Bing Maps Has Revealed Russia's Secret Stealth Fighter Jet
Jun 28, 3:10AM
Bing Maps is apparently really great at one thing: revealing top secret military information. After capturing a top secret military base, Bing has now caught a stealth Russian airplane that's been shrouded in mystery. The Bing Maps image above shows Russia's MIG Project 1.44, Russia's first attempt at building a stealth fighter jet. A jet that Russia might have sent to China to kick start China's stealth program. A jet that was supposed to be Russia's answer for the F-22 Raptor.

These Low Tops with Curved Laces Are Somehow Basketball Shoes
Jun 28, 2:05AM
Kevin Durant, the best basketball player in the world who isn't a hybrid of a beast and monster, has a new pair of shoes. And it's a low top. And it has a tongue that curves. And it basically looks like a soccer shoe. But it's for basketball and they're so bizarre looking that I think I'm falling for them.

Everyone Who Records Video on Their Phone Needs to Follow This Rule
Jun 28, 1:08AM
I understand that when you take a picture or video with your phone, it makes a lot of sense to hold your phone upright. It's more comfortable! It's totally natural! And though Instagram has helped fix portrait mode pictures by squaring them off, we still haven't solved the portrait video problem. It's awful to watch videos like that. Everyone who does it is just a bunch of scrubs.

The Difference Between a Geek and a Nerd in One Graph
Jun 28, 12:22AM
It's 2013. We should all know that there are clear differences between calling something a nerd and calling someone a geek. This is a fact! Slackpropagation created this nifty graph that shows the dividing line on what defines a geek and what defines a nerd. The easiest way to tell the difference? Geeks are fans of a certain subject, nerds are practitioners of that subject. But fret not, geeks can be nerds and nerds can be geeks too!

We've seen loads of pop-up urbanism over the past few years, from parks to libraries, all designed to turn dead urban space into lively ones. But how do you stop people from immersing themselves in their phone screens in public? By building a larger screen, where they can be immersed together!

Do geek stereotypes keep women out of computer science?
Jun 27, 10:00PM
The media is full of geek stereotypes, everywhere from Big Bang Theory to episodes of CSI and NCIS. These images of geeks as antisocial, immature dorks may seem harmless — but a new study suggests these media images help keep women out of computer science.

NoteSuite for iPad: Meet Evernote's New, Subscription-Free Competition
Jun 27, 10:00PM
After finding success with note-taking/to-do app Projectbook last year, Theory.io has decided to overhaul their signature productivity app and take it a step further. Now, hoping to go head-to-head with big dogs like Evernote, the developers are officially re-releasing the app as NoteSuite—the potential answer to all your disorganized digital life woes.
What does it do?
Just like its first incarnation, NoteSuite still you take notes and make to-do lists, but that's only a very small portion of the new beast. You can also annotate essentially any type of content (web pages, articles, PDFs, etc.), clip web pages, record audio, and search through various file types as one. Your data will sync across your various devices (which would be limited to Macs and iPads at this point).
Why do we like it?
One of the biggest differences between this and Evernote is that you're not going to have to pay any sort of subscription fee, and you still get virtually all the perks. And the annotation function on the app is fantastic. Nothing is safe from your highlighting, annotating, signing, typing fingers—you can write and draw on practically any document by converting it to a PDF. The fact that search can work across files that haven't been converted or organized is another huge bonus. And if you were already a ProjectBook user, you can nab the update totally free. Of course, the fact that there's no iPhone version yet is a pretty big mark in the "con" column—but the app is young, hopefully a more mobile-friendly edition is soon to come.
NoteSuite, Download this app for: iPad, $2
The Best: No subscription fee
The Worst: No iPhone version

One Simple Hook to Solve a Million Problems
Jun 27, 9:40PM
You know that phrase "don't mess with a good thing?" Sometimes you come across a product that's so simple, and so-self evident about it that it's perfect. I feel that way about the Unihook by designer Pat Kim.

Specialized Turbo Test-Ride: Holy Crap This E-Bike Is Amazing
Jun 27, 8:20PM
E-bikes are much-maligned by the cycling community and non-riders alike. They're for lazy people. They're so ugly and clunky looking. But Specialized has come up with an answer for both crowds. You will want to hate the Turbo. You will fail.

This Silk-Screened Art Glows With Electroluminescent Ink
Jun 27, 8:13PM
When someone brings up silk-screening, you might think of hand-made t-shirts or concert posters. What you probably don't think of is electric current and glowing surfaces. But at the University of Pennsylvania, traditional screen-printing and high technology are colliding to create incredible, eye-melting artistic experiments.

Salt and Pepper Spoon Shakers Give You Precisely Portioned Seasonings
Jun 27, 7:51PM
Finally putting an end to the gag where someone unscrews the lid of a salt shaker, Jaemin Jaeminlee's Sogum HuchuHuchu is a radical re-thinking of how we season our food at the table. They still require a bit of shaking to get the spices out, but instead of dumping it directly onto your food, the salt and pepper spills into a small scoop. Using your fingers you're then able to select an exact amount of seasonings for your meal, while the unused bits can be returned to the shaker.

iOS 7 for iPad First Impressions: Messing With the Best
Jun 27, 7:34PM
Since its inception, the iPad has been the gold standard for tablets. Nothing else has come close, really. A lot of credit goes to iOS, which has ceded plenty of ground to Android on phones but remains easily the friendliest tablet software. So changing up iOS 7 means changing up the very best tablet OS there is. Here's how that's working out so far.

Every Secret Agent Wannabe Needs a Quadcopter Belt of Death
Jun 27, 6:15PM
You could probably argue there are worse offenders, but there's no denying that James Bond's Thunderball jetpack is definitely up there in the pantheon of ridiculous 00-gadgets. Tinkerer Rodger Cleye recently tried to put a more realistic spin on the concept, and the result is this still-ridiculous-but-fully-functioning quadcopter "belt."

Magnetic Microbots Perform Eye Surgery Without a Single Incision
Jun 27, 5:50PM
Our eyeballs are some of our more delicate organs, and the mere thought of them having to be sliced open for surgery is unsettling. So researchers at the Multi-Scale Robotics Lab at ETH Zurich have created a magnetically-guided microbot, barely larger than a few human hairs, that can be embedded in the eye and externally controlled to perform delicate surgery without any part of the patient having to be sliced open.
