Three different accidents in 30 seconds in one intersection in Russia
Jul 19, 2:03AM
So if I'm counting right, three different car accidents happen in a matter of seconds because driving in Russia is flirting with death. First, the grey van violently rams itself into the car in front of it. The red car cuts off the dash cam and skids by. And then the original grey van zooms into the intersection and gets smashed sideways by a bus and an SUV.
Flying man flies so close to the cliff that he can high five someone
Jul 19, 12:21AM
Scotty Bob, the crazy guy zipping the air in the wingsuit, is flying so fast you might miss it but he comes so impossibly close to scraping the mountain on some of his turns that he can pretty much high five the photographer taking a picture of him.
UnHung Hero: A Film of, Well, Moderately Small Proportions
Jul 19, 12:00AM
It's man's most-pondered question: Does size matter? While there are social and scientific explanations of the varying size of male genitalia, I feel as though none of them truly answer the question for the individual. They seem rather to quell the ongoing question only temporarily, but without an answer you can take into the bedroom.

Jul 18, 11:20PM
If your average work day feels like an un-choreographed dance of chaos, perhaps this graceful wall clock will bring some peace of mind while you wait for five o'clock to roll around. The Dancing Wall Clock's hands have been replaced with segments of a ballerina, resulting in an endless series of poses and pirouettes while they rotate about its face.
Evolve Your Music Tastes With This Charles Darwin-Themed Opera
Jul 18, 11:00PM

Jul 18, 10:44PM
Remember @CongressEdits, the tweetbot that alerts whenever a Wikipedia article is edited from a government IP address? There's a Russian version now, and it just uncovered some pretty drastic edits to a Wikipedia article that mentions Flight MH17 , originating from a Russian government IP address.

Jul 18, 10:23PM
Drugs are illegal and often pretty bad for you. But who needs LSD when the world has talented designers like Masakazu Shirane and Saya Miyazaki. Last year, the Japanese duo took on the challenge of creating a mind-bending environment inside of a shipping container—and did they ever succeed.

Stanford researchers recently published work on a small microchip they've developed that scans for diabetes in a fraction of the time of current tests. Additionally, their test is reusable for upwards of 15 patients, can be performed on site, and is more accurate in differentiating the biomarkers that distinguish type 1 and type 2 diabetes . In other words, it's a major milestone in diabetes research.

Jul 18, 9:25PM
For most of his life, six-year-old Bertrand Might has bounced from hospital to hospital with an illness no doctor had ever seen. Then came two turning points: first, he finally received a diagnosis, and second—perhaps more surprisingly—his father wrote a blog post that blew up on the internet.
This Classic 1970s Speaker Just Got Revamped With Today's Tech
Jul 18, 9:20PM
If you were alive in the 1970s, there's a good chance you listened to Stig Carlsson's delightfully streamlined OD-11 speakers at some point. The so-called Sonab "Carlsson Cube" offered unprecedented sound quality in an impossibly small cabinet. Now, a Swedish audio company is re-releasing the design with a whole new set of high tech guts inside.
How to Drink an IPA, One Hop Flavor at a Time
Jul 18, 9:00PM
If you're a fan of modern, American IPAs (PBR drinkers: Go stand in the corner) then you are no doubt a friendly familiar of hops, the magical bud that gives beer its bitter bite. But with hundreds up hops varieties and some brews using upwards of a dozen of them , it's hard to know which hop is imparting which flavor unto your beer.
The Cute and Sometimes Creepy Creations of the Willy Wonka of Robots
Jul 18, 8:51PM
Instead of killing kids during private tours of his fantastical factory, Alex Reben is a Willy Wonka-type character of a different sort. He builds robots for a living—seemingly just for fun—and while some of his creations are certainly distressing, they're all fun to watch, interact with, or just ponder. The folks at Cool Hunting had the opportunity to check out Alex's lab, and thankfully, they brought a camera.

He has created some of the most iconic designs on film and video games, touching everything from history to fantasy to science-fiction. Here's a selection of my favorites.
This Robotic Camera Will Make You Feel Like Part of a Ballet Performance
Jul 18, 8:09PM
Watching ballet on TV doesn't provide nearly as satisfying an experience as seeing it performed in person—at least using traditional filming techniques. Director Tarik Abdel-Gawad has taken a radical new approach to capturing footage of a ballet performance, using a motion-control camera on a robot arm that's been choreographed as part of the routine.

Jul 18, 7:34PM
The march of progress moves to the beat of early adopters patting their wallets and chanting, "shut up and take my money." Unfortunately, LG's latest high-end offering can't seem to keep up with its price tag.

Projectors Could Turn Your Tiny Apartment Into a Goggle-Less Oculus Rift
Jul 18, 7:18PM
The Oculus Rift promises to make Star Trek TNG's holodeck a reality, but only in your head. You can't spend every moment of your life with a goofy visor strapped to your face, and that's why this alternate approach to the holodeck—using projectors to make a tiny non-descript room appear massive—seems far more plausible.
What's the Most Ridiculous Smartphone Case You've Ever Seen?
Jul 18, 7:00PM

This Toyota Scientist Is Wrong About Urban Sprawl And Self-Driving Cars
Jul 18, 6:00PM
Ken Laberteaux is a senior principal scientist for Toyota North America, and he's convinced that self-driving cars will increase pollution, exacerbate urban sprawl, and ruin our families. I'm pretty sure there's something in there about killing kittens too, but I may have missed it in his haze of pessimistic, contrarian bullshit.
