Matt Damon tries to survive on Mars in the new 'The Martian' trailer

 

What would a scientist do if he got stuck on Mars and, of course, need to survive? He'll science the shit out of the place. Or at least that's what Matt Damon's character Mark Watney is doing in the new film The Martian. A new trailer for the movie has just been upped and it shows Watney trying to find a way to survive on the Red Planet after getting stuck there. A team of scientists back on Earth are trying to bring him back home.  

Damon is joined by the likes of Jessica Chastain, Sean Bean, Kristen Wiig, Chiwetel Eijofor, Kate Mara, and Donald Glover in what looks to be a pretty interesting film.

Google Hangouts gets official webpage

Here’s one more way to get access to Google Hangouts: its official web page. It’s been four years since the service was launched so it’s a good thing the service finally gets its own dedicated site. You can make voice and audio calls from the site. If you’ve used Hangouts on Gmail before, the interface looks rather similar but with a random wallpaper. The site also shows you links to the Chrome extension and desktop app as well as the mobile apps.

The hackers said they posted the data online because Avid Life Media, the parent company of Ashley Madison, refused to take the site down.

Skype for Android now lets you set custom ringtones and share photos between conversations

Skype for Android is getting a nifty update that’ll let you do things like personalize ringtones and forward photos from one chat to another. If you want to set a custom ringtone for someone, just tap on the “Ringtone options” on the lower right screen for that particular contact. Also, if you have a photo you want to share all you need to do is hold down on the photo in your conversation window and wait until you see the prompt “Forward photo” and then send away. This new update, of course, comes with the requisite bug fixes as well.
