Justin Woodward started out as one of the small cogs in the big wheel of the game industry. He studied game art and design in college. Then he got a job at a triple-A game company as a 3D background artist. But he decided he would rather be a game designer instead of being one among many 3D artists. He started his own graphic design studio, doing tasks like logo design that could connect him with entrepreneurs. He learned how to fund projects and create businesses. He went on to create an indie

You Can Now Buy a Sample of Ozzy Osbourne's DNA in Twelve Easy Payments

A kitschy new brand partnership between John "Ozzy" Osbourne and Liquid Death, the canned water brand, is releasing a limited run of cans of iced tea infused with DNA from the Prince of Darkness himself. Sadly, the iced tea is long gone. The cans have all been chugged and crushed by Osbourne himself, leaving "behind trace DNA from his saliva that you can now own," according to Liquid Death's website.

Trump EPA May Undo Ban on Cancer-Causing Asbestos

gizmodo.com Aj Dellinger 2026-03-03 04:50:07

In 2024, the Biden administration issued a ban on the last type of asbestos still used in the United States due to its links to cancer. The Trump administration isn’t so sure that we need to protect people from such things. Earlier this week, the New York Times reported that Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency will delay the ban on the material and reconsider the rule entirely. Because, hey, when has a little cancer ever hurt anyone? The material at the core of this back-and-forth policymak

Today’s laptops are almost comically bereft of ports. They have to be thin and portable, right? So that must mean they don’t need connectivity. At least, that’s kind of what it seems that companies might be thinking, which is a bit silly.

Located near the town of Lisbjerg, the burial site has yielded a number of spectacular objects hinting at ties with Danish royalty. “The burial site is most likely connected to the Viking-era manor in Lisbjerg, which is less than a kilometer from the burial site,” Mads Ravn, an archaeologist from Moesgaard and Viking Age expert, explained in the M

Speaking of that bottom bezel, you’ll notice the camera dead center below the screen—normally a very odd place for a webcam. But that’s because this camera isn’t for Zoom calls. Instead, it’s for tracking your head in 3D space to create the monitor's claims of “spatial audio.” Using beamforming technology, the speakers can create virtual surround sound in compatible games and movies. It’s not perfect, but it can add an extra immersive element. (It only works with one person at a time.) While th
