Alien Turns 35 Today—You Should Watch It Right Now
May 26, 12:00AM
Exactly 35 years ago today, Alien hit the theaters. It's a sad truth that we're supposed to celebrate the spawn of this spine-rattling franchise less than two weeks after the death of H.R. Giger, the surrealist artist who helped develop the film's horrific, biomechanical aesthetic. That said, there's no better way to celebrate the work of a genius than by spending your Sunday night staring at his creations.
Red's 6K Camera Makes Yemen Look Hauntingly Majestic
May 25, 11:00PM
Most of us will never go to Yemen. But Nick Mulvey's new music video, "Meet Me There," will make you want to. Shot by James Morgan with Red's 6K Epic Dragon camera, these three-and-a-half-minutes of dark deserts, savannah sunsets, and sand mountains are just gorgeous. The song's not too bad, either!
Learn How They Laid the Transatlantic Cable Back in 1959
May 25, 10:00PM
In this hyper-modern, satellite-powered wireless age, it's easy to forget how not too long ago our main connection to Europe was a single cable: the TAT-1. This, the first submarine transatlantic telephone cable was finally completed in 1956, just in time for operators to realize they needed a second. Guess what they named that one.
Watch a Bunch of Adorable Kids React to an Old Apple Computer
May 25, 8:20PM
It's hard to know which specific emotion this video of kids reacting to old computers from the late 1970s and early 1980s evokes. The feeling is somewhere between sheer delight (how cute are they?!) and utter horror (how old am I?!) Either way, it's worth it.

May 25, 8:00PM

Sorry, You Won't Be Editing Your Google Results in the US Any Time Soon
May 25, 7:00PM
A couple weeks ago, the internet lit up with the news of the European Court of Justice ruling that would require Google to delete irrelevant or outdated information from their search results. "Finally!" you might've thought. "I can get those frat party pics out of my results!" But, as a new Associated Press story makes clear, that's just not the case.
This Abandoned Wasteland Was Once America's Largest Mall
May 25, 4:55PM
The life and death of the American mall is a familiar story by now . A few decades ago, these shrines to consumerism dotted suburbia, only to be denied relevance by a push back towards city centers. But few images express the scale of this trend as much as those in Black Friday: The Collapse of the American Mall.

How a Doctor Is Fighting Cancer With Items Found at Walmart
May 25, 3:00PM
The New York Times Magazine offers up a healthy dose of inspiration this weekend with the story of David Walmer, a renegade doctor who's been saving lives in Haiti. When he realized a few years ago how cervical cancer was killing many of his patients, Walmer decided to get creative about solving the problem. Oddly enough, Walmart was part of the solution.
This Smog-Gobbling Façade Looks Like It Was Built by Spiderman
May 25, 2:00PM
The architectural marvels set to be unveiled at Expo Milan 2015 have already wowed our socks off . But the latest design from Nemesi & Partners takes things to the next level with a sprawling smog-filtering façade. It sort of looks like Spiderman's secret cocoon.
The US Is Already Turning Back Chinese Hacker-Types at the Border
May 25, 1:00PM

May 24, 11:30PM

An Augmented Reality Made With Hand-Drawn Cartoons and an iPhone
May 24, 10:05PM
Prolific doodler Marty Cooper carries around animation cels, a marker, and some Wite-Out as he wanders the city, creating whimsical scenes that turn mundane background imagery into charming mini-stories.

What Would Change If Politicians Wrote Laws Based on Internet Polls?
May 24, 9:00PM
A new political party, designed by software devs and engineers, is joining the race in California. If elected, PlaceAVote's Congressional candidates vow to decide on every bill based on the majority vote of their constituents—as measured via online polling. Could that sort of direct, digital democracy improve how Congress works? Would it make government more dysfunctional? (Is the latter even possible?)
1914 Coney Island Diorama Is World's Largest Desktop-Printed Sculpture
May 24, 8:00PM
Luna Park opened in Brooklyn in 1903, during the heyday of Coney Island attractions. This weekend, artist Fred Kahl pays tribute to the park's history with a 3D-printed model depicting it as it appeared 100 years ago. It's being billed as the largest art installation ever created on a desktop 3D printer, and building it involved some fascinating, custom-made technology.
Meet the Man Who Makes WWE's Official Championship Belts in His Garage
May 24, 7:00PM
In pro wrestling, the moves may be fake choreographed, but the glittering gold-and-leather championship belts are very real. And while most of what happens at the WWE comes out of an enormously wealthy corporate powerhouse, CNN Money shows us the humble origins of those testosterone-cherished waist trophies: Dave Millican's house in Tony, Alabama.
Pot-Smoking Hackers, Amazon's Dirty Tricks, Surface Pro 3, and More
May 24, 6:00PM
This week sure gave us a lot to talk about over the long weekend. From a giant sinkhole that opened up mere blocks from our NYC office to the weird way that colorized photos are changing how we view history, here's the best of what we wrote about this week.
Lab Mice Got Really Unhealthy When They Only Ate Powdered Food
May 24, 5:00PM
With Soylent to eat (or I guess drink) and Palcohol to drink (or maybe eat), it seems the kitchen of the future will just be a blender. But don't haul your stove to the curb just yet: an admittedly small study says that mice who ate nothing but powdered nutrient ended up more sickly than their friends who had to chew.
How to Become an Astronaut
May 24, 4:00PM
So you want NASA to fly you to the moon and let you play among the stars. Maybe let you see what spring is like on a-Jupiter and Mars? Well, you're going to need more than a solid Sinatra impression to get NASA to accept you into its spacefaring ranks—a whole lot more.
Those looking to command a spacecraft must meet the following requirements:
Your "Gluten Intolerance" May Actually Be From Something Else in Wheat
May 24, 2:00PM
Oh gluten, the least trendy protein of our time. As gluten-free has transcended science and exploded into diet fad, scientists increasingly suspect that gluten intolerance—apart from actual celiac disease—doesn't exist at all. The true culprit could be a group of carbohydrates, including one in wheat called fructan.

Watch this guy jump over an entire island while kitesurfing
May 24, 3:22AM
I'm fairly certain that the idea of jumping over an island has never crossed my mind in all my years of thinking. But if you're a champion kitesurfer like Youri Zoon and you stumble across a small enough island, well, that's just another day on the beach for you. Jumping the damn thing and nailing it is just how you live. Watch Zoon catch the perfect gust of wind and fly over an entire 120-foot island near New Caledonia. Sick.
