We recognize that hundreds of millions of users, including a good chunk of current Chrome users, still rely on XP. Moreover, many organizations still run dozens or even hundreds of applications on XP and may have trouble migrating. Our goal is to support Chrome for XP users during this transition process. Most importantly, Chrome on XP will still be automatically updated with the latest security fixes to protect against malware and phishing attacks.

Of all the places you wouldn’t want to get caught sneaking into, an operational Russian defense installation that tests and produces liquid-propelled rocket engines would have to be pretty high up on the list. Still, that didn’t deter intrepid explorer Lana Sator and her friends, who made not one but five sorties into the NPO Energomash military hardware facility just outside Moscow.

When faced with a set of steps, it would be normal for skateboarders to either grind one of the rails or jump right over the obstacle – but not with this skateboard. Nope, with the Stair-Rover it’s now possible to skate down a flight of stairs without falling straight off the board and cracking your skull. Skateboarding in an urban environment has suddenly become a whole new experience.

Constructed out of cardboard, tape and Plexiglas, this camera may look like something a child might make for fun. And if someone was spotted out and about trying to take photographs with it, whomever was behind the lens could well be dismissed as somewhat delusional. However, the shaggy-haired, bearded man dressed in clothes that looked as rough and ready as the cameras he wielded actually knew exactly what he was doing.

It’s an overcast day in Solano Beach, Southern California, and a thrilling scene is unfolding in the surf. A predator that rules the skies is hunting its prey, using its superior strength and speed to overcome its victim. Nothing out of the ordinary? Well, what is extraordinary is this award-winning series of photos by wildlife photographer Will James Sooter of www.sharpeyesonline.com. The awesome image sequence documents, in stunning detail, a peregrine falcon dramatically pursuing and capturing a willet.

It’s October again, which can only mean one thing: Halloween! Check out a bunch of seriously creepy vintage ads, some awesome vampire bats and a selection of surreal landscapes. Feeling peckish? Then have a go at cooking pigs’ feet for a porky Halloween treat. They’re delicious, apparently. Oh, and take a trip down memory lane with some '80s lunchboxes – which one did you have? Until next time...

Writing about the first carrier-based launch of the X-47B in May 2013, US Navy Rear Admiral Mat Winter said, “This historic event challenges the paradigm of manned carrier landings that were first conducted more than 90 years ago.” The X-47B is a prototype unmanned combat system (UCAS) intended for Navy carriers. Defense technology company Northrop Grumman developed the X-47B, which can be remotely controlled by ground operators. The vehicle is one of four competitors in the US Navy’s Unmanned Carrier-Launched Surveillance and Strike System (UCLASS). Two other competitors, the Sea Ghost and the Phantom Ray, appear later on this list.

Most of us take our Internet connections for granted. After all, getting online is usually just a smartphone away. Internet connectivity is built into so many devices: tablets, iPods and even some household appliances can now go online. But with such simple and immediate access, it’s easy to forget that not everybody is as hooked up as we are. In fact, two thirds of the world’s people currently have no online access whatsoever. This is the situation Google hopes to change with Project Loon.

The first powered airship took to the skies on September 24, 1852, and the golden age of this type of aircraft ended with the tragic Hindenburg disaster on May 6, 1937. These days, we mostly see airships in the form of floating billboards. However, some have refused to let go of the notion that airships may have an important role to play in the future of air travel. Science fiction authors and filmmakers often feature reinvented takes on airships. And as it turns out, they could be onto something.

Out of all the creepy-crawlies in the world, spiders are among the most feared. In fact, half of all women and 10 percent of all men show signs of arachnophobia, according to some data. In many ways, this is unfortunate, as spiders play an important ecological role, whether through feeding on insect pests or serving as prey for other creatures like birds and fish.

Mount Bromo is an active volcano located in the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park in East Java, Indonesia. It forms part of the enormous Tengger Massif, which also contains Mount Sumeru, an even more highly active volcano. Indonesia itself is in the volatile Pacific “Ring of Fire,” which not only means that it experiences volcanic and tectonic activity, but also the results of such activity, like earthquakes and tsunamis.
