Paul McCartney and Wings: Hi Hi Hi

Apr 29, 1:00AM

This is a good song. No one is saying that you should listen to it while in any type of altered mental state whatsoever. It's just a good song. The Wings recorded it in 1972 and it got pretty popular, though the BBC was turned off by some of its lyrics. Paul apparently had this to say about their concerns: More »

Apr 29, 12:00AM

In San Francisco police are trying a new tactic to disincentivize people from buying stolen iPhones: they're trapping them in undercover stings.

Equip Yourself With Slingshots For The Zombie Apocalypse

Apr 28, 8:00PM

When you think about how you would deal with a zombie invasion, the weapons that come to mind probably don't include slingshots. But if the story of David and Goliath has taught us anything it's that slingshots are pretty deadly. Plus that whole underdog thing. Whatever. More »

Apr 28, 7:00PM

What's The Biggest Internet Shopping Risk You've Ever Taken?

Apr 28, 6:00PM

There are some things you should really see/inspect/measure before you buy, but in the age of item reviews and free return shipping laziness often dictates that we just take a best guess and see how things play out. More »
    





Two Meteorites Discovered In Antarctica May Be From The Same Supernova

Apr 28, 5:00PM

There's nothing more fascinating or TV special-worthy than twins separated at birth. Whether they're reunited at 15 or 50 it's safe to say that there'll be some eerily similar food preferences and a whole lot of crying. But what about two chemically identical grains of silica that haven't seen each other for more than 4.6 billion years? More »

Finally A Cute Robot That Doesn't Have The Crazy Eyes

Apr 28, 4:00PM

These shelves throw caution to the wind. They'll blow you away. They're a breeze. Can't. Stop. Puns. Everywhere. Look, the point is that paper scattering in the wind is a great motif for shelves and these are super pretty. Okay? Fine. More »
    





The iTunes Store Is A Decade Old Today

Apr 28, 2:00PM

For better or worse, Apple has been peddling digital wares for ten years through its iTunes store. What started as a 99 cent, iPod-centric music seller has evolved into the billion dollar behemoth we know today. More »
    





Watching Someone Make Daguerreotypes Is Totally Mesmerizing

Apr 28, 1:00PM

To be honest, it's pretty clear why daguerreotypes got passed over for more flexible photographic processes. You put a crap ton of work, not to mention seriously dangerous chemicals, into an image that then can't be duplicated. But that doesn't mean they aren't amazing looking. More »
    





Andrew W.K.: Party Hard

How Jurassic Park's Fearsome Robo-Rex Got Its Skin

Apr 28, 12:30AM

It's one thing to make a giant, robotic Tyrannosaurus Rex. It's another thing entirely to make it look remotely real. Granted, a robo-rex is awesome in its own right, but it's just not quite the flavor of monster fit for a film like Jurassic Park. And so it was practical effects to the rescue yet again with a carefully applied dino-skin. More »

Apr 27, 11:30PM

In the grand scheme of things, social media is pretty great by most accounts. It's changed the face of the Internet. Drinking is also pretty great. It formed the shape of the world. So how about Facebook-connected beer receptacles? Two great tastes that taste great together or "noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo*gasp*oooooooooooooo"? More »
    





Frozen Metal Slabs Changed The Way We Eat Forever

Apr 27, 10:30PM

It's easy to forget that almost nothing you eat was grown remotely near you and plenty of it wasn't even grown recently. And for that miracle of modern day life, we have gigantic metal plates, frozen to subzero temperatures to thank. Or at least that's how it all started. More »
    





Wait Wait, Music Boxes Can Be Awesome Starships?!

Apr 27, 9:30PM

Spinning ballerinas? Please. But give me a music box that's actually a bitchin' starship and maybe I'll change my tune. Enter the MusicMachine, the music box all music boxes should aspire to be. More »
    





How Baby Spoons Are Feeding American Manufacturing

Apr 27, 8:30PM

We've all spooned grub into our gaping maws at one point or another, but how about spooning a new soul into the vacant husk of American manufacturing? That's what Spuni is doing with just a bright idea and hip-tastic technologies like crowd-funding and 3D printing. The New York Times dug into the story of Spuni's ascent, and how it's feeding an industry, spoonful by spoonful. More »
    





These Award-Winning Vines Are Everything a Six Second Film Should Be

Apr 27, 7:30PM

Vines aren't exactly a new from of high art or anything. But while poorly edited Vine's of your friends' cats doing nothing are probably what you see most often, there are some pretty good ones, with a bit more meat to 'em. These Tribeca Vine Competition winners are a pretty good sample. They're so good you might even go "huh!" More »

Is This the Closest We'll Ever Get To Seeing a Back to the Future Hoverboard Fly?

Apr 27, 5:30PM

Everyone wants a hoverboard. Everyone. Don't even try to disagree. But while you can buy a lame-o, non-working Back to the Future-style 'board, it's just not the real thing. Crazy optimists can hold out hope for 2015, but in the meantime, this clever little picture by François Dourlen is probably the best we can do. More »
