Is BlackBerry Getting the Android Google Play Store?
Nov 11, 12:30PM
I think at this point we can pretty safely say that BlackBerry's BB 10 relaunch was a bit of a disaster for the once-mighty Canadian smartphone makers. I mean, you don't give your CEO the boot for nothing right? And it now seems the company is ready to fully capitulate to its Android rival.

The Truth About New Technologies
Nov 11, 9:32AM
Will [INSERT NEW TECHNOLOGY HERE] make us richer, poorer, dumber or smarter? Probably not. Will it ruin industry, arts, creativity and culture? Wouldn't have thought so. Will it corrupt the young? Um, maybe.

Oddly Compelling Visualizations Of CGI Musical Instruments
Nov 11, 2:00AM
I remember watching Animusic videos on PBS in the early 2000s. I was always vaguely fascinated by them, even though the graphics looked kind of cheesy. I like the idea that every single note in the composition is supposed to be produced by a specific collision, like a ball bouncing on a percussion instrument. Also, where is this supposed to be taking place? Weird pneumatic pipe/music room? Imagination land? Who knows.

A lot of things can bother you while you're trying to work, but what about things that you only perceive as nagging? In Keyfleas, little lights follow your fingers around a keyboard like a swarm of fleas, and can create the sensation that something is nipping at your fingers.

You Wouldn't Think To Set Up Such Clever Domino Destruction
Nov 10, 11:25PM
At 20,000 to 25,000 dominoes total, what you're seeing in this video doesn't come close to the world record. But that doesn't matter, because these domino setups are incredibly involved and creative.

China installed more than 60 security cameras on one street light
Nov 10, 10:10PM
Paranoid much, China? Cause it sure as hell looks like it when you have more than sixty security cameras strapped onto a single street light. This photograph, taken at an intersection in Shanghai by NetEase, hilariously captures the personal privacy be damned, big brother monster attitude that everyone imagines China to have. It's perfect, really.

Do You Lock Your Phone?
Nov 10, 7:43PM
Confession time: I don't lock my phone. No password or key, no swipe pattern, no fingerprint scan. Nothing. It's really stupid and I will probably regret it someday.

If Brand Slogans Were Brutally Honest
Nov 10, 6:36PM
Since advertising is all about the power of suggestion, it's fun to see what happens when the conceits of well-known campaigns are totally undermined. Honest Slogans takes well-known advertising and turns the slogan into some real talk about the product, or at least designer Clif Dickens's take on it.

Bill Gates Unveiled Windows 30 Years Ago Today
Nov 10, 4:38PM
No matter what you think of Windows 8, it's certain that Windows is both iconic and significant in the evolution of personal computing. It's a series of operating systems, of course, but it's also been a concept, a way of thinking, an influencer, and a touchstone for 30 years since Bill Gates introduced it on November 10, 1983.

The Phones Worth Buying This Holiday Season
Nov 10, 4:15PM
The best smartphone for most people this holiday season is the iPhone 5s. The candy-coated 5c is tempting from afar, but the 5s is worth $100 more for a device you'll use dozens of times per day for two years. That small premium gets you a better camera with burst mode and slow motion video, a TouchID sensor that actually works pretty reliably, and a faster, more future-proof processor. The 5c is for people who don't know better, but now you do.

Apartment Hunting in NYC Is So Bad, I'm Considering This $8,000 Bus
Nov 10, 1:59AM
I've been on a grand tour of wacky apartment sublets since moving to NYC this past summer. For a guy who grew up in the Pennsylvania suburbs, it's an eye-opener. Things that would once have seemed completely unreasonable are starting to look promising—like this $8,000 four-bedroom schoolbus. It's got its own toilet. It's got a lot of crumpled bedsheets. It's very dusty.
