What's the Last Picture You Took on Your Phone?
Aug 29, 8:00AM
There's a lovely little video floating on the Internet that shows various strangers in San Francisco talking about the story behind the last picture on their phone. The video 'What's the Last Photo On Your Phone?' by Ivan Cash provides a touching look into something we all do all the time now: take photographs. And even though we have Facebook and Instagram to upload pictures to, many photos just stay on our phones. It's nice to hear the stories behind those pictures. The imperfect, unfiltered, real pictures.

Here's Crazy Person John McAfee in Another Bizarre YouTube Video
Aug 29, 3:11AM
I don't even know what this is. It's not as batshit insane as McAfee's guide to uninstalling McAfee Antivirus which improbably makes it even weirder. Like McAfee has reached another level of ridiculousness by being more calculated in his ridiculousness. Anyways, it's pitched as a tell all by McAfee but eventually he wants you to join his School of Badass. This guy, man. [

Orange Is the New Black: About So Much More Than Life in Prison
Aug 29, 2:00AM
It's funny. Advertising for House of Cards was plastered on every billboard and bus and subway station. Kevin Spacey would stare you down from Abraham Lincoln's seat anywhere you turned. Arrested Development was hyped as only resurrecting the most loved TV show in the past 10 years could be. How many clips and trailers and teasers did we watch? Even Lillyhammer got buzz for being the first Netflix TV show. Orange Is the New Black? As quiet a release as Netflix has ever had. Which was unfortunate, because it's the best TV show on Netflix. And very probably the best new TV show this year.

Nike Lebron 11: Shoes That Look Like Space Rock Diamonds
Aug 29, 12:42AM
Here are the jewels that'll adorn the feet of the world's greatest basketball player LeBron James for the upcoming basketball season. They look like they're brilliantly cut like a diamond. They look like something Iron Man might wear in his future. They also look like something an outer space alien version of The Thing would wear on his feet. Basically, they look nothing like how most basketball shoes are supposed to look.

How to Create an Automatic Lawn Mower That'll Mow the Lawn for You
Aug 28, 11:30PM
You don't even need to buy a Roomba lawn mower, all you need to do to rid yourself from the chore of mowing lawns is to make the lawn mower mow itself. How? Be like this guy who strapped his self-propelled lawn mower with rope to a stake in the middle of the yard. The lawn mower ingeniously mows the lawn in smaller spirals as the rope wraps around the wooden stake.

Unbelievable Google Street View Captures a Space Shuttle Flyover
Aug 28, 10:28PM
When Google's army of Street View vehicles takes to the streets, there's no telling what those wandering eyes will see. Still it's hard to believe that a Google Street View camera captured a space shuttle flying over the New Jersey Turnpike towards New York City.

The Converted for iOS: A Conversion App That Gives You Context
Aug 28, 10:00PM
While this generally goes unsaid, the internet has become a huge crutch—but more than that, we're pretty much blind without it. What do you do when you need to convert meters to feet? Hit a few buttons on your keyboard and bam, Google tells you all you need to know. But the thing is, you're not really gaining anything from having a contextless answer spit at your eyeballs. The Converted can help where Google fails.

Can Bugs, Toilets, and Mushrooms Change the World?
Aug 28, 9:30PM
When Buckminster Fuller died, he was buried under a gravestone with a very peculiar inscription: CALL ME TRIMTAB. Fuller had uttered those words to a Playboy reporter in 1972 (this kind of thing happened a lot in the 70s) to describe the kind of effect he wanted to have on the world. But what did it mean?

Aug 28, 9:00PM
They're a cheap and easy way to add some extra sleeping space to your apartment, but futons are a sure sign that you're either in college, just graduated from college, or can't stop reliving college.

A Former 1900s Coal Mine Reborn as a Modernist's Playground
Aug 28, 8:10PM
Post-industrial cities have long struggled to find new uses for the (often gargantuan) factory infrastructure that once made their towns boom. Usually, that means a park or a museum. But a few cities—like Genk, Belgium—have tried a more experimental approach, turning these decrepit sites into unusual creative spaces.

A Brief History of the Videophone That Almost Was
Aug 28, 8:06PM
The videophone is one of those technologies that more or less snuck up on us. Promises that one day you'd not only be able to hear but see a person through your telephone are nearly as old as the telephone itself. The videophone spent nearly a century as every bit as much a "technology of the future" as the flying car and the jetpack. We were always this close to making our picturephone dreams come true. And then we did, in a way no one expected.

This Ancient Kodak Camera Let Photographers Sign Their Work
Aug 28, 8:00PM
These days there's a mountain of extra data saved every time you snap a digital photo. So figuring out where and when a shot was taken requires minimal detective work. Back in the days of film it wasn't so easy, so Kodak built a camera in 1914 called the Autographic that let photographers sign and denote their shots for easy reference later on. Basically, it was the world's first camera with EXIF data.

Yup, the NYTimes and Twitter Outages Started With Simple Phishing
Aug 28, 7:47PM
As we strongly suspected earlier, the hackers that briefly took over the Twitter and New York Times domains yesterday didn't use brute force or fancy hacks to get in. The LATimes reports that the Syrian Electronic Army used phishing emails to get username and password credentials for several employees Melbourne IT, the registrar for both NYTimes.com and Twitter.com. Be careful what emails you click!

These Synesthesia-Suffering Robots Make Music Based on Colors
Aug 28, 7:40PM
Synesthesia—a condition in which you confuse one sense for another, like "hearing" the color blue—has inspired some amazing art over the centuries, including works from Wassily Kandinsky and David Hockney. But the latest synesthetic art isn't made by humans at all. A London audio artist has programmed these five robots to make noise when they run across colors—and the result is electronic symphony base on hue.
