At Nokia World, CNET spotted this batshit crazy flexible Nokia phone. Yes. Flexible. As in it's super bendy and twisty and gooey and freaking awesome. It sort of looks alien but the 'Nokia kinetic device' is real.
Nokia just announced two Windows Phone handsets. The first "true" Windows Phones, the company says—and makes a pretty convincing case that they are. But rather than making everyone hot and bothered, Lumia seems to be leaving people cold. Here's why that's wrong.
Facebook says it has 750,000,000 users. Somewhere in that mix of baby pictures and beer poing, a hell of a lot of scam and spam activity is spread. Luckily for us, Zuckerberg retaliates with the "Facebook Immune System."
If you think the mobile phone explosion of recent years has somehow been kept at bay by prison walls, you would be greatly mistaken. Technology, like water, permeates every crack. Today on Lockdown, we're talking phones in jail.
The secret rituals of an 18-Century German occultists have been revealed. The New York Times reports that an exceptional language nerd cracked their code. It sounds like something straight out of Hellboy, except with fewer fights and more computers.
We already know that smoking (or otherwise ingesting) pot causes an uncoordinated brain. Now scientists say they've discovered the mechanism behind pot brain clumsiness, and it could lead to better treatments for schizophrenia.

Apple is known for its ability to create products that are easy to use and even easier to understand. Too bad that ease of use doesn't translate to their latest cloud features. Instead, they've seemed to have mastered the art of confusing the hell out of everyone.
Was Steve Jobs the comeback player of the year in 2001? Was Jeff Bezos rookie of the year? Who won the batting title? What's the equivalent of winning a Golden Glove award? Who is Ted Leonsis???
The original Contract Killer was a fun game but the whole 'you are a hired killer' aspect didn't sit well with many people. Yes, the game glossed over it somewhat by claiming you were taking out 'bad' people but it lent a certain amorality to proceedings. It felt a bit...murder-y.

We've seen Japan's magic flying ball before, but this is the demo where the fumbly bumbly spheroid finally won my heart. The device could be used for reconnaissance, search and rescue, or as the world's greatest piñata. Also: it's adorable.
Wasps, like most insects have clear roles for each member of the colony. Basically, everybody makes sure the queen is doing OK making babies. Everything works like clockwork until a Svengali-like fly larva takes over a wasp and makes it do its bidding.
