Haha, People Who Read Your Message But Don't Reply Are the Worst
May 09, 5:00AM
Before I go off calling everyone who has read receipts on but still doesn't reply in a timely matter rude assholes, please note that I am one of them. But still! I hear it's verrry annoying for other people to see some messages be read (and for Facebook, it pretty much has to be that way) and quickly replied to while others just toil in obscurity. What is up with that?

May 09, 3:19AM
TechCrunch is reporting that Microsoft, which has already made an interesting $300 million investment in Nook, wants to double down and buy the whole darn thing.

Kids Trying Food for the First Time Is the Most Adorable Thing
May 09, 1:45AM
Do you remember the first time you ate an olive? It probably turned you off from anything that had an olive in it until you started drinking martinis. Such is the way certain foods are when you're young. Anything vegetable related? Bleh. Anything too strong or spicy tasting? Ahh! But as you grow up, you realize everything is delicious.

What A First Person View of a Lightsaber Duel Looks Like
May 09, 12:39AM
If lightsabers ever become real, and let's be honest some genius will dedicate his entire life into making that happen, I hope the entire world will be well practiced in how to handle them. Sure the ballet of Star Wars characters fighting in light sabers looks great (or ridiculous), but when you get an up close view on the sword fight? The whole world will be missing at least one of their hands.

Goddammit, We Still Can't Cure Alzheimer's Disease
May 08, 11:24PM
Last summer, a promising trial of a new antibody treatment was shown to totally stop cognitive decline in four Alzheimer's patients over the course of three years, giving researchers hope that the disease could be slowed or even cured. This year, it was expanded into a double blind placebo test and administered to nearly 100 times more Alzheimer's patients. It proved ineffective. Goddammit.

Pulling Your Parachute While You're Still on the Plane Is Not Fun
May 08, 11:07PM
Wait for it. Wait for ittttt. Waaaitttt forrr itttt. Waai... and then boom, there it is. This poor guy accidentally deployed his parachute too early. So early that he was still on the plane. As you can imagine, he immediately got sucked out of the plane. It's like a scene from the movies, the parachute drags him out and you can see his body whip back. Scary. [Suigenesis via Digg Videos]

FBI Documents Suggest That Feds Read Your Emails Without a Warrant
May 08, 8:34PM
New documents from the FBI and U.S. Attorneys' offices paint a troubling picture of the government's email surveillance practices. Not only does the FBI claim it can read emails and other electronic communications without a warrant—even after a federal appeals court ruled that doing so violates the Fourth Amendment—but the documents strongly suggest that different U.S. Attorneys' offices around the country are applying conflicting standards to access communications content (you can see the documents here).

A Free After Contract Lumia 920 Is Your Deal of the Day
May 08, 7:00PM
The Lumia 920 is the best Windows 8 phone you can currently buy. Sure, it might have a little too much junk in the trunk, but that girth houses the king of smartphone cameras. It's built like a tank. And although Windows Phone 8 is still a little behind in app availability, it's catching up every day. If you've wanted to give the Microsoft mobile operating system a try, there's never been a better time—AT&T is running a one-day sale where a Lumia 920 is free with a new contract. Of course, there's still the cost of the contract, but that's easy to overlook when you're live-tiling it up. Those tiles—they're so alive. [AT&T]

May 08, 6:51PM
Jack Conte's "Pedals" music video is nuts. Holy crap, electronic music robot madness. But this is one of those situations where you have trouble deciding what's crazier: the music video or the behind-the-scenes describing how the music video was made. Be the judge for yourself.

After Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" video was pulled from YouTube last month, David Bowie's latest video from his new album "The Next Day" has been pulled from YouTube for violating the site's Terms of Service as pointed out by Billboard.
