Why the iOS 7 App Icons Are So Ugly
Jun 12, 11:21PM
iOS 7 is beautiful. It's exciting. It feels like a completely different phone—vibrant, alive and a design refresh in the truest sense of the world. But, um, what about them app icons?

If you're into any kind of serious underwater adventuring, you'll probably balk at Swatch's new Scuba Libre line. But at just $90 they're not targeted at timepiece connoisseurs or wannabe Jacques Cousteaus.

Science Discovered a New Human Body Part
Jun 12, 8:38PM
A funny thing happened in the field of anatomy during the first half of this year. Researchers found a previously unknown human body part. It's inside the eyeball, and it's very small. At 15 microns thick, the newly discovered layer of material is so small that even calling it a new body part feels inappropriate. That's what it is, though. A new body part. Right there in your eye.

Jun 12, 8:27PM
Last year when we reviewed New Balance's Minimus Trail Zeros, we were blown away by the lightness, but hated the fit. The Minimus 10v2 Trail is New Balance's slightly less minimal shoe for 2013, and while it isn't perfect, it's definitely a step in the right direction.

Planet Earth Can't Afford Its New Gigantic Particle Accelerator
Jun 12, 8:12PM
A team of scientists unveiled the technical designs for the International Linear Collider (ILC), a proposed particle accelerator that could unravel the deepest mysteries of the universe. At just under 20-miles long, it's about 30 percent larger than the world's biggest particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland. Extra size means extra power in the field of particle accelerators as well as extra capabilities in terms of atom smashing. Physicists hope that it also means the frenzied quest to understand the Higgs boson and to observe dark matter may soon be over.

What Biofuel Is (And Where It Comes From)
Jun 12, 8:00PM
Cars didn't always run on gasoline. Henry Ford envisioned his Model T's puttering along with tanks fully of ethanol. Early diesel engines ran on peanut oil. Of course, the discovery of massive petroleum reserves at the turn of the 20th century quickly put the brakes on that notion—why bother creating biofuel when gasoline and diesel are pennies on the gallon? But now that gas is about $3.64 a gallon in the US, interest in biofuels is on the rise. Here's what we'll use to power 21st century transportation.

Jun 12, 7:40PM
GoPro, the Q-Tips of action cameras, recognized a problem. People are shooting tons of footage with their cameras, but then letting it languish away on a dusty old hard drive, unseen and unedited.

I Got Thrown in Microsoft 'Jail' For Taking Pictures Of Nothing
Jun 12, 7:33PM
There are a lot of secrets that come with a brand new console. Last night at the Forza 5 event Microsoft pulled me aside for taking a picture of a cabinet and a laptop. And, interestingly, I wasn't even violating any rules because, conveniently, no photo rules were stated. Still, I'll never have those 10 minutes back.

Jun 12, 7:13PM
There's a strong probability you'd go crazy living inside of an egg, despite the fact that you actually came from one. But artist Stephen Turner is up to the challenge. Starting this month, he'll be taking up residence in the Exbury Egg, a self-sustaining studio/home/boat/monument to fertility, for the next 365 days.

3DTV Is Officially Never Going to Happen
Jun 12, 7:13PM
That was it. That was 3DTV's best chance. ESPN just decided to discontinue its push for 3DTV sporting events, deciding its time would be better spent focusing on traditional high resolution broadcasts and Tim Tebow daguerreotypes. And that, in a nutshell, effectively kills 3DTV's chances of ever going mainstream.
