Apple's new Cupertino HQ promises to be an ultra-modern hub of highly considered, state-of-the-art design. But was this UFO-beamed-down-from-the-future actually inspired by a architectural relic from the Bay Area's past?
Are you that person? Perpetually spying on your friends' phone for whatever reason?
For the first time ever, NASA has been able to capture a massive solar eruption with unprecedented detail using IRIS, a highly sensitive instrument that can only cover a relatively small zone of the Sun at any give time. Catching this involved "some educated guesses and a little bit of luck."
The Earth Science Picture of the Day is featuring this spectacular photo of a double rainbow at the end of a stormy day. It was taken last April by Manolis Shamanos at sunset, in the island of Samos, Greece. It really looks like some kind of supernatural phenomenon.
Morpheus—the otherworldly NASA's autonomous rocket lander—has been able to land in complete darkness on a rugged terrain using its Autonomous Landing Hazard Avoidance Technology. The resulting video looks beautiful, like a sequence from a sci-fi movie.
There's no end to fantasies about living on the moon. Actually possible moon bases, fictional Nazi moon bases, insane Newt Gingrich moon bases. Swedish artist Mikael Genberg has a more modest goal: one, tiny, uninhabited lunar house by 2015.
Yeast is integral to a lot of things, booze in particular. When a brewery in Cockermouth flooded, killing their yeast supply, all seemed lost. Fortunately there are those who keep yeast samples as a back-up in case such a disaster occurs. Read on to find out more.
Apart from a brief afternoon fling with a chunky Dutch cruiser in Rotterdam a few years back, I've been with the same road bike since I started riding around San Francisco four years ago. We've got a great thing going, but I had grown complacent. I was ready to see what else was out there. So it was with a tinge of giddiness (and slight apprehension) that I made the decision to go on a break.
For devoted skiers, there's nothing quite like finding a slope covered in a blanket of fresh snow. And with Helly Hansen's First Tracks alarm clock app, they'll have a better chance at being the first on the mountain after an overnight snowfall since it automatically wakes you up earlier if there's fresh powder to be enjoyed.
In many respects, YouTube is still about watching people fail in spectacular ways and injure themselves. But it turns out there's serious scientific research into the faceplant video.
I'm starting to think that yammering on about plans to resurrect Stargate and Independence Day is the only thing that's keeping Roland Emmerich alive. He's announced a Stargate reboot AGAIN.
You can go ahead and add the car to your list of things you own that might get hacked. While it's not easy to accomplish, this video will explain how it could be done.
We've seen many teardowns of new tech in the past, and more recently devices seemed to have been getting more and more awkward to fix. Fortunately, LG's recently unveiled G3 is not one of those devices. In fact it's surprising how easy it is to fix.
Bzzz. Bzzzzzzz. Bzzzz. That's the sound of a house fly slowly driving you insane, but it's music to the ears of a team of computer scientists and entomologists at UC Riverside. These meticulous folks came up with a way to collect data on insects by tracking the distinct melodies of their wings in flight.
Reports are coming out of Taiwan that the phone giant is developing a smartwatch of its own: the 'HTC One Wear'.
May has come and gone, but as we look forwards into the misty waters of June there should be just one thing on our minds -- what were the best apps May had to offer?
