 Aardman and Double Negative deliver a stop-motion comedy to treasure in The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists. By Mark RamshawWith a diversion down a digital plughole in Flushed Away and recent CG offering Arthur Christmas, animation fans would be forgiven for thinking that Aardman had given stop-motion the (laboriously animated) elbow. Thankfully, The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists (aka The Pirates! Band of Misfits) demonstrates that the Bristol studio is not only back in the ‘banana mouth’ business, but that it’s also on top form to boot.......

Google takes us inside their data centers, shows you where the internet lives (video)

Ever fancied a look inside one of Google's cavernous server farms? Given the security issues, the company isn't likely to just let anyone mooch around -- but understands if you're curious. That's why it's adding a special collection to its Street View data that lets you wander inside without a big trek to Iowa, Belgium or Finland. If you'd like to sample some of the delights, you can check out our gallery or head down past the break to get a video tour of the facility in Lenoir, NC.
