Information-powered device manages to cheat the laws of thermodynamics: practically something we all wished for since Warren Ellis mentioned it in Planetary, an engine that’s driven by information, not by fusion or fuel of any kind.

Dump them into the infodrive and drive down memory lane. Oh wait, we can already do that. (via io9)

Atari Teenage Riot is back: They obviously are and we’re damn lucky to say we’ve been there (and taped the show for those who had their livers torn out and noses bashed in in the front rows) but Dazed and Confused’s interview gives you extra details of ROCK. Like stuff about the new album. (via alec empire/twitter)
