsoft is buying Nokia’s device business, it may the closest we get to an Android-based Nokia phone. Check out a second image of the clone after the break.
