Ctrl Shift: If Computers Were Alive They'd Just Want to Bone You (NSFW)
Jul 12, 5:00AM
Thank God computers are satisfied with the one-way relationship we have with them. We put them to work every single day, asking them to check our e-mail, using them to follow the news, play with them by going on Facebook and making them creep to the darker corners of the Internet. What do they get for all that? Just dusty, hot and dirty.

The Rise of Artificial Intelligence Is Absolutely Fascinating
Jul 12, 3:20AM
We poke fun of Siri and pretend to get scared by Humanoid robots and make our neck hair stand up straight by watching quadrocopters do amazing things but the truth is, artificial intelligence is still pretty dumb. But that's going to change! The rise of artificial intelligence is happening and they're learning a lot more about us because we're learning more about them. Sort of.

Netflix Might Give Us Another Season of Arrested Development
Jul 12, 2:24AM
Though some people weren't as fanatical about Netflix's Season 4 of Arrested Development, I loved it (especially once it got rolling). So I'm ecstatic that Netflix is currently in talks to do another season of Arrested Development. As awesome as a movie has sounded in the past, more episodic puzzles in the name of Arrested Development is always a good thing.

How Typography Moved from the Paper to the Screen
Jul 12, 1:30AM
Typography is something most of us see almost everyday but only few of us really pay attention to the details. It's all around us that it's sometime easy to gloss over. This lovely little animation describes its importance and how we've had our fun with it, first by showing the basic rules of typesetting and then transitioning to how typography has evolved in movies.

What We Did Before the Internet
Jul 12, 12:30AM
I have absolutely no idea how I'm going to explain to my future kids what life was like before the Internet. Those stories of a pre-YouTube, pre-Wikipedia, pre-Google, pre-iPhone, pre-iPad day will be the modern day equivalent of my parents' stories about walking a mile to school barefoot in the snow with two barrels of water and a fresh chicken attached to a stick going uphill there and uphill back.

Groopic for iOS: Photographers Can Finally Be Part of Their Own Shots
Jul 11, 10:00PM
The group shot dilemma—it's the bane of both narcissists and scrapbooking enthusiasts alike. But what are you supposed to do when you want to snap a pic of a precious moment between friends, but the only person around to take the picture is, well, you? Fortunately for you, Groopic has taken it upon itself to leave no group shot incomplete.
What does it do?
Quickly and easily merges two photos to create one cohesive final product. Your friends arrange themselves, you snap a pic, and then you switch out with one of your pals, who will then take the second photo. Once you have both shots ready, you tell the app which two individuals took on the role of photographer, and Groopic goes to work merging the two and creating a single photo of all your friends and, most importantly, you.
Why do we like it?
All this could be done with the help of most photo editing programs, yes, but while Groopic only offers one of the features those services might offer, it's the feature that solves an incredibly common problem. You're normally left with a few less than ideal options—praying for the mercy of a kind, passing stranger, forcing one unlikely friend out of the memory, or awkwardly attempting a group selfie.
People have generally come to accept this fate, but thanks to Groopic, there's a better way. And though you do have to position yourself somewhat specifically for the app to work, it's worth it for a group shot that isn't cut in half by someone's arm holding the camera. Plus, the app is on sale for a limited time for $2.
Groopic, Download this app for: iOS, $2
The Best: Gets everyone in the pic
The Worst: Both photographers will need to stand on either end

Bremont's Codebreaker Watch Pays Homage to WWII's Enigma Crackers
Jul 11, 8:40PM
The allied victory in World War II can be as much credited to the brave men and women who fought with weapons as it can the scientists and mathematicians who successfully broke the secret codes used by the Germans, including the famous Enigma machine. And Bremont is commemorating that accomplishment with a limited edition timepiece called the Codebreaker that incorporates elements of Britain's code-breaking efforts.

The Inspector Gadget Tech That Ended Up Becoming Real
Jul 11, 8:14PM
Back when many of us were still kids and many more had yet to even be twinkles in our mothers' uteri, Inspector Gadget was the apotheosis of all of technology's promises—many of which, it turns out, came true. Vanity Fair has a wonderful little collection of those gadgets of the inspector's that were particularly prescient.

Pacific Rim Review: Holy Sh-t That Was Great
Jul 11, 7:30PM
One of the most important things any great action movie needs is a lead actor who can deliver an absurd line and have it sound awesome. One who makes you cheer instead of laugh when he says something that is by all rights laughable. Pacific Rim doesn't have one of those. But it still manages to be the best summer action movie since Independence Day.
