Tarantino also puts subtle allusions to older films in many of his movies and YouTube user Jacob T. Swinney has put together a compilation showing us just how often Tarantino tips his cap to films released long ago.

The Associated Press revealed earlier this week that the FBI appears to be the intelligence agency that’s flying spy planes in America for surveillance operations. Even though the FBI tried to keep its spy planes a secret by using dummy companies set up solely to hide them, it turns out that anyone can use a few readily available tools to track FBI planes in real-time and find out who’s operating them.

After a long, cold winter, the warm weather couldn’t come soon enough this year, but its never truly summer anymore until PC games start going on sale. On Wednesday, GOG.com kicked off its DRM-Free Summer Sale, and as far as I’m concerned, June 3rd is now the official start of summer.
