Some developers over at Microsoft created a program that analyzes your photo and tells you what’s your gender and age. The website is how-old.net, hopefully this is just the CIA testing out some new facial recognition software because this is the most annoying viral hit of the day. No one over the age of 30 really wants to know how old they look, especially when some dumb program tells you that you look older than you are!
They even have this snarky apology at the bottom of your image:
Sorry if we didn’t quite get the age and gender right – we are still improving this feature.

“A Ghost Story.” Contrary to popular belief, the current zombie outbreak is not the first time a shadow fell across Riverdale and its citizens. As the survivors hunker down in a hotel to wait out a snowstorm, Hiram Lodge and Mary Andrews relive the darkest chapter of their town’s history. Ten years ago, the adults of Riverdale struck a terrible bargain with the witches of Greendale, setting the stage for the present-day apocalypse.

“He looked like a zombie,” 24-year-old Jessica Corrales from Hesperia said. “It was mainly grabbing his blood and smacking us. But he would smack it hard in our face and make sure that it rubbed all over us.”
Reginald Peralta, 30, from Los Angeles walked into Hesperia City Hall bleeding from the head and started chasing after people. He cornered two woman and a small child when Corrales stepped in.
“I just saw my mom with blood on her… And my niece. So then I said, OK, somebody needs to do something,” she said. “So I saw some folding chairs, I picked up the chair and I just started beating him with it.”
Police have yet to determine if Peralta was on drugs or a real life zombie.
Apologies for the 30-second commercial you’re forced to watch before the cell phone footage comes up. If this was an actual zombie attack, I would recommend not trying to film it and just run as fast as you can in the other direction.
This video is nothing special in itself, but five years from now when you can apply a program to the drone with a paint can, WATCH OUT! Computer animators could take graffiti art to a whole new level, literally.
This graffiti was executed by KATSU and the Calvin Klein Jeans billboard is located at East Houston Street in New York City. Katsu has been working on perfecting a drone for graffiti since April of last year according to Wired. This appears to be his first attempt.
“It turned out surprisingly well,” said KATSU, “It’s exciting to see its first potential use as a device for vandalism.”

About the Movie Show:
A Gen Xer and a Millennial debate the latest topics in pop culture. One guy is a filmmaker and the other is a journalist, but both are nerds. We make your slowest days at work better. Hosts, Matthew Sardo and EJ Moreno.

Prior to that, he gave Doc Brown the idea for the flux capacitor and led the Resistance to victory over SkyNet – all while sipping a finely crafted IPA. As a radio host, he’s interviewed celebrities, athletes and everyone in between. He’s covered everything from the Super Bowl to Comic-Con.
Who’s EJ Moreno? Is he a trained physician? No. Is he a former Miss Universe contestant? Possibly. But what we know for sure is he’s a writer, filmmaker, and pop culture enthusiast. Since film school, EJ has written & directed several short films. He’s used his passion of filmmaking to become a movie critic for MonkeysFightingRobots.com.
The new trailer for Legend has been released today, showcasing Tom Hardy and… Tom Hardy… as the notorious Kray twins, Ronnie and Reggie, who dominated the London underworld in the 60s. Hardy is set up for a huge year, and he is quickly climbing to the top of my personal favorites list, so a double dose is something I am eagerly anticipating.
Here is the trailer for Legend:
Legend is directed by Brian Helgeland, who wrote the Oscar Winning adaptation for LA Confidential, and has directed Payback and 42 among others.
The trailer exudes a slick, London noir vibe. And that Roy Orbison song is perfect. As of right now Legend only has a UK release date of September 11, but Tom Hardy may have cemented himself as the breakout star of 2015 by then, after Mad Max: Fury Road hits theaters this month.
With the anticipated success of Max, Legend will surely grab a domestic release date before long.
