The iPad 3 is now in manufacturing and the inevitable leaks keep coming out from part manufacturers, including images of its double-resolution Retina-ish display and its brains. Now it's the turn of the outer aluminium shell, which reveals some interesting details.
Jeb Corliss is a seasoned wingsuit flyer: he's jumped off the Eiffel Tower, the Space Needle, and even the Petronas Twin Towers in Malaysia with just flaps of material to keep him aloft. But when he jumped off Table Mountain, he hit one of its outcrops at full speed. Somehow, he survived.
I’ve always wondered what the underlying system is behind those massive fancy interactive store guides you get in shopping centres like Westfield. Seems some enterprising hackers had a look and found you could get one to view any website, including a porn site.
Just like Boardwalk Empire, The Walking Dead is a fake good show. All the style and swagger, none of the substance. It had its moment during season one but this season has been a snoozefest filled with yawns, farms and not enough walkers. But you know what's still great? The special effects.
Seen any massive painted eggs on your travels within London this morning? No me neither, but today marks the start of The Big Egg Hunt, which partners fancy egg-jewellers Fabergé with Action for Children and the Elephant Family for the world’s biggest (only?) egg hunt. It’s not even Easter yet, but keep your eyes peeled, there’s £100,000 to be won.
If you're so rugged that you demand your technology is teamed with accessories that look like they should form part of an engine, I've just found you the perfect iPad stand. It even has a manly name: this is the Rokstand.
To go along with the release of the PlayBook 2.0 update, RIM also included new remote functionality in the BlackBerry Bridge app, so that BB phones can control the PlayBook But as people are finding out, it can control much, much more than just a single tablet.
I couldn't paint someone's portrait even if I had access to DaVinci's brushes, paints, and other tools. So I'm completely mesmerised by Hong Yi's ability to create this image of singer Jay Chou with nothing but spilled coffee and a mug.
Maybe, but it's going to take a long time. For the past 200,000 years or so, fatty and sugary foods were hard for humans to come by and well worth gorging on. Fats help maintain body temperature, sugars provide energy, and craving such food is hardwired: Eating fats and sugars activates reward centers in the brain.
The Daily managed to get its iPad-loving mitts on a working prototype of Microsoft’s Office app for Apple’s tablet, which apparently features interface cues taken from Redmond’s existing OneNote app with a decent pinch of Metro rolled in for good measure.
This is Apple's new data centre in Maiden, North Carolina. Unlike most power-hungry centres, this won't be gobbling up energy from the grid: it's going to be powered by the sun. If you can't get your products made 100 per cent ethically, at least you can try and be eco-friendly, right?
Why’s it so freaking difficult to legally get the content you want? The Oatmeal explains with this spot-on portrayal of an attempt to stay legal and buy access to a show, rather than just taking the easy route and pirating the damn thing. But you know what -- it’s just not possible and it's bloody infuriating. And they wonder why people still pirate stuff.
In a landmark ruling by the English High Court, Facebook can now be used to serve notices and legal claims like injunctions, court orders and court summons within the UK. Now they'll be no where to hide.
James Naughtie and Andrew Marr aren’t the only BBC presenters who are prone to the odd c-word slip, it seems the weathermen are too. Apparently they’ll be bucket loads of c**t on the way for Britain – sounds nasty.
The Smart Fortwo wasn’t exactly the best looking car in the world, but when you pimp it out with a detachable third-axel, you get something that even Pimp My Ride would be ashamed of.
Planking is so over. Breading? Yesterday's news. Sandwiching hasn't really hit mainstream yet. Now is the time when we, as a people, cry out for a new internet trend to fill the void. And to that I say: coon-hounding.
