Yes, it turns out that being able to fly is just as cool as you imagined. A Mexican soccer team recently strapped a GoPro camera to its resident trained eagle and captured some incredible footage of the bird soaring over El Estadio Azteca in Mexico City before landing somewhat awkwardly on the pitch. The video was filmed with a GoPro Hero3+, which weighs in at just 4.8 ounces with its complete housing and thus isn’t nearly heavy enough to seriously weigh the eagle down during its flight. Even so, we’re sure that PETA won’t be too happy with this video but we’re still glad they filmed it because it’s so incredibly cool.

In an impressive display of incompetence, Motorola opted not to unveil its highly-anticipated Moto 360 smartwatch to the public during the first two days of IFA 2014.

%name It turns out Steve Ballmer was directly responsible for developing Windows’ most hated feature by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

When former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer officially bought the Los Angeles Clippers, many Twitter comedians used the opportunity to rebrand the team the “L.A. Clippies,” in honor of the much-loathed cartoon paperclip Office assistant that famously drove users crazy during Ballmer’s reign. However, it turns out that Ballmer was involved in developing something far more annoying to Windows users than even Clippy — that is, the Blue Screen of Death.
