Featuring a colossal 1,200 real-life cars, 33 tracks, and even Silverstone for those wanting to do a few laps of our iconic circuit, Gran Turismo 6 will hit the PS3 by Christmas this year. The best driving game looks like it's back with a vengeance. Read More >>
It might seem impossible to comprehend the web existing before Google but it did! And the company built on search has had a significant impact on how the web looks and works today. During today's I/O keynote, this little video was shown and it's so disgustingly cute for such a nerdy topic that I just had to share it in case you missed it. Read More >>
A lot of us remember Jurassic Park as the perfect summer blockbuster. It had everything you could ask for: CG dinosaurs, Samuel L. Jackson, CG dinosaurs, an awkwardly shirtless Jeff Goldblum, CG dinosaurs, and of course Spielberg behind the camera. Read More >>
I don't know why I enjoy this quick little video so much, but I've watched it over and over. It's probably because anything involving a taser is always hilarious unless you're the person the taser wants to involve. It's probably also because even though a taser can turn a grown man into a baby, it cannot do anything to a candle. I mean nothing. [YouTube via BoingBoing] Read More >>

We all know that computing power roughly doubles every 18 months — but at that rate, how long will it take for computers to be as powerful as the human brain? Read More >>

The first problems that come to mind when you think about time travel probably involve the fabric of the universe or the state of your own existence. But those aren't what would make time travel just plain old irritating. Glove and Boots came up with a little list, and you'll wonder how you never considered them. Maybe blowing up the universe isn't so bad. [Glove and Boots via Laughing Squid] Read More >>
Isotopes v.2 looks alluring. All those pretty, pulsating lines of light draw people in. Relaxing. But once they get in there, things start to change. The lights become more constant and intense. Basically they put people in a somewhat oppressive light prison. Soooo, probably not relaxing. Read More >>
ISS Commander and mustachioed Canadian Chris Hadfield has given us no end of joys during his current five-month stint floating above our blue orb. But perhaps none of them is as touching — and just downright incredible — as his sendoff cover of David Bowie's Space Oddity.Read More >>
Remember the now-ubiquitous bullet time effect in the Matrix? That technique requires dozens of cameras and other expensive gear, but JPL engineer, inventor and Gizmodo friend Mark Rober, figured out how to do it for just a few quid. Read More >>
Wait for it. Wait for ittttt. Waaaitttt forrr itttt. Waai... and then boom, there it is. This poor guy accidentally deployed his parachute too early. So early that he was still on the plane. As you can imagine, he immediately got sucked out of the plane. It's like a scene from the movies, the parachute drags him out and you can see his body whip back. Scary.

The thought of being ditched at sea isn't as terrible as being left behind in space. At least when you compare the trailers for Open Water and Alfonso Cuarón's latest, Gravity. The synopsis for this space odyssey goes something like this: Read More >>
Sony talked up a storm about how the PS4 was engineered with developers in mind, and that's exactly what the Ubisoft boys behind Assassin's Creed say too. Of course, they're being paid to say that, probably, but watch and see how immense Assassin's Creed IV's going to look on the next generation console. Read More >>

If lightsabres ever become real, and let's be honest some genius will dedicate his entire life into making that happen, I hope the entire world will be well practiced in how to handle them. Sure the ballet of Star Wars characters fighting in light sabres looks great (or ridiculous), but when you get an up close view on the sword fight? The whole world will be missing at least one of their hands. Read More >>
