Pixar Shows Off New Clip from The Good Dinosaur

Pixar lesson #452: “Sometimes, you gotta get through your fear to see the beauty on the other side.”

Released yesterday, the latest clip from Pixar’s The Good Dinosaur is entitled Get Through Your Fear and reminds you that if you venture into the tall grass of the unknown, you just might kick up a million fireflies.

Jeffrey Wright (Casino Royale) is soothing and paternal as Poppa and prompts young Arlo (Raymond Ochoa) to venture into the unknown. While some have noted that his film feels a bit like a prehistoric Finding Nemo, that parenting style stands in stark contrast to the overprotective parenting style of Marlin, everyone’s favorite neurotic, unfunny clown fish.

With Inside Out fresh on movie fans’ minds, it’s easy to forget that another Pixar original is on our doorstep, and as we draw closer to this film’s Nov. 25, 2015 release date, the studio has provided us with a steady drip of promotional material as a reminder. In the past few months alone, we’ve seen a teaser, two full-length trailers, a sneak peak at the short that will debut ahead of the film, and this poignant little clip. Here’s a look at the official synopsis:

“The Good Dinosaur asks the question: What if the asteroid that forever changed life on Earth missed the planet completely and giant dinosaurs never became extinct? Pixar Animation Studios takes you on an epic journey into the world of dinosaurs where an Apatosaurus named Arlo makes an unlikely human friend. While traveling through a harsh and mysterious landscape, Arlo learns the power of confronting his fears and discovers what he is truly capable of.”

That initial hypothetical will be familiar to anyone who played with dinosaur toys as a kid, and it looks like the studio has set up another magical world capable of appealing to youngsters and adults alike.

We’ll have to wait and see if Pixar can go two-for-two in 2015, but if history is any indication, we wouldn’t bet against them.

A new Google Pixel 5a leak just showed off its beefy battery
An alleged render of the Pixel 5a 5G.

Just ahead of its expected August launch, Google's Pixel 5a has provided yet another leak, this one focused on its components. This new report comes from sources in repair stores, as shared by Android Police on Sunday. In photos showing off the upcoming Pixel 5a, the report confirms some of the previous Pixel leaks, including the battery size and overall design.

As expected, the Pixel 5a 5G will look quite similar to the Pixel 4a, Pixel 4a 5G, and Pixel 5. The headphone jack makes a return as a stalwart of the Pixel A-Series line, though the power button appears to be ribbed, unlike on previous Pixels.

Google shows off its amazing new Quantum A.I. Campus
Quantum

Google is looking to the future with its work on quantum computing, next-generation computer architecture that abides by the rules of quantum, rather than classical, mechanics. This allows for the possibility of unimaginable densities of information to be both stored and manipulated, opening up some game-changing possibilities for the future of computing as we know it.

At Tuesday’s Google I/O event, the search giant announced its new Quantum A.I. Campus, a Santa Barbara, California, facility which will advance Google’s (apparently considerable) quantum ambitions. The campus includes Google’s inaugural quantum data center, quantum hardware research laboratories, and quantum processor chip fabrication facilities.
