This is the first song composed and recorded in space, the result of the collaboration of ISS Commander Chris Hadfield and Ed Robertson, the singer of the Barenaked Ladies. Together with the band and the Wexford Gleeks choir, they recorded I.S.S (Is Somebody Singing) using a live connection between the International Space Station and CBC Music's studio in Toronto, Canada.

Take three minutes of your life to listen to Dr. Jeff Norris, one of the science rock stars at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. He talks about how NASA is working to democratise space exploration by using robots, holodecks and 3D technologies so we can all see space with our own eyes using space probes that will travel to other planets and stars.

This guy claims that this invention is a perpetual motion machine, the Philosopher's Stone of physics, the Holy Grail of power. Play the video and check it out for yourself. Read More >>

Look people, I know the BlackBerry Z10 looks great, but I just can't believe that some of you are doing these stupid things to get one for free. Ok, five of you. Read More >>
This video wants to make me rip my eyes out using the edge of my Xbox gamepad, but it heralds an immediate future that fires a clusterstorm of nerdgasms inside my sci-fi-damaged brain. It shows what Capri, the next 3D sensor by the makers of Microsoft Kinect, is bringing to us: extreme precision, fast motion tracking that gadget makers would be able to embed everywhere, from your tablet, laptop and TV to elevators, robots and appliances.

The Lego Back to the Future set went official last year. Now it's time for another classic from the 80s: the A-Team van. Unlike the Back to the Future set, this one is a fully functional, remote controlled Technic model—which is even better. I love it when a set comes together. Please Vimal Patel, submit this to Cuusoo ASAP. [YouTube via Brothers Brick] Read More >>
This practical joke could have turned into tragedy: watch as some "friends" throw a guy out of a boat after seeing a great white shark in the distance. As they approach the shark, the animal turns around and goes straight to get him, just a fraction of a second before he gets back into the boat. Read More >>
These are NASA's GRAIL twin spacecraft's final videos before crashing straight into the Moon. Ebb and Flow — as the spacecraft's were affectionately known at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory — turned on their video cameras for one last time three days before impact. The footage is truly beautiful. Read More >>

Remember when Apple used to be a little more fun and irreverent, a lot less stiff and politically correct, and not such dicks? Yeah, those were the good times. Life is definitely better when you are the underdog. Read More >>
Eddie Zarick is a clever man. First, he has a girlfriend who is a comic book nerd and loves Iron Man ("She always calls me Tony Stark for all of the projects I have going," he says). Second, he can make stuff like this cool motorised Iron Man arc reactor, which opens to reveal a proposal ring. Read More >>

You probably knew that it's impossible to pull apart two phonebooks put together with interleaving pages. But did you know that the bond—caused by the mechanical friction of the interleaving pages—is so strong that it can lift an entire car? This video demonstrates exactly that. The best part, however, may be to watch the car fall when they burn the phonebooks. Read More >>

Every time I look at the sky in a remote location, far away from cities' light pollution, I marvel at the immensity of the Universe. But this video truly shows how much bigger the Universe is, how impossibly huge. Just watch and look at all those dots turn into galaxies until you reach your destination. Read More >>

The Hobbit trailer train has well and truly left the station. But, now we're getting clips taken straight from the movie, including this one where Bilbo gets gifted his famous blue-glowing Elvish blade, Sting. Something tells me he's going to need it. Time to slice and dice. [TheFilmStage via TotalFilm] Read More >>
