Everyone over twitter generally loves the clip they saw :)

EDIT:

The Avatar panel is about to begin. Fox head Tom Rothman has come out, and is describing this as a once-in-a-movie-executive’s-life experience. The technology, as amazing as it is, he insists, “is resolutely in service of plot and character.”

James Cameron emerges, and says he’s going to “speak from the heart…I’m a great fan of other worlds…It’s a great privilege to present what I’ve been working on. It’s a privilege to share this first with Comic-Con.” He talks of being trapped in his home town of Chippawa, Canada (“with a population of half of the people in this room”) where he’d dream of Bradbury and Asimov as a child. He dedicates this movie to his 14-year-old self, “dreaming of adventure.”

He’s now stepping away for the 25 minutes premiering at Comic-Con. (“WE LOVE YOU!” says a man in the crowd.) Then he asks: “How many of you ever wanted to go to another planet. Are you ready to go to Pandora?”

August 21st is Avatar Day

James Cameron has returned to the spotlight. The Avatar panel just finished at the San Diego Comic Con and CB’s own Katey Rich should have a full report on everything she saw there soon. In the meantime, we wanted to let you know to mark your calendars. Circle August 21st. Write the word “Avatar” on it.

Cameron announced during the Avatar panel that on August 21st, they’re planning an unprecedented event. Rather than simply teasing his movie with the usual assortment of internet trailers and television spots, they’re inviting everyone into IMAX theaters all over the world where a full fifteen minutes of Avatar will be shown to hungry audiences in 3D. This isn’t just some cool press event happening in New York or LA, it’ll play on that day in IMAX theaters all over the world. Prepare to have your mind blown.

The first trailer for the Avatar video game will also debut that day. Maybe it’ll be good, but there’s no chance it’ll be as good as whatever it is that Cameron has to show us. See you at an IMAX theater, on August 21st for Avatar Day.

Official Plot Synopsis: In the epic action adventure fantasy AVATAR, James Cameron, the director of Titanic, takes us to a spectacular new world beyond our imagination. On the distant moon Pandora, a reluctant hero embarks on a journey of redemption, discovery and unexpected love ? as he leads a heroic battle to save a civilization.

The story?s protagonist, Jake Sully, is an ex-Marine who was wounded and paralyzed from the waist down in combat on Earth. In order to participate in the Avatar program, which will give him a healthy body, Jake agrees to travel to Pandora, a lush rainforest environment filled with incredible life forms ? some beautiful, many terrifying. Pandora is also the home to the Na?vi, a humanoid race that lives at what we consider to be a primate level, but they are actually much more evolved than humans. Ten feet tall and blue skinned, the Na?vi live harmoniously within their unspoiled world. But as humans encroach on Pandora in search of valuable minerals, the Na?vi?s very existence is threatened ? and their warrior abilities unleashed.

Jake has unwittingly been recruited to become part of this encroachment. Since humans are unable to breathe the air on Pandora, they have created genetically-bred human-Na?vi hybrids known as Avatars. The Avatars are living, breathing bodies in the real world, controlled by a human driver through a technology that links the driver?s mind to the Avatar body. On Pandora, through his Avatar body, Jake can be whole once again. Moreover, he falls in love with a young Na?vi woman, Neytiri, whose beauty is matched by her ferocity in battle.

As Jake slides deeper into becoming one of her clan, he finds himself caught between the military-industrial forces of Earth, and the Na?vi ? forcing him to choose sides in an epic battle that will decide the fate of an entire world.

Conceived 14 years ago and over four years in the making, AVATAR breaks new ground in delivering a fully immersive, emotional story and reinvents the moviegoing experience.

First off: This is like no other movie you have ever seen. It's ambitious, and entirely original, full of digital effects, flawless executed, in an entirely imaginative world.
At the AVATAR panel, this **** is bonkers! Coolest **** ever! Watching James Cameron speak
Avatar is going to be huge. James Cameron has spent some time on this thing. Footage looks awesome
Just finished watching a full 25 minutes and holy **** it was phenomenal, just amazing. It does indeed look like nothing you've ever seen, it is groundbreaking, it looks incredible. Every single second in this looked real. And most of it was a completely CGI created universe that does not at all look CGI. It is truly amazing!
HOLY **** AVATAR WAS AWESOME!!!
OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.

      A study by physicist Henry Tye of Cornell University suggests that the universe may not expand forever. Instead, it could eventually stop expanding, begin contracting and end in a "Big Crunch" roughly 20 billion years from now. Maybe not as we now know that time can flow backwards.

      Of course. Simply reverse the polarity.

      It is clear from this aricle that "Time Is On My Side" no matter which direction it is flowing., https://noai.duckduckgo.com/?i...m%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DsEj8lUx0gwY
