I personally don't give a damn about this gimmicky piece of software, but if you have a jailbroken iPhone 4 now you can add full Siri functionality using a Cydia program called H1Siri. Unfortunately, there's a catch.
The Conficker worm was one of the more intriguing and potentially destructive pieces of malware in the past decade. Earlier reports have suggested that Stuxnet was created by the US and Israeli governments, and now Reuters has a source telling them Conficker was also used to negate Iran's nuclear program.
You've probably seen remote controlled dart launchers all over the place, but this updated version transfers launch control from your PC to an iOS device using Bluetooth, letting you play Khrushchev by putting the launcher wherever you like.
If this monstrous snaking course is what slides are like at Japanese playgrounds, my mind probably won't even be able to begin to comprehend the magnitude of their swingsets. I imagine they must tower over skyscrapers.
I love it when old people try to understand the inner workings of the teenage brain. Like if they think hard enough they'll figure out why little Amanda sneaks out at night. Please. Kids are kids! So parents, just understand that you'll never understand the advanced and possibly unreal sexting terminology of your kids.
This is the fastest spinning star in the universe yet. Rotating at a mindblowing one million miles per hour, it's so fast that its shape is not a sphere anymore. They call it VFTS 102. Boring. I prefer Burger Star.
A group of crazy and wonderful scientists have organised the World Cell Race. 50 lab teams from all over the world sent their microscopic pilots to race against each other. The winner: a bone marrow stem cell line from Singapore.
A long time ago, I made a pact with Apple. "You can control my entire technological life, from my computer to my phone to my stereo. I'll pay premium prices. I'll dive into your product ecosystem, and buy books and music and movies and apps from you. Even though they won't work on devices made by anybody else."
Since I started pinhole-ing the world, I've had the strongest desire to make a special camera, with the purpose of shooting just one photograph. The purpose was to sacrifice the camera in the process of photo creation – I wanted the camera to become the photograph. To help you understand, the process from the camera to the photograph is the same that ties the baby bird to the egg: the bird grows protected from the shell and when it's ready, it breaks the egg and comes out.
This isn't the only way to recreate the feeling of talking on an old clunky landline handset with your iPhone, but this overpriced £30 creation from hipster factory Urban Outfitters is certainly the most ridiculous.
Kimbo is a bulldog. He lives in Finca Bellavista, the Endor Moon-like tree village six miles from Golfo Dulce, Costa Rica. For humans and dogs alike, this is paradise on Earth. But how does Kimbo take a walk there? By zip-line.
James Byrne was doing some carpentry work when he cut off his left thumb. Doctors tried to unsuccessfully re-attach it, so they proposed an alternative: "Why don't we use your dominant left toe instead?" He said yes.
Ever considered a glamorous career as a private military contractor? No? But think of all the perks; you get to shoot mindless zombies, stock up on valuable secret intel, and collect all the first aid kits, upgrades and ammo you could possibly eat. At least, that's the prospectus according to Extraction: Project Outbreak.
It happens all the time. You stub your toe or bash your elbow, scream "Mother SUCKER!" (or something), and instantly feel just a bit better. It's true: your potty mouth saves you aspirin money. Science!
Turkey wants to build a Disaster Prevention and Education Center in Istanbul. This is the project proposal by ODA Architecture. It looks like the scene of a disaster itself, which, you know, is exactly what the designers wanted.
The glory of good ol’ fashioned film photography is that you never know exactly what results you’re going to get. There’s no handy LCD screen on which to review your shots, so you’re completely at the mercy of your film -- though half the fun is that any mistakes can be passed off as intentionally-arty effects.
