How Machines Think
Aug 14, 9:32AM

How Prescription Drugs Get Such Weird Names
Aug 14, 8:39AM
Prescription pharmaceuticals tend to have some pretty weird and wonderful names: Bremabecestat, Vepoloxamer, Nexbolizumab, Orilotimod. They sound more like characters from sci-fi films than something you'd want to ingest. So where the hell do they come from?

Aug 14, 4:20AM
Apple just bought a small startup company you probably never heard of called Matcha.tv. Why is this important? Because it might, maybe, could possibly reveal what Apple sees as the future of Apple TV: a channel-less oasis where it doesn't matter what streaming service you watch your favorite TV show on as long as it's through Apple TV.

The Funniest Video on the Ridiculousness of Kickstarter
Aug 14, 3:20AM
Kickstarter can be a fantastic launching pad for people with real knowhow and real talent to make real ideas, well, real. There are a lot of wonderful success stories! At its very peak, Kickstarter gives everyone a shot at success. But there are also a lot of epic failures too. The truth is, like much of the Internet (or the world), a lot of stuff on Kickstarter is crap. And if it's not crap, it's not special. And if it's not special, it's not worth it. And if it's not worth it, Kickstarter becomes a cesspool of overeager online panhandlers shaking you down for money.

And if you love the Internet, you should probably avoid every other color because they all have different degrees of censorship, with pink being the most pervasive (gray is not classified).

Wow. This is incredible. Captured by high-definition microscopy, the footage shows the buzzing world and slimy life inside a single drop of pond water. It's completely alien, it's unnerving and it makes your stomach turn itself inside out. There are brown flatworms, Medusa looking nematodes, starfish-like hydras 'defecating' and more oozy organisms.

Aug 13, 11:53PM
Earlier today, students at California State University, Long Beach were asked to evacuate and/or take shelter after reports that there was an "armed gunman" on campus.

What If Star Wars: Episode II Was Actually a Good Movie?
Aug 13, 11:07PM
Depending on where you stand as a fan of Star Wars, Star Wars Episode I, II and III either destroyed everything you believed in humanity or were never actually real movies to begin with. But what if in an alternate universe (possibly far far away) that trilogy was actually, like, good? I know, hard to imagine. But it's possible! Belated Media imagined how to make Star Wars: Episode II good and it actually sounds quite fantastic.

The Most Convoluted DMCA Takedown Request of All Time
Aug 13, 9:40PM
Anti-Gay group Straight Pride UK is abusing the DMCA takedown process to censor work by a journalist. No surprise there—the DMCA is twisted for all kinds of dumb purposes. The inexplicable part? The hate group filed a takedown on... its own press release. How dare you say that we said the words that we wrote in a press release.

This Museum's Interactive Exhibit Tricks Kids Into Art Appreciation
Aug 13, 9:20PM
When I was a kid and we'd visit places with fragile things, my mom would order me to "look with your eyes, not with your hands."

Why Smoking a Bowl Makes You Tired and Lazy
Aug 13, 8:20PM
Even as the body of evidence of cannabis' potential as a potent medical precursor grows (especially with the development of CBD-rich strains), smoking it is not without long-term side effects. And we're not just talking about munchie-induced weight gain, either. A number of recently published studies suggest habitually getting high not only kills your motivation, it might even alter your brain chemistry.
