Qualcomm Toq Hands-On: This Is Tonnes Better Than the Galaxy Gear

Sep 06, 11:30AM

Disregarding my opinion that smartwatches (unless they're the Pebble, or something as intuitive and elegantly-executed) can all be tossed in a skip and set on fire, I'm actually really impressed after a brief play with the Qualcomm Toq (pronounced "talk," not "toc." Dubbed "the anti-Galaxy Gear" (by us), such is the stripped-down nature of what's crammed inside the 1.5-inch display, it's more of a pimped-out watch than Dick Tracy phonewatch. And that's a good thing, before you ask.

Visualizing Published Science as Forming Galaxies

Scientific research is published by the bucketload every single week—to the extent that it's virtually impossible to keep up with. So this neat way of visualizing published papers as growing galaxies is particularly fun—and useful.

Can You Identify a Mystery Cocoon Which Has the Whole Internet Stumped?

Usually, throw the internet an image of something you can't identify and it's only a couple of minutes until you're bombarded with people pointing out how dumb you are. Not so with this mystery cocoon, though—because nobody can work out where it comes from.

Some Guy Got a Random Guy's Facebook Profile Pic Tattooed to His Butt

Sep 06, 5:00AM

When we said that Selfless Portraits, an awesome website where strangers drew pictures of other stranger's Facebook profiles, is something we should all totally get behind, we definitely didn't mean this: Joey Jordan took one of those random Facebook profile pictures and got it tattooed on his butt cheek.

Could The Fork and Knife Chopsticks Be the Only Utensil You Ever Need?

Sep 06, 3:00AM

Could The Fork and Knife Chopsticks Be the Only Utensil You Ever Need?

There's an eternal battle going on in my head on what's the greatest utensil in the entire world. I flip with a fork but then flop to chopsticks, I side with the spear and then Benedict Arnold to extended fingers. It's never settled. Different types of food require different utensils. If only there was one utensil to rule them all, if only I knew this fork and knife chopsticks existed.

This Might Be the Nexus 5 Because It Looks Like That Leaked Nexus 5

This Might Be the Nexus 5 Because It Looks Like That Leaked Nexus 5

This involves a meticulous combination of dots plus a mini-leap of faith but a LG phone with the name D820 just cleared the ranks of the FCC. Usually this wouldn't mean much to us but it does sort of, kind of look like the mysterious Nexus phone that popped up in the Android Kit Kat statue video that was pulled by Google.

This Parody Video Shows How Apple Will Announce the Next iPhone

Sep 06, 1:11AM

You already know what's going to happen. Tim Cook will get on stage next week, Jony Ive will wax poetic about chamfered edges, Phil Schiller will be his jolly self and a new iPhone will be announced to the world. It'll look a lot like the iPhone we already know but Apple will find some way to make it seem as if it'll change everything. The video puts it best, "to create the new iPhone, we started with a design we really loved and then... stopped."

Photoshop Contest: Put a Galaxy Gear Into an Iconic Historical Image

Time may just be a social construct, but it's one of the rare bits of humanity that will more or less always remain constant. However, the same cannot be said for our timepieces that no longer tell time—our ever-evolving watches.

Ping for iOS: A Mobile Email Experience That's More Like Texting

Every other startup out there is trying to become the new big thing in email, but what we get more often than not is a bunch of half-baked tweaks that sound nice on paper but don't really do all that much to change the experience. Ping, however, actually is probably unlike any other email client you've used before.

Sep 05, 9:32PM

The Rise And Fall of the ARPANET (1969-1989) in One GIF

The ARPANET made its first host-to-host connection in October of 1969 and from there slowly grew into a behemoth, laying the groundwork for our modern internet. The good folks over at Smithsonian magazine recently GIF'd the growth of the ARPANET from 1969 to 1977. But why stop there? Inspired by their wonderful GIFferings we made our own, showing not only the steady rise but the inevitable fall of this now-defunct network. It's like a visualization of the pre-internet internet, if you will, from birth to death.

A USB-Packed Dock For All Your Phones and Tablets To Call Home

Laugh if you will at the absurdity of a dock that can charge and store ten different devices, but if you stop and actually count how many things you need to plug in every night, it stops being so absurd. By now most households have at least a few smartphones, gaming devices, and a couple of tablets. And with an influx of smartwatches poised to arrive, Griffin's new MultiDock seems like a reasonable accessory.

Shooting Challenge: Prisms

Your 11-year-old self appears at your office. He or she takes a look at what you've become—some desk-jockey with yesterday's Panera Bread crumbs on their cheek, some dystopian deformity of the 11-year-old who built their own time machine just to come see you. He or she doesn't cry, but you can tell, they're quite disappointed.
