Streetlight Manifesto: Ungrateful
May 19, 1:00AM
Streetlight Manifesto's new record, The Hands That Thieve, is an instant classic in the ever-shrinking world of really stellar ska music simply by virtue of being a Streetlight Manifesto album. But what "Ungrateful" brings to the table is something a little subtler; it's a great Catch 22 song.

One of the Basic Math Rules You Learned In School Is Wrong
May 18, 11:30PM
There are probably a lot of things you learned in school that you don't even remember, but the "order of operations"—also known as PEMDAS—is likely to be one that stuck with you; you'll mess up even simple equations without it. The catch? Well, it's wrong.

May 18, 10:28PM
Want some more tech to put on your face? Neither full-on goggles like the Oculus Rift nor slender no-AR-yet specs like Google's Glass, CastAR takes a whole different approach to modified-reality tech by slapping tiny projectors on your face, and The Verge got to take a peek.

Google Hangouts Has a Weird, Fun Multi-Cam Trick
May 18, 7:00PM
So, Google's new Hangouts app keeps all of your chats in sync across all of your devices. Cool, right? But what if you're in a video call on your phone, and then open the same video call on your computer. Boop! Suddenly there's two of you, as I just discovered when chatting with my friend Bay.

Someone Animated Patton Oswalt's Epic Star Wars/Avengers Mashup Rant
May 18, 6:46PM
Not too long ago, Patton Oswalt riffed on his idea for a great plot for the upcoming Star Wars: Episode VII film on Parks and Recreation. Now, it's got a whole bunch of..."digital effects" that turn it into the film we all deserve. It's alright JJ, we've got this one on lock. But thanks for throwing your hat in the ring!

How Much the Starship Enterprise Costs, Google I/O Goodies, And More
May 18, 6:00PM
It's been a big, big week. Google I/O hit this week, bringing along a whole bunch of Android updates, if not a new version or any actual hardware. And aside from all that jazz, we've got an ode to Chris Hadfield, (a wild guess at) how much it would cost to build the starship Enterprise, why 3D-printing is overrated, the best streaming radio service, why your ears pop on an airplane and more.

Watch This Badass Pilot Save the Day With a Ballsy No-Wheel Landing
May 18, 5:07PM
Last night, the pilot of US Airways Express Flight 4560 was having some bad luck. The landing gear on his turboprop twin-engine plane just wouldn't go all the way down. So with some quick thinking and righteous piloting skills, he went in for a wheelless, sparky touchdown, and pulled it off without a hitch.

Share Your Rare Music Collection with the Internet
May 18, 4:00PM
Sometimes, you love a song and it's not on the web. That's just not right, because the three or so generations alive today are largely responsible for making sure that all the important and interesting stuff (and not just cat videos) make it onto the Internet.

This Table Designs Itself With a Corrosive Chemical Dance Party
May 18, 3:15PM
There are all kinds of ways to design a table, but most of them don't include resonant frequencies or specially-designed abrasive enzymes, much less both. Bonus Table 571 isn't most tables though, and that's exactly how it gets its very specific pattern.

The World's Fastest Wi-Fi Puts Your Sluggish Router to Shame
May 18, 2:13PM
For the most part, we're all happy if we can get Internet that's fast enough to stream some HD video. But faster is always better, and a new, world-record setting network developed in Germany is so blazing fast you wouldn't know what to do with it. It can deliver multiple HD films in a second.

May 18, 1:06PM
Lasers, bubbles, edge-tracking, and Daft Punk are all pretty awesome in their own separate ways, but put together, they can put one one hell of a useless, random, but awesome show.

Iowa Farms Can't Seem to Keep Their Pig Shit from Exploding
May 18, 3:00AM
Pig farming is tough, foul-smelling, and dirty work. Turns out, that's the good part of it. See, since 2009 the American hog farming industry has been struck with an explosive pork poop problem—in that the decomposing porcine waste will go boom under the right conditions.

This Week's Top Comedy Video: Vine Tries to Make a Vine Ad in Vine
May 18, 2:00AM
Vine might be the communication tool of the future, but it's not without its limitations. Not the least of which is how impossible it is to describe Vine in a Vine-length blurb. Irony, thou art cruel!

How to Make Your Own Anti-Venom without Poisoning a Horse
May 17, 11:00PM
The Iocane Powder trick really does work! As this slick educational short from the SciShow explains, you've got two choices when it comes to treating deadly, deadly snake bites: you can either hopefully make it to a hospital in time to counter the toxins with dozens of expensive vials of delicate anti-venom, or you can slowly inoculate yourself against their effects—effectively turning yourself into a poison-immune mobile anti-venom factory. Where do I sign up? [SciShow]

May 17, 9:20PM
Most of us have a spot for our spare change, whether it's a glass or a jar or the space in between your couch cushions. These rubber banks, designed by the Hong Kong collective Praxis, are just as practical and a lot more refined.
