Mar 22, 3:00AM

Do you ever feel like the rest of the world is so dumb? And it's not that you're especially smart, it's just that people are just so dumb. Do they enjoy being dumb?

When Daisy Morris was four years old, she found fossilized bones of a previously undiscovered species of the flying reptile beast pterosaur.

Report: Google Is Making a Smart Watch Too

Mar 22, 1:34AM

The Financial Times is reporting that Google is making its own version of a smart watch.

Do you remember how your life was like without the Internet? Wondering and daydreams without Google confirmation, restaurant and bar picks without online reviews, working hard because there is no such thing as the Internet to goof off on, actually seeing friends in real life—it all sounds so awesome! But if you replaced your Internet having self into an Internet-less world, well, things won't go so well. [Uproxx] More »





Death Grips: Lock Your Doors (NSFW)

Mar 21, 11:00PM

Death Grips, the Sacramento-based Hardcore/Hip-Hop band, dropped their latest music video on an unsuspecting SXSW last week. The video was reportedly shot on-stage in SXSW by the band members' ski-goggle cameras, then edited together into this seizure-inducing riot of light and sound. The group is no stranger to alternative cinematography—last year's Double Helix was shot from a Prius' rear-view camera. [Nerdcore] More »

Apple's Podcasts App No Longer Has Horrible Reel-to-Reel Skeuomorphism

Mar 21, 10:00PM

Apple's Podcasts app has long been a horrid example of Scott Forstall's most epic crime as a software designer: Skeuomorphism. Why do I need a graphic of a reel-to-reel tape machine in my app? HOW CLEVER! Get it? Yes, radio used to be recorded and edited on reels of tape, but that design reference doesn't do anything good for consumers. Apple has updated the app, and the catastrophe in the image above has been addressed. More »

What's the Weirdest/Most Bizarre Wikipedia Page You've Ever Found?

Mar 21, 8:55PM

Given the right state of mind, enough time on your hands, and a can-do attitude, your casual Wikipedia browsing can quickly devolve into bizarre, horrifying, and very likely entirely fabricated black holes of information. Dark corners and seedy underbellies abound, making it virtually impossible to find all of the site's most unsettling stores of knowledge. Knowledge, for example, like this, or this, or even this.

6 Reasons Google Keep Can't Replace Evernote

Mar 21, 6:20PM

Since Google launched Keep yesterday, the question on everyone's mind has been, "how is will this measure up to Evernote?" Well don't think the newcomer is going to suddenly oust the elephant in the room as the best service for interweb jotting. It's just way too barebones. More »

The whole mess of data is condensed down into a color-coded 24-hour span so you can see how people—Foursquarers at least—dart around their home cities almost ceaselessly, only stopping to rest in the most wee hours of the morning.

No No No. That Creepy Robot Snake Strangles on Contact Now

Mar 21, 4:20PM

We've been following the development of Carnegie Mellon's robotic snake for some time now.

Everything Wrong with Digital Copyright (And How to Fix It)

Mar 21, 4:02PM

Digital copyright is broken. We know this inherently, and wheeze exasperation whenever the latest nonsensical DRM news up. But fixing it's not as simple as tossing the whole system out the window.
