The Throwable, Panoramic Ball Cam Is Finally Here—and It's Incredible
Nov 12, 12:00PM
When we first got wind of a throwable, 36-lens compound camera that automatically snaps 360-degree panoramas at the height of its toss, we were already impressed—and that was jus the prototype (seen above on the right). Now, the officially named Panono camera is nearly half its former size, just as powerful, and finally ready to be caught by consumer hands. And after playing around with the ball for a bit, we can officially say that, yes, it is every bit as awesome as it seems.

The hilarious side jobs of superheroes are just perfect
Nov 12, 4:21AM
Being a superhero is a tough gig. You have to deal with evil to the bone bad guys, an unconvincing public who thinks you're a weirdo vigilante in costume, people's unrealistic expectations of you to save the world and probably a really tough dating life. But what is a superhero to do if not be a super hero? Well, illustrator Chow Hon Lam imagined other jobs for superheroes and this what he hilariously came up with.

Nov 12, 3:35AM
It's not the visuals. Awesome astronaut Chris Hadfield told Conan that Alfonso Cuaron's Gravity perfectly captured the spectacular beauty of space. This is a man who actually spacewalked, people!

It really doesn't get more perfect than that.

Nov 12, 1:16AM
Let's hope none of us ever have to be put in a situation where we have to evacuate an airplane but this 2006 evacuation test of an Airbus A380 makes our current plane deplaning process look like a complete waste of time. The test incredibly emptied out all 873 passengers of the plane in less than 80 seconds. Typical planes in real life take around 10 minutes. Something is not adding up!

The Civil Wars: 20 Years
Nov 12, 12:00AM
CGI may be the wave of the future, capable of crossing the uncanny valley and generating photo-real imagery, but it's a cold visual medium. For as closely as digital drawing tablets dutifully replicate the action of drawing, it cannot match the effect of physically crafting—it's an inherent technological disconnect between the artist and the art, like asking Michelangelo to re-carve David using a DaVinci-bot.
