Check out the first trailer for All Cheerleaders Die, in which T&A meet teenage revenge fantasies. In a nutshell, four "mean girl" cheerleaders are killed — but the school goth girl brings them back to life, except now they're super-powered and bent on revenge. Looks like stupid good fun.

Grab the tissues, because this story is gonna make your eyes leak.

Miles is 5 years old. He has leukemia. He also loves superheroes, because they give him strength.

All Miles wants is to fight crime in Gotham City and the Make-a-Wish Foundation in the Bay Area is making that happen.

On November 15, the mayor of San Francisco, the police chief, and thousands of volunteers will transform San Francisco into Gotham City, just for Miles!

Miles will hit the streets in a Batmobile with an adult Batman sidekick, rescuing citizens and fighting villains…and eating burgers.

From the Make-a-Wish Bay Area:

After rescuing a damsel in distress from the cable car tracks in Nob Hill, and capturing the Riddler in the act of robbing a downtown vault, Batman will eat his lunch at the Burger Bar in San Francisco – directly above Union Square. While at Burger Bar, he will get a call on his batphone to go to the window – where he will look down and see a huge group of volunteers jumping up and down asking for Batman’s help. Why?

Because the Penguin will be kidnapping a famous Gotham City mascot! The getaway car will be visible on Union Square (a convertible so that everyone can see what is happening), and the chase will be on!

After catching the Penguin, Batman will make his final stop at City Hall, where the Mayor and the Police Chief of Gotham City will thank him and give him the key to the city. We plan on having hundreds of volunteers and donors collected to cheer and thank our Batman!

Mad Moxxi isn’t the sort of person you want to cross. Even though she can be nice, she’s got a sadistic side. I’m not sure about the personality, but cosplayer Fox is a match for the physical side the Borderlands 2 character. She not only has the costume details, makeup, and attitude down, she also has a perfect set for these photos. The background adds a whole other layer to the outfit.

More pics after the break.

Thanks for the tip, Fox! Send your cosplay photos to tips@fashionablygeek.com.

Children love to tear bugs limb from limb. Eventually, however, the rush of sadism gives way to the pity one has for the lifeless form crumbled beneath their hands. The fragility of life, the small plane between being and nothingness has been revealed to the young individual and they turn to the heavens and reflect on the next few decades of struggling to accept their demise... Or they forget all that and strap on an electrode and control the insect's body through a cell phone App.

Western Digital has released a 6TB hard drive, billed as the highest capacity in a 3.5″ model. The secret behind the added storage is helium.

The UltraStar He⁶ is produced by HGST, a Western Digital subsidiary. The space in which the disk platters spin is filled with helium rather than air. Because helium is seven times less dense than air, there’s less drag.

That means the drive requires around 23 percent less power to run and is quieter, cooler and lighter. There’s also less turbulence inside the drive, meaning its possible to get seven disk platters in the space rather than four or five, which brings the extra capacity.

Though the concept is simple enough, the challenge in manufacturing was dealing with the problem that helium is more prone to leaking. HGST says it developed a completely hermetic seal to deal with that issue. One fringe benefit is that the drive is also watertight and could be used in liquid-based cooling systems.

HGST also notes that the helium doesn’t pose any risks and the drive contains less helium than a balloon.

For now the drive will be aimed at business rather than consumers. Organizations including HP, Netflix, Huawei and CERN have all been in talks with HGST about using helium drives in settings such as data centers.
