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.
Back in the olden days of photography, big box cameras had slow-as-snails shutters, so it was nearly impossible to get kids to sit still for the duration of the long exposure. If they moved, the pictures would be blurry! So what was the old photog solution? Why let's have their mothers hide under blankets and blend into the background to comfort the kid!
If you think you've come up with the next great cooking invention, I highly recommend first taking a few months to actually learn how to cook. It will save the world from stupid creations like this Portion measuring spoon.
Home Security products are expensive and created by developers that have no interest in making things easy for end users. Instead, pull that old iPhone out of a drawer and make it the spy cam you've always wanted.
This guy, 87mcmahan87 on YouTube, is one ballsy son of a gun. Just watch this video. He recorded himself zooming around on his motorbike on a super skinny and snowy mountain ridge in Colorado. I almost died watching him balance, teeter and tease fate like a madman. If he slipped up, he would've come crashing down to his death.
People of Earth. You are DOOOOOOOOOMED. How's that for a cheery sentiment on a Tuesday afternoon? No seriously, you're doomed. There's no hope, not unless you boot up Unstoppable Gorg on your iPad and fight the good fight against an army of bug-eyed aliens. Actually, that sounds like it might be quite fun.
Jim Henson made this video in 1963 for Bell Labs, to try and illustrate the difference between humans and computers (most people back then had barely even heard of computers, let alone used them). It is, to say the least, very very trippy.
Before Steve Jobs passed away, he apparently made it known he was interested in meeting with Lytro CEO Ren Ng about the possibilities of light field capture technology in iPhones. And as the story goes, Ng obliged, setting up a meeting as swiftly as is humanly possible.
All of you Timeline holdouts: the holding out ends soon. "Over the next few weeks, everyone will get timeline," says Facebook. And by "will get," they mean "must use." Here we go!
