Microsoft brought the Edge browser to iOS and Android. Is this a worthwhile addition to your mobile device or just another place for more people to ignore the successor to the Internet Explorer?   RIP 2011 Mac MiniApple has made it official. They’ve deemed the 2011 Mac Mini to be “Obsolete”. Though the Mac Mini is still listed on the product road map for the future, things aren’t looking good for those Mac Mini fans.   New organic material that generates electricity So those silly scientists are at it again, this time it’s Swiss Scientists from EMPA, that have created a new organic material that generates it’s own electricity when stretched and compressed. This is fueling speculation on it’s possible medical uses but also concern over if we are seeing a natural transition for humans becoming cyborgs.   The Switch, good enough equals winning With subpar graphics and lesser tech than it’s biggest rivals from Sony and Microsoft, is the Nintendo Switch winning by being just good enough? #PowerFur   Nintendo ups the lootbox game with real world upgradesSo in a truly “Are you for real?” move, Nintendo is announcing a new cereal that looks an awful lot like Lucky Charms. It’s called simply “Super Mario Cereal” and hits shelves Dec. 11th. But what’s crazy is that the box the cereal comes in is NFC enabled and if Switch/Super Mario Odessey players tap the cereal box on their console it will unlock some minor loot in game, like extra coins or hearts.   Marvel Studio’s  Avengers : Infinity War Official Trailer Drops...Jaws Around the World. Let’s be honest, this looks incredibly insane. So good but could be almost too much to take in with ALL of those heroes on screen. But three things stand out in this trailer. #1) Chris Pratt’s `Stache is killing it at the end of the trailer, #2) Cap’s beard is being talked about a crazy amount all over the internet so it seems it should be called Avengers: Facial Hair War instead. #3) Adam makes a good point, #whereisHawkeye? The Rated R Hellboy Reboot gets a release date! Mark your calendars, Jan.11th, 2019 will see the Rated R reboot of the popular franchise starring David Harbour of Stranger Things fame. The first photos of the character look pretty amazing.   Sharing Things This Sesame Street parody of Stranger Things is absolutely brilliant.   The Weekly Garnish Meet “Furlexa” See what happens when you mix a Furby toy with Alexa from Amazon. https://youtu.be/aCOsM-4NEKs   Transient Check out this awesome video from Dustin Farrell, a Director of Photography, in which he puts together sweet slow motion lighting storms.
