American Airlines Flight 24 from JFK to SFO landed in Kansas City this weekend after a suspicious package found in the lavatory instigated a bomb scare.

Sharp's New Quattron Plus TV Isn't 4K, But It Can Fake It
Jan 06, 5:26PM
4K is great, but it's also expensive. Getting cheaper, but still a pretty penny. Sharp's new Aquos Quattron Plus is another option: a super high resolution HD TV that's not quite 4K, but that can play 4K content. It's a Faux-K TV.

Jan 06, 5:01PM
Zippy 4G data speeds have made gobbling down data a cinch, but they've made bumping up against your mobile plan's data caps even easier. AT&T might have found a way to provide some relief—by letting the companies whose sites you're visiting foot the bill.

Jan 06, 5:00PM
America loves tattoos. From tribal designs to tramp stamps, this country can't get enough ink.

Until 1891, an Ancient Sycamore Tree Grew in L.A.'s Industrial Core
Jan 06, 4:30PM
It was a reassuring symbol of stability amid the upheavals of colonial expansion and transformation of the land: an ancient, sprawling sycamore tree known as El Aliso. Growing in what is today the heart of downtown Los Angeles, the tree cut an imposing figure. It measured 60 feet tall and 22 feet around the trunk. Its canopy spread nearly 200 feet from tip to tip. Each year, the tree repeated its cycles—casting off leaves, resprouting them, dropping seeds, and stretching out ever so slightly—even as the surrounding landscape morphed from fertile flood plain into gritty city center.

Jan 06, 4:30PM
Running headphones are for the most part a hideous, utilitarian lot. They stay put when you're running and don't short out when you work up a sweat. They probably live in your gym bag. Sol Republic's new Relays are headphones designed with the simple goal of making a single bud that works for everything and only costs $80.

LG's Fitness Tracker: Looks Like a Fitbit, Works Like a Smartwatch
Jan 06, 4:19PM
We saw a half-baked version of LG's Lifeband Touch last year at CES, but couldn't actually play with it, and we never actually saw the fully torqued tracker come to fruition. This year the fitness tracker is back, and it is surely trying to be a whole lot of things all at once.

Jan 06, 4:15PM
You can get your House of Cards fix on LG TVs in 4K soon, LG and Netflix CEO Reed Hastings announced at a CES press conference this morning. Not sure how fast that will eat up your data cap, but since the show was filmed in 4K, it might as well stream in 4K.

Jan 06, 3:40PM
In September 1990, a group of scientists put a drill head to the ground in southern Germany, where two landmasses once merged to form the supercontinent Pangaea 300 million years ago. Their goal? To drill the deepest hole ever made into the earth, a "telescope" into its core.

This Surprisingly Strong Bentwood Chair Looks Like It Would Snap In Two
Jan 06, 3:00PM
Tadao Ando is like the concrete-whisperer: the Japanese architect has an unmatched talent for manipulating the everyday material to do pretty magical things. Dream Chair is one of his latest projects—a collaboration with Danish manufacturer Carl Hansen & Son—that switches up his usual scale and medium. The result is a seat that seems too precarious to be true, thanks to some seriously clever engineering.

Jan 06, 2:40PM
When residents of Howard County, Maryland, flush their toilets, their sewage will soon end up at the NSA's new computer center several miles away.

Canon PowerShot N100 Has Two Cameras So You Can Take Frontback Photos
Jan 06, 2:00PM
Last year's Canon PowerShot N was a weird little point-and-shoot camera with an odd design aimed at roping in the masses who have ditched tiny cameras for smartphones. It was neat, but not all the way there. With the new PowerShot N100, Canon has redesigned the camera so that it can do even more smartphone-like things.

Why the World Needs OpenStreetMap
Jan 06, 1:45PM
Every time I tell someone about OpenStreetMap, they inevitably ask "Why not use Google Maps?". From a practical standpoint, it's a reasonable question, but ultimately this is not just a matter of practicality, but of what kind of society we want to live in. I discussed this topic in a 2008 talk on OpenStreetMap I gave at the first MappingDC meeting. Here are many of same concepts, but expanded.
