Microsoft Just Patented The Holodeck

You know what, I'm over the flying car. Just give us this!

Source: faqs.org

Of course, Microsoft can't call it a "Holodeck". Instead it's been titled the "Immersive Display Experience". The patent, which you can read in its entirety here, states:

A data-holding subsystem holding instructions executable by a logic subsystem is provided. The instructions are configured to output a primary image to a primary display for display by the primary display, and output a peripheral image to an environmental display for projection by the environmental display on an environmental surface of a display environment so that the peripheral image appears as an extension of the primary image.

Luckily for us, Ars Technica broke that down into English for us. The patent is for a projector to enhance the gaming experience, not replace it. It would extend the gaming environment to the user's peripheral vision to make a more immersive environment.

Dude. DUDE. Marvel goes heavy on their own spoilers for Avengers Vs. X-Men #11 .

Marvel's press release reads as if this is a permanent and irrevocable thing. Sure, Cyclops has always been a jerk, but whhhhhhhhhhhy?

In the move that shocked and saddened comic book fans worldwide, beloved super hero Professor Charles Xavier meets his demise today in Avengers VS. X-Men #11. In the penultimate chapter of the biggest comic book story in 2012, superstar creators Brian Michael Bendis and Olivier Coipel rally the forces of the Marvel Universe against the final two members of the seemingly all-powerful Phoenix Five—Cyclops and Emma Frost.

Meet The New "Justice League" Artistic Team

And by “new” I mean “incredibly famous and well known”. Starting with JLA #15 artists Ivan Reis and Joe Prado will take the helm.

Starting December 26th, with Issue #15, Jim Lee will step down from Justice League as illustrator to pursue his next major DC project. But more on that in October at NYCC.

In response to the announcement Justice League writer Geoff Johns had this to say about the switch:

“There is no other choice for the next A-Star art team on JUSTICE LEAGUE. Ivan Reis and Joe Prado bring power, grace, emotion and epic storytelling worthy of the world’s greatest super heroes. From GREEN LANTERN to BLACKEST NIGHT to AQUAMAN, I couldn’t ask for better collaborators. The second year of JUSTICE LEAGUE will begin an adventurous, mysterious and heroic storyline focusing on our members as their greatest secrets are revealed...and the repercussions change the world. Ivan and Joe begin with a story they were born to draw — THRONE OF ATLANTIS — a story between JUSTICE LEAGUE and AQUAMAN that will have the League experiencing what Aquaman does — they’ll be caught between land and sea. With new relationships developing – like Wonder Woman and Superman – new members coming on – like Shazam! and the all-new Atom — and new threats rising — like Ocean Master & Atlantis — the Justice League will grow and change as we march towards the impending TRINITY WAR.”

This news finally confirms Bleeding Cool's long time suspicions that something was afoot in the House of Justice.

Meet the Purple Yoda. Or, in the proper Latin, Yoda purpurata.

Discovered on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge between Iceland and the Azores, the Purple Yoda is a species of acorn worm. It lives over one and half miles beneath the ocean's surface.

Scientists named it after the Star Wars character when they realized the its floppy appendages reminded them of Yoda's ears.

French Bees Accidentally Make Blue Honey

Beekeepers don't think it's such a sweet surprise. You can blame M&Ms for the unnatural tint.

Via: newsfeed.time.com

Near the French town of Ribeauville, in the Alsace region of France, bees have been churning out blue (and green!) honey since August. Flummoxed beekeepers were quick to find the source, a plant that processes the sugary waste from an M&Ms factory.

Only 2.5 miles from the hives, the waste was easier to collect than pollen, leading the bees to prefer it to flowering plants until the factory managers put a stop to it in recent weeks, according to a press release from the company.

For anyone excited to try blue honey, it's not to be. All the tainted product will be disposed of.

Joker Returns In "Death Of The Family"

0

Batman #13 is ready to traumatize you just in time for Halloween. Buzzfeed got exclusive access inside this terrifying new Batman story.

Anyone who's read Batman with more than a passing interest knows The Killing Joke is one of the most disturbing comic books ever written. DC promises this new saga penned by Scott Snyder will challenge Alan Moore's seminal work as far as how demented Joker can be.

Snyder has crafted a saga that will bring together every ally (and some enemies) Batman can muster to fend off a scheme so murderous and evil it threatens every aspect of Bruce Wayne's life.

Shaking the Bat-family to their very core, Joker returns as an even more bloodthirsty psychopath, grinning out from behind a new visage sure to keep squeamish readers awake at night.

If these pages, exclusively shown to Buzzfeed ahead the October 10th publication, are an accurate barometer, Death Of The Family puts everyone Batman cares about in profoundly serious danger.
