Sophie Turner — the British actress who portrays Game of Thrones‘ Sansa Stark — is swapping medieval-style fantasy for mutant sci-fi. Turner is set to play powerful psychic Jean Grey in the upcoming X-Men: Apocalypse, appearing for the first time alongside fellow mutant Jubilee, played by Lana Condor, in a picture shared on director Bryan Singer’s Instagram account.
It’s been reported that the new movie, which follows X-Men: First Class and last year’s Days of Future Past, is at least partially set in 1983, and Singer looks keen to evoke the fashion of the era. The first pictures of teleporting mutant Nightcrawler appeared earlier this week, showing the blue-skinned mutant sporting a clothing combo that Michael J. Fox’s Teen Wolf might…

Tesla has finally taken the wraps off Tesla Energy, its ambitious battery system that can work for homes, businesses, and even utilities. The system breaks down into two separate products: the Powerwall is a home battery system, that comes in a 10 kWh version for $ 3,500, or a 7 kWh model for $ 3,000. The unit is about three feet by four feet in size and six inches thick, and comes with integrated heat management and can fit either on the inside or outside of the wall of your home. The system is connected to the internet — Elon Musk said that the system can be used to create “smart microgrids” — and can be uses as a redundancy system, or potentially allow a home to go completely off the power grid entirely. “The whole thing is a system…

The writing has been on the wall for controversial music-sharing service Grooveshark for a long time, and now the service is gone for good. In a message posted to the official site, Grooveshark has expressed contrition over the way it conducted its business, says it’s settled with major record companies, and recommends users go to other services like Spotify or Beats Music.
The company’s full statement is below:
Dear music fans,
Today we are shutting down Grooveshark.
We started out nearly ten years ago with the goal of helping fans share and discover music. But despite best of intentions, we made very serious mistakes. We failed to secure licenses from rights holders for the vast amount of music on the service.
That was wrong. We…

The most interesting thing about Leica’s M Monochrom camera thus far hasn’t been what you can do with it, but what you can’t. When Leica introduced it three years ago, some people turned their heads sideways in confusion because it cost $ 7,950, yet could only shoot in black and white. In return, Leica promised tack-sharp photos that more closely emulated the look and feel of what you’d get from film cameras.
The idea panned out because Leica has returned with a new model of the Monochrom, dubbed the Type 246. It improves on a handful of features that were lacking in the first model, while adding high definition video recording and a live view preview of what’s being captured. That extends the camera beyond taking very nice stills, and…

Just like Skylanders, Disney Infinity is a game that lets you scan real toys into a video game. The first version mashed together characters from Disney movies, while version 2.0 added Marvel characters. Star Wars has long been expected to be the latest addition, and designer Jeff Bunker even hinted at it, telling The Verge that “I think we have a style that accommodates anything that comes our way.” The 3.0 set leaked by retailer Saturn shows a set that includes…

The first word that comes to mind when trying to review the Flip Ultra HD Camcorder is simply “simple”. This pocket-sized camcorder is so easy to use right out of the box that you simply point the camera and press the large button and start recording quality videos. The camera does everything else from figuring out the focus and the lighting to shooting video in high-definition.
When you have finished taking the video, simply flip out (thus the name) the convenient USB plug, connect it to your computer and watch the video right on your computer screen. The Flip Ultra HD Camcorder also includes some pretty cool software that uploads your video and allows you to edit then transfer your videos to YouTube, MySpace, or any other video friendly website on the net. Simply turn the camcorder on, press record and you will be taking quality HD videos in no time.
Since I am by no means an electronics guru or video wizard, my review of the Flip Ultra HD Camcorder focuses simply on how easy it is to take quality videos, with a pocket-friendly, easy to use, high-definition and inexpensive video camcorder. With that focus in mind, I can’t help but think about another way to describe this mini camcorder – “piece of cake”.
Changing the double A batteries or using the included rechargeable pack, using the built in software to edit, organize and share your videos, and even connecting the small device to your HD television are all a piece of cake. It is so easy to make quality videos that even I have been able to post some quality videos on YouTube for all my family to share.
The Ultra is the perfect camcorder for the person on the go. It’s the only camcorder I have found which fits into your pocket and is ready in a flash to capture those secret videos.
The Flip Ultra HD Camcorder is the latest and greatest pocket-sized camcorder. It is so easy to use and delivers high-quality, high-definition video, which you can easily upload to YouTube, MySpace or even watch on your HD television. For a complete overview and for more information, including the best internet prices, visit Flip Ultra HD Camcorder.

You’d think that Leica and Lomography would occupy opposite ends of the photographic spectrum, but the latter’s latest product brings the two together. The Lomo LC-A Minitar-1 Art Lens takes the glass from the Lomo LC-A, the iconic camera that launched Lomography, and puts it in a new lens compatible with Leica M-mount digital and film rangefinder cameras.
The LC-A Minitar-1 is fairly wide and fast at 32mm f/2.8, making it a good fit for street photography. Along with the optics, it uses the same zone focusing system as the LC-A, meaning you can focus quickly by flipping a four-way switch. Unlike the LC-A, though, this lens also gives you rangefinder coupling and manual aperture control. It’s extremely compact and is available in black…
