Watch the iPhone 5C Get Obliterated By a .50 Caliber Rifle
Oct 08, 5:00AM
In all your years of owning an iPhone, I hope you never have to use it as a bulletproof vest. Because it wouldn't work. It might be able to survive a soft drop on the dirt and come away cracked on concrete and barely scathe away after a quick dip in water but when you pit a iPhone 5C in all its plastic glory against a .50 cal rifle, it's going down in explosive slow motion fashion. The real question is how many iPhone 5Cs can a .50 cal rifle destroy at one time. [RatedRR]

Nikon will release an ever-so-slightly modified version of last year's totally fantastic, D600 full-frame DSLR. The new D610's only change is its drive. The camera will now feature a slowed-down "quiet-continuous mode" that will fire frames sequentially at a slowed-down 3 fps with closer-to-silent shutter action so you don't disturb the birds or whatever you're taking pictures of. You'll also be able to shoot at a maximum of 6 fps (improved from 5.5 fps) when you're not worried about being too loud.

Is the NSA's Data Center Melting Down Because It's Spying Too Much?
Oct 08, 1:37AM
This is embarrassingly funny. The WSJ reports that the NSA's new Utah data center has suffered 10 meltdowns in the past 13 months because of electrical surges. The NSA is basically using so much power in its spying efforts that it is poetically killing its data centers. Seriously, the surges have destroyed hundreds of thousands of dollars in machinery.

Oct 08, 12:48AM

In slow motion.
