Sep 22, 4:28AM
Why do these people still wait in line to buy a new iPhone? Or a new console? Or a new game? What's the point? Do they think they're going to be more special than the rest of the world for 24 hours? A week perhaps? This video tries to get some answers.

Four Year Strong: Beatdown in the Key of Happy
Sep 22, 12:00AM
Vaguely screamy, ostensibly-semi-"hardcore"-but-mostly-without-the-"hard"-part pop punk isn't typically the foot you lead with if you want somebody to respect and admire your musical taste. But screw it, it's Saturday night and let's have some FUN.

Every Museum Should Have a Flying RC Sailboat as a Sign
Sep 21, 10:07PM
The minimal facade of The New Museum has been host to some wild installations since it opened in 2007—ranging from a sign reading "HELL, YES!" to a giant long-stemmed rose. Today, workers finished installing the museum's latest outdoor sculpture: A 30-foot-high remote controlled ship by artist Chris Burden.

Remember before video games had polygons? Or online play? Or more than just an "A" and "B" button? When ducks were hunted and princesses were in another castle? Well now you can stare into that cyclone of NES history with this tornado of video-game-days-gone-by from Pop Chart Labs.

Does Anyone Else Still Use a Mouse?
Sep 21, 8:02PM
With tablets and trackpad-based laptops slowly taking over the world, using an actually old-fashioned mouse seems to be becoming a niche passion for an increasingly small but devoted few. Maybe the mouse should just die already, but I can't be only one who just can't give it up.

How many of us, at some point or another, have actively fantasized about how cool it would be to own an Imperial AT-ST Scout walker? The answer should be "all of us." There's a chance to make that dream come (kind of) true, and it only costs $15,698.62. Roughly.

iOS 7 Reviewed, Nexus 5 Leaks, Apple's Buggy Lockscreen, And More
Sep 21, 6:00PM
Apple's biggest launch of the year happened this week. No, not those new iPhone; it was iOS 7. And even amid that chaos, we still caught glimpses of the Nexus 5, learned how Brazil wants to block the US internet, heard Louis CK rant about smartphones, and yes, we played with the new iPhones. Check it out!

Why I'm Holding Out for a Gold iPhone
Sep 21, 5:00PM
I'm all giggly and giddy because I'm so close to the moment next week when I can plunk down my dollars for an iPhone 5S in shimmering gold. I'm holding out for it. You might think it's tacky, or gaudy, or absurd. But I knew the moment I saw it that it's the iPhone I deserve.

Coke Had to Cancel a Contest After a Bottle Cap Called Someone "Retard"
Sep 21, 4:03PM
It's no fun to be called names, but usually you only have to worry about it from people. That's not always the case, as a Canadian woman learned when she cracked open a refreshing Vitamin water and was met with "YOU RETARD." That's one hell of a glitch.

Can you use your nipples to unlock your iPhone 5S? Look at this guy
Sep 21, 3:17PM
If true, this is really weird. This video shows a Japanese iPhone 5S user using his nipples to lock and unlock the new iPhone 5S, which has a fingerprint sensor built-in. Apparently, the sensor works on nipples and toes!

42 Maps that Will Change How You Think About the World
Sep 21, 2:06PM
Aside from just telling you where you are, or letting you point our where you want to be, maps can do a fantastic job of recontextualizing everything you think you know about the world. You probably know that already, but here's a run-down of maps that do it well.

A Matching Numerical Keypad For Your Wireless Apple Keyboard
Sep 21, 1:00PM
Belkin's new YouType Bluetooth Wireless Keypad looks a lot like Apple's Magic Trackpad. But the only folks who might actually find it 'magical' are accountants, because Belkin trades gestures and multi-touch input for a set of numerical keys and extra shortcuts for navigating large documents.

Just the other day we came across an iOS 7 vulnerability that will let creeps see your photos and even share them from behind the lockscreen. But that's not all! Turns out you can make calls from behind the lockscreen too.

I Would Totally Freak Out If I Saw This Man Flying on a Broom
Sep 21, 5:42AM
For a second, I was stunned that a flying broom can lift a human into the air. Then I realized how silly I am. And then I secretly wished it were true that people could fly on brooms. Then I swore that some angles of the video looked real. And then I realized that it's just a super slick RC plane created to look like a man flying on a broom. Still. I want to believe that people can fly.

This Week's Top Comedy Video: Everything Is Samuel L. Jackson's Fault
Sep 21, 2:00AM
Other than being beautiful (not that Samuel L. is beautiful) and rich and powerful, being a celebrity must be really crappy. Can you imagine all the strangers rushing up to you? Can you imagine all the weird demands that 'fans' have? Can you imagine all the delusional people blaming you for doing your job? Samuel L. Jackson can.

Did You Buy a New iPhone Today?
Sep 21, 1:00AM
Though it didn't seem like it if you were hanging out at the mall or watching the local news or perusing tech websites, the truth is most of the world did not buy a new iPhone today. But a few of you did! Probably more than a few! Did you get in the trenches at an Apple Store? Scamper out to your carrier's money laundering outlet? Peacefully order online? Curse at your iPhone 5 for not having a fingerprint scanner and not giving you an upgrade or just laugh and count sheep from afar with an HTC One in hand?

Leaked iPad Mini 2 Casing Shows a Possible 'Space Gray' Version
Sep 21, 12:17AM
So with the iPhone 5S, Apple introduced a new 'Space Gray' color that is its new black. Not in that tired fashionista way where trends are considered the new black but in a completely literal way in that Apple is calling its black 'Space Gray'. So maybe it's not surprising that a supposedly leaked iPad Mini 2 casing shows that it's also doused in 'Space Gray'.

Most Beautiful Items: September 14 - 20, 2013
Sep 20, 11:00PM
iPhone, iPhone, and uh, more iPhone. We heard a lot about the new iPhones this week. But we also discovered some completely unrelated wonders like a famous Joy Division designer's plans to rebrand Kanye West, or an urban farm in a Shanghai mall. Here are some of the loveliest things we found this week:

Touchy-Feely Speakers Hint at the Future of Haptic Interfaces
Sep 20, 10:20PM
Touchscreens are flat and hard by necessity—thanks to their dense layers of glass, conductive metal, and capacitors. But as haptic interfaces start to appear in commercial gadgets, touchscreen devices are poised to become even more… touchy. Enter Eunhee Jo, a Korean designer who's spending the next year as a designer in residence at London's Design Museum, and who specializes in haptic interfaces.

This Dizzying Zoetrope Turns a Spinning Flatscreen Into a 3D Light Show
Sep 20, 10:01PM
Zoetropes are nearly as old as civilization—the first one was invented in 180 AD—but this is an entirely new spin (so to speak) on the same basic concept. This flatscreen monitor spins at such high speeds that our eyeballs are tricked into perceiving the two-dimensional animations playing on its surface as 360 degree figures.
The project was built by Lausanne University of Art and Design student Benjamin Muzzin, for his thesis project in media and UX design. It's a fairly simple (and fairly dangerous?) setup. Two monitor are mounted back to back on a rod attached to a stabilizing frame—below it, a motor spins the rod and the screen itself kicks into gear. At high speeds, the 2D shapes seem 3D, no matter where you're standing in relation to the screen—taking advantage of a phenomenon called "persistence of vision" in which our eyes fill in the gaps as an object moves at high speeds. Muzzin explains:
With this project I wanted to explore the notion of the third dimension, with the desire to try to get out of the usual frame of a flat screen. For this, my work mainly consisted in exploring and experimenting a different device for displaying images, trying to give animations volume in space. The resulting machine works with the rotation of two screens placed back to back, creating a three-dimensional animated sequence that can be seen at 360 degrees. Due to the persistence of vision, the shapes that appear on the screen turn into kinetic light sculptures.
It's unclear if he has any plans to replicate the process in the future, though these days he heads up a company that makes motion graphics for live music called Dazzle Studio. Which is appropriate, since we're thoroughly dazzled by this video. [CreativeApplications]
