'28 Years Later' Director Danny Boyle Says Shooting on iPhones Let Him Capture 'Startling' Violence

wired.com Jake Kleinman 2025-09-24 02:00:00

In 2001, Danny Boyle had a problem. To make his new postapocalyptic horror movie, 28 Days Later, he had to capture footage of a then-unknown Cillian Murphy wandering the abandoned streets of London. Shutting down the city wasn’t an option for the low-budget production, however, and neither was re-creating it on a studio set. Instead, the 68-year-old director made a surprising choice: He filmed with lightweight, low-resolution Canon digital cameras. The technology, which was cutting-edge at the t

wired.com Christopher Null 2025-09-24 02:00:00

Concha Labs has been making over-the-counter hearing aids since 2017, marketing just one product—the Concha Sol. The hearing aids have a familiar design, a classic behind-the-ear configuration with a simple rocker control on the back of each. Concha particularly touts its customizability: The Sol come in your choice of four colors, and can be configured with lead wires in four different sizes, though it should be noted that many competing hearing aids have lead wires that can be adjusted on the

The 9 Best Pillows (2025) Tested and Reviewed by WIRED

You might think a pillow is a pillow. It just has to be soft and fit under your head, right? Your head, neck, and back disagree. Getting a good night’s sleep can depend heavily on your pillow, so when choosing one, here are a few key questions to ask. What kind of sleeper are you? Do you sleep on your back, side, or stomach? Do you stay relatively still, or do you toss and turn a lot? Do you usually have one pillow under your head, or do you cocoon yourself into a pillow chrysalis? This is prob

Whistleblower warning: 2FA codes sent via SMS are trivially easy to intercept

Weak Link: Two-factor authentication is designed to harden device security and make unauthorized access even trickier for bad actors. In the imperfect world we live in, however, there's almost always a weak link, and one popular delivery method for 2FA is no exception. Many implementations of two-factor authentication involve sending a one-time passcode to the end user via SMS. Once entered, the user is logged in and it's business as usual.

Cannabis scientists are trying to find a predictable, reliable product (2020)

As more of the compounds in cannabis are isolated, a few companies are looking at ways to eliminate one stubborn source of variability: the plants themselves. Ebbu’s intellectual property includes a patent for using an inkjet printer to spit out cannabinoids and terpenes in precisely measured ratios determined by the user. Brought in from the black-market wilderness by deep-pocketed, consumer-savvy companies, cannabis may become just another designer drug. At INSA, the Jack Herer vape oil may b

There are a number of network protocols that we might refer to as text protocols, where we send a line of text to the server and it sends back a response. Perhaps I should call them CRLF protocols, to distinguish from protocols where we’re blasting JSON back and forth. To speed things up, it can be tempting to have the client send multiple requests without waiting for individual responses. This is called pipelining. Support varies by protocol.
