The Weirdest Thing on the Internet Tonight: Black Hole
May 27, 4:00AM
Our universe being governed by the whims of a pair of rambunctious children in a higher dimension makes a surprising amount of sense.

Amadou & Mariam: Si Ni Kan
May 27, 1:00AM
Amadou Bagayoko and Mariam Doumbia are the couple that make up Amadou & Mariam, an afro-blues group from Mali. The pair has been performing for decades and have released seven albums, including last year's Folila, along with a number of compilations. Both musicians are blind and they are sometimes called "the blind couple from Mali," which is sort of more informational than it is a nickname.

Will We Eventually Need Apps To Tell Us That We Are Moral People?
May 27, 12:00AM
It feels nice to get points. It doesn't really matter for what, but the more points the better. When you check into Foursquare you get points, and it feels nice. And sometimes you even get a badge and that feels like the ultimate vindication, even if the badge is for 10 visits to traffic court.

Ants Will Give You Free Advertising If You Pee On The Billboard
May 26, 10:15PM
Most people don't take a trip to the Amazon looking for publicity opportunities, but if you stumble on one you have to run with it, right? At Smarter Every Day, Destin and his rainforest guides took advantage of the complicated process leafcutter ants go through to forage for salt and got the ants to carry a little Smarter Every Day sign instead of the leaves they normally tote.

Surprising No One, Twitter Is An Arrested Development Explosion
May 26, 9:10PM
The Netflix-only fourth season of Arrested Development went live at 3 a.m. EST this morning, and if you didn't see the Twitter deluge coming, well, you're one of these people:

Ghostly Ship Graveyards from Around the World
May 26, 9:00PM
Where do boats go when they die? Sometimes they end up in vast ship graveyards, sometimes craggy, foggy places where ships have met their doom, and sometimes spots where ships are deliberately left to rust. There's a quiet beauty to many of these graveyards and their resting inhabitants.

Listen To Music Through Your Cheekbones While You Swim Laps
May 26, 7:52PM
It's hard to listen to music while you're swimming because even waterproof earbuds that actually stay on try to conduct sound through air to reach your eardrums, and there's not a lot of air underwater. The FINIS Neptune works on this issue by sending sound waves straight into your face. Total bombardment. In a good way.

Hybrid Fruits Sound Delicious And Sort Of Exist A Little Bit
May 26, 6:31PM
I would do basically anything to try a bananaberry, kiwigerine or pinegrape. No matter how varied and colorful nature is, I will always want more delicious fruit options. And Ogilvy Brazil knows. They sense my weakness.

What Gadgets Do You Use For Grilling?
May 26, 5:10PM
Memorial Day is the first major patriotic holiday of the summer that demands grilling. You may use it as rare motivation to down some dogs and crack open a watermelon. You may interpret it as a directive to commence infinite cook outs. At Gizmodo we're pretty big on grilling, because it's hallowed ground at the intersection of delicious food and awesomely superfluous gadgets.

Sky's Apps Have Been Hacked And Are Off Google Play
May 26, 4:15PM
The British Sky Broadcasting Group has removed their Android apps (Sky News, Sky Go, Sky+ and Sky Wi-Fi) from Google Play because of concerns that the Syrian Electronic Army has hacked the apps. Sky is advising users to delete the apps while they respond to the problem.

Finally, A Wrinkle Reducer That Is Also The Embodiment Of Evil
May 26, 3:11PM
Our superficial, beauty-obsessed culture is pretty scary. People starve themselves or have serious surgeries so they can look a certain way. But for better or worse (definitely worse) we're all pretty used to hearing about those beauty interventions. Which is why it's unusual to see a new wrinkle-reducer and immediately want to shit your pants or run away. Or both. But behold.

Receiving A Gold Plated iPad At Hotel Check-In Is Normal, Right?
May 26, 2:21PM
You know the drill. You pull up to a Super 8 Motel with the vacancy light on, you argue with the attendent about getting a room away from the ice machine, you whip out your AAA card for extra savings and then you take the 24-karat gold-plated iPad the attendant hands you and head off to your room to stockpile some free soap. Boom.

Disco Balls Can Actually Facilitate Art, Not Just Boogying Down
May 26, 1:09PM
Putting 50 mirrored balls in a semi-lighted room seems like a terrible idea. Actually it seems like a great idea for a rave and a bad idea for an art installation. But it worked out pretty well at the CLICK Festival in Denmark.

All the Stuff That Will Happen on the Internet in the Next 60 Seconds
May 26, 1:00AM
The Internet is always hoppin'. Maybe parts of it will be slowing down just a little as everyone and their hermano tunes in to watch season four of Arrested Development, but it'll still be humming along.

Kim Dotcom Wrote a Dance Track and Apparently Has a Whole Album
May 26, 12:00AM
Not content to just launch an encrypted file-sharing site, get stranded in the middle of nowhere, or claim to have the patent for two-step authentication, Internet dude Kim Dotcom is also apparently coming out with an album of dance music? Yeah.

May 25, 11:02PM
OK, you want to try it? Then watch the video above—the whole thing, preferably full-screen—before you read any further. Got it? Good. Let's see how smart you (maybe) are.

Let Your Walls Light Up the Room With LED Wallpaper
May 25, 10:18PM
Who needs lamps when you can make your walls literally light up on their own? They can if you cover them with a coating of LED wallpaper. Wallpaper might be a little past its prime, but with a little infusion of tech and some neat geometric designs, maybe it's time to reconsider.

Hackers That Were Barely Even Trying Stole 44 Million Records Last Year
May 25, 9:00PM
When you think of hackers, your mind might jump to something like a Boris Grishenko (aka "that dude from Goldeneye") typing away on a keyboard one-handedly with virtuosic skill. A criminal mastermind. Verizon's annual Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR) paints a bit of a different picture, for last year at least; most of these guys don't even have to know what they're doing.

What's the First Thing You Can Remember Doing on the Internet?
May 25, 8:01PM
There's no denying the global connectivity literally changed the world, and most of are lucky enough to have been alive and conscious when that paradigm shift was rolling out. You might not remember your first real interaction with the digital behemoth, but you have to have a first recollection. What is it?

A 625 Pinhole Camera Rig Is the Craziest Way to Shoot Bullet Time Video
May 25, 7:00PM
We've seen a few crazy bullet time rigs in our day, but this one might take the cake both for "coolest" and "most over the top." For the music video of London Grammar's "Wasting My Young Years" photographers put together a setup that used a whopping 625 pinhole cameras to awesomely stop time. It's ridiculous.

May 25, 5:30PM
Hey guys. There was a new Xbox revealed this week. Oh you heard? We'll we've got some nice icing to put on that cake. And along with it we've got gems like the world's largest Lego model, the Subway worker who made a massive math innovation, how sunscreen actually works and much much more.

How to Control Your Android Without Looking at It
May 25, 4:00PM
It's getting dangerous just to walk and text at the same time much less do so behind the wheel of a car. But with Siri being just slightly less helpful than HAL, how are you supposed to surf the web and simultaneously travel safely? All you have to do is ask.

A Working Apple I Computer Just Sold For $671,400 at Auction
May 25, 3:37PM
The Apple 1 is a little piece of history, the first in a lineage that's taken the world by storm since its birth in 1976. And that piece of history is worth a lot. An anonymous collector just picked up a still functioning(!) one of the suckers at auction for a cool $671,400. And you thought gaming PCs were expensive.

The Sydney Opera House Is an Incredible Screen for Psychedelic Video
May 25, 3:00PM
As if the Sydney Opera House wasn't already striking to behold, a group of Australian artists called "The Spinifex Group" have made it even wilder. As part of Sydney's "Vivid" festival—which started on Friday—the Opera House will be home to a crazy projected light-show for the next several weeks. And it's awesome.

The Simplest Flashlight Is Just a Rolled Up Piece of Paper
May 25, 2:09PM
A flashlight is a crucial thing to have around the house, but even though it can be super useful, it's probably plastic and/or filled with D batteries. Not exactly elegant. The Paper LED Torch Light on the other hand, is the picture of simplicity.
