Sony Vaio Pro: Sony Is Finally Making Good Laptops Again
Jun 05, 3:45AM
Sony will tell you a lot of things about the new Vaio Pro, which replaces the Vaio Z at the top of its laptop heap. It might say that it's exceedingly light, and made from carbon fiber. Or it might say that it's got new Intel Haswell guts. But what it should really say is just this: It doesn't suck. And that's the biggest change to Sony laptops in years.

What Would You Do Inside a Slow Motion Video Booth?
Jun 05, 3:00AM
Here's a fun party idea: get a bunch of people together with 11 kegs and 1 slow motion video booth and see what happens. That's pretty much what these guys did, they hooked up a Phantom Miro camera and let people go nuts with whatever they wanted to do at 1500FPS.

Jun 05, 2:00AM
There are few things as refreshing as feeling the wind blow against your hair. There are few things as scary as violent winds smashing and crumbling a town. So what is wind? And where does it even come from?

The Reason We Need a New Superman Movie Is Because the Last One Sucked
Jun 05, 1:00AM
Studios make movies so they can fill seats to print money to make more movies to fill more seats to print more money. And the easiest way to start printing money is to go with an established movie franchise. Like Superman! But the real reason we need a new Superman movie (as opposed to needing a new Spider-Man movie) is because the last one, Superman Returns, was so bad. Sure a little money for the studio wouldn't hurt either but just watch everything that was wrong with it in 6 minutes. It's A LOT going bad. Hopefully Man of Steel fixes it! [CinemaSins]

Jun 04, 10:42PM

The Congo's Unending War Captured in Vivid Infrared Color
Jun 04, 10:11PM
Irish war photographer Richard Mosse has traveled to the Democratic Republic of Congo three times in the past three years—he's made it his mission, he says, to document a war so deep-seeded and tragic that it challenges "the limits of description." To describe the indescribable, Mosse has developed a unique methodology: he shoots using Kodak Aerochrome, a rare infrared film originally developed by the military to spot camouflage from above.

Moment Camera: A Better iOS Camera App Without the Crap
Jun 04, 10:00PM
At this point, the quality of your iPhone's camera has far surpassed Apple's dinky little stock app. And if you're ready to size up, the App Store runneth over with alternative camera apps—and don't even get me started on the filters. Moment Camera, however, gives you the experience your camera deserves.
What does it do?
Opens with a bright, minimal UI that stays as out of the way as possible until you need to call on a specific feature. Tap anywhere on the screen to manually focus on that specific object, and you can choose one of the near-transparent buttons up top to adjust flash, activate sequential shots, set the timer, or show a variety of framing grids. Basically, some of the most requested features with none of the clutter.
Why do we like it?
Moment Camera is a huge improvement to Apple's proprietary camera app both in user experience and aesthetic appeal. But one of our favorite things isn't what it does but rather what it leaves out. So many other camera alternative hopefuls try so hard to overcompensate for what Apple lacks that they end up making themselves nearly unusable. Here, however, you get some very handy and, more importantly, easy to use features give you more control without diminishing the user experience. Anyone with more lofty camera aspirations probably won't be satisfied with what Moment Camera has to offer, but for everyone else, it might be exactly what you never knew you were looking for.
Moment Camera, Download this app for: iOS, $1
The Best: Clean, clutter-free interface
The Worst: Camera-nuts may want something more

The New Arrested Development Season, Edited into Chronological Order
Jun 04, 9:30PM
Hey now! So by now, chances are you've seen the new Arrested Development episodes in Netflix. And while a lot of people loved them just fine as they are, many others had a problem with the non-standard editing, which didn't really resemble the original show. Now, thanks to the miracle that is "nerds on the internet", we have what the new episodes might have looked like in a more typical season.

Jun 04, 9:24PM
In New York City, buildings are changing hands all the time—and nothing really lasts forever. The legendary music venue CBGB? Well, it's now a John Varvatos store. And this grimy mechanic's shop at the northern end of Manhattan? It was once the entryway to a beautiful 19th century estate.

Hello Kitty Apparently Has a Reversible Plush Line Straight from Hell
Jun 04, 7:41PM
Despite what we were taught as kids, it seems those big golden birds we serve up at Thanksgiving might not actually be turkeys—at least if you're from Japan. If this $28 Hello Kitty plush toy is assumed to be biologically accurate—and I see no reason why it shouldn't be—turkey dinners actually come from cute cultural icons turned inside-out. It doesn't get much more horrifying than that.

Intel Haswell Review: Can a Laptop CPU Keep Enthusiasts Happy?
Jun 04, 7:14PM
Faster hardware shouldn't be this somber. Yet we can't help but furrow our brow in concern over Intel's fourth-generation Core i7 CPU, Haswell. Yes, in typical Intel fashion, it's a tour de force of technical achievement and features that's the envy of the free world. It's also, by the way, quite fast.

Lego Must Make These 80s TV Show Cars ASAP
Jun 04, 7:08PM
I'm eagerly awaiting for Lego to release the official Back to the Future sets—note to Billund: you should make the RC model too—but I want more. I want all my childhood remade using Danish bricks (never mind that most of my childhood was actually made of Lego bricks). I really want all the sets above to be official: the Ghostbuster's Ecto-1, the Dukes of Hazzard's General Lee, the A-Team's GMC Vandura, and Knight Rider's KITT.
