Why Fake Apple Chargers Totally Suck
May 13, 11:00PM
So your iPad charger goes kaput, and you aren't so keen on giving a pretty penny to Apple (yet) again. It can't be that bad to buy a cheapo one online right? It even looks exactly like real Apple charger! But then it heats up like a burning coal and stops working after a couple weeks—because it's a real piece of crap inside.

May 13, 10:35PM
Given how much money the average American spends on coffee, why wouldn't you want the best drinking experience possible? Even if it's from a disposable cup?

It's hard to top the holy shit news that Antarctica is, as we've long feared, irreversibly melting,
May 13, 10:00PM
It's hard to top the holy shit news that Antarctica is, as we've long feared, irreversibly melting , but this week's Landscape Reads is chock full of other great stories. Could the difference between rice and wheat farming also explain cultural differences? (By the way, those are rice terraces above!) What's a 19th-century map doing in Minecraft? Is China's coal addiction going to fuck us all?
When Apple Damns Your Texts to iMessage Purgatory
May 13, 10:00PM
I recently switched from an iPhone to Android, and discovered shortly thereafter that my phone number was still associated with iMessage, meaning that any time someone with an iPhone tried texting me, I'd receive nothing, and they'd get a "Delivered" receipt in their Messages app as though everything were working as expected.
This Keyboard for Google Glass Is Stupid or Clever or Both—I Can't Tell
May 13, 9:35PM
Minuum , the weird keyboard with a weirder name, has announced it is coming to Google Glass. Get ready to type with your glasses. This concept video shows how that might work. From eye-control (neat!) to finger control (dumb!) to arm control (clever?).
Everyone's the Grillmaster At this BBQ Picnic Table
May 13, 9:00PM
There's a certain pride that comes with donning the apron and tongs to handle grilling duties at a barbecue. Making sure everyone's steak is cooked exactly how they like is a lot of responsibility, though, which is why the JAG Grill table—that lets every dinner guest grill their own meat—is such a wonderful idea.

2001 Inspired This Table Supported By Toppling Monolith Dominos
May 13, 8:20PM
How's your furniture budget for 2014 looking? Obscenely well-funded? If that's the case, you might want to seriously consider this eye-catching Megalith Table. Inspired by Arthur C. Clarke's iconic science fiction series, the table's glass top appears to be supported by a series of domino-like monoliths frozen in a perpetual topple.

May 13, 8:00PM

15 Years of Virgin Galactic's Failed Space Age Promises
May 13, 8:00PM
Back in 2012, I saw a sign outside of a travel agency in Western Australia that filled my cold, black heart with glee. It was an ad for Virgin Galactic, with the implied promise that if I stepped inside that door, I could buy a flight to space from an "accredited space agent."
Why Mysterious UFO-Like Lights Glow in this Norwegian Valley
May 13, 7:40PM
As a name, Hessdalen may be more familiar to UFO watchers than scientists. The valley in Norway is prone to "strange, hovering, flashing balls of lights" best attributed, as some believe, to alien origins. Now scientists say they're on the verge of an explanation: The valley is a giant natural battery.

This Bluetooth Buckle Adds Smart Functionality To Mechanical Watches
May 13, 7:20PM
Ask any serious watch aficionado why they're hesitant to switch to a smartwatch, and their reasons will have nothing to do with functionality—but everything to do with how ugly the current crop of smartwatches are. The Modillian, a replacement strap buckle that adds Bluetooth, hopes to fix that by adding basic smartwatch capabilities to more stylish timepieces.
Please Stop Calling Everything a "Hack"
May 13, 7:00PM
We have a problem. Be you blogger, journalist, tech writer, or commenter (both racist and otherwise), it's time to stop with the gratuitous overuse of "hacking." Existence itself is not a hack.
The Most Common Languages Spoken in the U.S. After English and Spanish
May 13, 6:40PM
What's the language that the most Americans speak after English? As you'd probably guess, the second-most common language spoken in the U.S. is Spanish. But if you look at the most common languages after English and Spanish, the results get a little more surprising, especially when you parse them by state.
Player-Tracking Technology Is Coming To Hockey. It'll Change Everything.
May 13, 6:27PM
Nothing happens quickly in the NHL. Fighting still exists. Visors were only mandated for incoming players last year. But the league is reportedly preparing to test player-tracking technology, and if it takes, we're not far away from a complete and sudden revolution in how we understand the sport.

May 13, 6:20PM

Watch these aircraft avoiding a catastrophe at the very last second
May 13, 6:11PM
I knew that all the airplanes and helicopters in this compilation of fatal accidents avoided at the last second weren't going to crash. I knew nobody got injured or died. I knew all these things and yet I was curling my toes and found of myself saying "ffffffuuuuu" with every one of them.
Microsoft Just Won't Stop Making the Xbox One Worse
May 13, 6:10PM
The Xbox One is a fine machine—great even—but it's nothing compared to what it was supposed to be. Reluctant backtrack after reluctant backtrack has left us a box that does a shadow of what it might have done. And with a new Kinect-free Xbox One bundle , Microsoft is fully burying those dreams and all but spitting on the grave.

May 13, 6:10PM
The population of earth has been decimated...except for one person. That was the theme of this week's Shooting Challenge, and the photos that you created in response are strange, funny, and most often, haunting.

All The Most Important Batmobiles In One Handy Chart
May 13, 5:20PM
More than any other superhero, Batman is known for his car. In fact, he's one of the few major superheroes to even have a car worth a damn, anyway. I think I once saw Superman parking a Geo Prizm. That's why the Batmobile is so important, and why there've been so many of the things.

May 13, 5:20PM
At the end of its last financial quarter, Apple had $151 billion in cash just sitting there collecting dust. Is it any wonder it's going after profitable companies like Beats? What's $3.2 billion ? Here's a humorous look at just how many companies Apple could buy with its stack-o-cash—and just how easily a corporate shopping spree could go wrong.
