After decades lost, Star Trek’s original Enterprise model may have been found

Long before sci-fi shows created their visuals with computer-generated images, sfx crews filmed detailed models against a plain background, which would later be removed and replaced with stars and planets. Wide-angle close-up lenses, softly glowing internal lights, and slow camera motion give the impression of great size. The large 11-foot model of the original Star…

Why is Elon Musk attacking Wikipedia? Because its very existence offends him

So, the sight of Elon Musk charging towards Wikipedia with his trademark guile and delicacy was so predictable that it was almost relaxing. He saw a collective resource that people prized and he wanted to hurt it. Why does Wales even need any money to run Wikipedia in the first place, he wondered on Sunday. You could…
