It’s expected that 88% of AOM members — which include brands like Samsung, Google, Microsoft, and Apple — will adopt AV2 within two years. The AV1 video codec is about to make

Someone Finally Got the Note and Fixed This ‘Beetlejuice’ Sign

If you’re a movie prop replica collector, you know exactly which Beetlejuice sign we’re talking about. For years, as a Beetlejuice decor hunter, there has been one item I refused to buy on principle because it had one glaring mistake: it was not in-universe accurate. I’ve bought the Adam and Barbara monster face hanging decor, the inflatable Sandworm for my lawn, and the “Here Lies Betelgeuse” tombstone—but never the iconic light-up sign due to the fact that it always featured the ghost with th

Apple’s hardware design chief said yesterday the company knew it would be hard for some to choose between the new iPhone Air and the iPhone 17 Pro or Pro Max. That isn’t true for everyone, of course. For some, the decision will be very straightforward – but I can see how it could be tricky for others … If I think back to some of the tech purchases I’ve made over the years, there have been many cases where the decision was straightforward.

This Is the First Time Scientists Have Seen Decisionmaking in a Brain

wired.com Jorge Garay 2025-10-02 06:00:00

Neuroscientists from around the world have worked in parallel to map, for the first time, the entire brain activity of mice while they were making decisions. This achievement involved using electrodes inserted inside the brain to simultaneously record the activity of more than half a million neurons distributed across 95 percent of the rodents’ brain volume. Thanks to the image obtained, the researchers were able to confirm an already theorized architecture of thought: that there is no single r

Horror Maze Game ‘Dark Deception’ Is Becoming a Horror Movie

The next video game to join the list of those coming to the silver screen is Glowstick Entertainment’s Dark Deception.

What It's Like to Work at a Body Farm

Somewhere out in the countryside, hidden behind a copse of trees, are fields full of dead human bodies. These corpses have been strategically laid out in rows, naked as the day they were born, and left to the mercy of the elements until all that’s left of them are bones. It sounds like a scene out of a horror film, but these places are real. They’re called taphonomic research facilities, or sometimes “body farms”—sites where forensic scientists study how the human body decomposes. (Don’t worry,
