Abe Vigoda Dies at 94

NEW YORK (AP) — Character Abe Vigoda, whose leathery, sunken-eyed face made him ideal for playing the over-the-hill detective Phil Fish in the 1970s TV series “Barney Miller” and the doomed Mafia soldier in “The Godfather,” died Tuesday at age 94.

Vigoda’s daughter, Carol Vigoda Fuchs, told The Associated Press that Vigoda died Tuesday morning in his sleep at Fuchs’ home in Woodland Park, New Jersey. The cause of death was old age. “This man was never sick,” Fuchs said.

5 ways to send super-personalized cold emails

Cold messages are part and parcel of every recruiter’s day. It’s the way that we connect with new candidates, and we couldn’t survive without them.
What’s pretty shocking though is that almost 90 percent of these messages aren’t personalized!

Recruiting is all about relationships, and the boilerplate templates that most candidates receive are definitely not the best way to start new relationships.

Personalization can be pretty time consuming though, so we’ve broken down five easy…

Intel Gets Called Out Again For Their M.I.A. 3.0 X.Org Driver

An anonymous reader writes: The xf86-video-intel 3.0 DDX driver has been in development the past two and a half years without seeing an official release. The last development release even of xf86-video-intel 3.0 Git was 13 months ago with the xf86-video-intel 2.99.917 release.

Augmented Reality Rock Climbing Turns a Sport Into a Videogame

A few months ago, we showed you a video made by Brooklyn Boulders of the gym’s Augmented Reality rock climbing wall.

Now, Brooklyn Boulders is working with the creator of the game, Jon Cheng (a member who runs his startup Randoori) to implement it in their gyms.

Three Reasons Why Open Source Will Have A Great 2016

When Netscape released its Web browser’s source code to the public in 1998, it seemed like a Hail Mary move for a company embattled by Microsoft.

Now barely a week goes by without a commercial tech company announcing the launch of a new platform, app or extension—and its source code. Among them is Microsoft, a company whose then-CEO, Steve Ballmer, called the open-source Linux operating system a “cancer” in 2001.

In the last year we’ve seen Apple release the code behind the Swift programming language; Google, TensorFlow, a…

Droneboarding needs bigger drones or smaller humans

Okay, there’s a lot going on here so let’s break things down. Is it impractical to use quadcopters to tow a toddler on a snowboard? Yes, very. Did the battery on the drone in this video last long? Probably not. Did the kid go very fast? He’s barely moving. Is this a great idea? Of course, of course, of course.

Using a consumer grade drone to tow people on snow (or on water?) makes about as much sense as strapping a giant fan to someone’s back while they’re paragliding — but people do that and it looks like…

US Commerce Department wants courts to be kinder, gentler to file sharers

A US Department of Commerce task force recommended Thursday that Congress alter the Copyright Act in a bid that likely would reduce financial damages for file sharing copyright scofflaws.

The recommendations from the agency’s Internet Policy Task Force don’t call for doing away with the maximum $150,000 in damages available to rights holders per infringement. But if Congress adopts the task force’s recommendations, it’s doubtful there would be large awards, as one of the recommendations would require juries to…

Folding offshore wind turbines could power 10,000 US homes

Such “exascale” turbines, called segmented ultralight morphing rotors (SUMRs), are over six times the size of the largest existing models. Thanks to economies of scale, a single unit could power around 10,000 homes. “The U.S. has great offshore wind energy potential, but offshore installations are expensive, so larger turbines are needed to capture that energy at an affordable cost,” says Sandia’s lead turbine designer Todd Griffith.

However, offshore winds can hit 200 mph and easily knock over a turbine. As a result,…

​How to defend on CS:GO’s Cobblestone map

Cobblestone has seen many iterations over the years. Up until this current version, it’s been heavily CT-sided. Since this isn’t the case anymore, you will have to be a bit more creative if you want to score those rounds.

First, let’s talk about the map itself. Most games tend to be centered around the B-site. There are several reasons for this. First of all it’s easy to isolate defending players on B with smokes. Secondly the terrorists will generally use AK47 whereas you are stuck with M4A4 or M4A1-s….

Weather Channel Meteorologist's Deadly Car Crash Ruled A Suicide

When it comes to the weather, there’s a lot that can get a person down in the dumps, from a day off getting rained out to hurricanes and snowstorms getting deadly and destructive. On Sunday, the world of forecasting was thrown for a loop when Weather Channel meteorologist Nick Wiltgen was reported dead after a car accident in Atlanta, and now that story has taken a darker turn as it’s been revealed that Wiltgen’s death has been officially ruled a suicide.

At some point Sunday afternoon, after doing some coverage…

You showed us your Dragon's Dogma pawns and Arisen

On Friday we asked you to show us your Dragon’s Dogma characters: the heroic Arisen you control and the trustworthy pawn who fights by your side. In Dragon’s Dogma, the design of your main pawn is especially important, because other players can recruit it to help them on your own journeys. Stats may matter most, but some players call this game Fashion’s Dogma for a reason: the more your pawn stands out, the more likely they are to be recruited and return with goodies and new information.

The submissions are in, so…

A Seinfeld Superfan Recounted The Entire Keith Hernandez Episode In An Advice Column Letter

Jerry Seinfeld’s famed television show is known for many things. Outrageous plots. Crazy main characters. Even crazier supporting characters. But, one thing that it hasn’t been known for, so far, is tricking people into thinking it’s real. Now, someone who’s written into an advice column is able to say that they can finally take credit for that.

Competitive TF2 confirmed, beta group now open

The longevity of Team Fortress 2 continues to astound me. It became free in 2011, but still Valve is grinding out updates (494 patches as of May 2015), reaping the benefits of the virtual hat trade. The coming months will be huge for Team Fortress: the long-rumoured competitive matchmaking has been confirmed, and a Steam group has been set up to coordinate beta invites.

Matchmaking was brought up in a visit to Valve HQ by the community at teamfortress.tv in April last year. To their surprise, Valve was right…

Why X-Files Episodes Are Airing Out Of Their Original Order

We are only two glorious episodes into FOX’s return to the land of The X-Files, but already there’s a little bit of controversy surrounding the show. It appears that things have been shuffled a bit, and the episodes are actually airing in an order other than the one that was originally intended. Creator Chris Carter has now stepped up to put an end to any fears that the new The X-Files might be in some kind of trouble.

Because we have a story arc that runs through the middle of the series…we were concerned…

The Early Access release weighs in at an estimated ten hours of play, a sizable chunk for a beta but still a relatively small…

Former Burnout devs announce Burnout-esque Golf game

Three Fields Entertainment, which is comprised of ex-Burnout dev members, have announced a new game that appears to combine the insanity of the Burnout series with golf, called Dangerous Golf.

Dangerous Golf is described as a “serious golf game as Burnout was a serious simulation to driving games.” The title is an irreverent, silly, fun approach to golf games that will challenge players to break the rules and wreak havoc across over 100 holes across four locations you wouldn’t expect to play golf. Players can…

How Arnold Schwarzenegger's Twins 2, Or Triplets, Wants To Use Eddie Murphy

Some sequels are too awesome to happen in a timely manner, and the folks behind Triplets are certainly hoping this statement holds true for their purposes. The time between Twins and its recently active sequel may prove to have been beneficial to the film’s plot, as Eddie Murphy’s potential role looks to use that gap as a catalyst for more laughs. 

During a special black tie event overseas, Schwarzenegger gave some updates on the long developing Triplets, and how Murphy would fit into the project. Fan site The Arnold…

Hard Reset Redux is on the way

I like Hard Reset, the 2011 FPS from Flying Wild Hog, and the first two sentences of our review explains why: “Bezoar isn’t a city. It’s an explosion with streets.” It’s a silly game, with an inexplicable dedication to an utterly incomprehensible story—I know what it’s about, but I’m still not entirely sure what actually happened—and, as we said in the review, the gameplay slides into a “wash, rinse, repeat” exercise in repetition in fairly short order. But by gosh, the stuff in it blows up real…

Far Cry Primal preview: Tribal Warfare

For Ubisoft’s last outing in the Far Cry franchise, it dove into a plot surrounding complex and charismatic characters. There was social and political intrigue, wrapped in a tale of revolution and shaping the future of the world. The upcoming Far Cry Primal, on the other hand, appears to aim much simpler than that with its story and that’s something to be expected, given the game’s setting. This isn’t the uncertain, complex, morally grey modern period. This is the prehistoric era. The only goal is to survive.

Queen Cersei Reads The Craziest Insults From The Bachelor

If you haven’t watched The Bachelor, you might be shocked by the malicious things that come out of contestants’ mouths. You think Game of Thrones is bloody and vicious?

We’ve known that a sequel was in the works for some time now, but now star Taron Egerton has spoken about the next film from the Sundance Film Festival, where his new movie, Eddie the Eagle, played as a secret screening.

Introduction to Mobile Design Usability

With the exponential development of mobile devices in terms of numbers and in terms of functionality, the rapid growth of mobile sites is nothing but logical.

The GIGABYTE 100 Series motherboards have a number of exciting features, but one of the most interesting has to be the Killer Network Controller from Rivet Networks.

But the Killer NIC, found in select GIGABYTE Z170 boards, isn’t an ordinary network controller. Its proprietary software can classify and prioritize traffic ensuring that latency sensitive…

Are You Buying A Stolen Vehicle?

Auto and car theft is a crime. In truth, the term “motor vehicle theft” could actually be used to refer to instances where automobiles, buses, motorcycles, snowmobiles, trucks, and other similar means of transportation are stolen.
