It's Almost Impossible For a Wallet To Get Any Thinner Than This
Mar 27, 9:00PM
The pursuit of an absolutely minimal wallet leads some to just wrap an elastic band around their plastic cards and cash. But many of us still need a little more structure than that, and that's what the Flexy delivers, with a form factor that's just barely larger than a single credit card.

Why Are Screens Better Than Real Life?
Mar 27, 7:57PM
I have three children, and left unsupervised, they will stare at screens until their eyeballs liquefy and seep into the carpet. And so, I spend every single day of my existence wringing my hands over how much screen time is too much screen time for these people. Sometimes I set a timer. Sometimes I say, "TIME IS UP" and go to take the screens away, and then my kids freak the fuck out, and I give them back the screens so they can put their stupid Minecraft characters to bed, which always takes two minutes longer than it should. And then I worry that I'm a simp because I gave into their screaming, but man, do I hate hearing them scream. Sometimes, when I'm tired, I just let it go, because it's cold outside, and I've run out of board games to play and tedious craft projects to do. Every parent knows that a screen works flawlessly for subduing annoying kids.

Mar 27, 6:10PM
Long before Samsung's Galaxy Gear entered the picture with its colorful LCD display, Tissot introduced a touchscreen watch to help alleviate button clutter. It was far from what we would now consider 'smart', but it made accessing the T-Touch's various functions a lot easier. And while the latest version still doesn't connect to your smartphone, it's now able to soak up the sun for near-infinite battery life.

We are living in an age of some truly grand challenges. Consider a few.

Sophisticated data breaches in 2013 resulted in over 57 million records exposed. Economic inequality is translating into significant gaps in longevity, increasingly separating those who may see the arrival of the technological singularity from those who will never have the chance.
