If the entire video release is as awesome as this clip, it's going to be pretty special. The highlight? Possibly the hired gymnasts and stunt performers who grind various metals to shower the stage with sparks.
Plus, those double bass pedals. Damn.

Did someone say VR? This truly takes the RC hobby to another level. Imagine the possibilities of a long-ranged first-person video on a model helicopter or plane — or even an RC supercar like the Traxxas XO-1.
The future marches on.
If you already know what IFTTT is, you’ll be extremely excited about this frankly gorgeous app. All the power of IFTTT in your pocket. Plus, the design smells very much like iOS 7 to me.
If you don’t know what IFTTT is, check out this simple guide — you’ll probably fall in love.
Tom Warren reports for The Verge:
The Lumia 1020 is a big upgrade over Nokia's previous Windows Phone efforts for one reason alone: a 41-megapixel camera.
Okay, that’s cool. What else has changed, though?
Camera aside, the Lumia 1020 is largely unchanged from the specifications of Nokia's Lumia 920 and 925.
Huh.
I can’t help but feel Windows Phone is in for a tough time ahead. If the flagship hardware device for WP is seeing no CPU change this generation and there’s not going to be an update to the software until next year, it won’t be easy for Microsoft to claw back any market share.
Ever wondered what happens when you wring out a wet towel in space? Well, fortunately for us, Commander Chris Hadfield recorded this video last week.
Fascinating.
This can’t be good for anyone. Remember: even when an update is released, carriers will likely delay the update getting to users, so it could be up to a year until Windows Phone is next updated.
Ouch.
“We are seeing the PC market reduction directly tied to the shrinking installed base of PCs,” Gartner analyst Mikako Kitagawa said in the statement. “In emerging markets, inexpensive tablets have become the first computing device for many people, who at best are deferring the purchase of a PC.”
This can’t be good news for Microsoft: they won the desktop PC market, but they’re not winning the smartphone or tablet market.
So awesome. This is why I recently took up this hobby.
In short? It’s great. The long version is available by clicking the link above.
Fantastic collection found via reddit. Here’s my favourite: Albert Einstein in fluffy slippers.
Ouch.
Owen Williams calls it how he sees it:
It’s easy enough to argue that the iPhone 1, for example, shipped without many features we have today as they were added over time, but Apple at the time were creating their own market. The popular phones were the kind that flipped and slid open, or had a stylus. Microsoft is executing the same strategy – release now, fix later – that their competitors use but they’re five steps behind the rest.
