The final 'Beauty and the Beast' trailer is here and it makes some changes from the animated movie

"Beauty and the Beast" — Disney's latest movie in a string of live-action remakes — hits theaters on March 17. With just over a month to go, Disney has released a new full-length trailer for the film. 

The new (and final) trailer shows off more of Emma Watson as Belle, and Dan Stevens in his Beastly form. 

So far the trailers were giving die hard Disney fans hope that the live-action reboot will stay very loyal to the original source material, but the latest footage looks like the film may make some departures. Notably, it looks like Belle will be less of a damsel and more in control of her fate when it comes to being imprisoned by the Beast.

Netflix now lets Android users download movies and shows onto SD storage

It was a truly glorious day when Netflix announced offline downloads, but maybe less impactful for those of you with limited storage on your smartphone or tablet. Today Netflix is taking a step to help Android users stuck in that situation; you can now store those downloaded movies and TV shows on microSD cards.

The latest version of the Netflix app gives you a choice of saving things to internal storage or, if your phone supports SD, picking the external option instead. Until now, Netflix only let you save content to internal memory, which had to be annoying for anyone carrying a phone with 32GB of built-in space and a ton of expandable storage.

Keep in mind that offline content does expire (time limits vary depending on the content), so you won’t be able to store movies or shows on microSD and just leave them there to watch much later. And Netflix notes that the feature doesn’t support any and all Android devices with a microSD slot. But this small change definitely makes offline downloads much more convenient on the Android side of things.

Apple's Night Shift is coming to macOS

Before I'd ever heard of how LCD-originated blue light is slowly killing all of us maybe, I downloaded this weird little app for my Mac called F.lux, which pegged my screen's color temperature to the time of day. The result? Less eye strain, and a lot of orange-tinted Netflix. Then last year Apple added a feature called "Night Shift" to iOS, which mirrored this functionality, after shutting down a version of F.lux for iOS.

Well, now Apple’s Night Shift is coming to macOS. It just popped up in the latest 10.12.4 beta of Sierra, which is supposed to land alongside iOS 10.3. It's always a little sad to see an ingenious bit of software from a small upstart be copied by the Apple juggernaut ("Sherlocking," as it's called, due to Apple's notorious creation of Sherlock in response to an existing search product called Watson). Still, I eventually uninstalled F.lux because it was a little buggy, and I found living with a blue screen preferable to having my screen flash between orange and blue on occasion. So maybe I’ll actually use Apple’s implementation.

F.lux still exists for Android, Linux, and Windows (Microsoft is actually looking at including blue light reduction in Windows 10), so maybe it will live on. If not, at least it will be fondly remembered by me as the app that convinced me how horrible and life-sucking blue light really is.

Watch These 19 Chinese Buildings Turn To Dust In 10 Seconds

Chaos in any shape and form is music to our generation’s ears. Thus today, we present a video of a real-time massive destruction of the sky-high buildings in China that collapsed into rubble and dust.

Recently, 19 buildings in total, each one being seven to 12 stories high were simultaneously imploded in a beautiful pandemonium to make way for a new and improved business center in Hankou, Hubei, central China. The most surprising part of all was that everything happened within 10 seconds and was conducted just after the stroke of midnight on Sunday, 22 January 2017 given the hustle and bustle of the area during the day.


The implosion is reportedly the largest ever in China, taking down 15 hectares in area. The structures required more than 5 tons of explosives to be placed in 120,000 locations, resulting in a massive blast adjacent to an operational train line.

Zoom in on the crowd in CNN’s inauguration gigapixel portrait

Gigapixel imagery can capture an incredible amount of detail, whether it’s a stunt for a car promotion or if it’s used to capture every detail in fine art. CNN has released a new image of yesterday’s Presidential inauguration, allowing you to take in every detail of the event.

These sorts of pictures have been taken before: The Washington Post and The New York Times released massive pictures of President Obama’s inauguration in 2013, which highlighted notable attendees or allowed visitors to tag themselves. The CNN image only allows you to zoom in on just a handful of people, including President Trump, Presidents Obama, the Supreme Court, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and others.

The image also allows you to pan across the crowd, and the resolution is just good enough to make out Make America Great Again on the sea of red hats in attendance — at least in the first couple of sections.

Mark Zuckerberg has a small army of Facebook employees who delete comments on his page

Mark Zuckerberg’s personal Facebook page looks unusually good for a busy CEO. He’s posted heartwarming photos of his family, engaging statuses, and amusing videos. He’s even sometimes responded to random commenters’ thoughts. What a guy. But if anyone was under the delusion that Zuckerberg toils away every night keeping his Facebook fresh, Bloomberg Businessweek is here to crush those dreams.

Zuckerberg relies on a team of at least 12 people to delete harassing comments and spam from his page while an additional team manages his communications and writes his posts and speeches, Bloomberg reports. Facebook also employs personal photographers to capture Zuckerberg in the wild. One of those photographers, Charles Ommanney, previously covered the refugee crisis in Syria for The Washington Post. No, Zuckerberg doesn’t run a country, just a social media platform with a billion users.

We know Zuckerberg, the guy who wants to bring internet to the developing world with Facebook-branded drones, has a bit of an ego issue. Have you seen The Social Network? But it’s wild that he employs a massive team to take care of his personal page, although again, it’s not completely unexpected. His page clearly serves as his primary vessel for interacting with the community and ensuring people see the full potential of his platform.

With Facebook suffering from a deluge of fake news, the company’s drone being put under investigation for a structural failure, and Oculus going to court over allegations of stealing trade secrets, it’s cringeworthy to learn that so many human resources are dedicated to keeping Zuckerberg’s Facebook page looking perfect.

This Is What Happens If You Try To Open the Emergency Exit Door Of An Airplane During Flight

What if we tell you about someone who opened the emergency exit door mid-flight? You would obviously say that even the thought is absurd. But what if someone plans to do that in real and gets successful in doing so. Here is the answer for you:

If that someone is a super human capable of applying three to four tons of force, then you can quickly open the door. Otherwise, the doors employed in aircraft are plug doors. Such doors only open when there is a significant pressure differential.

At high altitudes, the insides of the plane are pressurized, and the pressure on the hatch door is about three to four tons. They are designed to open only towards the inside, which is the area of high pressure.

When the plane is depressurized, only then is it possible to open this door. But even then, the pressure on the door is about 800 pounds.

The only way the door can open is by an accident where the door gets damaged; it’ll be super noisy, scary and well you’d have a very hard time breathing.

Oh and in case you are thinking of attempting to open the door on your next flight for fun don’t do it. Even though the door won’t open the authorities will report you to police and well you might get fined like a man in China did, only $30,000.

Facebook will test 'fake news' filtering in Germany

Facebook users will soon be able to flag news stories as fake and the social network may subsequently label the stories as "disputed" in a test of fake news filtering tools starting soon in Germany.

The test will send user-flagged stories to Correctiv, a third-party fact checker. If the fact checker finds they are unreliable, the story will be de-prioritized in Facebook's news feed algorithm, meaning that fewer people see the story in their feed, according to the Financial Times. 

“Our focus is on Germany right now but we’re certainly thinking through what countries will unveil next,” a Facebook spokesperson told the Financial Times.

The Facebook test comes as Germany has had its own "fake news" problem, including one false viral story that said that Germany's oldest church was set on fire.

German officials had previously threatened internet companies like Facebook with prosecution under strict libel and slander laws if they did not curb "hate speech" and other fake news on their platforms. 

"We need to fully utilize all the legal authority at our disposal," Heiko Mass, Germany's Justice Minister, said in December.

The proliferation of misleading and false news stories on Facebook has been a heated point of debate in the US as well, with some studies suggesting that clearly false stories — like one about the Pope endorsing President-elect Donald Trump before the election — were more widely read and distributed than truthful stories.

Some observers have said that "fake news" contributed to Trump's election. President Obama called fake stories on Facebook a "dust cloud of nonsense" and "crazy conspiracy theorizing."

Facebook currently does not use a fake news filtering system in the US. Facebook did not immediately return a request for comment. 

You can now buy a handgun that looks like a smartphone and police are worried

European police have been warned to remain vigilant as a gun disguised as a mobile phone goes on sale in the US. The Ideal Conceal pistol, a .380 calibre handgun that can be folded up to look like a generic smartphone, will go on sale in the coming months and is expected to be imported illegally into Europe.

Created by Minnesota-based manufacturer Ideal Conceal, the double-barrelled pistol can carry two bullets and comes complete with laser sights. The pistol grip can be folded upwards to disguise the weapon as an unassuming mobile phone, leading it to be dubbed the "iPhone gun".

According to The Times, Ideal Conceal has already received 12,000 pre-orders for the handgun, which costs $395 (£325, €375) and is due to begin shipping during the first quarter of 2017. Belgian police, who are already on high alert following a spate of terrorist attacks in Europe in recent months, were issued a warning over the weekend that the gun is expected to turn up on the continent via illegal imports.

"To the eye, nothing can distinguish it from a mobile telephone," the police alert read, according to local newspaper Dernière Heure. "Most people possess a smartphone, meaning that it can pass completely overlooked."

According to its manufacturer, the Ideal Conceal pistol has been designed to "hide in plain sight" and easily fits into a purse or back pocket, making it "virtually undetectable". The gun fires high-velocity ammunition, meaning it can be discharged with speed and is hammerless so that the pistol does not have to be "cocked" before being fired.

"In today's day and age, carrying a concealed pistol has become a necessity," Ideal Conceal's website reads.

"The idea for Ideal Conceal follows the present-day demand for handguns that people can carry on a day to day basis, in a manner that makes carrying a gun easy to do. From soccer moms to professionals of every type, this gun allows you the option of not being a victim."

The Ideal Conceal pistol was originally supposed to launch in 2016, however, an update posted to the company's Facebook page by founder Kirk Kjellberg on 5 January revealed that it had run into production delays.

In July last year, a passenger travelling through Stansted Airport in Essex was stopped by police for carrying an iPhone case designed to look like a gun.

Pakistan Successfully Tests First Nuclear Capable Submarine Launched Cruise Missile
