On the left, Felix Baumgartner salutes as he starts his walk towards his space capsule in Roswell, New Mexico, on March 15. On the right, the moment before he jumped from 13 miles above the Earth. That photo alone blows my mind.
If you’re not already in a queue for the new iPad, chances are you’re not going to get one from Apple today. But that doesn’t mean you can’t get your mitts on one today, or at the very least sooner than 2-3 weeks, but you’re going to have to do some searching around. Here are the best places to look.
Groupon has been spanked very hard by the Office of Fair Trading, which has warned the online discount club it needs to be more "honest and transparent" in advertising its deals and the discount claims it puts forward.
Last month it came to light that Google had been bypassing privacy settings in Safari, by installing cookies to track the browsing habits of millions of users who didn't know what was happening. Now, the FTC in the US is examining whether the incident violates a legal settlement in which Google pledged not to "misrepresent" its privacy practices to consumers.
Google's previous Nexus model received its "Ice Cream Sandwich" update late last year, only to see it promptly pulled before hitting the phones of most users thanks to numerous performance and reliability complaints from early installers. Now it's fixed and ready to roll (out) again.
Nika Zupanc calls this elegantly minimal workspace her Homework Table. But work is probably the farthest thing from your mind when you feast your eyes on it since the table's devoid of drawers and clutter thanks to a clever retracting accordion file.
We’ve heard a lot about the Square mobile payment app that lets you take credit card payments on your phone in the US. It always sounded great but never materialised over this side of the pond. Now we’re getting one of our own made by PayPal – PayPal Here.
The Concorde became the premiere transport across the Atlantic in part because it was precluded from flying over populated areas due to the sonic boom it created on takeoff. A new two-wing design, however, may hold the secret to silently breaking the sound barrier. Guile does not approve.
Do you hate reading as much as we do? It's so frustrating to have to use language made from signifiers placed together in a grammatically correct fashion! Most of the new iPad reviews drone on and on for hundreds or thousands of words, pouring over specs and details and stuff. Too much reading! And, like, cutting into TV time. So we made it better.
The new iPad guts are nice, at last with 1GB of much needed RAM to accelerate all that web browsing.
If you're looking into becoming an enterprising criminal, don't be like these guys. Why? Because these two super slick robbers stole security cameras... without bothering to steal the security cam's footage. Meaning they were recorded stealing by the items they stole.
I thought this was the craziest low pass flyby ever, but obviously I was mistaken. After all, what you're seeing here is not a small fighter yet but a B-52 Stratofortress almost kissing the sea while flying by USS Ranger aircraft carrier.
Those giant power-line transmission towers that keep high-voltage cables safely off the ground have been re-born as miniature versions that can do the same for the mess of USB, power, and headphone cables cluttering up your desk.
Your grandmother says it's because you watch too much TV. Your teacher thinks it's because you're bored. And that creepy guy on the bus just slapped you with a phonebook in an attempt to exorcise the devil living in your molars. All because you're yawning.
A do-it-yourselfer by the name of technocrat (possibly not their real name) has created this fantastic t-shirt with a working version of the YouTube loading animation that everyone has patiently spent time staring at.
I've seen many launches of the space shuttle from the point of view of the rocket booster, but none, none I tell you, match this one. It's simply amazing for one reason: the sound. Put your headphones on and listen.
