Smart targeting rifle destroys a phone one kilometer away
May 20, 12:13AM
According to RatedRR, the "XS1 is the largest-caliber Precision Guided Firearm available today." This video demonstrates how its automatic targeting system works over 1,123 yards. That's 0.6 miles (one kilometer.) This is the kind of stuff we only imagined in science fiction movies only a few years ago.
Watch a massive thunderstorm form in this timelapse
May 19, 11:53PM
Man, this looks like some end of the world type weather. It's the type of thunderstorm I'd see in a movie and think the CGI was too fake. It's the type of supercell I'd see in real life and think it's all over for everybody. It remind us how small we are, how incredible (and scary!) nature can be and how damn cool it is to look up in the sky every now and again.

The Rafale really looks like a fighter from the future in these images
May 19, 11:13PM
These images may or may not correspond to a refueling incident between a KC-135 Stratotanker and a French Air Force's Rafale jet fighter, but I don't really care because they are just an excuse to say that this is perhaps the coolest, most space-invaders-looking jet flying today.
Watch a 100-pound magnetic putty blob come alive like an alien monster
May 19, 10:47PM
I knew magnetic putty is a hungry gross thing that likes to eat stuff, but this doesn't look like magnetic putty at all. This looks like a hungry alien monster blindly looking to suck on some food (a giant magnet.) A 100-pound magnetic putty monster.

Checking out Emoji use on Twitter is nothing new, but new web app Silicon Feelings is the first we've seen to pull the tweets' geolocation data, too. The result is absolutely mesmerizing.
Why don't we all have cancer?
May 19, 10:01PM
Our bodies aren't perfect. Every time a cell reproduces, it makes about 120,000 mistakes in the replication of its DNA, introducing mutations that can lead to uncontrollable division. What we know as cancer. But, if this happens all the time, why don't we all have cancer? Here's the answer.

Every Neuron in a Brain Recorded in 3D on a Millisecond Timescale
May 19, 8:40PM
To learn how the whole brain works, it doesn't do to just record from one neuron—you want to know what every single neuron is doing every millisecond. Now scientists have invented a technique that can actually capture the 3D activity of an entire brain milliseconds at the time—possibly the most complete picture of brain activity we've ever had.
Rio's Olympic Site Looks Even Worse From the Air
May 19, 8:20PM
A few months ago, we published a set of shocking photos from the shores of the heavily polluted Guanabara Bay in Rio de Janeiro—which also happens to be the site chosen for water sports at the Rio 2016 Summer Olympics. Well, the situation is clearly even worse when seen from the air.

These tiny little speedsters are Anki DRIVE, the awesome 21st century take on the classic slot car. They use your iPhone as both a remote control and an artificial intelligence brain, so you can race against human or a computer opponent.

Time Warner Cable's Phone Bot Is a Flat Circle
May 19, 7:20PM
My Time Warner internet went down at home today. This isn't unusual, because it goes down all the time. But it's a problem, given that I work at home. And it's starting to feel personal because my neighbor, Lifehacker Whitson Gordon, has the same shitty internet provider, but his service rarely goes out.
Hey Twitter, Please Don't Ruin SoundCloud
May 19, 6:56PM
Remember Twitter Music ? Probably not. The ill-fated recommendation service started as We Are Hunted, which was a great independent service until Twitter bought it, tanked its music ambitions, and killed it. Now there's a rumor Twitter has its roving eye on SoundCloud. We really hope history isn't about to repeat itself.

May 19, 6:40PM
With the release of Dropcam's Pro webcam last fall, the company set the scene for some interesting wireless accessories with the inclusion of built-in Bluetooth LE.

May 19, 6:24PM
According to leaked documents provided by Edward Snowden, you can't make a phone call in the Bahamas without the NSA listening. The Intercept reports that the agency "is secretly intercepting, recording, and archiving [for one month] the audio of virtually every cell phone conversation on the island nation of the Bahamas." Every. Single. One.
New Guardians of the Galaxy trailer looks even better than the first
May 19, 6:09PM
If the first Guardians of the Galaxy trailer was pretty damn fun, this one looks even better. It's better because it has more of Rocket Racoon and I can't get enough Rocket Racoon. I can't wait to see this space opera. Oh, and Glenn Freaking Amazing Close too.
NASA Asked Kids to Draw Our Future And They Drew WALL-E
May 19, 6:00PM
NASA recently asked kids to draw what the future looks like to them. This being a question from NASA, many of the drawings are, of course, focused on space travel. But beyond the question of space travel, they also provide a look at the hopes and fears of American kids.
Is a Clock With the Hours Stacked Vertically Really Easier to Read?
May 19, 6:00PM
Those of us raised with the English language were taught to read sentences in a straight line. But then when it came time to decipher clocks, we were expected to suddenly be able to read in a circle. It's no wonder we've all switched to digital displays, and why designers Boaz Cohen and Sayaka Yamamoto were inspired to re-think how an analog clock displays the hours.

May 19, 5:45PM
$10 for a tiny, pocketable charger is a great deal, and $15 for a 10,000mAh behemoth is even better. It might be worth grabbing both, since they would each be more useful in different situations. [iEnjoy 2600mAh Charger, $10 / Breett 10,000mAh Charger, $15]

May 19, 5:20PM
Who's spending the most to win the hearts and minds of Congress in the war on net neutrality? Verizon and AT&T, of course. Followed by—guess who?—Comcast. In other words, the companies that stand to lose money if the internet remains free and open are trying to shut it down.
