Impossible-Looking Mars Rock Stars in Stunning NASA Rover Image
This story is part of Welcome to Mars, our series exploring the red planet.
I'd like to share my excitement about a rock. It's kind of roundish. It's sitting on -- or perhaps attached to or eroded from -- another taller, bigger rock. I love this rock. It doesn't look like it should be doing what it's doing. It looks like it should have rolled away or fallen off. But it's just there, doing its rock thing. On Mars.
NASA's Perseverance rover captured the Martian rock in a wider image taken with its mast-mounted camera on June 12. Check out the full landscape:

Did you take it all in? The little round daredevil rock is just one feature worthy of note. There's also the sloping sandy ground, the layered cliff and a protuberance that resembles a snake's head or a seal with its mouth open.
Perseverance is currently exploring a fascinating river delta region in the Jezero Crater. Scientists are giddy with excitement for this part of the mission because it could help us understand if Mars was once home to microbial life. The rover will be collecting rock samples that will hopefully be brought back to Earth for study.
The eye-catching image captured the imaginations of Mars fans online. Astrobiologist David Grinspoon called it "perhaps the most evocative photo ever taken on Mars." I nodded my head in agreement, though it has some stiff competition from a bevy of gorgeous rover snapshots.
It wasn't enough for some to simply appreciate the beauty of the view as-is; they needed to expand on it. So here's the landscape with a Gorn from Star Trek:
And with Rafiki standing on the cliff lifting Simba from Disney's The Lion King (cue Circle of Life):
And with Looney Tunes' Wile E. Coyote apparently looking for signs of roadrunners on Mars:
So there you go. This gem of a Perseverance rover view can be simultaneously one of the most awe-inspiring and one of the funniest photos ever taken on Mars. Meep-meep.

Acer is ready for 2021 with 11th-gen Intel, fast gaming monitors and tools for creatives
Acer is ready for 2021 with 11th-gen Intel, fast gaming monitors and tools for creatives
Acer isn't waiting until CES 2021 to show off what's coming next. At its Next @ Acer event Wednesday, it announced updates to its consumer and Chromebook laptop lines as well as its creator-friendly Concept D line and new gaming monitors with faster frame rates. The PC maker is best known for thin-and-light systems such as the Spin 5, as well as gaming hardware including the Predator and Triton lines.
Acer announced the Swift 3x, a 14-inch consumer laptop with Intel's Iris Xe Max discrete graphics and a starting price of $900 when it arrives in December in the US. It'll hit the UK in November for £899. No word on Australian availability but the UK price converts to AU$1,660. (We took a .look at a preproduction version of the Swift 3x.) The 3-pound laptop is aimed at amateur creators who need more graphics power than the integrated graphics chips you'd find in most sub-$1,000 laptops like this.
Acer also announced it will bring Intel's 11th-gen Core processors and Intel Iris Xe graphics to its Spin 5 and Spin 3 two-in-ones. It will update the Aspire 5 line of 14-, 15.6- and 17-inch mainstream laptops with the same processors, but will also add the option for Nvidia GeForce MX450 discrete graphics. All of these are expected to arrive in February and March 2021.
If you want something with a more premium look, feel and price, Acer partnered with Porche Design for the new Acer Book RS. Inside the all-metal chassis topped with carbon fiber, you'll find an 11th-gen Core i7 processor and a GeForce MX350 discrete GPU. It'll weigh only 1.2 kilograms (2.7 pounds) and will have a 14-inch full-HD display with 100% sRGB color gamut coverage. It arrives in December starting at $1,400.
While the Swift 3x is targeted at budding creators, Acer's ConceptD PCs are for creatives who need full-time fast performance. The ConceptD 7 and 7 Pro laptops will be updated in December with new 10th-gen Intel processors, new Vortech Flow cooling systems. Acer will also add 10th-gen Intel processors to its compact ConceptD 300 desktop along with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 Super GPU and up to 64GB of memory. Look for the laptops in December starting at $3,300. The availability and pricing of the desktop are still being determined.
Speaking of high performance, the company's Predator and Nitro gaming lines will have six new monitors options between them by the end of January 2021. Under the Predator brand will be 24.5-, 27-, 32- and 34-inch monitors with refresh rates ranging from 170Hz to 280Hz and pricing starting at $430. There will also be two Nitro gaming displays in December: a QHD 27-inch for $400 with up to 170Hz overclocking and a $280 full-HD 27-inch panel with up to 165Hz overclocking.
Rounding things out are new Chromebooks and Chromeboxes coming in Q1 2021. The Spin 513 two-in-one is Acer's first Chromebook running on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7c computer platform. It's expected to be capable of more than 20 hours of battery life and offer 4G LTE mobile wireless. The Chromebox CXI4 desktop is small enough to VESA mount on the back of a display but can be configured with up to a 10th-gen Intel Core i7 processor. Both models will be available with Chrome Enterprise.
Lastly, Acer snuck in a new Google Assistant-powered smart speaker. It's not ball-shaped like other smart speakers recently announced, but more of a capsule with an LED display that shines through its cloth cover to show things like time and temperature. It's also one of the first with DTS audio support. Here's our story on the Acer Halo speaker.

Twitter's 'disappearing' tweet fix expands to iOS
A Twitter update to fix an issue that causes tweets to disappear from view as timelines auto-refresh rolled out on desktop earlier this month and expanded to its iOS app on Tuesday. It's a welcome change for anyone who's ever had a tweet vanish before they could finish reading it.
This follows the company saying it was working on changes to fix the issue in September, acknowledging that it was a "frustrating experience." The update will come to the Android app in the future, it confirmed in a tweet.
With the update, instead of your Twitter feed auto-refreshing on the company's web platform, you'll be able to refresh your timeline at your own leisure. Twitter Support tweeted that the "update to the disappearing tweet experience is rolling out for web! Now you can choose when you want new tweets to load into your timeline -- click the tweet counter bar at the top."
The auto-refresh update also comes amid a series of changes and enhancements from the social media giant, including the launch of Twitter Blue, a subscription-based service that allows you to do things like undo a tweet, read articles ad-free and customize your experience on the platform.

Tesla Is Taking Semi Reservations and Asking for $20,000 Deposit
Tesla Is Taking Semi Reservations and Asking for $20,000 Deposit
What's happening
Tesla is accepting reservations for its electric Semi.
Why it matters
The Semi originally debuted in 2017, so it's about time.
What's next
Now Tesla has to actually get the Semi into production.
At this point, the Tesla Semi is starting to feel like one of those vehicles that exist somewhere in the space between pure vaporware and a production vehicle, where there are working examples being tested in the wild, but the production version keeps getting pushed and pushed. That could be set to change, though, because according to a report Monday by InsideEVs, Tesla is taking reservations and accepting deposits for the Semi.
Of course, taking people's money for a reservation for something and being anywhere near ready to deliver on those reservations are two very different things. Need examples? How about the Tesla Model 3, which took years between reservations opening and production, or the Cybertruck or the next-generation Roadster, neither of which has fully materialized yet.
What if you are a business owner, you understand Tesla's rather loose interpretation of timelines and you still want to fork over some cash to get in line for the Big T's biggest chungus? The process for doing so is not unlike the one for the Roadster. First, you pay a deposit via credit card -- $5,000 in this case -- and then you need to arrange a wire transfer to Tesla for $15,000 within 10 days of making the initial payment. If you want more than one Semi, you have to wire $20,000 for each additional vehicle. These deposits are refundable until you sign an actual purchase agreement.
Now, it seems safe to assume, based on Tesla's track record, that if or when it does put out a production electric Semi, it'll be a fairly big deal and have the potential to at least partially upend the trucking industry. We get the appeal, but given that the model debuted in 2017, with a promised on-sale date of 2019, and it's now almost halfway through 2022, we'd suggest potential purchasers not bet their business on seeing their Semis anytime soon.

Kia Forte to go electric in China, report says
Kia Forte to go electric in China, report says
The Kia Forte is due for an overhaul soon, especially since its corporate cousin, the 2021 Hyundai Elantra, will land later this year. Could Kia have bigger plans in store outside of the traditional internal-combustion engine? China may hold some clues.
According to a report from Chinese website Autohome, Kia plans to reveal an electric version of the K3 locally this summer, which we know as the Forte here. The tiny electric Kia sedan should sport a driving range just over 300 miles, but that's on the super liberal and outdated New European Driving Range cycle. If the car were to land in the US, a range in the lower 200-mile area would be realistic on the EPA cycle. Reportedly, this car will use a 56.5 kilowatt-hour battery and make 181 horsepower.
A plug-in hybrid variant is also reportedly in the pipeline for China and it should share a lot of its running gear with the Niro we know well.
Kia told Roadshow it's not ready to share details on the US-market Forte at this time, so we'll just need to remain patient.
But, when it does arrive, it seems like a safe bet that we'll see some sort of hybrid technology applied. After all, the new Elantra will come with a hybrid powertrain for the first time, and of the group, it's shaping up to be the sportiest with a dual-clutch transmission rather than a CVT.
Even if we don't see an electric Forte, we're getting electric Kias. The company previously outlined its future strategy and said the first EV for the US will arrive in 2021. Beyond that, Kia has another 10 electric cars coming by 2025 and hopes to sell 500,000 EVs globally come 2026.

WWE Clash of Champions: Results, new champions, match rankings and full recap
WWE Clash of Champions: Results, new champions, match rankings and full recap
Emanating out of Charlotte, North Carolina, WWE's Clash of Champions pay-per-view was OK. It wasn't bad, per se, but there was nothing on the show that was truly exceptional, with most of the event being average to good. Seth Rollins was the MVP of the night, being a key part of the strong open and closing matches. Becky Lynch vs. Sasha Banks was on its way to being a standout match but was stymied by a poor finish.
Here's a quick rundown of highlights:
Seth Rollins is still Universal Champion, but he and Braun Strowman lost the Raw Tag Team Championships to Robert Roode and Dolph Ziggler. Not that it'll end up meaning anything, but Rollins was pinned fairly cleanly by Roode.
AJ Styles vs. Cedric Alexander was on the preshow, for some reason.
Becky Lynch retained her Raw Women's Championship via DQ, lengthening her feud with Sasha Banks.
Roman Reigns vs. Erick Rowan was a waste of time -- until Luke Harper returned.
Below you'll find all the results of the night, as well as match recaps and ratings. See you next month for WWE's Hell in a Cell event, which will be headlined by Seth Rollins vs. Bray Wyatt.
Seth Rollins retains his Universal Championship
Hot start, with Strowman bulldozing Rollins and going for his powerslam finish. Rollins escapes, works over Strowman's legs and hits three superkicks followed by a frogsplash. Rollins is so good. Two count.
Good action, with Rollins springboarding all over the place and Strowman showing great intensity. The crowd is quiet, tired from a long and only OK show. Strowman hits his running shoulder tackle on the outside twice, but Rollins sidesteps him on the third one. Strowman crashes through an announce table, and Rollins hits dual suicide dives. The two end up fighting on the turnbuckle, and Strowman eventually hits a frogsplash from the top. Props.
We get a light, polite "this is awesome" chant. Rollins locks in a sleeper hold but Strowman rolls out. Rollins hits a curbstomp for a one count. He hits another for a two count. A third stomp for another two count. Rollins goes for a fourth but Strowman counters, hoisting him up for a powerslam. Strowman's leg gives out, Rollins nails a pedigree and then a final curbstomp for the pin.
After the match Rollins is attacked by Bray Wyatt, aka The Fiend. They'll wrestle next month at Hell in a Cell.
Rating: 3.5 stars. Very similar to SummerSlam's main event between Rollins and Brock Lesnar, but not as good. Suffered from a flat crowd, but still a solid main event.
Erick Rowan beats Roman Reigns (!)
Not much to this match. It's no DQ, so it's just a bunch of brawling outside the ring. Rowan has improved his intensity a great deal, but the crowd doesn't buy him as a threat to Reigns. Which is a shame, because the match was just Rowan beating down Reigns, trying to convince the audience he's a threat to Reigns.
One moment did impress the crowd. On the outside, Reigns jumps from the steel stairs for an elevated Superman Punch, but Rowan counters by grabbing him by the throat and pulling him up for a huge powerbomb through an announcer's table. This gets Rowan a 2 count.
Match ends when a returning Luke Harper blocks a spear attempt from Reigns. Harper and Rowan double team Reigns. Rowan gets the win.
Rating: 1.5 star. Cool powerbomb spot and it's awesome that Luke Harper, who is awesome, is back. Other than that, this was not good.
Kofi Kingston retains his WWE Championship
Orton and Kingston start slow. This is likely because they're following a hot match and want to restart the crowd, but it's also vintage Orton.
The wrestling here is actually very tight. The two exchange snug shots, and Orton ends up bumping Kingston out of the ring. He then follows up with suplexes all around the outside area, including two on the announce table.
The pace slows down though as Orton picks apart Kingston. Eventually Kingston mounts a comeback, but it's not a particularly vigorous one. He goes for a Trouble in Paradise, but Orton counters with a nice neckbreaker. Kingston gets some of that missing fire, though, with a huge over-the-top-rope dive.
Orton regains control and there's more slow-paced dissection. He sets up an RKO but Kingston counters into a rollup. Kingston starts a comeback but is cut off with an RKO outta' nowhere. Kingston gets a foot on the rope at 2. Orton goes for his infamous punt but Kingston dodges and nails a Trouble in Paradise to retain.
Rating: 3 stars. A lot of nice wrestling here, but nothing remarkable.
Sasha Banks beats Becky Lynch via DQ
Crowd reacts big to Lynch, and is more into this match than the last few. Lynch starts out on top, but once Banks gets control the crowd breaks out into loud "Let's go Sasha!/Let's go Becky!" dueling chants.
After Banks worked over Lynch for some heat, Lynch mounts a comeback. She gets cut off in spectacular fashion though, with Banks countering a flying clothesline with a Banks Statement submission. Lynch powers out and hits an exploder suplex. Crowd has been more quiet, but wakes up with more dueling chants.
The two women trade submissions in the center of the ring, Banks going for the Banks Statement and Lynch the Disarmer armbar. Lynch ends up on top, getting her submission, but Banks gets her foot on the rope. Good stuff here. Banks nails double backstabbers and rolls Lynch into a Banks Statement for an intense false finish, but Lynch gets the rope break.
Banks villains it up, tossing in a chair to distract the ref and then, while the ref isn't looking, hitting Banks in the torso with another chair. She follows up with a shining wizard for a two count. The ref accosts Banks for using a chair and then Lynch takes a chair herself and swings for Banks, but Banks ducks and Lynch hits the ref.
The two then brawl into the crowd. Lynch uses the stair rails to put Banks in a Disarmer armbar, which was gnarly. Banks and Lynch brawl into the backstage area, where Lynch smears Banks with mustard, and eventually come back to the ring. We're told by Michael Cole that Lynch has been disqualified for hitting the ref. Cool. Inside the ring Lynch destroys Banks with a chair.
Rating: 3.5 stars. A very good match with a weak finish. In fairness, Lynch looked like a badass babyface tearing apart Banks and leaving as a defiant champion, but that's in spite of an uninspired ending.
Still the champ.
WWE
Shinsuke Nakamura retains the Intercontinental Championship
After The Miz' entrance, Sami Zayn comes out to berate the audience, talk smack about The Undertaker and to introduce Shinsuke Nakamura. It sucks that Zayn is a manager, because he's such a terrific wrestler, but he is a fantastic manager.
Nakamura and The Miz open with some chain wrestling. Zayn immediately takes the mic and starts commentating from the side. After about 30 seconds of amazing commentating, Zayn's mic gets cut off.
Miz works over Nakamura's leg throughout the match, leading up to a Figure Four submission that gets a nice pop thanks to this being Charlotte, North Carolina, aka Flair Country. Nakamura grabs the ropes to break up the pin. Zayn distracts Miz, allowing Nakamura to his a modified Kinshasa to the back of Miz' head for a 2 count. Miz regains control and nails a Skill Crushing Finale, but Zayn distracts the ref.
Ending comes as Miz chases Zayn around the ring. Nakamura cuts him off, then hits a Kinsasha in the ring for the win.
Rating: 3.25 stars. This match had a slow start, got very good towards the end but had a finish that made The Miz look dumb. Miz's offense also looked weak at points.
Nikki Cross and Alexa Bliss retain Women's Tag Titles
Alexa Bliss comes out with a Harley Quinn-inspired look tonight.
Nikki Cross starts the match with Mandy Rose, who after some taunting from Cross tags in Sonya Deville. Eventually Rose is back in the ring against Bliss. Some sloppy stuff here, some of Bliss' forearms and slaps look great but there was some conspicuous mishaps too. The two were at some points a second or two out of sync.
R-Truth runs into the ring and is chased by the 24/7 Championship crowd for a quick distraction. Bliss tries to rollup Truth, but he kicks out and runs into the crowd. This sentence must be completely incomprehensible to someone who doesn't regularly watch Raw.
Deville and Rose hit a double-team move on Bliss, but the pin was broken up by Cross. Bliss tags in Cross, Cross scores the pin on Rose after a top-rope neckbreaker.
Rating: 2 stars. Not bad, a well laid out match (except for the 24/7 distraction), but there was a lot of sloppy wrestling here and the crowd wasn't particularly interested.
The Revival defeats The New Day
The Revival are awesome and The New Day very good, but these teams are struggling to get the crowd alive. The New Day dominate until The Revival out Xavier Woods and double team Big E. The crowd did wake up when Big E, after around 5 minutes of being beaten down, tagged in Woods.
Woods runs wild on The Revival, but is cut off when he gets kicked in his injured leg. Big E comes in for a nice sequence that ends up with The Revival hitting a Shatter Machine on the outside. Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder then pick apart Woods in the ring and nail him with a Shatter Machine. They could go for a pin but decide to work over Woods' leg more.
Dawson puts Woods in a submission lock and Woods taps out.
Rating: 2.75 stars. Some nice wrestling here, but the middle section of the match felt plodding and the crowd, though sporadically invested, on the whole wasn't super into it.
Bayley retains her SmackDown Women's Championship
Flair opens hot with a big boot to Bayley, who then retreats out of the ring. Flair chases Bayley around and, back in the ring, hits her with some chops and some snug-looking strikes. Outside the ring Flair throws Bayley into the ringside barricades. Pretty gnarly looking. Here the crowd pipes up with a "Let's go Charlotte!" chant.
Flair starts working over Bayley's leg. The story of the match so far is that Flair is murdering Bayley. Bayley reteats to the corner and the ref stops Flair from keeping the offense up. Bayley takes the bottom turnbuckle padding off, pulls Charlotte into it in an illegal move and, surprisingly, gets the 1-2-3.
After the match Bayley legs it to the back.
Rating: 2.5 stars. This match actually told a coherent story. Flair was killing Bayley, who blatantly cheated to retain her title. The hero looks strong, the villain looks evil. It was too short to be a great or even good match, but was solid for what it was.
Robert Roode and Dolph Ziggler are Raw Tag Champions
Good opening match here. It opens with Strowman dominating both Roode and Ziggler, then tagging in Rollins. Ziggler turns the tide with a wicked DDT on Rollins outside the ring. The crowd was a little quiet at the beginning, but really got into the match as the bad guys kept cutting off Rollins from tagging in Strowman.
Big pop when Strowman gets tagged in. He runs wild -- literally running Ziggler and Roode down on the outside -- but Ziggler rakes his eyes and double teams him with Roode. Eventually Strowman tags in Rollins. Amazing hot tag. This guy was flying all over the place, springboards inside the ring, suicide dives outside, more springboards inside.
Match ends when Roode sets up a Glorious DDT and Strowman bumps Roode into Rollins. Strowman and Ziggler take a tumble outside, and Roode hits a DDT on Rollins for the win.
Robert Roode, bottom of the card a month ago, pins the Universal Champion.
Rating: 3.5 stars. Slow start, but ultimately a solid match with a very good final few minutes.
Your new tag champs.

GoPro's mobile apps cut down on video editing headaches
Like a lot of people, I don't enjoy editing video. Mainly because I'm not very good at it, but also because I don't want to sit at a computer to do it. Apparently, many GoPro users don't want to do it, either, so in February the camera maker went out and bought a couple of apps to help make editing on phones and tablets easier.
The results are Quik for iOS and Android (formerly Replay) and Splice for iOS. The appropriately named Quik, requires minimal effort, while Splice is for those who like a little more control.
For Quik, you simply select the photos and videos you want to use, pick a style and it will automatically stitch shots together as well as add transitions. It has a Smart Cuts feature to find the most exciting stuff in your video and cut out the boring bits, but for me it left in several seconds of my camera pointed at a fence. Fortunately, you can easily cut the video down yourself, crop the image, choose filters, add text and drop in some music from its selections or yours. The interface is solid, and I was able to create a nice little sharable video in a couple minutes without having used the app before.
Splice promises to put a "professional desktop editor at your fingertips" including trimming clips and audio, the ability to add a narration track, transitions and filters. This YouTube video makes it look pretty great, but I'm on Android and it's iOS only, so I can't say for sure. They are both available for free, so really there's no reason not to try them out, whether you're using a GoPro or just your smartphone. More details on these apps are on GoPro's site.
