N.O.R.E Featuring Styles P and Raekwon: Google That [Video]

Dropping today is N.O.R.E.s "Google That," one of the most memorable tech references in recent rap memory since Rick Ross said he was "selling dope straight off the iPhone." Watch out though, because it might get stuck in your head with a chorus that repeats the phrase synonymous with Internet search more dozens of times. (Bonus: it also includes a Game of Thrones reference). More »

Lyrid meteor shower lights up sky around world (+video)

Clear skies and the absence of a bright moon this past weekend made for a spectacular Lyrid meteor shower, which dazzles skywatchers around the globe.

The Lyrid meteor shower amazed some skywatchers around the world with bright celestial fireworks this weekend, thanks in part to the lack of a bright moon.

The annual April "shooting star" display hit its peak in the wee hours of Sunday (April 22) while the moon was in its dark, new phase, offering observers with clear weather a better chance to spot the?Lyrid meteor shower?without the interference of bright moonlight.

"Clear skies, no moon, a bit chilly, but otherwise perfect.?I saw two meteors shortly?after sunset," photographer Bill Allen of Ralph, Saskatchewan in Canada told SPACE.com in an email.

Allen snapped a striking snapshot that captured a Lyrid with green northern lights in the background. ?"The aurora added to what was already?a great night," Allen said. [Spectacular 2012 Lyrid Meteor Shower Photos]

Allen wasn't the only lucky observer to witness the Lyrids this weekend. Photos sent in to SPACE.com from skywatchers in California, Malaysia and other spots around the world reveal striking views of bright Lyrid meteors.

Skywatcher Brian Emfinger of Ozark, Ark., captured a magnificent fireball that created a spectacular sight through his fish-eye lens-equipped camera. The bright stars of our Milky Way galaxy serve as a backdrop in Emfinger's view.

Photographer Marian Murdoch in Ridgecrest, Calif., also reported several bright Lyrids during this year's display, but sadly the best show of the night escaped her lens.

"There was a HUGE fireball that we observed, low on the horizon, but (of course) it was out of my field of view with the camera, Murdoch told SPACE.com via email. "Some of the meteors were very dim, and were not even seen with the human eye. Only after I brought them up on the computer was I able to see them."

The Lyrid meteor shower has been observed by humans for more than 2,600 years and occurs each year in mid-April when the Earth passes through a stream of dust left behind by the?comet Thatcher?(C/1861 G1). The comet dust can reach speeds of up to 110,000 mph (177,027 kph) as it slams into Earth's atmosphere, causing it to ignite as dazzling meteors.

NASA scientists predicted an impressive Lyrid meteor display this year because of the shower's timing coincided with the new moon.?A confluence of two other events also enhanced the?meteor shower?for NASA.

15-inch Series 7 Chronos with Ivy Bridge surfaces on Samsung's Canadian site

When it rains it pours. Hot on the heels of announcing that 17-inch Series 7 Chronos laptop it teased back at CES, Samsung is doing the predictable sensible thing and refreshing the 15-inch version with an Ivy Bridge processor as well. So far, we see it listed on Samsung's Canadian site with a 1GB NVIDIA GT640M GPU and a quad-core Core i7-3615QM CPU (remember that Intel hasn't announced its dual-core variants yet). Curiously, though, we don't actually see it for sale online anywhere, it's unclear how much it costs and that Ivy Bridge configuration isn't even listed as an option on the company's US site. We've emailed Samsung for clarification, but in the meantime you may as well consider this a placeholder -- and will yourself to hold off a little longer before pulling the trigger on a mid-sized laptop.

[Thanks, Hugo]
