This week we’re talking about Pacific Rim, Guillermo del Toro’s latest movie, with lots of giant aliens fighting giant robots, opening everywhere this weekend. We’ll also dig into the new 3D printing technology, and discuss what this kind of tech could mean for the future of things like medicine, manufacturing, and more. And we can’ forget this week’s Fresh Picks, the weekly segment where we’ll tell you about our favorite new or noteworthy apps, movies, artists, games, or whatever!
