Technology is shrinking every day. Think about what you carry around in your pocket and consider how many different, massive components you would need to match that firepower a decade ago. And consider where we’re headed, and what you’ll be able to fit into the palm of your hand in another five years. Take this camera for instance. It’s The Smallest Camera in the World at just one inch in each direction and weighs just half an ounce. It can shoot 1600×1200 resolution images and 30 fps video and it comes with a 2GB SD card. As for the glass, we can only speculate that it’s made by the Keebler Elves’ cousins, the ones famous for making the lenses that film those all cookie commercials. More »

“Underworld: Awakening” marked the return of Kate Beckinsale to her lead role as Selena, the vampiric Death Dealer from the hit action-horror series.

The fourth film in the series hits Blu-ray and DVD today, so in honor of the release, we have an exclusive look at a featurette from the disk.

Learn more about the film after the jump!

In the clip, Beckinsale explains why making a woman-centric action film isn’t as simple as it may seem. “It’s hard to do an action movie with a woman in the lead because you can’t just flip it like it’s a guy,” she said. “The fact that she’s a woman is significant, and I think that’s what’s great about this movie is that she does become a mother.”

“Underworld: Awakening” is available on DVD, Blu-ray and 3D Blu-ray now.

In modern Kabul, only two men in town practice the dying art of kamra-e-faoree photography, or shooting pictures with a unique, retrotech wooden camera. This method of picture-taking first caught on in Afghanistan in the 1930s and 1940s. Over the decades, it dwindled in popularity because of political pressure and improving camera technology. As the Afghan Box Camera Project explains: More »

Maurice Sendak has left us for the land of the wild things. May he carry on adventuring.

— Elijah Wood (@woodelijah) May 8, 2012

Film fans and avid readers alike mourn the passing of Maurice Sendak this morning at the age of 83. The children’s book author and illustrator is famous for his widely praised book “Where the Wild Things Are,” but his contributions to the film and television industry are undeniable.

Spike Jonze, the director who took on the ambitious project of turning Sendak’s popular book into a motion picture, said the author’s advice was invaluable in making the film. “He said from the beginning that you have to…[make] something that respects kids and doesn’t talk down to them, or if not, it wasn’t worth doing,” Jonze said. Sendak inspired the filmmaker as well as actors like Rachelle Lefevre and John Hodgman who remember him in May 8, 2012′s Twitter-Wood.

Also after the cut: Edgar Wright points out “amusing” “Dark Shadows” scenes and Damon Lindelof reveals why “Prometheus’” R-rating was inevitable.

R.I.P. Sendak 1: @hodgman Goodbye, Maurice, id of children, uncompromisingly beautiful, strange, mean, sweet, deep, dark, and true.
-John Hodgman, actor (“Coraline,” “The Invention of Lying”)

R.I.P. Sendak 2: @RachelleLefevre Maurice Sendak you will be so missed! Thank you for bringing joy into my childhood. Go light up God’s night kitchen. RIP
-Rachelle Lefevre, actress (“Twilight”)

R.I.P. Sendak 3: @neilhimself He was unique, grumpy, brilliant, gay, wise, magical and made the world better by creating art in it. #RIPMauriceSendak
-Neil Gaiman, writer (“Stardust”)

“Dark Shadows” 1: @ChloeGMoretz #DarkShadows premiere, amazing night I can’t even explain instagr.am/p/KW8falDnQV/
-Chloe Grace Moretz, actress (“Kick-Ass”)

“Dark Shadows” 2: @edgarwright ‘Dark Shadows’ is one seriously beautiful looking film. Also do look out for the daytime soap blocking in the dialogue scenes. Most amusing.
-Edgar Wright, writer (“Shaun of the Dead”)

@jeremypiven Before Twitter did people ask you mention them in their diaries ?
-Jeremy Piven, actor (“Entourage”)

“Prometheus” Rating 1: @DamonLindelof I’m not gonna say the R rating was inevitable, but the PG-13 cut of PROMETHEUS was eleven minutes long.
-Damon Lindelof, writer, producer (“Lost”)

“Prometheus” Rating 2: @DamonLindelof Also, we would have lost Charlize’s best line: “Which one of you motherf—— slept in my motherf—— space waterbed?”
-Damon Lindelof, writer, producer (“Lost”)

The world’s largest solar-powered boat — a
31m x 15m catamaran weighing 95 tonnes — will soon dock in Monaco,
having circumnavigated the Earth (40,000km) in two years. The
yacht, Tûranor PlanetSolar, broke the record for the longest
distance travelled by a solar vehicle when it reached 18,342km in
February 2011. “The idea is to show that we have the technology to
change the way we use energy,” says explorer Raphaël Domjan,
40, the founder of the project.
