The 17 Types of People You See at Any Nerd Convention
Jul 24, 5:00AM
San Diego Comic Con has wrapped up and E3 has been long over, which means two of the biggest "nerd" conventions are gone until next year. That's okay! If you've ever been to a convention like that, no matter how much fun you have or think it will be you'd know that going too often will take years off your life. But still, you'll miss the nerds dressed up, the celebrities you can't help but love and the people who take this stuff so seriously.

Nokia 1020 Review: At Last a Terrific Camera in a Great Phone
Jul 24, 4:01AM
The Nokia 1020 represents something fairly remarkable: the nearly flawless melding of a smartphone and a camera. The assumption up until now was that while such a mash-up wasn't strictly impossible, it would surely require a laundry list of unpleasant compromises. Instead, what we've got is an entirely new kind of gadget. One that, most remarkably of all, works as advertised.

The Doubleclicks: Nothing to Prove (Girls Can Be Geeks Too)
Jul 24, 3:30AM
Geeks come in all shapes, sizes, forms, kinds, heights, hair colors, ethnicities and yes, even gender. This lovely little music video by The Doubleclicks shows off geek girls who have "Nothing to Prove" about their geekiness. Geek girls are constantly and wrongfully tested about their geekiness because us dimwitted males can't believe they exist. They don't have to be fake geek girls just because they're girls, people! Everyone should enjoy whatever it is they want to enjoy (well, unless they're hurting people and that's a whole 'nother story). So geek on. And be proud.

Jul 24, 3:03AM
From now on, Motorola will be the only company that makes Droid-branded phones for Verizon says CNET. But of course that won't stop half the world from calling their Samsung and HTC Android phones Droids. Sigh.

Here's Everything Wrong with X-Men
Jul 24, 2:30AM
It's been forever and ago since X-Men first came out (13 years!) but since The Wolverine is coming out this weekend, CinemaSins decided to re-visit the comic book classic (is 13 years enough time to call it a classic?) and point out everything wrong with it. I would have just pointed out everything wrong with the first X-Men Origins: Wolverine movie but I think the entire world is pretending that movie never happened so we can see Hugh Jackman shirtless again.

Watch Bill Nye Explain How We Could Stop an Asteroid with Laser Bees
Jul 24, 1:30AM
Because Bill Nye explains the world better than even experiencing it yourself, here's our childhood maestro of science explaining how we could possibly stop an asteroid from destroying Earth. Giant bombs, huge rockets and even freaking lasers probably can't stop it. And even if they could stop it, we might not be able to build them. So, uh, yeah.

Jul 23, 11:31PM
Let's face it. The new Nexus 7 is no longer a surprise. We've already seen it. We've already seen press shots for it. Hell, we pretty much know all the details. And now here it is in its full packaging, which means someone was able to get a real version of it early. Which means the Nexus 7 is pretty much ready to go.

Photo of Crashed Southwest Plane Shows Majorly Mangled Landing Gear
Jul 23, 10:40PM
So remember how officials were pretty sure that the Southwest Airlines 737 crash landing at La Guardia was caused by a problem with the landing gear? Well, guess what—there was a problem with the landing gear. And according to a tweet from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), it was doozy.

3D Helmet for Surgeons Turns Complex Surgery Into Call of Duty
Jul 23, 10:19PM
Laparoscopic surgery lets surgeons use tiny "keyhole" incisions and micro-sized 3D cameras to operate on internal organs without leaving big, slow-healing scars. It's already considered a revolutionary procedure, and now Sony is introducing a 3D helmet display that advances the tech even further. It's like Oculus Rift for your appendectomy.

NumberSnap for Android: Secretly Snap Pics and Never Forget a Face
Jul 23, 10:00PM
For a good portion of the population, remembering both names and faces is a task too astronomical to even conceive of. You meet a fun, new person, and you don't want to be rude—but chances are, as soon as they walk away, you've already forgotten what they look like. The problem only exacerbated when you've downed a few drinks to lubricate the mingling process, which is when you meet the most potential new friends and romantic interestes, anyway. NumberSnap is a clever, if not slightly creepy, way to to make sure you never forget a face.
What does it do?
Just open up the app when you need to enter a new number, pass it to your new future best friend, and as they enter their contact info, the app will snap a pic with your phone's front-facing camera, putting a name with a face forever. And assuming that you don't want the app alerting your new peer that their photo is being taken whether they like it or not, you can turn on "stealth mode," which is creepy, yes, but also helps make sure you don't call a relationship before it even starts.Why do we like it?
Rarely do we take the time to assign photos to new contacts. What's more, it's pretty off-putting for someone you just met to command you to smile as they snap a pic for posterity. This way, you can appear to be a normal human being and still make your name/face flashcards to prepare for the next meeting. Everyone wins. The only downside is that the app doesn't work with the Android contact forms, so when your new friend is entering their number, they'll see the word "NumberSnap" above the entry lines. Chances are, though, that if you're both drunk or overwhelmed with a number exchange, no one will even notice. Hopefully.
NumberSnap, Download this app for: Android, $1
The Best: Automatic, discreet pictures of new contacts
The Worst: Doesn't use Android's contact entry

DARPA Is Building a Submarine Mothership to Launch Drones From the Sea
Jul 23, 9:45PM
Drones are nuts. After all, they're robotic war machines that kill on command. But the mad scientists at DARPA are working on something that's even more nuts: a submarine that can carry an assortment of drones around the sea and launch them into the air. That's nuts.

Jul 23, 9:28PM
Here we have a mother having a meltdown at The Grove Apple Store in LA. It's unclear what exactly she's having a tantrum over but it's completely mesmerizing. I've had the Vine open on my second screen on loop for the last 10 minutes. I can't stop watching.

An Inconspicuous Wicker Fan That Blends In With Your Cottage Decor
Jul 23, 9:00PM
If you're fortunate enough to have access to a lakeside cottage in the summer, you probably won't lament the fact that air conditioning isn't included. Most of the time, a cool breeze off the lake is all you need to stay comfortable. But on those particularly unbearable days when it feels like the planet's melting, these camouflaged wicker fans should do the trick.

This Nonprofit Is Quietly Cloning the World's Largest (and Oldest) Trees
Jul 23, 8:22PM
The 2,500-year-old Ankerwycke Yew, which sits near a medieval nunnery in Southern England, has borne witness to some serious history. It shaded the King of England during the signing of the Magna Carta. It was a favorite meeting spot of Anne Boleyn and King Henry. And it's likely going to see a whole lot more, after the Archangel Ancient Tree Archive finishes cloning it.

Sci-Fi Legend Arthur C. Clarke's 1986 Predictions for Future Baseball
Jul 23, 8:02PM
In 1986, legendary science fiction author Arthur C. Clarke wrote a book that explored what the world might look like in the year 2019. Titled July 20, 2019: Life in the 21st Century, the book has predictions about everything from transportation to sex. But it's his predictions about sports of the future that may raise a few eyebrows for baseball fans here in the year 2013. Bionic shoulders, 57-year-old third basemen, and open steroid use? Just a regular day for Major League Baseball in the year 2019, according to Clarke.

Watch Goodyear Build Its New Blimp-Replacing Zeppelin
Jul 23, 7:38PM
The current Goodyear Blimps have been watching NFL games from the sky since 1969, and now, just like a player who's been on the receiving end of too many bad tackles, it's time to retire in favor of something younger and faster. So taking the place of the aging GZ-20 blimps are three new Zeppelin NTs, which you can see being built in the video above.

The Five Second Rule Will Make You Sick (And Maybe Dead)
Jul 23, 7:20PM
With an unsettling *splat* your toast has once again landed butter-side down on the carpet. But it's not like you're going to waste another five minutes waiting for a replacement piece to brown. Heck no, just yell out "five second rule," pick that sucker up, brush off all that hair and lint and you're ready to eat, right? Science says no.

The First Instagram Videos Out of North Korea Show an Isolated Otherworld
Jul 23, 6:20PM
Just a few months ago, North Korea decided to flip on its 3G network, giving anyone who somehow managed to find access to a phone the ability to Instagram a landscape that comes with its very own sepia-toning. Now, though, thanks to Associated Press photographer David Guttenfelder and reporter Jean Lee, we have the (as far as we know) very first Instagram videos of life inside this esoteric autocracy.
