Michael B. Jordan is totally down for a 'Creed' sequel

Michael B. Jordan would gladly slip on Adonis’s boxing gloves again for a Creed sequel

“A character so rich as this, and the world he’s in, I want to see what happens to him next and what he does,” Jordan told the Associated Press in an interview. “Especially the way it ends off, it’s pretty cool. I think with success and time and circumstances, it would be exciting to come back and work with (co-stars) Sly (Stallone) and Tessa (Thompson) again.”

Bugatti is back in 2016 with the 1500hp Chiron

(credit: Bugatti)

One of the biggest thrillers being written in the car industry right now is what Volkswagen does to recover from its cheating diesel scandal. Estimates of the cost to VW Group vary widely, but most agree $10 billion is probably on the low end. That’s a lot of cash, even for one of the world’s largest auto manufacturers; questions abound over which projects, new cars, or even brands might find themselves in for the corporate axe. The latest plot twist will take many by surprise: VW-owned Bugatti will indeed build a replacement for the Veyron.

In October we learned that the new Phaeton—a technological flagship sedan that no one bought—would survive as an electric vehicle. R&D spending would be cut too; VW had has spending ~$12.6 billion a year on research, more than any of its competitors. The Bugatti Chiron was thought to be a goner for sure. VW Group is thought to have lost almost $5 million on every Veyron it sold and continuing to build ornate rocketships for plutocrats could seem at odds with a sober corporate rehabilitation strategy. But more than 100 orders were already on the books and the car will debut in 2016, the company announced today.

How does one top a Veyron? According to Bugatti boss Wolfgang Dürheimer, “the Chiron will set new standards in every respect. We will continue to produce the world’s most powerful, fastest, most luxurious and most exclusive production super sports car. This is the claim of Bugatti and our customers.” The new car will still use a turbocharged 8L W16 engine and all-wheel drive, but power is rumored to be up 50 percent at almost 1500hp (1100kW). Expect a mighty price tag too.

Vivo Y51 and Y51L receive TENAA certification

After the Y37A and Y51A, two more vivo smartphones have been certified by the Chinese regulatory agency TENAA. These devices carry a model number of Y51 and Y51L, respectively.

Specs-wise, the Y51 is powered by a 1.2 GHz quad-core CPU, and sports a 5-inch (960 × 540 pixel resolution) TFT display. It comes with 2GB RAM and 16GB expandable internal memory. In terms of camera, the device features an 8MP rear unit and a 5MP front shooter.

Weighing in at 157 gms and measuring 143.8 × 71.7 × 7.52 (mm), the handset runs Android 5.0 Lollipop. Color options include white.

The Y51L, interestingly, comes with a similar design and exactly same specs as that of the Y51 (except that it runs Android 5.0.2 out-of-the-box). So the main difference between the two smartphones isn’t exactly clear at this point.

In case you aren’t already aware, vivo is expected to unveil the X6 flagship today.

Top Pick: Spaceballs

Mel Brooks adds sci-fi zeitgeist to his roster of skillful parodies with Spaceballs, a Star Wars-esque space caper from 1987. Whether it’s John Candy as Barf, Joan Rivers’ voice as the robot droid Dot Matrix, or Brooks himself as the ineffectual President Skroob, Spaceballs is full of characters as memorable and absurd as their Star Wars counterparts…just in slightly different ways. Add it to your pre-Force Awakens watchlist and may the Shwartz be with you.

Australian politicians won't stop dropping references to Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift is currently sending Australia into Tay Tay fever as she tours the country, and it seems the nation’s politicians aren’t immune.

Take Treasurer Scott Morrison. The minister was responding to media questions Monday regarding whether he had been offered the treasury job by current Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull in February, months before the dumping of former Prime Minister Tony Abbott

We won’t bore you with the details, but please note the part where the Liberal Party member told reporters to “shake it off” in regards to these events.

Documenting the people and tools behind a NASA human spaceflight mission

Ars talked with Michael Soluri and Eric Boehm at the Hubble@25 exhibit at the Intrepid Museum in NYC. Produced and edited by Jennifer Hahn. (video link)

NEW YORK—Michael Soluri is a New York-based photographer with the jealousy-inducing privilege of photographing a unique portion of space exploration: behind the scenes of NASA’s STS-125 mission to repair the Hubble Space Telescope. He spent four years photographing the crew and support personnel, from NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Houston to the Atlantis shuttle launch at Kennedy Space Center.

Launched in January of 1990, the Hubble was repaired five times by Shuttle missions, but the fifth mission was “really a spectacular mission,” according to Eric Boehm, aviation curator of the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in New York. Along with the first mission to repair Hubble’s optics, SM4 was the most important mission to keep the Hubble operational, replacing and upgrading the main data unit, batteries, and camera.
