Zombies and the Copyright Apocalypse
When George Romero's Night of the Living Dead launched the zombie revolution, one important thing was missing: The copyright information on the film's title card. Under then-current law, the film entered into the public domain and was free for anyone use or directly lift — and that's how zombies became a billion-dollar industry. Unlike Universal with their lockdown on monsters like Frankenstein, anyone can make a zombie flick — making the genre one of the most popular choices for aspiring filmmakers worldwide.

Winter is coming. If fact, it's already here, and the color palette of Game of Thrones has changed with the seasons. Vox broke down the colors of every episode of every season and analyzed them to see how the change — and just like winter, the show is getting darker all the time.

Difference Esmeralda Estate Panama Geisha Coffee
It's not every day when you can get some of the world's best coffee in a Nespresso pod. But that's exactly what you'll find in each of these pods from Difference Coffee. They've secured a rare and remarkable batch of Panama Geisha from a legendary estate called Hacienda La Esmeralda. The micro lot of beans was too small to be sold at auction and too precious to be blended with other beans, but Difference was able to roast them and produce just over 700 boxes, 100 of which are left for sale. It took home a spot in Coffee Reviews highest-scoring capsule and just happens to arrive with the convenience and consistency you get from a Nespresso-compatible pod.

Mr. Robot / Season 3
Something is coming to the USA, says the creepy, oddly poetic voiceover in the trailer for the third season of Mr. Robot. What exactly that is is anyone's guess, but a few flashes of a new character, the return of an old one, and plenty of fsociety masks mean that the fallout will continue. Mr. Robot returns October 11, 2017.
Ending with a Fade Out
It's the laziest move in music — ending with a fade out. Don't know how to end a song? Fade it out. Someone else writing the songs you're playing? Fade it out. It's a technique that only came around with the advent of the recording console, and Vox thinks it should make a comeback.
