Following along with their 30th Anniversary, Jordan Brand has a few more Air Jordan 5s lined up to launch. Known as Midnight Navy but are also being called Hornets due to it's resemblance to the NBA team. While an official release won't happen until May, we have some more images to hold you over.

The Midnight Navy Air Jordan 5 receives one of it's nicknamed dressed across the uppers in a soft and what looks to be premium leather, something we now expect from JB since they have been remastering pretty much all the releases. Turquoise blue can be seen on the midsole, inside of the tongue and Jumpman logos on the sole and outside of the tongue. Equipped with 3M and a translucent sole.

You can grab the midnight navy aka Hornets Air Jordan 5 on May 2nd 2015 for $190.

Ale Asylum to distribute cans in April

I have been a fan of this beer since the release of Enjoy By IPA 2.13.13 and will pick it up whenever it comes to my region. With the 4.20.15 batch, I was extremely excited to see it being released in 6-Packs...of which I scored a 6'r today. Although the flavor is as 'dank' as I remember, the nose seems to be completely different with overpowering vegetal aromas of onion, garlic and freshly cut grass. For the last few batches, I was getting huge tropical notes (think Hawiian Punch) on the...

Slovenia isn't exactly the heart of the skateboarding scene, but it's often the people furthest removed from the industry that offer the most refreshing perspectives. Slovenian photographer Rob Dragan has just released a new photo set highlighting not merely the action of skateboarding, but also encapsulating the environments in which it takes place. Through his line-driven composition, Dragan echoes the internal peace achieved through skating with the expansive surroundings. One of the photos from the series – which features Dragan's brother Rok – has already won a Canon photo contest Slovenia. Check out the set above.

It isn’t just Elon Musk and your neighbor with the fully functioning bomb shelter who think the robot revolution is not only inevitable, but that computers will win and ultimately, could possibly enslave humanity as a result: Apple co-founder Steve “The Woz” Wozniak is fully confident that artificial intelligence is going to triumph over mankind someday.

“Computers are going to take over from humans, no question,” Wozniak told the Australian Financial Review in an interview about the Apple Watch and self-driving cars.

Though he at first was skeptical of predictions that technology could soon mean machines would surpass humans in the near future, he says he’s become convinced that those predictions are coming true.

“Like people including Stephen Hawking and Elon Musk have predicted, I agree that the future is scary and very bad for people,” he says. “If we build these devices to take care of everything for us, eventually they’ll think faster than us and they’ll get rid of the slow humans to run companies more efficiently.”

He notes that we could end up as gods or akin to family pets, and while he isn’t sure which way it’s going to go, “well I’m going to treat my own pet dog really nice.”

There is some hope out there for us, however, as he says there could be a cap to the burgeoning intelligence of artificial life with the end of Moore’s Law, a pattern that sees computer processing speeds doubling every two years.

By 2020, transistors will have shrunk to a single atom, Moore’s Law suggests, at which point it would be impossible for them to get smaller without scientists developing quantum computers to control their manufacture at a subatomic level.

So far, that’s not likely, Wozniak points out, as researchers haven’t been able to get quantum computing to a usable level for humans. But still, we should be prepared to face our robot overlords, just in case the technology does progress beyond that point.

“I hope it does come, and we should pursue it because it is about scientific exploring,” Wozniak said. “But in the end we just may have created the species that is above us.”
