indicator to let you know when they're fully preheated, and they command

Terrifying video shows the lung capacity of smokers vs nonsmokers
I've
seen many photos and videos of smokers' lungs—all of them
disgusting—but I've never seen a better case against cigarettes than
this Vine showing the differences in lung capacity between a smoker and a
nonsmoker.
Captain America should use these throwing ninja star shield weapons
Captain
America's shield is as iconic as comic book superhero weapons get but
that doesn't mean there's no room for improvement. Man at Arms: Reforged
decided to give it an upgrade by turning the shield into throwing ninja
stars. Captain America should definitely use them for his next movie.
The Comedy That Should Win At Tonight's Emmys (But Won't)
The Emmys are starting momentarily and the list of nominations looks like it was regurgitated from two years ago. Mad Men again? Downton Abbey, yawn. Does anyone really watch Veep? I'm rooting for one of the smartest, most original, and consistently hilarious nominees in years: HBO's Silicon Valley.
Everybody survived this crazy crash that flipped a speedboat in the air
Thankfully,
the two drivers of this speedboat are still alive after the crash. And
the crash was crazy. The speedboat launched itself into the air like a
rocket, flipped end over end and then spun again one more time for good
measure before it slammed into the water bow first. Just nuts.
Win a $150 Best Buy Gift Card to Put the Pizzazz Back in Your Summer
Summer
always starts with such promise. The air echoes with the clinking of
ice cubes in highball glasses; your eyes fill with swimming pools. Then
August rolls around. The grass turns brown, the air conditioning starts
to wheeze from exertion, and the Back to School displays at the
drugstore fill even long-ago…
A Gadget That Stops Seats From Reclining Caused a Plane-Diverting Fight
Planes are giving us less and less leg room
so it's no surprise that quarrels break out between passengers over
space. Yesterday, one such altercation got so heated that a plane was
diverted to Chicago. And at the heart of the conflict? A nifty little device called the Knee Defender, which prevents seats from…
The Perfect Song for Driving Through the Night
The last thing you might expect to hear on an early 20th century period
medical drama about corpse-stealing ambulances and childbirth gone
horribly wrong is electronic music. The show in question, The Knick—or Steven Soderbergh and Clive Owen's Mad Men but with doctors—is by most accounts all right. The music is…
Someone Boiled Their GoPro To Film an Egg Being Poached
People use GoPros to film all sorts of stuff, from swimming manta rays to swimming races off Alcatraz.
You could watch footage of people doing extreme water-based activities
captured via GoPro every day for the rest of your life, and there would
still be so much GoPro footage of people doing extreme water-based…
A Gut Microbe Could Be the Key to Stopping Peanut Allergies
In
the past few decades, food allergies have been increasingly and
mysteriously on the rise. A possible explanation lies with our gut
bacteria, which have been reshaped by our soap- and antibiotics-laden lifestyles. A new study in mice adds intriguing evidence: one particular type of bacteria prevents sensitivity to…
This Clever Image Search Could Change The Way You Find Pictures Online
Compared
to searching for text, searching for images is super hard. But a new
way to index and navigate through averaged images—those blurry
composites that pull together millions of images into one—could radically change the way that we search for photos or products online.
A Single Android App Is Crippling the Nat'l Weather Service's Website
If you've been trying to look up your forecast on the National Weather Service's website
this afternoon, you may have noticed that the forecasts are days out of
date or not loading at all. Apparently, this is the result of a single
"abusive" Android app overloading the agency's servers.
The NSA Made Its Own Google to Help Share Your Data with Cops
Well, here's timely NSA revelation for you: The Intercept reports that the spy agency built a "Google-like" search engine
for its seemingly bottomless cache of data on persons of interest. This
tool allows the spy agency to share over 850 billion records with
nearly two dozen U.S. government organizations, including…
The Best Convertible Car Seat
A
convertible car seat will help protect your child when rear-facing or
forward-facing, and will become a permanent fixture in your car. If I
were buying one today, I'd get the Chicco Nextfit 65 due to its easy installation and extended rear-facing capability.
Amazing 1960s Predictions About Satellites, Email, and the Internet
It's
hard for many of us living here in the early 21st century to imagine a
world without satellites. Well, in fairness, we don't really think about
satellites at all. Much like electricity or tap water, we only remember
how vital they are when they stop working. Our GPS devices,
smartphones, and modern military…
A Guide to the Golden Age of Corporate Logo Design
NASA.
Audi. ABC. Lufthansa. The MTA. Beginning in the 1960s, some of the
world's best-known corporate entities were immortalized thanks to the
work a group of graphic designers who were responsible for introducing
to the notion of "branding." And now, there's an anthology that collects
them all in one place.
Just Six Months After the Olympics, Sochi Looks Like a Ghost Town
It's
been almost exactly six months since the Sochi Olympics wrapped up and
the world promptly moved on to speculating about the Rio 2016. Since
then, the town of Sochi has been left holding the proverbial bag—which
as Russian photographer Alexander Belenkiy shows us, is full of too many buildings and not enough…
Why Everyone Wanted to Buy Twitch
Even
if you're not "a gamer," you've heard of Twitch. It's a live-streaming
juggernaut, the fourth-highest source of peak-time internet traffic in
the United States, the place that did that Pokemon thing. It only makes sense that Google wanted to buy them, and that Amazon just did. In fact, the surprising thing is…
Yep, Amazon's Buying Twitch for $970 Million
The rumors are true, Amazon is in fact buying Twitch for $970 million, despite rumors that Google almost pulled the trigger just weeks ago.
Watch How an Emmy Statuette Comes to Life
Before
the Emmy winners are announced tonight and they grasp their shiny
trophy on stage in front of millions, each one of those statuettes began
as a pool of pure virgin metal, liquified at 700 degrees. That's hot.
Why Ikea Is Ditching Giant Parking Lots
Ikea
is synonymous with the suburbs; part of the furniture shopping ritual
has always included an often-lengthy drive to a industrial or semi-rural
area of your town. But this summer, the company is testing out a new
paradigm for its empire: Stores in the city. With far fewer spots for
cars.
