...impressed that you got Will to dump dino urine over himself not once, but twice The script originally only called for it once. But then on the second take he just took it so much further, drinking it and showering in it a second time. On set, I'm not just directing but I'm also often running the handheld camera, and you can actually see the camera shake there as I just lost it. But he's so good at stuff like that, you just have to trust him when he starts going off-script. Will's actually really...
...famous theme song, the Russian folk tune "Korobeiniki." Tetris is now ubiquitous: it's the best selling cell-phone game and one of the top 10 iPhone apps of all time, and has even inspired wacky Japanese game shows. In 2007, video-game website IGN named it the second best game of all time, behind only Super Mario Bros. saying, "It's the puzzle game. Not a puzzle game, THE puzzle game...

"We've already increased our forecast [for netbook sales] to 30 million this year and they'll probably count...
...Wednesday, TIME revisited an October 2008 incident in which a Qantas Airbus 330 - the same model as AF447 - unexpectedly went into a brief yet harrowing 20-second nosedive, causing multiple injuries and requiring an emergency landing. The investigation that followed blamed an ADIRU failure for the 330's uncommanded dive: one of the plane's three ADIRUs, which are designed to help the plane's flight-control computer fly the plane safely, began sending erroneous data spikes to the flight-control computer. Instead of deferring to the information of the two functioning ADIRUs as it normally should, the computer acted...
