the "Sundowner" is a Bean, driven by Birtles, and was famous for crossing Australia in 1926, and London to Melbourne in 1927

Birtles and his Bean completed the fastest Australian cross-continent car journey, and the first London to Melbourne journey, a record which stood for almost 30 years.

Capitalising on the short-lived industrial prosperity of the early 1920s, Bean Cars was one company to commission Birtles as a promoter.

Based in Worcestershire and Staffordshire, this small British motor car manufacturer aimed to produce and market affordable passenger vehicles to rival Ford’s popular ‘Model T’.

The famous partnership with Birtles…

Prior to the 2016 Australian motorsport season kicking off, Nissan has taken the wraps off its two tweaked racing models.


First off is the 2016 Nissan Altima V8 Supercar outfitted with a refreshed livery more reflective to the liveries of Nissan’s global GT3 colors.

As with 2015, the car will be driven by Michael Caruso.

The Great Network Forgery

This sponsored post is produced by Kentik.

There is a big problem brewing in the Internet.  You may have noticed that big attacks that disrupt networks or servers’ ability to deliver traffic, called Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS), are showing up in the news more often. You may not know that, officially, documented attacks are happening at the scale of several hundred Gigabits per second, and unofficially, have been observed at over a Terabit per second.

Those are scary numbers. But things are going to get a…

The Emojini guesses which emoji are related to your pictures 🌄🔥💁

A seriously cool experiment, the emojini, uses deep learning to guess which emoji are related to your pictures.

It’s dead simple: upload your picture, the emojini does some magic and it’ll give you three emoji related to your photos.

Exploring the ASUS ZenFone Zoom's camera

With a camera this big, it needs to take nice pictures.

It couldn’t be more clear that ASUS has positioned the ZenFone Zoom to be all about the camera. This 3X optical zoom sits like a small hockey puck in the body of a ZenFone 2, with a special camera grip on the back and shutter buttons for both photo and video on the side of the phone. This was clearly designed to bring out the professional phonetographer in all of us, but you need more than a camera-themed outer shell to make a phone into a decent camera.

Google Testing Project Loon: Concerns Are Without Factual Basis

An anonymous reader writes: In a filing submitted to the FCC, Google has stated that while concerns for health and environmental risks posed by Project Loon testing were ‘genuinely held,’ ‘there is no factual basis for them.’ Google’s filing attempts to address a wide range of complaints, from environmental concerns related to increased exposure to RF and microwave radiation, to concerns for loss of control and crashes of the balloons themselves.

New York Is Going to Turn Off Niagara Falls. Here’s How

Sometime within the next five to seven years, a section of Niagara Falls will go dry. This isn’t a case of the great western drought creeping east, but rather New York’s plan to, for lack of a better term, turn off the famed waterfall. The most astonishing part of the whole idea is that it’s not nearly as crazy, difficult, expensive, or novel as it may sound.

There’s an official, underwhelming word for the procedure: dewatering. And it’s been done before. The American Falls section of the continent’s greatest…

Why You Shouldn’t Take Some Medicines With Grapefruit Juice

There’s a lot of fine print to read on your medicine labels, and among them is often the disclaimer to not take with grapefruit juice. What’s up with that? This video will tell you.

In an episode of SciShow, host Hank Green explains why some prescription medication includes the warning, “do not take with grapefruit juice.”

The short of it is that grapefruit juice messes with your body’s ability to properly metabolize the medicine. It blocks a crucial enzyme (CYP3A4) that controls how…

Netflix Throws Down The Gauntlet To VPN and Proxy Servers

Netflix announced earlier this week that any subscribers using a virtual private network (VPN), proxy, or “unblocker” service to access a version of Netflix that is not the one based in their country of location  will be bounced over to their local service in the next few weeks.

The move comes just after Netflix announced it was launching service in 130 new countries—a response to the massive international demand for the service fulfilled, so far, through the very services Netflix is now seeking to shut down.

Super high-speed internet delivered over the air isn't as crazy as it sounds

This week, a new startup, Starry, announced it would bring gigabit-speed internet access to consumers, without data caps, at a price that is equal or less than your average broadband plan. It also announced that it would do this without ripping up the ground to lay expensive fiber cables or asking local governments for construction permits. It would beam the signals over the air.

It was a shocking promise. For nearly all consumers, internet access over the air tops out with 4G LTE speeds. Of course there is Wi-Fi,…

The Hulk Is Getting A Standalone Marvel Story, According To Mark Ruffalo

Despite his popularity with audiences, Bruce Banner a.k.a The Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) has experienced a pretty rough on-screen life throughout the run of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The character has become a primary fixture in the MCU, but hasn’t starred in a solo film since 2008’s The Incredible Hulk. Many fans seemed shocked when the Phase 3 movie lineup revealed that Marvel had no plans for a Hulk solo film in the near future; however, that doesn’t mean the character won’t be integral to the universe.

If you’ve ever picked up a camera, tried to wrangle actors, or sat down to write a script, you know that making movies is not an easy endeavor. There are a lot of moving pieces and continual obstacles to overcome, and even those who’ve been at it a while admit it’s difficult. This even includes some filmmakers who make it look almost effortless, like Ridley Scott, who recently revealed how hard the process is, and why he loves it so much.

At best, it’s dull and boring. At worst, it just feels mean-spirited, hateful, and so much lower than the lowest-common denominator.

The idea of spoof movies in recent years has become something dirty, which is unfortunate. With the likes of Airplane!, Naked Gun, Not Another Teen Movie, most of Mel Brooks’ illustrious career, and more, they’re responsible for some of the funniest, cleverest movies ever made. But they’re quick and cheap to produce, can be cast with unknown actors, and take aim and low-hanging fruit,…

In conversations about the radical school of playfully experimental filmmaking known as the French New Wave, certain names tend to come up again and again. Jean-Luc Godard, the man behind the 1960 classic Breathless, established that nothing would ever be cooler than bored French people wearing sunglasses and smoking cigarettes. Francois Truffaut’s The 400 Blows and Jules et Jim effectively define the French New Wave for many cinephiles, his rollickingly kinetic style having…
