Scanning Fast Food Makes Fast Food Look Even Worse
Aug 17, 5:00AM
This isn't exactly a news flash but hey, fast food isn't good for you. And though sometimes that burger or that hot dog might look appetizing in your head, it never looks like that in real life. Jon Feinstein's photography series about fast food takes the common items we know and love and uses a scanner to create images of them. The results are haunting, soul less and almost depressing. This is the food we enjoy!

The Weirdest Thing on the Internet Tonight: Gary Busey's Crazy Brain
Aug 17, 4:00AM
So a hobo came up to me on the street last weekend to bum a smoke and regale me with a tale of how his forefathers invented the television. This, of course, brought about an almost immediate 1920s surveillance state with Big Brother watching us as we watched The Honeymooners. The CIA, clearly, then exploited this system to "crash the Wall Street," cause the Great Depression and use the ensuing effects to more easily silence political targets. Compared to what you're about to live through, my hobo's drug-addled diatribe actually sounds quite reasonable.

How Much Does It Really Cost to Be Batman?
Aug 17, 3:00AM
In what is quite possibly the most comprehensive look at the financial cost of being Batman, Movieclips Trailers analyzed the Christopher Nolan Batman trilogy and compared Batman's gear to current market prices to come up with the definitive price it would take to be the dark knight. The final tally? $79,237,480.98. Not too expensive for a billionaire, right?

This Week's Top Comedy Video: It's Not You, It's Me
Aug 17, 2:00AM
Break ups are a horrible thing to go through! But what might be worse is that period of time right before a break up when you start to get annoyed with everything your girlfriend or boyfriend does. The way they slurp their food, the icky way they use napkins, their hygiene. Every once adorable tic becomes a grating flaw of their character. Just don't handle breakups like Gillian Jacobs.

Grumby: Mt. Fuji
Aug 17, 1:00AM
I don't care what anyone says—we are in a golden era of music. We're still close enough to popular music's origins to have an appreciation for the basics, the immediate earnestness of a musician and his guitar. But we've really just begun to scratch the surface of the wild, fantastical sounds we can make thanks to technology's helping hand, and because this wired way of making music is still so new, artists are still excited by the prospects of what they can do. We're not bored—the possibilities are just starting to become apparent.

This Animation Teaches You More About Physics Than High School Ever Did
Aug 16, 11:30PM
It's a shame I never paid attention in physics class because outside of Walter White's school of chemistry, physics might be the coolest type of science around. It's okay though. BBC Science Club has got me covered with a fantastic short animation video detailing the history of physics. You know most of it—Galileo, Newton, Einstein—but get to know the other parts of the story of physics you should've learned a long time ago.

It's All Music to Your Ears With the SoundFocus App
Aug 16, 10:20PM
Unless everyone around you took a vow of silence the moment you were born and you spent the intervening years in a sensory deprivation tank, a sound isolation chamber of some kind, or one of our planet's rare, ultra-quiet environments, your hearing is already damaged, at least a little. It's a part of life.

Physically Flawless Google Glass Nerds Hit Vogue
Aug 16, 9:49PM
Is this the "big moment" for face computers? Does pairing a $2,300 Gucci turtleneck or $1,200 Balenciaga boots with a $1,500 pair of gadget glasses make them haute? Will you look like a model—or will the model look like you? No to all of these, of course, but Google's at least scored itself some glossy mag cachet.

A House With a Roof That Retracts, Thanks to a Hand-Operated Winch
Aug 16, 9:40PM
If you happened upon architect Javier Corvalán's house in rural Paraguay while its roof was down, you probably wouldn't give it a second thought—this tiny aluminum box looks more like a bunker than a home. But thanks to a simple winch, the client who lives inside can tilt the entire roof upward by 25 degrees to create a warm, open-air living room.

Aug 16, 9:20PM
Almost like a real-life version of Santa's bag, Unikia's new Compleat Foodskin lunchbag can magically expand—thanks to the wonder that is silicone—to accommodate even a massive midday meal. And when you're done eating, it's flat enough to easily slip in your bag and take home at the end of the night.

A Clock That Conceals The Time Until You Find Its Sweet Spot
Aug 16, 8:40PM
Inspired by the seemingly random clouds of data points recorded when a performer's wearing a 3D motion capture suit, J.P.Meulendijks' Mocap clock requires just the perfect angle to interpret the time.

Architecture Student Converts School Bus Into Cozy Home
Aug 16, 8:20PM
School buses are so much fun. The springy seats, the awkward-to-open windows, the rumbling engine—it all hearkens back to a time in your life when you were younger, happier and worry-free. But did you ever imagine living in one? Hank Butitta did.

Let's Talk About Whatever You Want Right Now
Aug 16, 8:09PM
Happy Friday! It's been quite a week. I know because my desk is a mess, and Wagner eyeing the heap with OCDisdain. It's making me a little nervous, really. What's on your mind though? As always, it's that time of the week when the Gizmodo staff hang out and ham it up with y'all.

Live Your Entire Life in Bed With A Bedsore Detecting Mattress
Aug 16, 8:00PM
Spending your life at home and never getting out of bed is not only considered socially unacceptable, it can lead to serious medical conditions like bedsores. But thankfully one of those two concerns has been eradicated thanks to the MAP System, a pressure sensing mat that helps prevent pressure ulcers from happening.

How a hockey player destroyed a nasty online troll on Twitter
Aug 16, 7:55PM
Ice hockey player Paul Bissonnette (right) can smash your nose with a punch both in the rink and in the internet. The Coyotes' left wing was being harassed by a typical Twitter imbecile called Matt Hogue (left) when he decided to play hardball on the troll. The results were delicious.

This Week in Time Capsules: They Lost a Capsule, But Found Each Other
Aug 16, 7:24PM
Today in our time capsule news round-up we have a mystery time capsule from 1927, some ideas for building your own back-to-school capsule, and former classmates in Connecticut who went looking for a time capsule but wound up finding each other. They didn't find the capsule though. It's nice they found each other, but I was really hoping they'd find the capsule. They didn't though. No capsule. Just each other.

Aug 16, 7:20PM
What you see here is some of the best footage shot from the front and back mounted cameras on one of the P-3B aircraft that runs NASA's IceBridge missions. These vistas are from the spring mission over Greenland and the Arctic, but NASA's going back for more this fall.

Dealzmodo: Nikon D800, MacBook Air $800, Haswell, Mousing Surface
Aug 16, 7:00PM
The Nikon D800 is arguably the best camera you can buy. Its 36-megapixel sensor re-opened the conversation about megapixels, and in terms of raw image quality, the D800 is second to none. Roberts Camera (via eBay) has the manufacturer refurbished D800 for $2000 today. That's at least $800 off a new model, and comes with a quality warranty and free shipping. Gizmodo called it "... as close as you're going to get to an essential upgrade" for serious Nikon shooters, and it's the only camera on Camera Rocket (my favorite DSLR comparison tool) to receive a perfect score for image quality. We don't often lead with such a high-end item, but we've noticed a lot of interest in photography on Dealzmodo recently, and this is an amazing opportunity for the serious photographers among you to save a huge amount of money on the very best gear.

Is Amazon Art a Ripoff?
Aug 16, 6:20PM
It's been more than a week since Amazon launched Amazon Art, a marketplace for fine art where online shoppers can one-click-buy directly from galleries. And while it's great to imagine disrupting one of the wackiest, most unregulated markets in the world, the question remains: Just how good of a deal are you getting on that $1.4 million Warhol painting?
