Why Vampires Are Sooo Six Seasons Ago
Jul 02, 12:00AM
True Blood's long awaited final season has arrived. Two episodes in and I'm very underwhelmed. I stuck with it through the witches, werewolves, and other supernatural beings, but for some reason, I'm relatively unexcited for its impending vampire apocalypse. However, I'm going to watch each episode regardless—for the blood and the boobs. As should you.
Meet the guy who smells things for a living for NASA
Jul 01, 11:56PM
George Aldrich has been working with NASA for nearly 40 years doing one job: he smells things that are about to go to space. Seriously. Aldrich uses his nose to its full potential, sniffing everything around him to give NASA a report on what is allowed to go to space and what is not.
La Femme: Sur La Planche
Jul 01, 11:00PM
La Femme's 2010 self-titled EP is a short and hypnotic album that's a pleasure to listen to, even if you don't understand a word of French. I had the opening track, "Sur la planche" on constant repeat when the album was first released. But then something changed.
Pizza Shop: We're Being Extorted For Bitcoin. What's a Bitcoin?
Jul 01, 10:40PM
Bitcoin, the preferred currency of hackers, fraudsters, and e-based ruffians everywhere, is now being extorted right in your own backyard—from your local pizza joint, specifically. Now the owners just need to figure out what a bitcoin actually is.
These Printed Circuits Could Connect Any Object For Just a Few Cents
Jul 01, 10:30PM
When we think about the connected world, we think about hardware—from Twine to Nest—that connects our household appliances to the web for a pretty penny. But according to Quartz, one firm is pioneering an alternative that's cheap, easy to make, and embeddable in nearly any product.
You Can Customize This Desk's Modular Cages In Countless Ways
Jul 01, 9:40PM
If something I own is not in my direct line of sight, it's likely that I won't remember it exists; this is a common excuse I use for why my apartment is never particularly tidy ("I need to see everything, all at once!"). This also might be why I love the look of this Grid System by Ying Chang, where what you pile in is visible through the geometric cage mass.
Spectacular images of the world's first pyrotechnic air acrobatic team
Jul 01, 9:27PM
The Twister Aerobatics Team is not your usual air acrobatics number. Instead of using just smoke canisters, these guys use actual pyrotechnics rockets to give beautiful shows at dusk. Truly spectacular.
You Can Measure, Mix, Knead, and Bake Bread In this One Silicone Bowl
Jul 01, 9:00PM
The best way to think of Lékué's flexible silicone bowl is as a bread machine that won't waste valuable kitchen counter space when not in use. Because it's soft and flexible it can be easily stored in a cupboard or even a drawer, and because it's all silicone it can go straight from the counter to the oven without messing any additional mixing bowls or pans.
Here's One Early Proposal For Obama's Presidential Library In Chicago
Jul 01, 8:40PM
Obama's nearing the end of his second term, which means talk is turning towards where he'll be setting up camp post-presidency. The location of his presidential library is being hotly contested, with Chicago, New York City, and Honolulu all vying for the prize. Here's one proposal for locating it in Bronzeville, Chicago's first African-American neighborhood.
Why Countdown Clocks for Pedestrians Actually Cause More Car Crashes
Jul 01, 8:21PM
As a frequent traveler by foot, I love countdowns at crosswalks. They tell me whether I should wait out 2 seconds or leisurely walk across in 15. And indeed, these countdowns do make pedestrians safer. But it turns out that countdowns actually cause more crashes between cars. Here's why.

Jul 01, 8:11PM
Google just announced that it's buying Songza, no doubt in a bid to beef up its music streaming offerings. For the time being, there are no plans to change Songza and no word on the price of the deal, but you can bet that its functionality will be popping up in a Google service sometime soon.
PlayStation Vita Review Update: Two And A Half Years Later
Jul 01, 8:07PM
The PlayStation Vita has come a long way in the last two and a half years. Sony's handheld console has navigated a winding and sometimes uncertain route, often deviating from whatever we thought its original course would be. And yet somehow, these many months later, it has landed in a pretty good place.

Cassini entered Saturn's orbit on July 1st, 2004. And ever since, this NASA-ESA-ASI collaboration has delivered stunning images of the crown jewel of our solar system. The following 50 images were chosen from thousands of similarly great photographs from a full decade of exploring the sixth planet and its iconic ring system and moons.

The World's Greatest Water Gun Has 6 Spinning, Soaking Barrels
Jul 01, 7:40PM
Step aside, Super Soaker. The one-time king of summer fun has officially been usurped by this custom creation from the folks behind Sugru. It looks like something Schwarzenegger used in an action film, but it's instead designed for mowing down people with a harmless soaking.
Five Ways To Sleep Outside Without A Tent
Jul 01, 7:21PM
Tents are wonderfully effective, but also large, heavy and fragile. Can you really go camping without one? Turns out, you really don't have to sacrifice that much.
Audi Turned 28 Cars Into a Giant World Cup Scoreboard For Manhattan
Jul 01, 7:20PM
In what could turn out to be yet another vain attempt to get most Americans to like—or even mildly appreciate—soccer, Audi created a giant World Cup scoreboard made from something the country definitely loves: Cars.
7 Humanoid Toy Robots from the Original Space Age
Jul 01, 7:05PM
Last week, we learned the rules for the final round of DARPA's Robotics Challenge. It was immediately apparent that we're teetering on the precipice of a futuristic future, where robots can walk around on two legs doing work without human aid. The reality is not unlike the Space Age fantasies from 50 years ago.
Why Crickets Make Such Excellent Thermometers
Jul 01, 7:00PM
Unlike renegade mammals that live fast and play by their own thermal rules, cold-blooded reptiles and insects march to the beat of a more universal drum—ambient air temperature. You can see it in the speed at which ants walk and fireflies flash, or hear it in the cadence of a cricket's love song. Their melodies are so precise, in fact, that you can even measure the temperature outside by how fast they chirp.

Jul 01, 7:00PM

I Explored Second Life's Forgotten Worlds With an Oculus Rift
Jul 01, 6:20PM
Don't call it a comeback. Second Life has been here for years—eleven, this month—but after the virtual world's much-vaunted debut, the online universe slowly slipped out of the cultural consciousness, now infrequently referenced more as a punchline than legitimate popular hangout. Unless you, like I did last week, have an Oculus Rift handy.
Inside the Secret Building That's Bringing Cell Service To NYC's Subway
Jul 01, 6:00PM
As Hurricane Sandy revealed almost two years ago, New York's 100-year-old subway is not a modern and robust system. In fact, compared to other cities, it's downright dirty, unpredictable and technologically behind. But the Metro Transit Authority is currently dragging it into the future—and I got the chance to go behind the scenes of the MTA's mission.

Jul 01, 5:50PM
