‘Riddick’ Trailer: It’s Vin Versus the Whole Khaki-Colored World
Author: Brittany Turner
Born from a muddy CGI womb cradled amid Ghosts of Mars, 300, and a Sega CD cutscene from Sewer Shark, Riddick returns Vin Diesel to his role as a muscle-bound mole-man and drops him on a desolate, entirely Vin Diesel-colored planet. There, both bounty hunters and the even more dangerous native fauna threaten his existence, and Vin Diesel lifts his goggles real cool-like, like you can tell he’s imagining Yello’s “Oh Yeah” is playing.
Here’s the trailer. If you don’t remember the last couple Riddick movies, don’t worry about it. This doesn’t seem to rely too heavily on understanding that mythology. Just on understanding Vin Diesel’s groan language.

This is the Modem World: Nothing is new. It’s been done before.
Author: Randy Miller
Each week Joshua Fruhlinger contributes This is the Modem World, a column dedicated to exploring the culture of consumer technology.
It’s funny how things come back around. When I was growing up in the ’80s, music was looking back at the ’50s and ’60s and re-creating it into some of the best bands the world has seen. Paul Weller wouldn’t have become the songwriter he is had he not grown up on the Beatles. Likewise, Paul McCartney wouldn’t have become the genius that he is had he not been raised on Little Richard. And now, bands are looking back at the ’80s and re-doing that explosive era – with both good and bad results that I will not go into here lest I make new enemies.
Culture is cyclical, and we’re beginning to see that technology is bound to follow that same rinse-and-repeat formula.

So It’s Come To This: Quadrocopter Used To Deliver Engagement Ring During Marriage Proposal
Author: Ian Simpson
This is a video of Jason Do n’tknowhislastname proposing to his greatly pregnant girlfriend Christina Soontobedo n’tknowhislastname with an engagement ring flown in on a quadrocopter. All of it takes location in Alamo Square Park (aka the park from the Capacity opening credits) in San Francisco. Admittedly the time getting at the proposal is pretty sweet, I simply do not understand how the quadrocopter fits in. It simply appears to be one of those, “Just due to the fact that you can” kind of circumstances. That would be like me asking my girlfriend if she ‘d mind making me a sandwich and then having a ring poking out the top of the peanut butter which is actually an excellent idea although nothing like this quadrocopter one and probably exactly what I’m visiting do and you better not take it initially. \* pounding table \* You hear me ?! Those ‘PB & Jelly Proposal’ Youtube hits are mine.

Author: Tiffany Shoman
On April 3rd 1973, Martin Cooper made the first mobile contact the nine-inch (and 28-ounce) Motorola DynaTAC.

It’s World Backup Day: no time like the present to protect the past
Author: Randy Miller
There are two kinds of computer owners: those that backup their data, and those who will backup after they lose something irreplaceable. It’s that last group for whom World Backup Day exists, and the special occasion has returned for a third year to make sure we all wind up in that first, very responsible camp. Thankfully, it’s easier than ever to have at least some kind of safety net. Along with ridiculously high-capacity external hard drives, both Mac and Windows users have simple built-in software to make backup a set-it-and-forget-it affair. No money or room for an extra drive on the desk? No problem: cloud storage is ubiquitous, and even includes unlimited options. Mobile users have it a little easier with a myriad of Apple, Google and Microsoft cloud services, although there’s third-party options in that space, too. In short, you’ve got few excuses to skimp out when it comes to safeguards, and enough choices to seriously consider using two or more — which might be wise in this dangerous era of meteorite showers and brick-tossing robots.

So It’s Come To This: Beer Pong Arcade Machines
Author: Nancy Kennedy
Because drinking beer is actually the least fun thing about beer pong, arcade manufacturer Bay Tek Games is releasing Beer Pong Master, a beer pong arcade game with zero alcohol. So…it’s not really beer pong is it? It’s just pong. Jk jk, just a waste of a dollar.
Normal beer pong mechanics are in play here, but you have a set amount of time (our machine was registered at 60-second games) to sink as many balls in the still-lit cups as possible. All 10 cups begin completely lit at the start of the timer, and once your first ball connects to the rim of any cup, the clock begins winding down until you’ve sunk a ball in every cup and dimmed all the lights, or 60 seconds has passed, whichever comes first
Man, this kind of makes me want to go play carnival games. Yeah, and I’m gonna win a big prize — none of those small or medium stuffed animals for me. I’m gonna be the guy carrying the GIANT BEAR. Fun fact: did you know that nobody ever actually wins the big stuffed animals at amusement parks and the people you see walking around with them are just employees paid to do that? Well that’s true and don’t even try to say you’ve won one or know somebody who has because that makes you a dirty liar.
Hit the jump for a video of the game being played.
