This levitating pumpkin is the best Jack O' Lantern

The massively wealthy, Mandarin-speaking Facebook founder will be hosting the social network's first public Q&A next Thursday on Nov. 6 at 2 p.m. PT (5 p.m. ET)

A Sad, Digusting Pet Machine That You Can't Tear Your Eyes From

What to watch this weekend: Flesh Computer, a horror sci-fi short that would give David Cronenberg the creeps.

In a dilapidated apartment complex, a handyman tinkers with a grotesque project. It's a sort of a pet--globs of thick-skinned meat, spurting wires connected to electronic equipment, plopped across a few shelves in the back of a facilities office--but it's got personality!
