Flipp Delivers Circulars To Your Tablet Instead of Your Porch
Nov 05, 1:14PM
Smartphones and tablets may have replaced a daily newspaper for many of us, but saying goodbye to the morning gazette also meant losing those weekly circulars and a surefire way to keep track of when dish detergent's on sale. Thankfully, a new free app called Flipp, available for iOS today and Android early next year, promises to deliver all of those lost (but not forgotten) circulars directly to your smartphone or tablet.

Two planes crash in fiery mid-air collision, everyone survives
Nov 05, 4:21AM
This terrifying two-plane crash somehow miraculously resulted in no fatalities. It's insane that people could survive after two planes hit each other in mid-air. It's almost impossible that everyone could survive from the fireball and ensuing chaos after the crash. But they did. Thank God.

Nikon Df: A DSLR Monster With a Slimmed Down, Old-School Streak
Nov 05, 4:01AM
Even at the top echelons of professional photography, the lumbering DSLR is becoming a bore. Smaller shooters with big camera specs are the trend, and with that mandate in mind, Nikon's releasing the Df. The new DSLR—yes, DSLR, not the full-framed mirrorless monster of rumors—inherits its key guts from Nikon's flagship D4 in a package that's just over half the size and weight of that ogre. More than just a relatively compact full-frame camera, the Df looks like a relic from the glory days of film photography—and in a lot of ways, it shoots like one, too.

These wire sculptures actually look like people frozen in carbonite
Nov 05, 3:19AM
It's sort of unbelievable but these sculptures are all made from aluminum wire. When you look at the artwork up close, you can see each line of wire coming together to form the body of a human but when you're looking from far away it totally looks like people frozen in carbonite.

An awesome guy made an insane Thor hammer that smashes everything
Nov 05, 1:35AM
This ridiculously awesome man made version of Thor's hammer Mjölnir is so impressive that even our most Thor-like human Chris Hemsworth would have trouble swinging it around. Though it's not quite the weight of 300 billion elephants, it's the closest thing to Mjölnir on Earth. That's because it's made from 10 separate pieces of steel alloyed with chromium and molybdenum. At its heaviest, it can weigh over 200 pounds.

Loving father built a prosthetic hand for his son with a 3D printer
Nov 05, 1:33AM
Kids are just the best. And dads who love their kids make them even better. Leon is a boy who was born without fingers on one of his hands. Instead of making him think he was different, his father Paul McCarthy made him believe he was special. In fact, McCarthy made a prosthetic hand with a 3D printer so his son could be excited to become a cyborg. And Leon totally is.

Nov 04, 10:59PM

Design FX for Wired talked to the film's graphic team to see what it took to make those near-operatic sequences match up to the physical constraints of space.
