Watch our lovingly-shot video that shows off the more polished details of the M Monochrom, and let us know if it gets your heart racing a little faster. Read More >

Everyone loves YouTube. You can easily upload your stuff, even right from your phone; watch it back on almost every platform, and best of all it's free. Now YouTube's just turned the ripe old age of seven, and in just 12 months we've uploaded a third more video every minute than last year. Instead of a puny 48 hours every 60 seconds, we now upload a colossal 72 hours of content every single minute of the day -- that's a year of constant viewing uploaded in just over two hours.

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 >

If you needed yet another reminder that you're far from being a Lego master builder, check out 'Sheepo's' mind-blowingly awesome 1:8.4-scale Land Rover Defender 110 built from over 2,800 pieces. It could probably endure an off-road adventure better than your compact car. Read More >
Remember those crazy, skywalking Russians?? The ones who fearlessly (and stupidly) scaled extremely tall structures with no safety measures. This video raises the fad to new levels. Read More >
It turns out Phantom cameras are useful for more than just destroying household items and blowing stuff up. This Fiat Abarth spot made use of the slow-motion wonder cam in this fantastical "still moving image," and the behind the scenes is pretty amazing. Read More >

There's no telling whether this is the result of one bored teen's epiphany, or whether rainbow spew parties will join spin-the-bottle and pog-swaps in the lineage of teen group fads. Read More >

If you have ever seen an Alan Rickman movie, you know the dramatic weight he brings to pretty much every gesture and utterance he delivers on screen. Now imagine that in aggressively slow motion. Or better yet, watch it. Read More >
When the Colombian downhill mountain biker Marcelo Gutierrez competes in races, he's kind enough to video his rides and post them online. They're usually terrifying, but this one, which took place in the foothills of Montserrate last week, is particularly exhilarating. Read More >

A dude called Flippycat thought it would be a good idea to stack 60,000 dominos to make 60 big walls and then hit them to watch them fall. I don't blame him; it's so satisfying watching all that colour fall. Read More >
Last week, along with a cool-but-crazy monochrome-only digital camera, Leica announced that it was launching a a special edition of its M9 with fashion label Hermès. It will cost an eye-watering £15,500—and this video goes some way to explaining that price. Read More >

As Europe rebuilt itself after WWII, the Raleigh Bicycle Company's popularity exploded—in large part because their bikes were faster, stronger, and lighter than anything else on the market. Heck, by 1946, Raleigh and other English bicycle makers were responsible for 95 percent of the bikes on American roadways. This short film explains how Raleighs were designed and built.
