Nice password you got there! Super complicated, I love it. You know who else loves it? Computers! Because by carefully crafted a string of alphanumerical gibberish that you need tattooed on your palm to remember, you've made a password much easier to crack than, say, four simple unrelated words.
I, like the Canadian animator Joel Furtado, would like to see Nintendo do an HD sequel to The Wind Waker. Sadly it’s never going to happen. But unlike me, Joel has talent, so decided to make his own awesome “The Legend of Zelda: The Lost Oracle” trailer.
Apple has just appointed John Browett, chief executive of UK electronics retailer Dixons (previously of Tesco), as its new vice-president of retail.

WiGig, the wireless tech that can dump massive amount of data extremely quickly over the 60GHz spectrum, is very awesome, but its relatively tiny 1-3m range makes it tough to come up with practical applications that are worth it to most people. This hyper-fast tablet-to-entertainment-system demo seems to be one of them.
Yes, but no more than listening to Justin Bieber. The misconception that there's something unique about Mozart's ability to increase brainpower began in 1993, with a paper in Nature. Neurobiologists Gordon Shaw, Frances Rauscher and Katherine Ky of the University of California at Irvine found that students who listened to 10 minutes of a Mozart sonata demonstrated a temporary increase in spatial-temporal reasoning, as measured by an IQ test.

You probably haven't given much thought to the fact that there's a slab of chemically strengthened glass in your pocket, deflecting blows from keys or change or any other hard objects might slide or scrape or scratch against it, or that the hundreds of millions of similar slices of glass lining pockets around the world wasn't possible not so long ago.
What's that ghostly trail in the air? A bullet, flying and turning on its way to nail a target over a mile away. This is science fiction—4-inches long, and launched from the barrel of a gun.
We know that Apple just had its biggest quarter in history. We know that they made an insane $46.33 billion in revenue. But do we really know how much money $46.33 billion is, well for starters it's £30 billion. It's hard to visualise, so this presentation and facts may help:
On Etsy you can find these books turned iPhone docks, which might be the most awesome and unnecessary Apple accessory since TenOne's iPad stand.
Read some reports of our changing climate today, and you might be convinced that we're about to enter a mini Ice Age, with decades of plummeting temperatures ahead. Here's why that's a lot of hot air.
