This Week's Top Comedy Video: Disney's Vehicle Movies
Aug 10, 2:00AM
If you're over the age of 12, you probably wondered why the hell Pixar ever made Cars 2. And then when you heard about Planes, you probably wondered who in the world would go see a Pixar-less Disney movie that sounds like the direct to DVD cousin of Cars. Merchandising is not an excuse for crap! The formula is simple, really: any vehicle-related movie made by Disney or Pixar is a must not watch. Funny or Die pokes fun of Disney's Jay Leno-like vehicle obsession by showing just how many vehicle-related movies they have in the pipeline.

Watch an Epic Supercut of the Last Shot in Blockbuster Movie Trailers
Aug 10, 1:03AM
This is fantastic. The Nerdwriter Evan Puschak created this killer compilation video that stitched together last shots of different blockbuster movie trailers. You know that last scene. Spectacular explosions, beautiful screaming heads, tense as hell sequences and probably an Inception horn thrown in. It's the scene that if successful, leaves you gasping for air and memorizing when the movie comes out. So putting all those scenes together is like seeing the ultimate blockbuster. Take my money. Give me more.

How Technology Has Innovated Loneliness
Aug 10, 12:02AM
It's simple, as the world has gotten easier because technology has gotten better since touch screens have gotten touchier and social networks have filled every social void in our empty soul, we're still searching for substance. Too often social networks can result in the technological equivalent of empty calories—sure it feels good to get liked and sounds good to chat but it's not as genuine and fulfilling as real life.

Ecstasy of Order: Remember How Good You Wanted to Be at Tetris?
Aug 09, 11:06PM
Tetris and I were born just a month apart. And what Cold War kids we were. Tetris was the brainchild of a young Soviet computer engineer with a knack for building addicting games. I was the actual child of a couple of former hippies with a bit of a disco hangover.

Android Apps of the Week: Instagram, Quick Terminal, and More
Aug 09, 10:00PM
Quick Terminal: Terminal apps aren't exactly known for being efficient as far as UI goes. QuickTerminal at least makes things a little easier on you by letting you store specific commands and assigning them to different shortcuts. The app already includes several basic commands like rebooting into recovery or wiping the Dalvik cache. However, you can easily add in custom commands and run them from a menu. You can even run your very own custom scripts. [Free]

iPhone Apps of the Week: Receiptmate, Snap Save, and More
Aug 09, 10:00PM
Receiptmate: No one save receipts anymore. We buy nearly everything either online or with a credit card, so since we basically have an electronic record of most of our purchases, it's become too easy to toss any potential paper trail. But some of our payments are still made in cash, and if you really want to track your budget, you need to track it all. Receiptmate makes it easy. [$3]

Aug 09, 10:00PM

You can make grids that mix photos, text, Google Maps data, symbols, whatever. And they're sharable so you can collaborate with other users.

Holy Crap, Does This Shazam for Live Music Actually Work?
Aug 09, 8:08PM
Music recognition apps like Shazam are great for telling you what's playing on the radio or at the bar, but they can't help you identify anything that's being performed live. That is until now. Gracenote has shown off an early prototype of an app that will do just that.
