Google's MyGlass Companion App for Google Glass Is Now Available in Google Play

Apr 16, 4:01AM

Though this is completely useless for pretty much every single one of us (since we don't have Google Glass), Google just released the companion Android app for Google Glass called MyGlass in Google Play. Even Google so cheekily reminds us that the app does nothing (without Glass, that is) saying: "If you don't have Glass, then downloading this will be a waste of time. Sorry about that. But if you swipe the screenshots to the right you'll see there's a picture of a puppy in pajamas. So not a total waste of time after all." More »
    





The Weirdest Thing on the Internet Tonight: Spacebound

Apr 16, 4:00AM

This heart-wrenching short by Kyle Moy and Ellen Su, follows a young astronaut and his space dog as they desperately try to avoid a horrific and painful death. It serves as a gorgeously animated gut-check that while we can't choose when we go out, we can choose how we do so. More »

How Rich Are You? This List Will Show You Where You Rank Among the World's Richest People

Apr 16, 3:00AM

I need more money. You need more money. That guy needs more money. That mom needs more money. We all want more money. That's a universal fact. And that's because none of are cracking the Forbes billionaire list (unless you are, in that case we should be friends). But in another list showing the richest people in the world? We're not that far down! Hell, we might be considered the 1%. More »
    





This Awesome AT-AT Walker Belongs to an Even More Awesome Four Year Old

Apr 16, 2:00AM

Star Wars makes us all better, happier people. Proof: Stephanie Kaloi's four-year-old son just underwent surgery on both of his legs so he needed a walker and knee immobilizers to walk. The problem was that her son had previously associated the walker with pain, so he was never happy using it. But after it was outfitted as an AT-AT walker? He now walks around happily making laser noises. It's wonderful. More »
    





Thanks to HTML5, Streaming Movies on Netflix Might Suck Less

Apr 16, 1:19AM

Netflix currently uses Microsoft's Silverlight plugin to run its streams. It's an inelegant solution that sometimes makes for subpar and bogged down streaming experiences. But Silverlight is possibly dying! And Netflix wants to get better! So Netflix is planning to move on from streaming on Silverlight and move towards HTML5 video. When that happens, streaming movies on Netflix might suck less. More »
    





Facebook Is Talking to Apple About Making Facebook Home for the iPhone

Apr 16, 12:35AM

According to Bloomberg, Facebook is currently in talks with Apple to bring Facebook Home to the iPhone. Mind you, that doesn't mean we should expect Facebook Home to actually come to the iPhone (as that seemingly wouldn't jive with Apple's MO) but it does show Facebook's obvious desire to bring more Facebooking to more phones.

Watching Four Minutes of Magnetic Putty Swallowing Things Is Oddly Erotic

Apr 16, 12:00AM

Sure, you've seen the master mutant powers of magnetic putty before and how its snake-like unhinging ability can completely engulf an object. It's the work of magic! Or the closest thing we have to magical powers (magnets). PBS Digital Studios and Shanks FX teamed up to have a bit of fun with magnetic putty and shows it in all of its gory detail. Shot in macro and placed against a titillating soundtrack, seeing magnetic putty swallow things is, um, a lot of fun. [Joey Shanks] More »

Do Not Try to Park a Boat With These Lamps

Apr 15, 10:20PM

These lamps by designer Patrick Hartog are inspired by the large posts—called mooring bollards—on ships and shore used to tie vessels down so they don't float away. Instead, these slip-casted ceramic replicas are tethered to your ceiling. Gorgeous. [Patrick Hartog via Uncrate] More »
    





Minibar: A Classier Cocktail App to Get You Drunk in Style

Apr 15, 10:00PM

Cocktail apps are nothing new, but as they generally appeal to a demographic practically willing to drink gasoline so long as it'll give 'em a buzz, none really offered the refinement and knowledge we were looking for. Nothing, that is, until Minibar. More »

Watch This Timelapse of Microsoft's Original HQ Being Built From Scratch

Apr 15, 8:20PM

Check out this fantastic timelapse of Microsoft's original headquarters being built. Back in 1985, when planners plotted out the rising company's campus, Microsoft figured it'd need 88 acres of land in a forest near a one-stoplight suburb of Seattle called Redmond. The first office complex was a total of four star-shaped buildings you see in the video, built over the course of 7 months. Now, its 125-building campus sprawls over 500 acres—a city unto itself.

10 Inspiring Objects from Salone del Mobile, the Center of the Design Universe

Apr 15, 8:07PM

Salone del Mobile limped to a close last week, with tons of shade being thrown at exhibitors by big-name critics who say it's "changed." Yep, the glitziest, most-hyped design week of the year—informally nicknamed Salone del Marketing—has definitely changed. Chalk it up to the protracted recession most of Europe is slogging through: $160,000 tables just don't interest people (even rich people!) like they used to. More »

Simpsons DVDs Are Your Perfectly Cromulent Deal of the Day

Apr 15, 7:00PM

Did you know that there's no legal way to stream all-you-can-watch Simpsons episodes online? (Actually, Hulu streams the most recent episodes, but you can't even watch them on your TV.) That seems like a real missed opportunity, and it means if you wanted to revisit vintage El Barto, you'll have to catch him on syndication, or buy the DVDs. More »
    





The Fake Websites of Law & Order Are So Stupid I Wish They Were Real

Apr 15, 6:56PM

Law & Order has never been a paragon of TV realism—just take a look at the websites it makes up as plot devices. Poor Ice-T has to browse a web that's nothing but rape sites and murder porn. More »
    





Filing Your Taxes Online Was Even More Terrible in 1991

Apr 15, 6:40PM

If you're one of the many tax-procrastinating thrill seekers who waited until the last minute to get cracking, there's a pretty good chance you spent most of that time cursing TurboTax's powers that be. It might have even been enough to make you yearn for a simpler time, a time when we weren't dependent on the capricious interent for our tax-filing needs. But this video detailing the various online tax prep packages of 1991 should put an end to any of that nonsense. More »
    





Can This Insulated Pillow Sack Really Replace a Slow Cooker?

Apr 15, 6:20PM

But the Wonderbag promises to further improve the joy of slow cooking by not requiring a power source to finish off a meal. What sorcery is this? More »
