Aug 18, 1:00AM
A few weeks ago, I asked you all what the best song to type to was. And you, dear Gizmodo readers, churned out an awesome list. Between the folks who jumped in on Spotify and the ones who jumped in the discussion, we got a pretty good collection, and here it is in one big playlist.

Aug 18, 12:07AM
Deep below the Pacific Ocean, dozens of WWII pilots are lying in watery graves, still inside the aircraft took them across the sky decades ago. It's far too late for a rescue, but as Popular Science explains, the people behind the BentProp Project—and their undersea drones—are surfacing these soldiers' incredible history.

The Terminator 3 Effects Team Basically Built Real Robot Assassins
Aug 17, 11:00PM
Sometimes when you need a Terminator, a crazy puppet backpack will do. Sometimes, you've just gotta go a little further. And when it came to Terminator 3, the effects team took the second option and basically built actually Terminators. Almost.

This is not a SimCity screenshot
Aug 17, 10:44PM
This strangely beautifully and claustrophobic island city is Male, the capital of the Maldives. Like the rest of the archipelago and other cities around the world, it may disappear soon thanks to climate change.

Wikileaks has stirred up its share of trouble in its day, but it might be up to something more. The site's been posting links to a trio of encrypted files pretty insistently on Facebook, and one of them is a whopping 349GB. What's in there?

Travelers Beware: Google Play Might Delete All Your Books
Aug 17, 7:00PM
It's easy to forget that owning something digitally is way different from owning it for real. And if you do forget, it can bite you in the ass. That's what happened to Jim O'Donnell when he traveled into Singapore and found that Google Play Books app on his iPad had up and deleted all his ebooks.

Need an excuse to go play with matches? Too bad, you're getting one anyway. Turns out if you place a couple matches up against each other just right and then light them on fire (duh), you can actually perform a crazy little levitation trick!

A Beautiful Analog Clock for Dummies Who Are Bad at Telling Time
Aug 17, 4:00PM
I have a confession to make, and I'm sure I'm not alone: I'm really bad at reading analog clocks. I learned how to when I was a kid, and I even wear an analog watch today, but some 15 years of digital crutches in between has made reading old-school clocks kind of a drag. You too? Well here's a clock for the both of us.

ICANN's loosening up and getting ready to roll out a whole new batch of .whatever generic top-level domains, but Google wanted more. Google was pushing for crazy, dotless domains like http://search. But the dream is over. ICANN just smacked it down.

Researchers Snuck Malware Onto the App Store By Making It a Transformer
Aug 17, 1:12PM
No one really knows exactly how Apple makes sure the apps that wind up in its store are safe. All we know is that the App Store has a comparatively better track record than its Android counterpart. But nothing is ever totally safe. Researchers managed to sneak malware onto the App Store with ease by giving their app the power to transform.

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.
