With all the betrayals and backstabbings involved in the sick scramble to rule Westeros on Game of Thrones, it's sometimes easy to overlook the fact that this is also a world filled with freakin' zombies, witches, ancient ice demons, and shapeshifting assassins!

Black Ops 3 Trailer: What You Might Have Missed
Before the recent flood of Call of Duty news, Activision kicked things off with only the teaser trailer below.
Though it's short and shows no gameplay, its hints were obvious and numerous enough to suggest that 2015's Call of Duty is Black Ops III. Activision and Treyarch later confirmed the game, to no surprise.
But in spite of all its heavy-handedness, the trailer does contain a few more subtle secrets. IGN's Call of Duty fans Brian Albert and Ben Janca sat down to comb through the trailer frame by frame and pick out the details you may have missed.

Tesla CEO Talks Realities of Flying Cars
Tesla CEO and tech entrepreneur Elon Musk has explained why that grand vision of the future, flying cars, may not be all they're cracked up to be.
On a recent episode of Neil Degrasse Tyson's podcast Startalk (via Business Insider), Musk explained the practical realities that could stand in the way of the future as portrayed in The Jetsons, Back to the Future, and The Fifth Element.
"If there are flying cars then, well, obviously then you have added this additional dimension where a car could potentially fall on your head and would be susceptible to weather," he said. "It’s got to be autopilot, but even on autopilot, and even if you’ve got redundant motors and blades, you are still going from near zero chance of something falling on your head to something greater than that."
