Since 2003, I've tracked the online distribution of Oscar screeners, and every year, the piracy scene manages to release nearly every film by nomination day. Last year, all but three films were leaked in DVD quality by nomination day.
The tide may be turning. There's still a month out before the Academy Awards, but so far, fewer Oscar screeners leaked online this year — only 14 out of 34 nominated films, the lowest percentage ever. And they're taking twice as long to leak — a median 21 days after theatrical release, up from 11 days the previous year. -

Have you noticed, he says, that when you recall your first kisses, early birthdays, your earliest summer vacations, they seem to be in slow motion? "I know when I look back on a childhood summer, it seems to have lasted forever," he says.
That's because when it's the "first", there are so many things to remember. The list of encoded memories is so dense, reading them back gives you a feeling that they must have taken forever. But that's an illusion. "It's a construction of the brain," says Eagleman. "The more memory you have of something, you think, 'Wow, that really took a long time!' -

These detectors produce images of the cosmos not in color, but in shades of black and white.

The clouds of Venus hold droplets of sulphuric acid, and billions of years ago there may have been pools of the stuff on the planet's surface. Though pretty destructive to bags of water like ourselves, it could be a refreshing draught for beings with the right biochemistry. These acid-dwellers would have to be formed of chemically resistant materials. "Multicellular Venusians living in liquid sulphuric acid could have veins made of glass," Benner suggests, conjuring up visions of delicate, transparent glassware creatures, rolling carefully over the Venusian rocks. But glass is not the only option: more mechanically robust materials would also fit the bill. "There are flexible polymers that are acid-stable, such as Teflon, polyethylene and silicone," Benner points out.

3D printing is maturing quickly, and 3D scanning isn’t far behind, meaning that material objects can be stored and transmitted as digital data. Digital data can be shared in many different ways, and – as the recording industry has learned the hard way – illicit filesharing is, for all intents and purposes, an unclosable Pandora’s box. So what’s to stop people trading, sharing and printing off copies of copyright-controlled objects – shoes, clothing, homeware, car parts, whatever?
The answer – nothing. Nothing at all. -
“The second difference between stray dogs and wolves is that the dogs, on average, are much less aggressive and a good deal more tolerant of one another,” says Poyarkov. Wolves stay strictly within their own pack, even if they share a territory with another. A pack of dogs, however, can hold a dominant position over other packs and their leader will often “patrol” the other packs by moving in and out of them. His observations have led Poyarkov to conclude that this leader is not necessarily the strongest or most dominant dog, but the most intelligent – and is acknowledged as such. The pack depends on him for its survival.

Sought after since the beginning of recorded history, gold remains a highly valued metal, reaching record highs recently, climbing over 135% in value in the past year alone. The recent rise in the price of gold comes just as annual worldwide mine production has decreased – down by nearly 8% since 2001. In human history, only 161,000 tons of gold have been mined – more than half of that extracted in just the past 50 years. Collected here are a handful of recent photographs of people searching for, mining, rediscovering, celebrating, buying and selling gold.
