This rad little stop-motion video made by Australian design firm Messy Design is an awesome, creative use of everyday things. But really, you're a design firm and you left the tripod legs and extension cord in the shot? Tsk tsk. Maybe they're called Messy Design for a reason.
These winged ants are copulating with their queen. Apparently, they didn't notice the big spider who is eating it from the top.
What is that object above? It was apparently found near a remote village in the middle of Siberia, and no one knows how it got there or what it is. It’s presumed to have fallen from space, but the 200kg “fragment” isn’t anything related to human space technology, according to Russian space agency officials. Did a chunk of ET’s ship really just crash-land on Earth?
I get transfixed watching rivers of lava flow, either fast and fluid, or growing in slow motion, like the living rocks at 1 minute and 53 seconds in this video.
I'm really amazed by this video, because I always dreamed about doing this: watch Dutch mechanical engineer Jarno Smeets take off by flapping wings of his own invention — just like a real bird! It's uncanny.
Sky’s really been pushing its brands online with Sky Go and even companion apps like the Sky Sports iPad app that sports “Race Control” for F1. Now it’s going the whole hog and has unveiled a brand new IPTV service called Now TV that’ll launch later this year for non-Sky subscribers. It’ll apparently give you instant access to some of Sky’s most popular content on a hopefully cheaper, pay-as-you-go tariff.
What is OK Go-pid? It's the new dating service by OK Go, the band that makes the coolest, craziest, most absurd videos this side of Rick James.
Bruce Springsteen started this year's South by Southwest festival with a beautiful and inspiring—even tear-jerking at times—talk about creativity, music and hard work.
Scientists at Clemson University in the US have rigged an HP Deskjet 500 printer to make microscope slides full of living cells. It spits out a a special cell-packed ink from the printer's standard cartridge. The process creates cells with temporary permeability in the cell walls, and the holes in the cells are large enough to allow fluorescent molecules to be injected. That glowing stuffing illuminates the membranes, so researchers can get a look at what's happening inside the cells. When studying a heart, for example, the technique can be used to examine how the cardiac muscles respond to mechanical force and fluid shear.
Crazy jet fighter pilots: CHECK! Crazy bomber pilots: CHECK! Crazy military transport pilots: Watch this crazy pilot fly this Swedish Air Force' Hercules C-130 as low as five feet just over the head of his colleagues.
This video, Full Circle made by Klezinski Films, is absolutely incredible. It seamlessly shows people jumping rope from the rope's POV.
Microsoft showed-off the ability to use Xbox Live to take your gaming from Windows Phone back onto your Xbox way back in 2010, but we’ve yet to actually see a game come out that supports it. It looks we might finally see it though with the incoming Sonic 4: Episode 2, according to Sega.
I've seen many launches of the space shuttle from the point of view of the rocket booster, but none, none I tell you, match this one. It's simply amazing for one reason: the sound. Put your headphones on and listen.
