Watching Gordon Ramsay Be an Arrogant Prick Is Delightful
Jun 23, 1:00AM
Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares would easily beat The Wolf Of Wall Street in a number-of-cusses-every-60-seconds contest. You get a generous serving of "bollocks", a side of "arse", and a dash of genitalia-related terms through the course of the show. This is an old gem that I discovered on Netflix last week and I've been pretty hooked since.
Jesper Kyd: Earth
Jun 23, 12:00AM
Someone has to say it: Assassin's Creed II, like its predecessor, was an average game. Once you got over the lush visuals, the missions became a chore, the running around became tedious, and the actual assassinations became routine when you realized that you didn't actually need to be stealthy to carry them out — you could hack and slash your way through guards and still emerge victorious.

Jun 22, 9:00PM
Here's how weather forecasts in the United States work: The National Weather Service attaches devices that measure pressure, temperature and humidity to weather balloons that are launched, twice a day, from 69 locations in the US. This is the way it has been since, well, the 1930s.
Why Twitter GIFs Aren't Actually GIFs
Jun 22, 8:05PM

Jun 22, 5:52PM

Are You Using Facebook's Slingshot?
Jun 22, 5:05PM
Slingshot is Facebook's second attempt at trying to jump onto the ephemeral messaging bandwagon. It's basically a mashup of the disastrous Poke and Snapchat but with a twist - to unlock a message you've received, you need to send one back.

Famous characters look more badass with cool beards on them
Jun 22, 5:53AM
Vanja Mrgan has imagined what different famous characters would look like with beards. From Robocop to He-Man to Batman to Wario to Popeye to Porky Pig to Boba Fett to Snoo—Reddit's alien mascot—they all look quite cool. Some even better than the real thing (like Popeye, Wario, and even Batman!)

ISS Astronauts Make the Best Vines, Everyone Else Just Give Up
Jun 22, 12:30AM
Astronaut Reid Wiseman tweeted this Vine a few days ago from the International Space Station. It's so beautiful, it makes me want to delete my Vine app. Because I know I'll never even come close to this beauty.
Mayer Hawthorne: Maybe So, Maybe No
Jun 22, 12:00AM
Today's the first day of summer, and the longest day of the year, and a Saturday. The perfect combination of elements for spending the day roaming around, casual and aimless. No pressure, no rush. To me, this is the soundtrack for that kind of day.
The Making of Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey
Jun 21, 11:00PM
What's most notable about Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey is that the epic science fiction adventure was made using old-school practical special effects, well before computer graphics became a staple of the film industry. So when someone like Taschen releases a four-volume book set detailing the film's production, you just know it will be chock full of wonderful behind-the-scenes images—not just screenshots of 3D software.

Jun 21, 10:32PM
Pocketnow says Apple's forthcoming iWatch will come in two styles: "Sports," rectangular with a rubber strap, and "Designer," round and stainless steel. Pocketnow says both models are "hard to distinguish" from a regular watch—which seems unlikely with a 2.5 inch face we reported last week. [Pocketnow]
Slow-Motion Bullfrogs Look Super Dramatic
Jun 21, 10:06PM
During a downpour in the forests near Robert Frost Farm, photographer Michael N. Sutton took some footage of bullfrogs in a pond. At normal speeds, they'd probably look no different than any other frogs. But filmed in HD at 1,000 frames per second, they suddenly become regal, stately. And oh so dramatic.

Jun 21, 9:05PM
If you were a kid in the 90s, you probably remember two things: Super Mario, and that song about big butts. Well, here they are, together at last. It was a mashup two decades in the making. [Digg]
Here's Why You Should Be Excited About The James Webb Space Telescope
Jun 21, 9:00PM
Peter Cullen, voice of Optimus Prime, recently lent his legendary voice to a slick animated introduction to the successor of the ridiculously prolific Hubble Telescope, NASA's James Webb Space Telescope. But Cullen's velvety voice is far from the only reason to be excited about JWST.

Android Police just published renders and specs on a rumored 9-inch HTC Nexus tablet. With an 8.9-inch, 2048x1440 display, Tegra K1 processor, and zero-gap aluminum body, Android Police's intel says the device, named Volantis, will launch later this year at $400 for 16GB. Though it might not look exactly like the render above. [Android Police]
The 1983 Punk Rock Record With a Digital Music Video For a B-Side
Jun 21, 8:01PM
The B-side of Chris Sievey's 1983 single "Camouflage" sounds like an unlistenable malestrom of noise. It's not an avant-garde song; it's a program for the ZX-81 computer, and if you could load it correctly, it gave you a (very rudimentary) computer-animated music video, coded in the grooves of a vinyl record.

Jun 21, 5:46PM
iPhone rumor time comes as predictably as moose mating season, and like pheromone-crazy moose, leak-hungry tech bloggers will mount just about anything that looks like it could possibly be iPhone related. Here's the latest: a purported 5.5-inch (14cm) display, published by 9to5Mac earlier today.
