Exoskeletons in the workplace

Once again, technology is extending what the human body can do. There's plenty of engineering involved, optimized for business uses of physical augmentation: power boosts, kinetic energy storage, and "augmented joints" that can lock on demand and distribute static loads while the worker is in an awkward position. It’s business transformation with real transformers. @Enterprisenxt

James Cameron Likes Blomkamp's Alien 5 Idea, Says Sigourney Weaver

According to Sigourney Weaver, James Cameron was a fan of Neill Blomkamp’s Alien 5 plans. Blomkamp’s plans for the sequel ultimately fell through, but not due to any lack of support from the director of Aliens. If anything, Weaver and Cameron would still like to see Blomkamp’s vision make it onto the big screen. Back in 2015, Blomkamp – who is best known for District 9 – was signed on by Foxto create Alien 5. The film would have been a direct sequel to Aliens, thereby eliminating the events that happened in Alien 3 and Alien: Resurrection. Not much was ever revealed about the plot, but concept art showed that Ripley would have reunited

Robert Downey Jr. Celebrates Halloween With Iron Man And Spider-Man Pumpkins

Avengers love Halloween too, and the hero that kicked off the Marvel Cinematic Universe is celebrating with some superhero pumpkins. The movie world has changed considerably since Robert Downey Jr's turn as Tony Stark in the original Iron Man, and all these years later it is still going strong. His Marvel alter ego has also managed to work its way into his decorations for Halloween this year, though as he revealed in a new photo he also had some help from his pal Spider-Man.

Metro 2033 Author Calls The Witcher's Andrzej Sapkowski An "Old Fool"

Oh my! It seems two experts of the written word will have a war of words of their own. The first shot comes from Dmitry Glukhovsky, author of the Metro 2033 series of novels. Glukhovsky slammed the author of The Witcher series, Andrzej Sapkowski, for the latter’s recent demand of $16 million from CD Projekt Red. Among the criticisms Glukhovsky dished out were that the brains behind The Witcher novels was an “old fool” and that he’s “an ungrateful schmuck.” The video interview below is entirely in Russian but we’ll give a short transcript of the juicy bits.

The 10 scariest Netflix original movies

Halloween night can be a frightening time. Only a fool would dare leave the house and brave the inky black outside, teeming as it is with ghouls, goblins and all manner of undesirable. The safest move would be to stay in, where all a person has to worry about is whether that sound – there it is again! – is the washing machine or a murderer closing in on his prey. In that spirit, the Guardian has assembled a guide to the spookiest films produced and/or released by Netflix for those with a taste for thrills and chills.

Bad news for Marvel fans as Netflix quietly cancels 'Luke Cage' and 'Iron Fist'

It is a truth universally acknowledged — when a company (or politician) wants to bury an embarrassing story, it's released on Friday afternoon, after most people have tuned out for the weekend. The practice has become so widespread it even has a name: the Friday night news dump. Netflix must’ve really wanted to bury the news that it was canceling “Iron Fist” and “Luke Cage” — two of the four original TV series commissioned from the Marvel Cinematic Universe in 2013 — because news of the former broke first last Friday, Oct. 12 at 9 p.m. ET, and the latter didn't become widely known until this Friday night at 10 p.m. ET.

Marvel's Other Netflix Shows Could Be in Trouble According to New Data

Marvel Cinematic Universe fans are still reveling in the awesomeness that is Daredevil season 3 - even as they're still reeling from the dual announcements that both Luke Cage and Iron Fist have been cancelled, with no plans for either show to get a season 3 order. While some Marvel fans are holding out hope that Luke Cage and Iron Fist will return in a Heroes for Hire series, there are a lot of other fans who see this as the beginning of the end for the Marvel Netflix universe, as a whole.
