One Ohio third-grader refuses to stand by as his God-given right to "Netflix and chill" is taken away from him. Brian Sabouri, an Esl teacher in Columbus, posted a picture on Facebook of a letter one of his students wrote about his dream for 2016. "I have a dream that Donald Trump will not be president," the student wrote. "But if he does all Asians, Africans and Mexicans have to go back to their country." The concerned student's biggest fear is that we'll lose the super smart engineers who are responsible for technology and thus make "Netflix and chill" possible. (function(d,...

And the Oscars go to … the Mat-Towercam Twin Peek, the Biscuit Jr., the Mova Facial Performance Capture System, the Ilm PhysBAM Destruction System and the early conceptualization of sparse-tiled voxel data structures.
That may be Greek to most of us, but it makes sense to the Academy’s Scientific and Technical Awards Committee, which on Tuesday announced that those achievements, and 16 others, will be the recipients of this year’s Scientific and Technical Academy Awards.

"Goonies" also starred Josh Brolin, Corey Feldman, Jonathan Ke Quan, Jeff Cohen, Kerri Green and Martha Plimpton. It grossed $61 million in the U.S., making it one of the 10 biggest box office hits of that year (which also included "Back to the Future," "Rocky IV" and "Rambo: First Blood Part II...
