Forget guns, here's a 3D printing development that can't be overhyped and pretty much anyone with the munchies can get behind. NASA's sinking a chunk of change into 3D printing food, starting with the humble pizza, in a new project aimed at evolving the future of food for both space and back here on Earth.

If you ever needed a reason to spit out a proper hidpi mode, Microsoft, now you have one. Your very own Microsoft Surface Pro's 10-inch 1080p screen makes UI elements too small to be truly useable, but now Samsung's spat a 13.3-inch laptop display with an insane 3200x1800 resolution.
