The worst nightmare for Vancouver is coming true. Not only did the city’s beloved Canucks lose in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup final, it was shut out 4-0. Now a scene reminiscent of 1994 has emerged, when the city rioted under similar circumstances, with random fires, flipped cars, pole climbing, and riot police. (Scroll down for video.) Beer bottles were tossed at giant TV screens in the game’s dying moments, cars and garbage cans were set fire, and fistfights broke out, per the Canadian Press. Flash bombs were used to try to disperse the angry crowd, CBC reports. See photos from tonight’s Vancouver riots here. Most reports and eyewitnesses, however, say the trouble has been caused by a small segment of fans. “I think it was a few people … Everybody else is watching, some are cheering,” said one eyewitness. Here’s one incredible image from the scene and you can find more here. You can also watch raw video footage of the downtown Vancouver riots below, and ABC has a live video feed.

When we first read about Deep Shot, we were admittedly dumbfounded, but equally impressed. The “technology” allows you to “capture” the current state of a website on your desktop and transfer it to a mobile device — taking a picture of a Google Map on your desktop with your smartphone camera will open the site in the same state on your phone, for example. Sounds like a pretty neat magic trick, huh? Well, it’s not. In order to use Deep Shot, you need to install an app on your mobile, computer, and any other device you plan to use it with — thus making it even less practical than Chrome to Phone . It currently works with Google Maps and Yelp , but could theoretically be used with any site that uses URIs, or those lengthy URLs that contain search details, such as the origin and destination addresses you sent to Google Maps. You could also “transfer” a site in its “current state” by emailing the URI, or by using an app to seamlessly share it over WiFi or Bluetooth with a “send to mobile” button — which is likely what Deep Shot is doing here anyway, just with an extra step thrown into the mix. Care to visit a land where you can swim with the Loch Ness Monster and ride a pink unicorn? Head past the break for Deep Shot’s coming out video, which curiously makes no mention of the required desktop software.
