Jan 02, 5:40PM
So it's a lazy day and you just wanna Netflix a movie. But what kind of movie? A "visually striking Latin American comedy?" Maybe a "critically-acclaimed emotional underdog movie?"

Jan 02, 4:00PM

Samsung Galaxy Camera 2: The Android Franken-Camera Gets Better Brains
Jan 02, 4:00PM
It's been more than a year since Samsung released its Android powered Galaxy Camera. And despite our initial skepticism, we were actually impressed that the merger of a mobile device and point-and-shoot camera was so well executed.

But it's just well-known scientific principles at work.

A Giant Flaming Billboard Is the Best Way To Advertise a Steak House
Jan 02, 2:20PM
This billboard started life as an image of a large hunk of meat. But it was eventually consumed by flames, revealing a rather clever advertisement for a Russian steakhouse. Because after letting the public scratch their heads for a few days, the image of the uncooked steak was eventually 'grilled' with a series of flaming wires. Those were left to burn, leaving sear marks across its surface along with the name of the restaurant—Double Grill&Bar. Now if only burning paper and glue smelled as delicious as a grilled steak.

Jan 02, 8:57AM
Born around 276 B.C. in Cyrene, Libya, Eratosthenes soon became one of the most famous mathematicians of his time. He is best known for making the first recorded measurement of the Earth's circumference, which was also remarkably accurate. (And, yes, people at that point had known for some time that the world wasn't flat, contrary to popular belief.)
