Aug 21, 7:40AM
In the ongoing legal battle between craigslist and 3taps, a new court opinion makes clear that people are "authorized" under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) to access a public website. But what the court gave with one hand it took with the other, as it also ruled that sending a cease-and-desist letter and blocking an IP address is enough to "revoke" this authorization.

Hot diggity. LG just announced an insane 5.5-inch smartphone screen that has pixels that must be made from some sort of mixture between dense diamond sparkles and unicorn blood paint.

Aug 21, 1:27AM
The moon you see up in the night sky tonight is a Blue Moon. But no, it's not actually the color blue. Duh, everybody knows a Blue Moon isn't actually blue. A Blue Moon means the second full moon in the same month! But, um, that's not the reason why tonight's moon is considered a Blue Moon either. Wait, what?

These Toys Have Hilarious Real Life Problems
Aug 21, 12:42AM
Toys are supposed to serve as an escape for real life, worries and limitations don't exist when you're just playing around. But artist Santlov imagined a harsher reality for toys, one where they live lives just as boring as ours. In these prints, Santlov puts your typical toys and action figures in mundane situations that people would go through. You gotta admit, it's quite funny to see a toy Joker listening to music or toy Woody and Buzz getting drunk out of their mind.

Everything Wrong with Batman Begins
Aug 20, 11:35PM
2005 was quite a long time ago! That was back when everyone had an iPod, that was when we knew Android as just being a robot and that was the year that Batman Begins came out. And though Batman Begins certainly was a fantastic movie that kicked off an even more fantastic trilogy, there were still little annoyances in the film. Our friends at Cinema Sins found 50. Totally worth it for The Dark Knight. [CinemaSins]

Aug 20, 9:00PM
Mother Earth-lovers everywhere are, at this point, pretty used to carrying around reusable totes for their shopping excursions.

Aug 20, 8:40PM
Shopping for headphones in the $200 to $300 headphone range can be a quandary. The $200 options are mostly all fluff backed by celebrities and marketing jargon. Putting lipstick on a pig doesn't change the fact that it's still a pig, you know.

An Ephemeral Tour of Europe's Abandoned Industrial Ruins
Aug 20, 8:00PM
We Americans tend to conceptualize "old" in very recent terms—which explains our collective fascination with ruin porn. If the decay of European cities receives less attention, it's just because it's much more ubiquitous. French photographer and self-described "urban explorer" Thomas Jorion has made a career out of seeking out and photographing these lesser known spaces—from an ice-crusted Bulgarian monument to a rotting gas storage silo, seen above.

The Kids and Adults Inside of Us Can't Wait For This Imagineering Doc
Aug 20, 7:40PM
Even if you think Disneyland and Walt Disney World are too artificial, too sappy, too cutesy, you still have to admit they completely redefined the idea of a theme park. Visiting them makes you feel like you're entered another world, and all of the 'magic' responsible for that feeling comes from the hardworking designers, engineers, and artists that Disney refers to as Imagineers. Finally all of those talented folks are being given the recognition they deserve in an upcoming documentary.
