Or at least it sure pretends to be! The spherical unit doesn't look like any microwave we've ever seen, owing mostly to its wonderful sci-fi form, but also that dubious under-lighting. Sort of Kubrick meets Vin Diesel.
We knew Dubai was growing uncontrollably, but this video demonstrates how absolutely crazy this growth has been. It covers eleven years, from 2000 to 2011. These sheiks and their real estate developers are completely nuts.
TEPCO officials attempted to peer inside the damaged #2 Fukushima reactor this week but couldn't discern the level of destruction on account of all the Gamma radiation present. Good thing they didn't lower Bruce Banner in there.
Anyone who's purchased anything from Apple in the last decade knows how beautiful an experience unboxing their products is. In fact, there's a small team at Apple who take the subject very, very seriously.
That bail hearing scheduled for Monday in the MegaUpload conspiracy trial didn't go as well as MU founder Kim Dotcom had hoped. It looks like he's going to remain in custody for a few more weeks.
Apple's doing great. Like enough money to buy a small country, tear it down, then rebuild it entirely out of Gorilla Glass, great. So it's no wonder that Tim Cook wants to talk to the assembled employees about the future.
If you suck at Scrabble as much as I do, the prospect of putting your epic three-letter creations on display with this massive 49-square foot board isn't that appealing. Nor is paying £7,695 just to embarrass yourself.
I need to sit up when I read. A bed or a couch makes me promptly fall asleep. A straight-backed chair proves uncomfortable for extended reading sessions. Thus I've been on a never-ending quest for the perfect reading chair. When I first laid eyes on Claesson Koivisto Rune's Isola chair, I immediately thought it might be The One.
Kazakhstan isn't the first country I'd associate with modernism and gleaming infrastructure, but according to photos from English Russia, I'm dead wrong: the Altmay Metro is gorgeous. And, shocking to any urbanite, gorgeously clean, like Star Trek with more maids.
Any moron can download a movie or album—but torrenting a new pair of jeans? That's the future right there. At least according to Swedish anti-copyright royalty The Pirate Bay, which declared physical objects to be their next bounty.
Apple just set company records for net income ($13.06 billion, or £8.72bn) and revenue ($46.33 billion, or £29.71bn), thanks in large part to selling as many iPhones as there are people in California. Oh, and nearly half as many iPads, too.
It's happening! One of my favorite Lego projects ever is coming to life: Lego Minecraft!
Intellectual property is important. There's no denying that. But there's a line between protecting yourself and just trying to kill everybody around you. It's one Apple has already crossed, and it's not doing anybody any good. Time to knock it off.
Cooking is science, as Momofuku's David Chang says. But perhaps no branch more so than the arcane practices of pastry chefs—it's all chemistry and physics.
You like whiskey. You looooove good whiskey. You can't afford to drop hundreds on a high-end bottle. You stick with rotgut, right? Nope. There's a new process of hyper-aging booze that apparently turns run-of-the-mill whiskey into dark and delicious firewater of the gods.
