Jean-Michel Basquiat: The Radiant Child
Aug 13, 3:19AM
It's been exactly 25 years since the world lost one of its greatest artists. Artist Jean-Michel Basquiat passed away from a drug overdose at 27 on August 12, 1988. The Brooklyn born artist started in the streets and meteorically rose through the art scene to collaborate with Andy Warhol and is still seemingly referenced in every other hip hop song.

These Dresses Were Made Using Magnets
Aug 13, 1:33AM
Other than lasers and Elon Musk, magnets might be the most superhuman objects we have on this dear Earth of ours. They can make things fly, they can make things stick, they can demolish laptops, they can make you squeal and scream and feel like a kid. Another thing magnets can do? Make clothes. The two dresses above were "grown" using magnets.

Everything That Is Hilariously Wrong with YouTube in One Video
Aug 13, 12:20AM
Even though YouTube is the greatest tool ever created to waste time, it's also the biggest open house for gigabytes of completely useless moving crap. And even though YouTube can make any video viral, it's also responsible for the onslaught of YouTube celebrities. YouTube giveth and taketh away. This clever animation video by Jello Apocalypse exposes the dumbness that surrounds all the awesomeness of YouTube. You know the YouTube tricks: thumbnails, comments, ads, the front page and so on.

We Need More Ideas as Crazy as Hyperloop
Aug 12, 10:59PM
You know why I didn't like Elon Musk a few years ago? Because of PayPal. Because he seemed like a dilettante. Yet another Valley guy who was ignoring all the hard work and ingenuity that had gone into systems like infrastructure and space travel for the last fifty years; another nerd who thought every system was as mutable as a computer. I was wrong.

Bloomberg: A Retina iPad Mini and a Thinner iPad Are Coming
Aug 12, 10:57PM
Bloomberg is reporting that a retina iPad Mini and a thinner iPad are both set to release later this year. That would confirm previous reports about how the full-sized, big boy iPad was getting the iPad Mini design treatment with a narrower bezel and a thinner body and that the iPad Mini would finally get a Retina display.

Aug 12, 10:25PM

Behold the Horrible Glory of a Hoarder's 250,000-Record Vinyl Library
Aug 12, 9:48PM
Last year, a Canadian record shop called Apollo Music bought a filthy, trash-filled hoarder house. Why? Cuz it was full of records. At least 250,000. These are a few snapshots from the process, and they show the biggest and saddest collection you'll probably ever see.

Brain Teaser Table Is More Complicated Than Ikea, But Also More Fun
Aug 12, 9:20PM
Do you like a challenge when it comes to assembling flat-pack furniture? And we're not talking about deciphering the illustrations and hieroglyphs in an Ikea manual. We mean real Mensa-level stuff. If blank crossword puzzles and unsolved Sudoku grids get you really excited, you'll love the incredibly complicated furniture from Bulgaria's Praktrik.

![Kinect No Longer Mandatory For Xbox One (But Will Still Come With It) [UPDATE]](http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/18wtgyk1l61flpng/ku-xlarge.png)
Another backflip? Back in May, Microsoft said that you'll need have the motion-sensing Kinect plugged in at all times in order for your Xbox One to function, but now they're reversing course once again.

The Key Innovation That Makes The Hyperloop Work
Aug 12, 9:13PM
We just got Elon Musk's PDF describing the Hyperloop, and a quick initial read shows the key factor that makes the system more likely to work: overcoming the Kantrowitz Limit. Don't feel bad if you have no idea what that is — I didn't either, but once I found out, it makes so much sense.

Excalibur Dehydrator Review: The Ultimate Home Jerky Machine
Aug 12, 7:20PM
If jerky, dried fruit, and dried vegetables aren't dietary staples for you, they should be. Enduring edibles are equally handy on camping trips, in an office, or on your couch in your underwear. For 20 years, the Ronco Food Dehydrator has been my personal jerky go-to. It would take a killer dehydrator to dethrone it. The Excalibur did just that.
