This Calculator Unboxing Parody Is Hilarious
Oct 07, 10:04AM
Unboxing videos are perhaps the biggest waste of YouTube storage to grace the planet: watch a pimple-faced youth take a phone out of a cardboard container and play with some basic functions! Woo. But here's one worth watching.

Two years ago a NASA engineer named Mark Rober emailed us a halloween costume that used two iPads to make it look like you had a gaping hole in your stomach. This year the system is both more refined, and more gruesome.

O-Zone: Dragostea din tei
Oct 07, 1:00AM
You remember this, right? Moldovan pop group O-Zone released "Dragostea din tei" in Romania in 2003, and it got really popular when it had its worldwide release in 2004. Then callow youth Gary Brolsma of New Jersey posted a video of himself lip syncing and dancing along to the song. Obviously, because it was 2004, he posted it on Newgrounds. And then, like Hamster Dance before it, it went viral.

An Extracurricular And Deadly Use For Pencils
Oct 06, 11:59PM
I wouldn't say using pencils as zombie-killing projectiles would be my first thought, but if you do enough slingshot-ing I guess it makes sense that you would eventually run up against office supplies as a source of inspiration. Joerg updates his pencil shooter to be crank operated and more efficient. It can shoot two pencils at a time for a total of 16 in one magazine. And Joerg sees potential for use with a power drill instead of "muscle operated action" aka humans. Leave the pencil shooter going while you run away from the zombies. Solid plan.

Oct 06, 10:51PM
In March we covered Memoto, a lifelogging camera that takes two photos a minute while you're wearing it. It was in the preorder stage then and with $500,000 more than expected from its November Kickstarter, it had an ambitious April shipping timeframe. Which obviously didn't happen. BUT now it's actually going to ship on November 1st. For real this time.

Bitcoin Seized From Silk Road Is In A Highly Prankable FBI Wallet
Oct 06, 10:13PM
Ross Ulbricht's arrest last week included an FBI seizure of about 26,000 Bitcoins. But you can't just stick Bitcoins under your mattress. Even if you're the FBI they have to be in a wallet somewhere. And people know where. Internet denizens found the wallet and have been contributing tiny sums, we're talking 0.00000001 BTC here, so they can leave public notes expressing a range of . . . feelings.

What's Your First Tech Memory?
Oct 06, 6:40PM
I watched The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air from a young age. I was so young that my hands weren't strong enough to turn the knobs of my parents' retro TV. I'm totally serious. I had to have someone turn on the TV and change the channel for me. And somehow there was never an adult who thought that I shouldn't be watching that show if I wasn't even strong enough to turn a knob. Explains a lot. Anyway, the point is that that was the first TV I ever knew. The tech I interacted with consisted of a Panasonic cassette player and that TV. What was sitting in your family's living room or your grandma's basement when you were little? Journey back to your earliest tech interactions and reminisce below.

The FDA Isn't Inspecting Food During The Government Shutdown
Oct 06, 1:30PM
E-coli outbreaks crop up every now and then. Some are more widespread then others, but if they're related to food and especially if that food may have crossed state lines, the FDA starts tracing to find the source. If foodborne bacteria cause an outbreak in the U.S. today, though, the FDA won't do anything. Because the FDA is closed.

Oct 06, 12:00AM
It was Mogwai that got me into post-rock back when I was in college. I'm still a big fan, but I sort of fell away from post-rock for a while. And I have God Is An Astronaut for bringing me back to the glorious fold.

Oct 05, 11:00PM
China's internet is not exactly famous for its freedom, but it takes a lot of effort to keep it tied down. Folks have done math to suggest there are thousands of government employees censoring China's Twitter-clone Weibo alone. Now the Beijing News is pegging that total at more like two million.

Google Is Sneaking Chrome OS Into Windows 8's "Metro" Mode
Oct 05, 10:04PM
It was one thing when Google's Chrome apps managed to break out of the browser and become real, offline apps, but clearly that is not Google's real long-term play. A recent update to the developer version of Google Chrome basically runs Chrome OS inside of Windows 8.
