Yahoo Announced a New Logo By Not Announcing a New Yahoo Logo
Aug 07, 4:32AM
In what could possibly be the most convoluted way to put on a new pair of purple pants, Yahoo has announced that it will be changing its infamous purple exclamation point logo into... something different. You see, it's not the new simple logo above even though Yahoo posted an image of that new logo in a release talking about the new logo and used that same new logo all over its Tumblr page and is even using that new logo on Yahoo.com. No, no, no. That, I repeat, is not the new logo.

A wise man once said, "Man, parents just don't understand." Adults sometimes need to be roused from their routines (via a few small acts of vandalism and theft) in order to regain their sense of wonder and awe. In Olivia Huynh's delightful animation, a hooded protagonist does what it takes to make people appreciate the night sky again.

The Longest Words in Different Languages Are So Fun to Say
Aug 07, 3:00AM
Though we know the real longest word in English takes three and a half hours to pronounce, more reasonable ones can be done in less than five million breaths. Like these ones! This video lets you hear the longest word in different languages like Czech, Danish, Slovenian, Dutch, etc. and boy some of them are a doozy. Like did you know there's a Turkish word for, "As if you are one of the people that we didn't make resemble from Afyonkarahisar" and a Hungarian word for, "For your continued behavior as if you could not be desecrated"? Fun. [Polyglot Pal via Neatorama]

What It Looks Inside You When a Mosquito Bites You
Aug 07, 2:10AM
This is a video of a mosquito inserting itself into the flesh of a mouse in search of some blood. Scientists were able to watch the entire process through a microscope to see how a mosquito bites down. It's kinda freaky how flexible the needle can get.

Does Anyone Actually Like Their Cable Company?
Aug 07, 1:00AM
Everyone's least favorite cable company is... Time Warner Cable. Joke. Not really. Maybe. Anyway! Everyone's least favorite cable company seems to be their own cable company. Cable companies are an impossible mess to fix, no matter what we do, cable seems to stay the same evil prodding mess it's always been. Seriously, is there any other thing where you pay over a hundred dollars a month for such sadness?

Aug 07, 12:00AM
By now we all should know the epic water bubble beauty that happens when you shoot a gun underwater. From your typical Glock to AK-47s, the bullet-chasing, self-collapsing water bubble looks more like the gun is shooting mini-nuclear explosions than your typical bullets. But does different types of ammo change the look of each shot? Sort of!

MIT's White Blood Cell Magnet Could Revolutionize Disease Diagnosis
Aug 06, 10:23PM
To give you an idea of how micro this video is, those dots you see moving diagonally toward the top of the screen are individual white blood cells. What you're looking at is a microchip that sorts out white blood cells from a blood sample. It makes a great visual, but more importantly, it could seriously improve the way we diagnose disease.

Aug 06, 9:59PM
Ever nervous about the looming threat of a devastating cyberattack, the government is redoubling its efforts to get companies that operate critical infrastructure to buy into its cybersecurity plan. It's so committed, it may even make sure participants get reimbursed… if they get attacked.

iPhone or Android? Who cares!
Aug 06, 9:42PM
Android or iPhone—if it's a good phone, does it really matter? After all, you spend most of your life using apps available for both. So when Gizmodo's Brent Rose says the new Moto X is awesome and you can customize its design to your liking without a stupid case, maybe it's time to ditch your iPhone. Or not! Whatever.

An 83,000-Processor Supercomputer Can Only Match 1% of Your Brain
Aug 06, 9:20PM
You've undoubtedly heard over and over again about what an absurdly complex entity the human brain is. But a new breakthrough by Japanese and German scientists might finally drive the point home. Taking advantage of the almost 83,000 processors of one of the world's most powerful supercomputers, the team was able to mimic just one percent of one second's worth of human brain activity—and even that took 40 minutes.

Aug 06, 9:08PM
There's a longstanding joke that kids would rather play with the cardboard box than the toy inside, but that's especially true with these wonderful Kinetic Creatures toys.

Japan keeps ignoring World War II surrender terms, builds carrier
Aug 06, 8:58PM
Japan has built yet another aircraft carrier. They say it's a "destroyer" to carry "helicopters" but it's an offensive ship that's clearly against World War II surrender terms. It may not have combat jet catapults (yet!) but who cares when they can use F-35s or perhaps a vertical take-off and landing jet of their own?

Aug 06, 8:25PM
The internet's Nikola Tesla obsession is in full force. There's Tesla fanfic, endless blog posts rediscovering the great inventor, and of course, Matthew Inman's tremendously popular webcomic about the man. But curiously, there's one crucial thing missing: Any digitized film of Tesla.

This Giant Floating Orb Is Built Out of NYC's Discarded Umbrellas
Aug 06, 8:02PM
If you happen to be walking around the northern tip of Manhattan these days, you'll see a strange sphere floating in the water near the Inwood Hill Park. From afar, it looks like a geodesic dome stitched together from thin slivers of metal, but inching closer, you'll notice something startling. It's made of trash.
