MacBook Air 2013 Teardown: So Much Battery
Jun 12, 2:50AM
12 hours of battery life on the 2013 MacBook Air is simply ridiculous (though it's also sort of ridiculous that it's ridiculous). iFixit's task force took apart this year's MBA, which is pretty identical to last year's MBA, to see what's new and how it can squeeze so much juice.

Kinect on the Xbox One Is Like Having More Buttons on the Controller
Jun 12, 2:25AM
Gamers who consider their core hard have always thought of Kinect as just some gimmick Wii-successor that they'd never use because true gamers use analog sticks or fight pads or morse code or something. And maybe the first Kinect was like that. The Kinect 2 on Xbox One? Completely different. It's truly an extension of the controller without the constraints of a controller.

Hey Look It's the New Old Xbox 360 Next to the New Xbox One
Jun 12, 12:52AM
Microsoft, for some reason, decided to breathe new life into the aging Xbox 360 by giving it another facelift. This time, it was done to match the design ethos of the Xbox One. But where the Xbox One looks bold and retro future and almost quietly intimidating, the new old Xbox 360 looks like a cheap mini PC tower. At least they match?

We'd Still Be Using Phonographs Today If They Could Play Beer Bottles
Jun 11, 10:20PM
To promote its new record label, Beck's took inspiration from Thomas Edison's phonograph—a precursor to the record player that used wax cylinders instead of vinyl discs—to create what it's claiming is the world's first playable beer bottle. And since Guinness is still battling with U2 over music rights, they just might be right.

Filedrop: Your Semi-Universal Airdrop Alternative
Jun 11, 10:00PM
We finally have AirDrop for iOS—which is great news! But that still doesn't change the fact that you can only share between Apple devices, leaving your Windows brethren high and dry. Fortunately, a similar service called Filedrop just hit iOS, meaning you're free to share and share alike.

New Elevator Tech Could Double How Tall Our Highest Buildings Can Be
Jun 11, 9:40PM
China may be quick on the path to constructing the world's newest tallest building ever, but should they succeed, their reign is probably going to be fairly short-lived—and all because of an elevator. More specifically, an elevator that can travel up to 1000 meters—two times higher than any built before it.

Apple's Favorite New Startup Wants to Be the Pixar of Robotics
Jun 11, 9:20PM
Apple CEO Tim Cook surprised everyone at this year's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) when he invited a tiny robotics startup onto the stage. Out came Boris Sofman, the chief executive of the fast-growing artificially intelligent robotics company Anki. What followed was a glitchy demo of Anki Drive, a seemingly mundane toy car game and the young company's first product. But these are no ordinary cars. These cars drive themselves. They make hundreds if not thousands of decisions a second. They adapt over time. In other words, these cars are smart.

Jun 11, 8:37PM

New Image Sensor Tech Captures Better Photos By Ditching Silicon
Jun 11, 8:12PM
Basically every digital image sensor out there relies on silicon photodiodes to capture light. Jointly developed by researchers at Panasonic and Fujifilm, a new image sensor technology uses an organic layer instead—and early tests results of the technology blow the status quo away.

Here's What the PS4 Looks Like in Person
Jun 11, 8:02PM
Is it possible to be striking and understated at the same time? The PS4 might be just that. Though the early jokes had pointed it as just being an italicized Xbox One, the sharp angles of the rhombus add a lot more character in real life than they do in pictures. Also: the hollowed-out middle divide make the console seem smaller than it actually is. Like the opposite of having love handles.

The Best and Worst Redesigns of PRISM's Atrocious PowerPoint
Jun 11, 7:53PM
There are plenty of reasons to be discomforted by the recent NSA PRISM scandal, chief among them the total obliteration of any remaining notion of privacy we might have had. But there's another (less pressing, yes, but still confidence-shattering) concern that has echoed around our internet's hallowed halls this past week: the fact that this massive, top-secret, data-mining government enterprise allowed a drunk eight-year-old to design their PowerPoint slides.

Can Apple Really Make A Car Infotainment System That Doesn't Suck?
Jun 11, 7:18PM
In-car infotainment systems are nothing new. Over the last decade we've seen in-dash systems that control navigation, the stereo, phone calls and other functions trickle down from luxury models to cars for the masses. They're pretty widespread now, but they have one thing in common: They suck. Can Apple do better?

The Best Media Streaming Box Is Your Deal of the Day
Jun 11, 7:00PM
Apple announced a lot of new goodies yesterday, but it didn't touch the Apple TV. People who were hoping to install apps on their Apple TV were disappointed. But it's okay, because the Roku 3—probably the best media streaming box—has had channels and games for a while, and right now it's on sale.

Inside the State-Run North Korean Factory That Manufactures Monuments
Jun 11, 6:22PM
Inside Mansudae Art Studio, a 30-acre warehouse in Pyongyang, thousands of North Koreans work to sculpt, paint, and sew the often bombastic monuments that have become synonymous with the isolated country. But increasingly, Mansudae's artists aren't just making art for North Korea—they're making it for foreign countries, which pay millions for their meticulously detailed monuments and sculptures.

Jun 11, 6:03PM
Google has asked Attorney General Eric Holder and Director of the FBI Robert Mueller to allow the company to publish data about the secret national security requests it has received from the government. Google says the data will help clear it of the reports which surfaced last week alleging the company has granted the government "unfettered" (read: direct) access to its servers.
