Felix Kjellberg has more than 25 million subscribers on YouTube, more than 3.8 billion views on his videos, and has made millions of dollars in advertising revenue — all for recording himself playing video games and providing running commentary. If you haven't come across Kjellberg, or PewDiePie, as he's known on YouTube, this montage is a good introduction. And if you want to learn more about Kjellberg, his fellow gamers in the so-called "Let's Play" genre, and YouTube gaming as a full-time job, read this story by Christopher Zoia in The Atlantic.
Este montaje de James Risner consiste en 241 coches y 9 locomotoras instalados sobre una larguÃsima vÃa en espiral. Los vagones son de plástico con ruedas de aluminio. De modo que en realidad se trata de un gigantesco tren que se impulsa desde diferentes secciones, rodando sobre una misma vÃa sin fin.
El tren es tan largo que prácticamente ocupa toda la vÃa. Los motores que lo impulsan tienen 30 años, pero todavÃa funcionan perfectamente. Dice su creador que basta con mantenerlos bien lubricados.

The Mars wind tunnel at NASA's Ames Research Center was originally constructed to test how rockets would behave after takeoff by using a huge vacuum chamber, but is now used to simulate soil behavior in the low pressure atmosphere of Mars.
Malaysia has requested help from an additional 11 countries in the search for MH370, the Kuala Lumpur-Beijing flight that mysteriously disappeared after takeoff over a week ago. There are now 25 countries involved in the search effort, including the US, France, China, Australia, Kazakhstan, Pakistan, India, Myanmar, and others in Asia.
"The search was already a highly complex, multinational effort," Acting Transport Minister Hishammuddin Hussein said at a briefing today. "It has now become even more difficult."
The search area is now massive, spanning the borders of 11 nations and the Indian Ocean, which has poor radar coverage. "It is our hope with the new information, parties that can come forward and narrow the search to an area...
In April 1977, Ukrainian activist Myroslav Marynovych was arrested by Soviet police. He was 28 at the time, and had become an outspoken advocate for human rights, working to raise awareness about ongoing violations in what is now Ukraine. In the eyes of the Soviets, though, his work threatened to undermine state order, and it carried a stiff sentence: seven years in a gulag labor camp, followed by five years in exile.
Today, Marynovych works as the vice rector of the Ukrainian Catholic University in Lviv, a cosmopolitan city in western Ukraine. It's a far cry from the hardships he endured in the Perm-36 gulag, but his political passions still burn strong. And when protests broke out in Kiev's Maidan square late last year, he felt he had...
Fans who collectively donated $5.7 million on Kickstarter to make Veronica Mars were promised they'd be able to watch the movie online the same day it came out in theaters. But many were frustrated and disappointed when the only online option was Flixster, the Warner Brothers-owned distribution platform. After vocal complaints, the studio has decided to refund backers who purchase the film on iTunes or Amazon as well.
In a wide-ranging interview with Rolling Stone, Bill Gates says he doesn't have "much admiration" for Edward Snowden, and suggests Microsoft rather than Facebook could have bought WhatsApp.

There's an unspoken rule in the tech world that early adopters always pay more for the newest gear. "Just wait and the price will drop" is a sage piece of advice that we've all heard once in our lives. But any PlayStation 4 buyers going off of that logic in Canada will be sorely disappointed to hear that Sony is raising the price of the console by CAD$50 starting today to CAD$449.99.
The highly unusual case of a price hike is a "response to changes in the market environment," according to a statement Sony provided to the Financial Post . The company didn't clarify specifically what those changes are, but it's highly possible that a weakening Canadian Dollar has led to the price adjustment. On November 15th, launch day, the $399.99 price...
It's once again time to head to a galaxy far, far away as though it were written a long time ago. Last summer, Ian Doescher created a Shakespearean adaptation of the first Star Wars , and now he's back with the second installment. William Shakespeare's Star Wars: The Empire Striketh Back turns the original series' midpoint into a play composed in iambic pentameter and filled with gorgeous black-and-white illustrations of some of its most iconic characters, settings, and moments. "A price still lies upon my head, and if / I do not make amends with Jabba, I / Shall not repay with money, nay, but life," Han says early in the first act, while speaking with Leia and Rieekan.
The Empire Striketh Back will hit bookstore shelves (and digital...

And you thought that Lego castle you built as a kid was impressive. Two engineers in England have set the world record for completing a Rubik's Cube with a robot made from the ubiquitous plastic blocks. The (somewhat) cleverly-named Cubestormer 3 robot accomplished the impressive feat in just 3.253 seconds — about 62 percent faster than the previous world record, which was held by the second-generation version of the robot. That time also destroyed the current human record, set by the Dutchman Mats Valk, who set a 5.55 second time last year.
Of course, it takes a bit more than some Lego bricks to come up with that kind of time. The robot itself uses motors, actuators, and arms from a handful of Lego Mindstorm sets, while a custom-made...
