What Online Scams Would Look Like If They Were Real People
May 17, 5:00AM
When we see Nigerian princes or weird links or invasive people who want to much personal information pop up in our e-mail inbox, we immediately know that they're scams. It's part of the Internet. But what if it was a part of real life too? It would be absolutely terrifying to see online scams and viruses as people.

HBO Picked Up That Silicon Valley TV Show That Might Be Good
May 17, 3:43AM
We heard last year that HBO had greenlit a dark, single camera Silicon Valley comedy show pilot by Mike Judge (Office Space) but with the blink and you'll miss it nature of TV pilots, you never know what's going to happen until it hits the airwaves.

Rumor Alert: Yahoo Is Buying Tumblr for a Billion?
May 17, 3:11AM
Yahoo has a problem: it has no idea what it's doing, or how it's going to do it (outside of teenage dream hires). Some people who claim intimate knowledge say the company is going to do it by throwing a serious Hail Mary: buying Tumblr for $1,000,000,000. That's one billion.

What New York City Would Look Like on Other Planets
May 17, 3:00AM
The most iconic skyline in the world (or at least in America) would look completely different if it was on another world. On Venus, New York City would be a yellow haze, on Mercury would look glow in the dark, on Mars would make everything rusty and on Uranus and Neptune would totally obliterate the city.

The Most Awesomest Ways to Open a Beer
May 17, 1:16AM
One of the most depressing things in the world: having a beer without a bottle opener. The carbonated deliciousness is looking at you through the glass, teasing you, popping your tastebuds. But of course, you don't need a bottle opener to open a beer. With the right amount of leverage, anything can open a bottle of beer. Just watch this video.

If Vine Tried to Make a Commercial About Vine Using Vine
May 17, 12:00AM
Because Twitter wants to force lightning twice with self-imposed limitations on communication, Vine has been awkwardly limited to 6 seconds of video. But what does that 6 seconds mean? Could Vine promote Vine in 6 seconds? Could you explain what Vine is in 6 seconds? Is 6 seconds longer or shorter than you think?

Google+ New Photo Features Hands-On: Fun, But Unreliable
May 16, 11:38PM
Amongst the slurry of updates Google announced yesterday at I/O was a new feature set for Google+ designed to make your photos better, prettier, and more fun, without you really having to do anything. It's ambitious, and it sounds cool. Unfortunately, in its current implementation, it's hit and miss.

The Most Impressive Lego Terminator Arm You've Ever Seen
May 16, 10:20PM
Skynet comes across as a resourceful artificial intelligence. After all, if it's clever enough to send someone back in time to wipe out an enemy before they're born, it's not hard to believe it could see the potential in Lego Technic when it comes to building an army. Particularly when we've just shown it how.

Why Google Didn't Talk About Glass Yesterday
May 16, 9:02PM
Remember last year's I/O keynote and all the skydiving and bike riding shenanigans Google pulled? That was fun! Not to mention the big reveal: Google Glass. But if you managed to stay awake during yesterday's three hour keynote, you probably noticed that Glass was noticeably absent. What's up with that?

May 16, 8:45PM
Pixelation: we rely on it today to obscure nudity and lewd gestures on TV. But did you know that we have a 1973 Michael Crichton sci-fi film called Westworld to thank for the image-blurring digital effect?

Star Trek Into Darkness Review: Small Time Fun
May 16, 7:44PM
Making a Star Trek movie must be hard. A movie like Star Trek Into Darkness has to simultaneously treat its source material with acknowledgement, if not respect, and make itself feel new and original. There are a lot of ways to do that, but JJ Abrams seemed to choose, "Just make it fun and figure the rest out." He chose wisely.

A Self-Lighting Candle with a Dimmer Switch Is Uselessly Awesome
May 16, 7:40PM
Candles are low tech by definition. We've been using them for thousands of years. But designer Zelf Koelman put a more modern spin on them by whipping up an auto-lighting candle rig that even has a dimmer switch. It's as neat as it is totally absurd.

May 16, 7:20PM
Honda has been demoing its sitting Segways for years now, but the Hammacher Schlemmer version has one crucial advantage over them: it's actually for sale. So instead of just being tantalized by a future where legs are an unnecessary human feature, we're now officially living it.

Someone Finally Designed a Folding Chair That's Easy to Store
May 16, 7:15PM
They're light, they're cheap, they're marginally comfortable, but ironically, folding chairs are rarely easy to stack and store. They're supposed to be, but their random curves and bulges make it a task that's frankly just not worth it—especially knowing that Folditure's ultra-flat hanging Tilt chairs are about to hit the market.

May 16, 7:00PM
Now may be a horrible time to buy a laptop, but sometimes you can't wait a few months for a new computer. If you need a new laptop and you need it now, you could do a lot worse than the 11-inch Acer Aspire S7 currently on sale at the Microsoft Store.
