Can you hear that cry for the next Martin Scorsese, bouncing around the internet like an aural Ken Burns effect? It's come from Vimeo, which wants to find 2011's future directors, after seeing some enormous accomplishments from the inaugural Vimeo festival+award winners last year.
Oh, Comic Sans. You're so approachable, so childlike, so human and... so disgustingly awful. As an eye gouge for many, the favouritest font of horrible rich people and vision vomit for the rest of us, Comic Sans should die 2136 times and then be wiped from our memories. OR SHOULD IT!? The Comic Sans Project hilariously flips famous logos into the deepest pits of font hell.
What you're seeing above is a slow motion capture of light propagating across a piece of fruit. I would call it "super slowmo", but honestly, at one trillion frames a second, "super" just doesn't seem to capture it.
Let’s face it – human beings can never get enough telly can we/they? Whether it’s leering at the actual human detritus on the Jeremy Kyle broadcast or leering at the fictional human detritus on Eastenders, telly is the gift that keeps on giving.
Given Spotify's now limiting free free users of its service to just 10 hours per month, stumping up 99p for unlimited streaming suddenly sounds a lot more attractive. Available today in 18 countries, Rara.com has rights to music from Universal; Sony; EMI; Warner and indie labels, adding up to 10 million tracks for streaming -- that's five million less than Spotify, fact-fans.
Looking like it's slowly melting into a puddle on the floor, you might think this chair is made from liquid mercury. Philipp Aduatz's Melting Chair does a great impression of the T-1000, but still provides a presumably comfortable place to sit.
Google has added a separate sensible area to YouTube, gathering together all of its educational output into a locked-down channel it's calling YouTube for Schools.
Most styluses are designed to look and feel like a pen — great for writing, terrible for drawing. That's why this new stylus from Studio Neat is built like a crayon.
You have to like a company that follows through. Four years ago Hitachi said we'd have 4TB hard drives by 2011. And it's just about scraped that deadline (in the US) with its Deskstar 5K4000.
We've seen D-Wave tout its first £6.4 million quantum computer, the One; but boffins from Bristol have made a giant leap forward in the pursuit of "home" quantum computing with a relatively small-sized, more cost effective chip.
Who says you need a big budget to create awesome movies? Animation Intern Steven Briand created this clever stop-motion video, titled Proteigon, during his two-month tenure at Partizan with little more than a camera, some paper, and an excellent understanding of geometry.
Just look at the destruction. Seaside towns transformed into inland mountains of rubble. Google's traveled some 44,000 kilometers through tsunami-ravaged Japanese countryside to digitally archive the immense damage. Be sure to have a hanky at the ready when exploring.
The Post Office's national IT network suffered a couple of outages yesterday, making the simple act of JUST TRYING TO POST SOMETHING even more depressing and long-winded than usual.
It's just a few blasters short of battling Jedis, but if you've ever chased a runaway ball down the street you'll appreciate Kåre Halvorsen's MorpHex sphere, which can transform into a six-legged crab and simply walk back to you.
It's that time of year again where you'll probably be getting up and into work before the Sun is really in its stride; and by the time 5pm rolls around, it's already on its way to bed. Lack of a decent dose of daylight can give you Seasonal Affective Disorder, but that's where the SEQUINTEC "sun glasses" could give you the white light hit that your body so desperately craves.
