There's a lot of quirkiness to Google Glass and a lot of stuff that Google still has to figure out. One of those things, according to ol' Google CEO Eric Schmidt, is talking out loud to control Google Glass. In a talk at Harvard today, Schmitty literally called it "the weirdest thing".

Great googley moogley. Watch this on full-screen and prepare to melt into your chair. The music of
Melt Yourself Down, a London-based Jazz Fusion group
some describe as "Afrocentric jazz-tinged tribal pop" (the what?), is crazy good and the animation from Morgan Beringer is enough to make your brain jump clean out of your skull and run screaming from the room. Seriously, get ready for a four minute trip through
bat country.

You could use
measuring tape to steal a can of soda from a vending machine but if you're a genius, why not just invent a freaking robot to do the dirty work for you? This guy did just that. He inserts his robot inside the vending machine and controls it to grab as many sodas as possible. Awesome.

As a kid, I've always been amazed at the shininess and flimsiness of aluminum foil. It was always so, like, technological! And it was always around! But if you wanted to do more with aluminum foil, try out these six tricks. You can make a AAA battery become a AA battery. You could quicken up your ironing time by half! Oh, aluminum foil. You continue to impress me. [

Let's admit it together. We all kind of suck at math. It's okay! Numbers are evil. And back in high school when you were forced to struggle through Algebra and Geometry and Algebra again and if you were especially unlucky, Calculus, you probably thought to yourself when in the hell would you ever use all those stupid theories, equations and computational silliness in real life. And the truth is you won't use them! Who needs math!

A subway-borne chemical attack is one of those theoreticals that require the willful ignorance of regular passengers—for most of us, it's just better not to think about it. Not so for the NYPD, which yesterday
announced a plan to test how a chemical or radiological attack would spread through the city's 200-odd miles of subway, by pumping an invisible gas through the system this summer.

Supervillains are so consumed with being evil and doing bad things against humanity and/or superheroes that they don't really have time to go dating. Sad, right? What should they do? Why go speed dating! World of Heroes imagined how supervillains like Darth Vader, Joker, Bane, Cobra Commander, Doctor Octopus and others would do on a speed dating run. I think I'd let Cobra Commander or Bane holler. Doctor Octopus is too creepy. [

It's going to look silly! But more seriously, it seems like we're all going to have to accept that wearing technology is going to be the real future and not just the imagined future of science fiction movies. We won't know we're in the future until we're wearing technology like Google Glass or Apple's supposed iWatch. PBS Off Book decided to take a look at what that future of wearable technology would look like.

We've been pretty harsh on
Carnegie Mellon University's artificial snake, which, admittedly, is an
impressive piece of robotic engineering. But seeing it randomly writhe around while it tries to make its way across the floor and over obstacles will never not be unsettling.

T-Mobile's big
no-contract, Uncarrier campaign just
hit a bit of a snag; Washington State Attorney General Bob Ferguson has ordered the company to correct the deceptive campaign, which promised no contracts and no commitment without saying anything about hardware subsidies. T-Mobile has agreed to update the ads nationwide.

So you got caught with your pants down on the Internet (figuratively, folks) and contracted a virus. That sucks. Or maybe you were wearing protection but still fell victim to some nasty bit of code that managed to slip by your antivirus software undetected. That sucks even more. Either way, it's nothing to feel ashamed about. The web is a dangerous place and even the most tech savvy users sometimes slip up. You can even get a virus through no fault of your own simply by visiting a reputable website that, unbeknownst to you, has been compromised by a hacker with malicious intent. The web is a war zone, and even if you're not a target, you can still end up a casualty.

Even if you've got a sweet pair of cans, listening to music through the on-board jack on your phone or laptop can be underwhelming. That's why you need a little gadget called a DAC, or a digital-analog-converter. They take the flat, quiet sound that your crappy on-board audio produces and make it clearer and louder.
Whitson Gordon over on Lifehacker has a great piece about why'd you want to use a DAC. Some
beautiful DACs are audiophile-level gear with audiophile price tags to match, but Fiio makes nice little DACs that are affordable, and one of the nicest models is on sale today.

A quick tweet can blast through Twitter like wildfire. All it takes is a click of a button and anyone can help push that 140 character shout just a little further through cyberspace, until
everybody knows.
This is what it looks like when that happens.

As you may, hopefully, be unaware, today is Alice Day, a day inspired by Lewis Carroll's debated sexual attraction to
Alice In Wonderland's very underage and very real counterpart, when proud pedophiles come together in celebration of their disorder. So it's a beautiful day for a NAMBLA takedown, and Anonymous was happy to answer the call.

During any form of physical exertion, most people don't think about breath until they're gasping for it. The most advanced exercisers among us are conscious of trying to breathe lower, into their bellies. But there's an even better way, and making this simple switch will get more oxygen into your blood, faster.

The
Wheelharp looks like a musical creation dating back to the time of Beethoven and Mozart, but believe it or not it's not an antique. It's a modern instrument created just over ten years ago by Jon Jones as a way to let a single musician command their own string orchestra.

What happens when you crunch a heap of Facebook data with one of the most sophisticated computational tools in the world? Mathematical proof for the myriad ways your life gets boring as you get older. That's right, as you get older, you're going to spend even more time whining about the weather and the government and less time thinking about important things like video games.

3D scanning—though it's been around since the 1960s—has been in the news of late, with Harvard using the technology to
recreate ancient statues and MakerBot
announcing a desktop scanner last month. But cheaper, faster, and more accessible 3D scanners aren't just revolutionizing how we print
terrifying models of our own faces. They're also changing how we understand the city.
