Facebook's Connectivity Lab announced today that the company has for the first time test-flown a full-scale version of Aquila, the solar-powered high-altitude drone that Facebook hopes to use to deliver Internet connectivity to the remotest populated corners of the Earth. It's a bird! It's a plane! It's the Internet!

Today, the team behind one of the most sensitive dark matter detectors announced its full experimental run had failed to turn up any of the particles it was looking for. "Every time you try to operate one of these weird black controls, which are labeled in black on a black background, a small black light lights up black to let you know you've done it."

Dark Matter is on Fridays on SyFy/Space channel at 10:00pm eastern time

On that note: is it any good? I noticed that the first season is on Netflix, but I haven't tried it yet.

I like it, not everybody does though...The Expanse has stolen a some of its thunder, I think. Definitely worth a watch if you can see it on Netflix. It's created by some of the Stargate people, so it has some of their style.

Thanks, I'll definitely give it a try. Yeah, The Expanse also looks quite good. Surprising coming from "Syfy", maybe they've learned their lessons?

Yeah, SyFy is actually putting out good science fiction again, shocker! There's only so much Sharknado a person can stand.
The Expanse is really good, definitely check out both Expanse and Dark Matter.

Dark Matter is a really good show. Too bad it's only one season. The last episode wraps it up nicely. //edit// I just saw it has a season two[^]. COOL!!!!! //edit//
The Expanse looks good...

Yeah, they're airing Season 2 now...started off with a bang

Monday @ 8 on this side of the pond. But we're probably a couple of seasons behind you.
Still no sign of SyFy (or any other UK broadcaster) picking up The Expanse, though. I'll just have to stick to the books for now.

They've only just aired the 3rd episode of Season 2 for Dark Matter, so you can't be that far behind.
That sux that you can't see Expanse...

For me it was the entire SyFy channel even before it changed its name.

It's all down the tube...

Why wait until august.....just do it at the end of the current working day....."off switch, go home" simples!

Then it will just end up blinking 12:00 for eternity. This way, they can read the manual and figure out how to stop that.

Why read the manual when a shotgun will do (or an "assault" rifle)...
