Hilarious Guy Photoshops Celebrities into His Instagram Pictures
May 30, 5:00AM
What do you Instagram? Food. Cupcakes. The beach. The beach with your sandy feet. Clouds. Dogs. Beer. Selfies. High heels. Forgotten Nights. TBTs. And maybe on some off chance, a blurry photo of a celebrity you saw on the street. Or on a magazine. Or in a movie. You're certainly not as hilarious as Peeje T. He perfectly photoshops celebrities into his Instagram. It's wonderful.

It's been 76 years since Amelia Earhart disappeared and we're still trying to find her. Last year, a search team re-evaluated their findings and thought they might have discovered her wreckage. The same group has discovered more evidence on where her plane landed, citing the sonar image above. Have we found her at last?

People Still Pirated Arrested Development Because People Pirate
May 30, 2:30AM
Even though it's incredibly easy to watch the new revived season of Arrested Development—seriously, all you need is a Netflix account—-a lot of people still pirated episodes of Arrested Development. In fact, public BitTorrent trackers put it at 175,000 pirated downloads to be exact.

This Guy Proposed to His Girlfriend with... Vine
May 30, 1:15AM
I don't even... This is just... I can't believe... okay. Breathe. Some guy used Vine and Twitter to propose to his girlfriend. As in he recorded a six second Vine video (selfie?) asking her to marry him, with a ring and everything. She didn't say no.

May 29, 11:17PM
Motorola, a company trying to figure out why it still exists, is apparently making a flagship Android phone called the Moto X. Motorola CEO Dennis Woodside confirmed it in his interview at the D11 conference. Could the Moto X be the mysterious Motorola Google lovechild phone we spotted before?

Zaha Hadid's First Storefront Puts a Living Legend Up Close
May 29, 10:12PM
Even if you don't get down with her brand of extreme formalism, it's hard to deny that Zaha Hadid is a living legend. Hadid is one of the only female architects to have ever won the Pritzker Prize (well, unless you count those who were mysteriously excluded by the Pritzker jury) and the force behind some of the more controversial buildings of the past decade—she's as much an entrepreneur as she is a designer. In fact, it's likely that her architecture, these days, serves as something of a loss leader for the business her brand does outside of the construction industry.

Jamstar Acoustics: A Guitar Learning App That Won't Hold You Back
May 29, 10:00PM
Learn-to-play-guitar apps are a dime a dozen, and to be honest, most of them aren't worth the data they take to download. Light up fretboards are great—until you try to move over to a real, non-illuminated guitar. JamStar, though, works more like a real live, actual guitar teacher would to help you get better on a real live, actual guitar.

DARPA's Using Smartphone Guts to Build Cheaper, Smarter Drones Faster
May 29, 9:45PM
Just a few weeks after President Obama announced plans to scale back the country's drone program, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Administration (DARPA) announced plans to roll out a program for the rapid development and manufacture of sensors to help power unmanned aerial, land and underwater vehicles. The specific technology, the Defense Department says, will come from a manufacturing processor "similar to that of the commercial smartphone industry." In other words, drones are getting iPhone brains and instead it taking six or seven years for the technology to go to market, it will only take a handful of months. So much for scaling back.

A Tiny Grill That Looks as Lovely as Your Beautifully Marbled Meats
May 29, 9:00PM
Ikea is typically the go-to furniture store for apartment dwellers with minimal space, students on a budget, or do-it-yourselfers with a hex wrench fetish. The Swedish chain doesn't necessarily appeal to everyone, particularly furniture snobs, but it's hard to not see the charm in this sleek Lillon BBQ.

How to DJ a Dance Party Without Knowing How to DJ
May 29, 8:40PM
Every quarter-aged hipster wants to be a DJ at one point or another. The only problem is that DJing is actually a really expensive hobby, if you do it right. (And by right, I mean legally.) It used to be that you needed turntables, a mixer, an audio interface, crates of records, a controller and at least one sweet-looking set of headphones. That was then. This is now.

Is Quora Actually Smart?
May 29, 8:32PM
Quora bills itself as nothing less than "your best source of knowledge"—not your dad, not your librarian, not Wikipedia. The company, spawned by two righteous Facebook alumni (one since ousted), has raised tens of millions from investors who think it can back this claim up. But a little poking around shows Quora's got a lot of learning to do—today it's the Tumblr of opinions.

The Golden Gate Bridge Looked Even More Stunning Before It Had a Road
May 29, 8:30PM
The Golden Gate Bridge is almost certainly the world's most iconic bridge, and one of the country's most-photographed landmarks. But here, you see it in a state only a handful of people ever witnessed: reaching across the San Francisco Bay for the very first time.

May 29, 8:20PM
There are over a billion square feet of vacant commercial space in the US right now, most of it in the form of big box stores. This being America, we've come up with plenty of intelligent ways to reuse the department stores at which we can no longer afford to shop: Churches. Parks. Clinics. And now, data centers.

This BASE Jump Off of Mount Everest Is Absolutely Insane
May 29, 7:45PM
Earlier this month, 48-year-old Russian BASE jumper Valery Rozov took a leap off of Mount Everest from an elevation of 23,687 feet, the highest ever BASE jump to date. Thank goodness other people are this crazy so that you don't have to be.

The Retrofuture of Outdoor Advertising Was Even Worse Than What We Got
May 29, 7:39PM
Outdoor advertising is at least 5,000 years old (the ancient Egyptians used to hang papyrus notices advertising rewards for runaway slaves), and fears about how invasive it could be have been around nearly as long. For every glitzy video billboard you curse at today, know that your forbearers dreamed up much, much worse.

This Custom-Fitted Wetsuit Is the Future of Sports Gear
May 29, 7:20PM
It's tough to find a wetsuit that fits you perfectly. Because of the rather intensive construction process brands typically only offer a handful of sizes, and more often than not you end up settling for the best fit available, but not a perfect fit. This little wetsuit company wants to change that.

Physicists Just Created the World's Most Precise Clock—Ever
May 29, 7:01PM
We know that the universe is roughly 13.8 billion years old—give or take a few hundred million years. Which seems like a decently accurate reading. But a new pair of clocks, which can measure time at a 1018 fractional level, makes our own measurements look like child's play. To have the same level of precision as these twin timepieces, we'd have to be able to specify the age of the known universe to within less than one second.

May 29, 7:00PM
2013 is shaping up to be a big year for big televisions, and that means last year's models are going to be dropping in price to make way for new OLED and 4K TVs. Like this 64-inch 3D Samsung plasma set that got a $350 price cut this past week.

Is This Miniature Instagram Projector Adorable Or Completely Stupid?
May 29, 6:43PM
I hate everything but for some reason find this little projector to be the cutest and most adorable thing in the world. Projecteo is a miniature projector—about the size of a jar of Carmex—that transfers nine of your Instagram photos onto a single frame of 35mm Kodak film for you to then show your friends or whatever.

How Fluoride Keeps Bacteria from Eating Your Teeth
May 29, 6:40PM
Portland, Oregon made headlines last week it became America's largest metropolis to not fluoridate its water supply. Why is a simple ion that's been used for decades still causing such a hubbub? Because 70 years on, we're still not entirely sure how it works.

Every Hole's a Piece of Art In This Sculpture Garden Mini Golf Course
May 29, 6:13PM
In their own way, a lot of miniature golf courses—with their twisting layouts, devious obstacles, and over-the-top designs—can be considered art. Even if their sole purpose is to encourage tourists to pay to knock a ball around. But this spring the Walker Art Center and the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden decided to join forces to take the idea of minigolf as art even further by hiring artists, architects, engineers, and students to design the museum's annual artist-made minigolf course, Walker on the Green.
