Sep 17, 11:22PM
Dinosaurs! No. Blue whales! No? Pandas? Ha. It really depends on what you consider a thing and what's not a thing. And what's actually living and what's not traditionally considered living but is.

Sep 17, 9:40PM
This gorgeous experimental film by director Joey Bania explores the unique and dazzlingly creative world of Blair Somerville, resident inventor, tinkerer, and self-described "organic mechanic" of Popotowai, New Zealand. The film, which mixes elements of documentary film making with time-lapse motifs and stop-motion animation, focuses equally on the fruits of his endeavors (the hand-cranked tin can Kraken is especially impressive), his workflow, and his unorthodox design philosophy.

Sep 17, 8:23PM
Last week's announcement that the new iPhone 5 will include a fancy new fingerprint scanning security system was met with a chorus of protests.

Oh God, what if muggers cut off my thumbs to unlock my phone when they steal it?!? Relax. None of that's going to happen. Here's why.
