George Clooney and Noah Wyle competing for the role of Steve Jobs in the upcoming film

Just a few days shortly thereafter, maybe even hours after his death was confirmed, Sony was already negotiating for the rights to make a biopic on the life of Apple’s late CEO. And with production moving smoothly, the same guys who slapped together the Academy Award nominated Facebook film, The Social Network, will soon have to make up their mind on who gets to play the role of Steve Jobs. In the eyes of tech-enthusiasts, there’s only one clear choice and that’s Noah Wyle, who played Jobs in the made for tv movie Pirates of Silicon Valley. But now word on the street is it that George Clooney, one of Hollywood’s biggest stars, would also like to throw his name in for consideration. — More after the break!

Incredible Steam Powered RC Car - Video

Sure, we have seen crazy RC powered “stuff”, I mean all kinds of stuff, but this one is very special. It takes the body of a modern RC car and mounts a steam engine inside complete with burners, a rad suspension system and a cuddly driver. This thing is awesome, and if you pause the video at certain points, it looks as if it could be 20 feet tall!

You are the young, geeky (and handsome) connoisseur of a lady whom is sitting currently slouched opposite to you with a disapproving look on her face, glazed over from the fact that you’ve been dicking around with your smartphone the entire date.
