What the biggest companies are from each state in the US
Jun 24, 1:23AM
The most popular brands in America are not always the largest companies making the most revenue. Brands that you know, stores that you go to and places that you associate with some states get replaced by faceless monoliths who basically repurpose oil, energy, technology, other people's money, etc. into more money.
The Earth looks flat in this photo taken from space
Jun 24, 1:10AM
Believe it or not, some idiots think that Earth doesn't rotate and others still think that Earth is flat.

The angles on those two coasts converging make Earth's spheroidal surface look strangely flat.

Which actor would be the best—or the worst—Batman?
Jun 23, 11:50PM
Here's an enjoyable animation bit from ADHD: they hilariously imagine different famous actors as Batman. All the impressions are great.

3D-Weaving Turns a Single Thread Into Shoe Soles and Stab-Proof Vests
Jun 23, 11:30PM
At first glance it looks like these shoes are shod with two strategically shaped Top Ramen bricks. Delicious, perhaps, but c'mon—too crunchy for underfoot! The flexible soles were actually made with a 3D weaving machine designed by a graduate at London's Royal College of Art, by layering a single, continuous thread in complementary patterns, one on top of the other.
The Antidote to a Lifetime of Overplaying Semi-Charmed Life
Jun 23, 11:10PM
Semi-Charmed Life, Third Eye Blind's meth-addled anthem of the 90s, came out 17 years ago last week. And for me, that has meant 17 years of playing the song to death—over, and over, and over again. Thankfully, North Carolina-based singer/songwriter Jackson Scott (the patriotic off-brand-Nerf-enthusiast you see above) has the cure to what ails me and (most likely) far too many of you.

Take a Wingtip Ride Aboard Russia's Baddest Supersonic Jet
Jun 23, 9:40PM
When foreign military aircraft stray too close to a nation's borders, they're often swiftly met by the local air force's fleet of interceptor aircraft—fast-moving dogfighters built to meet, greet, and then blow invading planes out of the sky. While the US relies on the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet and F-22 Raptor to defend its airspace, the Russian's field the equally-capable MiG-31.

Halt and Catch Fire Episode Four: Donna Is Here to Solve Everything
Jun 23, 8:40PM
Halt and Catch Fire has so far failed at delivering us the TV drama about the rise of the personal computer that we deserve. In episode four last night, we see a small glimmer of hope, as the one character who might be Cardiff Electric's saving grace has also become the show's lone redeeming quality. How meta!

Slingshot's Designers Say You're Using It Wrong
Jun 23, 8:00PM
Facebook's new app, Slingshot, is confusing. The premise behind it is that you can send images to your friends—but they won't be able to see your image until they send one back to you. As a messaging service, it's flawed. But, according to the app's designers, it's not a messaging service. It's something entirely different.

Jun 23, 7:40PM
Grade school is an opportunity for budding artists to finally shed their cumbersome crayons and try their hand at making a masterpiece using the subtle shades of a box of colored pencils. But artist Tuomas Markun Poika must've missed that class, since he instead uses pencils to create wooden vases with unique patterns made possible by the process with which they're made.

Thrown together by as-yet untested Chinese developers Pangu, the untethered jailbreak is Windows only, but works for all devices that can run 7.1.1.

The ISS Is Getting an X-Ray Machine That Works in Space
Jun 23, 6:40PM
Human bodies are of course not built for microgravity. We've long known that astronauts lose bone mass, but studying the process in space is tricky.

Jun 23, 6:24PM
Open any issue of The New York Times , and you're all but guaranteed to hit a passing reference to the mecca of all things gentrified and hip: Brooklyn, New York.
