Blast your angry face into space to ward off alien invasions

While NASA has been busy sending friendly messages out into space, it's overlooked one important issue. What if the aliens aren't friendly? Haven't the folks at NASA watched the "Alien" movies? A Kickstarter project is aiming to counteract NASA's open-arms policy by blasting a satellite into space with a less likeable version of humanity onboard.

Make Your Twin falls flat

We get that some apps exist purely for good, silly fun and nothing more. Make Your Twin sounds like it would fall under that category since it claims to "make your twin" by switching the faces of two or more people in the same picture. However, when we put it to the test, it failed to work.

Make Your Twin's main menu offers a Help feature, which explains how to use the app. First, you're supposed to take a picture in good lighting, and the faces shouldn't be covered or at an angle. Once you … Read more
