How Every Argument About Xbox and PlayStation Ends
Aug 30, 2:00AM
It doesn't matter if you're talking about the Xbox One versus the PlayStation 4. The 360 versus the PS3. Pitting Xbox Live against PlayStation Plus. Comparing Microsoft and Sony. Even including Windows Phone with the PSP. Whatever. Any argument between Xbox fanboys and PlayStation fanboys eventually reaches the point where they're both so thankful that they're not Nintendo fanboys. How about that 2DS guys!

Asimov's 2014 Predictions Were Shockingly Conservative For 1964
Aug 29, 8:23PM
In 1964, sci-fi legend Isaac Asimov penned a piece for the New York Times with his predictions for the world of 2014. Looking at the World's Fair of 50 years hence, Asimov imagined 3D TV, underground cities, and colonies on the moon. Many people online have hailed this as an incredible example of prescient thinking, but what sticks out to me is just how shockingly restrained—unoriginal, even—his predictions were for the time.

Not so at Munich's largest art museum, where workers simply built a gigantic scaffolding reconstruction next door.
