The Onion Explains Exactly How Much Your Social Media Cred Is Worth
May 05, 1:38AM
With some characteristically sharp little jabs, The Onion makes it clear exactly how much all your online friends are worth with this great clip. And still, I have to admit I'm a little jealous of Wasserman's follower count. I mean, damn.

Weezer: Ruling Me
May 05, 12:03AM
It's pretty well established that Weezer's first two albums were also Weezer's best two albums, and I'm not here to disagree. Whatever your personal favs are (COUGHCOUGH Undone, El Scorcho, Why Bother, No One Else COUGHCOUGH), those records are chock full o' great tunes. The rest? Maybe not so much, but "Ruling Me" is a diamond in the rough.

How the NYPD Hunted Down an iPhone Thief in an Awesome Subway Chase
May 04, 11:17PM
The subway is a prime place for phone theft. Snatch, grab, run. Whether you're getting on or getting off, you'll make a quick escape from your target. It doesn't always work, though. The NYPD managed to catch someone who tried exactly that trick by using Find My iPhone and following along on the ground in a righteous chase.

Finally, Drones That Deliver Beer
May 04, 10:35PM
We've seen tacocopters and burrito bombers, and though those will probably be real someday, neither is going to be really delivering anything any time soon. These beer drones, on the other hand, might actually be delivering real beer to real people. In South Africa. Maybe.

The Great California Cycleway That Never Was
May 04, 9:37PM
Bikes are a great way to get around, and before cars, they were even more crucial. They were so popular, in fact, that in the late 1890s, plans were put in place for a grand bicycle highway that would take riders from Pasadena to Los Angeles, but it was never able to make it to its destination.

What Is the Prettiest Gadget You Own?
May 04, 8:01PM
Even the prettiest gadgets can still suck. But that said, there's something to be said for devices that are just easy on the eyes, and if they're good too, that's a bonus. Show us the prettiest gadget you've got hanging around. Or, if you're living in a trash-heap or something, what's the prettiest one you aspire to someday own?

How Iron Man Destroyed $5.86 Million In Cars Alone
May 04, 7:00PM
Tony Stark is a man of wealth and taste. He likes cars that are obscenely fast and ludicrously expensive, like the Audi R8 and the Saleen S7. But when he dons his Iron Man suit, cars get blown up. Specifically, his cars. And other people's cars. Also military equipment, aliens, and his enemies, but especially cars.

Lettering is everywhere and chances are that you, dear Gizmodo reader, have at least some idea of what font it's all written in. But the typographical arts have a long, rich history, full of subtle changes and evolutions. And the devil's in the details.

Watch Boeing's X-51A WaveRider Scramjet Blast Off to Mach 5.1
May 04, 4:00PM
Boeing's X-51A WaveRider Scramjet has had its share of bad luck. While its first test flight in 2010 went fine, the two that followed ended with unsatisfactory plops. Now, the USAF has just completed the fourth and final test, and the result was a screaming 370 seconds of scramjet glory and literally hypersonic speeds.

How to Embrace Anime and Never Look Back
May 04, 3:00PM
The rise of the Internet has come hand-in-hand with anime's explosive growth in popularity and reach. A genre that just a couple decades ago was only available stateside through informal networks trading VHS tapes—the original fan-subbers—has gone mainstream, winning Oscars, breaking box office records, and fostering a rabid online fanbase.

The Super-Humans Who Read Addresses Computers Can't Figure Out
May 04, 2:31PM
Email has eaten most of snail mail's lunch, but computers are cutting into what's left by parsing the addresses of your packages and letters. When they can't figure out your scrawl though, it's squinting and guessing to the rescue, and the New York Times tracked down the few people left with that job.

This Is Earth As Seen By Smartphone Satellites
May 04, 1:31PM
A few months ago, NASA sent some Nexus Ones into space to see if a smartphone could hold its own against the million dollar satellites already up there. The answer is "not exactly." When it comes to photography, it's probably best to stick with the space-professionals.

Making Your Own Pen Is So Beautiful It Might Be Worth It
May 04, 5:00AM
Things I've considered making on my own: a computer, a coffee table, a treehouse, mayonnaise and a few other things. Things I've never considered making on my own: toilet paper, socks, phones and pens. But maybe I should reconsider that last one. Making your own pen is such a beautiful process of machinery porn that I want to see the steel strip off the barrel in real life.

How Much Hair, Sweat, Pee and Poop Do Our Bodies Make Every Year?
May 04, 1:04AM
Prepare to be grossed out. You know how you go to the bathroom every day, cut your nails every few weeks and cut your hair every month? Did you ever think about what all that totals up to? What about all those times you've cried or drooled or worked up a sweat? It adds up to an embarrassing amount of fluid!

Mike Relm: Iron Man Remix
May 03, 11:00PM
The original Iron Man, first of the Favreau trilogy, dropped all the way back in 2008—plenty of time to forget all about bald Jeff Bridges and his cantankerous Iron Monger. But before you head to the theater to see the new one, get a quick refresher on the story so far—and another glimpse of Mickey Rourke's impressive moobage—with Mike Relm's Iron Man Remix.

F-16s Are Even More Awesome from the Inside
May 03, 10:48PM
Goose only wishes he had moves like these. This stunning dash cam footage from an F-16 attached to the 51st Wing captured some intense aerial action at the recent Red Flag-Alaska exercises—including mid-air refuelings, targeted bomb strikes, low-altitude flybys, and even a cameo appearance by a B-2 stealth bomber. Makes Vegas' F-22s look downright tame.
