The 130mph Honda Mower is capable of reaching a top sped of 209 kilometers per hour or 130mph and 0-60 in just four seconds and was created to look like a mower, cuts like a mower but provide as much fun on the lawns of suburbia as it is on race tracks, explains Honda. Watch the video after the jump to learn more about the 130mph Honda Mower project and see it in action.

Next Avengers Villain is Ultron


Joss Whedon, one of the premier - if not THE premier - comic and scriptwriter's of our time, announced the title and, indirectly, the main villain of the next Avengers movie yesterday at San Diego's Comic-Con 2013. The title, showcased at the end of a teaser trailer that previewed a long list of Marvel's upcoming movies, is Avengers: Age of Ultron.



Ultron, for those who don't follow Marvel comics, is an artificial intelligent robotic being that's been around since the 1960s. For DC fans, think of him as Marvel's Brainiac. He was the feature villain during this year's Avengers comic series whose storyline was similarly titled Age of Ultron, but the movie and comic storyline aren't likely to have very many plot-based similarities.

Superman Vs Batman, 2015


Comic-Con happened in San Diego this weekend. Unlike during E3, I don't have a ton of news for you from the Con, but there is one tidbit that's sure to make geeks everywhere rejoice! Warner Bros has announced that Batman will in the second Superman movie that's set to be released in 2015.



The movie will be directed by Zach Snyder and Henry Cavill will reprise his role as Superman. If you don't already know, Christian Bale is out of the Batman business and no one knows who's going to play Batman next. However, Christopher Nolan, the man who directed the most recent Batman trilogy, will have some input as an executive producer for the movie.

Speed Enforcement Drones?!


People in the San Francisco area started freaking out when official-looking signs depicting a drone firing a missile stating "speed enforced by drones" started cropping up all over Bay Area highways. However, a local news station, and many more since, has reported that these signs are indeed fake and being removed by the California Highway Patrol, also known as the CHP.



The CHP confirmed that the signs were professionally made with the same materials official road signs are made out of. One even went so far as to use tamper-resistant bolts! Authorities still don't know who's behind the prank.

Video Game Sales Drop 15%


It's not really much of a surprise. Every gamer knows that summer is when gaming usually falls off for a bit, but a 15% drop in retail sales in one month is still huge when hundreds of millions are involved. Total spending on video games in the U.S. last month was $1.2 billion, only about 50% of which was made up of physical sales.



Where'd gamers take their business? Mobile games have seen sharp increases in revenue over the last few months, causing many gaming journalists to wonder if mobile gaming is slowly taking over the market. Although the main reason they're so speculative is because the real answer is much less interesting.

Robocop Reboot Details


Not too long ago we reported that Robocop was receiving a film reboot that's slated to come out in 2014. This year's Comic-Con has given us a few more details along with a deeper look into the movie's overall message. Robocop will seek to raise the question of whether or not drones should be used by local police departments.



Back when the original Robocop came out, drones and automated machinery were little more than ideas within the realm of science fiction. Today's society sees that drone-based police enforcement is on the horizon. They're already putting up signs on the side of Bay Area highways after all!
