Calvin Harris: Summer
Jun 11, 11:00PM
Not to be totally cliche, but I've been listening to Calvin Harris's song, Summer, pretty much for all of this summer that isn't even technically here yet. Hey, the track sounds like it should be listened to by a pool or on a rooftop or somewhere as long as the sun is shining and the air is north of 70 degrees.

Jun 11, 10:05PM
A British company called Titan just unveiled a new TV, and it's ridiculous. At 370-inches, it's the largest television in the world, and at $1.7 million, it's also got to be the most expensive. But who could say no to 4K resolution on a screen that's the size of a house?

Boston's New "Smart Mass Transit" Gets You To Work Faster—For A Price
Jun 11, 9:20PM
It's time to go to work. But instead of walking a half-mile to the nearest bus stop and waiting in the searing morning sun, you tap in your location to an app and keep sipping your coffee at your kitchen table. The bus stops mere blocks from your house and delivers you to work in record time.
Kill Time By Creating Art With an Hourglass Full of Magnetic Sand
Jun 11, 9:00PM
The steady methodical flow of sand through an hourglass as it succumbs to the pull of gravity is a great way to kill time—but not a very productive one. This clever alternative hopes to change that, at least if you consider creating art a valuable use of one's time. It swaps boring old sand for fine magnetic filings the produce unique patterns and structures as they stack up on a magnet in the base.

Time was, humans didn't have to worry much about getting exercise. When we had to kill, gather, grow, or herd our own food, working out happened naturally. Of course, as soon as we figured out how to avoid those laborious chores, we did. Not long after, we had to come up with new ways of staying in shape; hence, exercise.

This surprising video shows a bumblebee struggling, trapped on a spider web as the spider approaches to finish the job. All of the sudden, out of nowhere, a second bumblebee appears in the frame, stinging the spider. Deliberate rescue attempt, coincidence, or a viral video for A Bug's Life 2?
Beautiful Illusions: The Economics of UberX
Jun 11, 8:40PM
Last month, Uber boasted that its drivers command a median salary of $90,000 per year. This is not totally honest. Justin Singer wades into the financial morass, and says the truth about how much Uber drivers make is very far from simple.

These Gigantic Architectural Models Are Bigger Than My Apartment
Jun 11, 7:40PM
The Getty Center in Los Angeles sprawls over 110 acres of the Santa Monica Mountains. That's a whole lotta square footage. The super detailed scale model made by architect and living legend Richard Meier extends over 21 by 14 feet. That's also… pretty freaking huge.

Jun 11, 7:31PM
Following massive rainfalls in Misiones, Argentina, and Santa Catarina and Paraná, Brazil, the famous Iguazú Falls are now overflowing, carrying 46,300 cubic meters per second—33 times the usual water flow rate. The images and video are unbelievable. I hope you have your arks ready, my friends.
Why Was the Computer Never Patented?
Jun 11, 7:19PM
Given all the rampant gadget patenting that goes on in the computer industry, it's peculiar that computers themselves never got patented. But it wasn't for lack of trying. Here's the twisted tale of one of the longest patent battles in recent history.
Best Buy Will Deliver a Dryer for Free But the Power Cord Has a $70 Fee
Jun 11, 7:10PM
What with Amazon and Google Shopping Express winning the world's laziest misanthropes' affections, other companies are left doing everything they can to stay in the fight. In Best Buy's case, that means offering free shipping on major appliances—and (apparently) praying that folks don't realize the $30 required cord ships for more than double that.

Jun 11, 7:00PM
In yet another crushing blow to Comic Sans, pen-maker Bic is currently soliciting handwriting samples from anyone on Earth who wants to participate in its Universal Typeface Experiment. The goal is to create a universal font that will presumably supplant Comic Sans as the go-to typeface for amateur designers making birthday cards, lunch room signage, or business cards for toddlers.

Jun 11, 6:40PM
"Sir," the bellhop says as you waltz up to the check-in counter, "we've upgraded you to out finest suite—no, not the honeymoon suite, even better. The robot gut suite." This scenario could soon become a reality at London's Beaumont Hotel, which recently installed a giant inhabitable statue on its facade. Unfortunately, it sounds like a pretty terrible space.

Jun 11, 6:20PM
There's no point in sugar coating it, even the most advanced autonomous walking robots straight-up suck compared to humans and animals.

The FCC Is Trying to Do Something Good For Once(?!)
Jun 11, 6:03PM
In a blog post, FCC chairman Tom Wheeler recently promised the American people that his agency will intervene if more states pass laws that limit community broadband networks. It's a nice promise. But remember: It's just a promise.
