Every year it's the same rumour: "the new iPhone will have a 16:9 display." It even circulated before the first iPhone came out, and happened with the iPad too. This year isn't different. But does it make sense? Would the next iPhone really have a 16:9 screen? Read More >

Look at this joke of an image. It's so stupidly absurd that either the Chinese government photoshoppers didn't really give a f*ck about it, or they are the most incompetent Photoshop operators on the planet. Read More >
I refuse to believe this image of the eclipse is real, as much as I wish it is. Not that it couldn't be real. It can. I've seen plenty of photos of eclipses taken from space, but this one is just too awesome to be real. Read More >
Best Buy has put the MacBook Pro on sale: $100 off every model. If that's not the clearest sign that the next generation MacBook Pro 2012 is around the corner—probably for WWDC 2012 on June 11—I don't know what is. Read More >

I just love these old school visualisations: here are all the ships lost by the British Navy during World War II. Many of these were hunted down by Nazi U-Boats. It's a staggering amount but it could have been a lot worse. Read More >
I can't wait to go back to Brazil and spend some time in Rio, the famous city where people dance in flip-flops while showering under giant soda fountains in the middle of the bea—wait. What? Read More >

With my loved ones long away from me, I have missed the ability to use my iPhone's FaceTime over 3G a few times. Even if the quality would have been bad. Well, it seems that Apple may be testing it or getting ready for it, according to this screenshot. Read More >
The Facebook IPOcalypse continues, free falling first, now barely recovering. We don't know if it's going to be the most successful opening IPO in history but, right now, it seems they may have broken the record for the fastest traded record in history. Read More >
The world's most amazeballs digital photography company isn't Canon or Nikon. It's a tiny company in Tucson, Arizona: Spectral Instruments. They make the craziest digital cameras on the planet.

The police have arrested a man for trying to sell six dead babies on the internet, which were being sold for use in witchcraft. The ignorance and cruelty of the human species never ceases to disgust me. Read More >
I can't put this Hasselblad 500EL in my pocket. And I can't use it to snap shots on a daily basis—it will cost a gazillion dollars on film and development. But I would love to have one at home. Just to look at it. It's a work of art. And it was used in the Apollo program. You know...On the Moon. Read More >

Some criminal masterminds in Florida thought that stealing equipment from the Florida Hospital Center for Diagnostic Pathology was a brilliant idea. Now they have £300,000 in medical machines—loaded with flesh eating bacteria. Read More >

Earlier yesterday, Greenpeace launched a full offensive against Apple's Cupertino headquarters. First, in the middle of the night, they projected messages onto the main façade of Infinite Loop. Later, they placed an Apple-branded pod right on the door, inside Apple's property. Read More >
