Japan’s space agency just released a trove of jaw-dropping Moon photos

JAXA / NHK

Most people are familiar with the Apollo images of the Moon, showing astronauts at work and play on the lunar surface. But those photos often don’t entirely do justice to the Moon’s stark beauty, and some of the most amazing images of Earth’s companion come not from the surface, but above. Perhaps no spacecraft has better captured this than one launched by Japan nearly a decade ago.

Beginning in October, 2007, Japan’s Kayuga spacecraft spent the better part of two years in a polar orbit around the Moon, including passes from as close as 100km. As part of its payload, the spacecraft carried two 2.2 megapixel CCD HDTV color cameras, one a telephoto and one a wide-angle. These cameras returned the first high-definition video of the Moon back to Earth.

'Robot Wars' is coming back for another season

The Robot Wars reboot, it’s fair to say, went a little better than the new-look Top Gear. While Chris Evans and chums were panned by petrolheads — leading to dismal ratings and the departure of its new anchor — the robotic mayhem on BBC Two climbed… – Source

U.S. Cellular stops selling the Galaxy Note 7 too

Since all four major carriers in the United States have already announced they will not sell the Galaxy Note 7 until further notice, it makes perfect sense for a fifth, U.S. Cellular to follow the pack.

In an official statement, U.S. Cellular confirmed that it will no longer offer the Galaxy Note 7 to its customers. On top of that, consumers who already own a replacement or the older version with faulty battery can now exchange them for any other device at the carrier’s stores.

Due to Samsung’s most recent announcement regarding its investigation of an incident … – Source

Karl Becker explains how he became a national hero at the presidential debate

Karl Becker isn’t a politician. He’s a regular dad from Washington, Missouri, but on Sunday night, he became a political hero.

Like the red sweatered Ken Bone, Becker, who works in sales and has two teenagers, jumped into the spotlight during the second presidential debate thanks to a simple question that took a step back from the nitty-gritty details of policy and focused instead on the seemingly forgotten concept of basic human decency.

“Would either of you name one positive thing that you respect in one another?” he asked Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump on Sunday night, in solid dad style. …

Dear Donald Trump: Some gentlemanly advice

Dear Donald — I was delighted to hear your declaration at Sunday night’s debate that you are, in fact, a gentleman. That is exactly what I advised, after the release of the tape in which you casually reported and advocated for actions that you now know, as a gentleman, constitute sexual assault.

I ended that column with a call for men to return to the values of gentlemanliness, and mean it — by treating all women with the respect they deserve at all times, even when there are no women present.

SEE ALSO: Hey men, let’s just never ‘banter’ like Billy Bush and Donald Trump again

So let us for a moment do the gentlemanly thing and take you at your word, or at least believe it to be an intention to begin to behave like a gentleman. Because I think you’d agree, as a gentleman, that your conduct in the election thus far has been significantly less than gentlemanly. …

Blue Raspberry portable USB microphone review: Stellar audio on the go, for those who need it

If you’re not in the market for a $200 USB microphone, this article’s probably not for you – just a warning. If you are potentially in the market for such a thing, you may have heard about Blue’s newest product, the Raspberry. You may also have held back because of its alleged iOS, PC, and OS X compatibility – no Android. Well, while Blue doesn’t advertise that the Raspberry is Android-compatible for good reason, they did tell me that there’s a very good chance it works with a lot of Android devices (those with USB OTG, that is) anyway.
