The late Nick DeWolf—a MIT engineer who designed more than 300 semiconductor and electronic systems—really loved photography. So much that he carried a camera for most of his life. Now his son is digitising all his pictures and publishing them one by one.
Some people complain that there's too much CGI in movies. Nothing is quote unquote real anymore. I say screw them. Let's CGI anything possible. Actors posing as furniture! Motion capturing non motion! Backgrounds! Guns! Lamps! All CGI everything, baby.
You’ve that a massive NES controller to play with, but what about one you can fit in your wallet? This awesome-looking all-copper capacitive NES joypad that’s about the size of a credit card, and can be made at home with the help of a KickStater project, might fit the bill.
The EU is planning to introduce new data-protection legislation to cover all of Europe, to protect us from being exploited by evil corporations and eventually save small businesses "2.3 billion euros" thanks to reduced admin costs.
I love a good drum solo: it's chance for an often-overlooked musician to throw themselves into the limelight. But combine it with motion-tracking software to create a living art work, and a solo becomes truly mesmerising.
I'm a city boy, I love everything about a city — the energy, the bars, the buildings, the noise — and would cry suburgatory if you stripped me away from the city life. But after watching this Yosemite timelapse video, I might take a sabbatical into nature myself. It's so gosh darn beautiful.
It’s not just Mac users who can now release the shackles of Apple’s grip on their iPhone 4S and iPad 2 – Windows users can now grab GreenPoins0n Absinthe and jailbreak their A5-packing iDevice.
I'm not that big a fan of the vino but I really want to drink the Cabernet Sauvignon from Ian Hutchinson's vineyard in Chile's Cachapoal Valley. Why? Well, for some reason, it's aged with an eight-centimetre, 4.5 billion years old meteor from the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. SPACEWINE.
Unlike getting hold of iOS apps, it's always been possible to trawl the web for software that doesn't appear in the Android Market. But that process is about to get even easier, because soon there will be an unofficial store for banned Android apps.
RIM's co-CEOs, Mike Lazaridis and Jim Balsillie — aka the keyboard-loving odd couple — are finally realising they're running the BlackBerry into the ground and jumping ship before it's too late. That is, Lazaridis and Balsillie are stepping down at RIM. Done. Gone. Bye bye. The new CEO of RIM will be former COO Thorsten Heins. He has quite the job ahead of him, to say the least.
In what looks like a desperate preventive measure in reaction to the Megaupload shutdown, FileSonic has disabled all file sharing capabilities and is now nothing more than a personal storage solution. It looks like the Feds' scare tactic of going after the big fish in Megaupload is beginning to scare other file sharing sites.
Dante Autullo is a tough guy. He's also, according to his wife, a very accident prone guy. So when he accidentally hit his head with a nail gun and only saw a scratch, he didn't think anything of it...
The answer is pretty obvious, right? It's cheaper labour! But is that the only reason why Apple (and other companies) outsource its workforce to China as opposed to keeping them at home? No. There's more. The NY Times has an excellent report on why Apple ignores America when it comes to making the iPhone and how that's better for Apple.
I'm either on drugs or these photos were somehow taken from the reflection of puddles in the street. It may be both. But! It's certainly the latter. Ira Fox, the photographer, created the photo series Reflections by cruising the streets of New York and snapping pics of people who can be seen in reflections off the puddles.
There's a good chance you've seen most of the photos featured in Tim Mantoani's new book, Behind Photographs. But I doubt you've seen the faces of the photographers behind those shots, who are finally given the notoriety they all deserve.
Like the hilarious Chris Brown Look at Me Now video before it, this music video of LMFAO's played too much Party Rock song is made completely with MS Paint.
