LA Noire’s Cole Phelps Falling Down The Steps [Cosplay]
by Amy Ratcliffe
Every game has its glitches, and one of LA Noire‘s is Cole Phelps falling down the stairs. It’s pretty funny and has become a popular animated gif. The blooper is so amusing that one cosplayer decided to dress like Phelps and re-enact the stair scene in two different poses. Yes, Tumblr user Lady of Rohan is completely awesome. She even gets the angles just right. I love the internet.
See part two of the picture and the Cole Phelps gif after the break.

Round Rock ISD websites hacked, shut down
by Newsroom
Darendukeslol
we used to do this from the computers in RRHS library before class.
An Austin-area school district has shut down its websites that were hacked and the education updates replaced with obscene images and vulgar language.
The Round Rock Independent School District websites were closed Sunday. A message on the main site said "All Round Rock ISD websites are currently unavailable" and apologized for the inconvenience.
Round Rock police are helping investigate the hacking that was discovered late Saturday night. District spokeswoman JoyLynn Occhiuzzi says no student information was compromised.

A male birth control pill that causes a temporary vasectomy
by George Dvorsky
DarendukesIt's the end of 'walking through spiderwebs' as we know it.
It's the 21st century and men still don't have a birth control pill to call their own. But now, scientists from Britain and Australia have figured out a way to prevent sperm from escaping during the moment of ejaculation — and without affecting sexual function.

A Game You'd Go To The Ends of the Earth To Play
by Stephen Totilo on Kotaku, shared by Charlie Jane Anders to io9
DarendukesAndroid only. I just downloaded it. Seems cool. Gonna go hack the portal that is at the Arboretum pond across from my office after work.
On December 4, when you were doing whatever you were doing, a gamer who goes by the name of Artio was apparently chartering a plane to fly her to a remote town in Alaska. Why? So she could make a particularly powerful move in the video game Ingress.

Meet Cubli, a motorized box that balances perfectly on ONE CORNER
by Robert T. Gonzalez
DarendukesHoly shit. In the video it shows it propping itself up on one corner. Amazing to see.
Cubli is a clever little cube that uses reaction wheels to jump, balance and "walk" across stationary and dynamic surfaces alike. It reminds us a lot of MIT's M-Blocks, only bigger, and... well... more balance-y.

Tom Cruise's war is endless in the first Edge of Tomorrow trailer
by Rob Bricken
DarendukesI like the idea. Tom Cruise... not so much.
Tom Cruise is cursed to repeat his life in Edge of Tomorrow, but he isn't stuck on Groundhog Day. He's stuck in a weapons-laden powersuit, in the middle of an alien invasion, where he dies... and then he wakes up to do it all over again. The first trailer reveals that if nothing else, the action scenes will be spectacular.

DarendukesWhat?
[An Indonesian sulfur miner carries a goat's head in as part of an annual offering ceremony on the Ijen volcano: first they slaughter the goat, then bury the head in the crater of the volcano for good luck. The acidity of the water in the crater is apparently high enough to dissolve clothing. Photo by Ulet Ifansasti via Getty.]
