German astronaut Alexander Gerst.
Watch the remote-controlled flight of a cyborg moth
Researchers at North Carolina State University implanted electrodes in the muscles of moths—Manduca sexta—so they can remote-control their flight. This technique could lead to a new generation of small-sized biobots that can be used for both military and civil purposes.

SeaWorld is back in the news in a big way this week. First, the park announced an ill-timed, controversial expansion.

protest against the park back in May which changed the freeway signage
to "Sea World SUCKS."

This champagne glass is shaped after Kate Moss' left breast (NSFW)
A
(false) legend says that the first champagne glass was molded using the
left breast of Marie Antoinette, Queen of France till her head rolled.
It was actually created in England, like this new champagne glass modeled after the left breast of Kate Moss, the modern Queen of Fashion. Let's compare with the real thing…
Video shows what these alien-looking sea creatures look like up close
The Portuguese man o' war, also known as the weirdest looking creature with the coolest name,
was captured in an up close video that shows how stunning this colorful
alien-looking, not jellyfish, blown-up balloon can be. I can't believe
these things live on the same planet that we do.
I Just Saw Boyz II Men For the First Time and It Was Incredible
Last
Saturday, there was a special surprise at the end of the Mets game.
Boyz II Men played a free concert. As the members of the R&B group
are now in their 40s and certainly have better things to do than play
free concerts, my expectations were low. But holy shit, they blew my
mind!
iPhone 5 Battery Letting You Down? Apple Might Replace It—For Free
If your iPhone 5's battery just doesn't have the kick that it feels like it should, you might be able to get a new one for free.

or C) that "may suddenly experience shorter battery life or need to be
charged more frequently." You can check if yours…
Should Cities Have Zoning For Drones?
The
FAA's rules about commercial drones have so far been ham-fisted: ban,
except in special cases. But what would a world where we live, play, and
work next to drones look like? What would city zoning for drones look
like?
Four of These Clamps Will Turn Almost Anything Into a Table
Last year, Gizmodo wrote about a Kickstarter for the Floyd Leg,
an age-old, simple-as-nails clamp that turns whatever vaguely
table-sized piece of material you choose into, well, an actual table. It
was a refreshingly simple invention amidst the usual morass of insane vaporware and weird personal projects, and now,…
Vapshot Mini Review: Vaping Alcohol Is One Hell of a Fun Gimmick
Like
many warm-blooded humans, I like to drink. It's a fun activity that
just never seems to lose its appeal. But if you are finding that
drinking booze has last its appeal for you, there is a (somewhat dangerous) solution: Don't drink your alcohol. Inhale it!
Let's Talk About Whatever You Want Right Now

it. It's Friday! Come chat with the Gizmodo crew about whatever the hell
your little heart desires.
Into The Amazon: What To Do When Attacked By A Poo Bat
In
part three of this series, Laurel actually gets into the Amazon, taking
a swim after a reported lack of caiman sightings. That was after
finding dozens of the world's most venomous spiders and prior to a close
encounter with ayahuasca.
Zipping from San Francisco to Oakland in 5 Minutes
Last
week I had two friends from the Bay Area over to my apartment in Los
Angeles. They recently moved to San Francisco from Oakland and I asked
how they liked their new digs. "We love it. But I wish there was a way
to get between Oakland and San Francisco easier."
Istanbul Is Demolishing 3 New Skyscrapers to Preserve Its Iconic Skyline
Behind the Blue Mosque in Istanbul rise three stumpy luxury apartment buildings, recently completed and sold—only to be ordered demolished. The ruling from Turkey's highest administrative court to tear down the skyscrapers to protect the city's iconic views is remarkable, if a bit ill-timed.
Meet the Company Google Just Bought To Design Its Future
Today, Google announced it's taking a big step into its future: By buying Gecko Design,
an 18-year-old product design and mechanical engineering studio, to be
part of Google X. What could Google want with a smaller engineering
company like Gecko? Its ability to build real-world products, that's
what.

New details have emerged on the stealthy fast attack craft from Juliet Marine known as the Ghost. This prototype is the only one of its kind (yet!). It looks—and runs—like something out of the next GI Joe flick, according to the folks at Bloomberg Businessweek who recently got a closer look. Eat your heart out,…
Panasonic Lumix GH4 Review: 4K For the Rest of Us
While
ultra high definition video—you know it better as 4K—has been making
steady inroads among the pro ranks for years, it hasn't yet hit with the
masses. The Panasonic Lumix GH4 wants to prove that the ability to
capture 4K video is something every shooter needs, whether they own an
85-inch 4K TV or not.
The Best Typeface Apple Ever Had
It was square, squat, and inherently cute. It was friendly. It was easy
to use. I'm talking about the beige box with the blue grinning face
that came to live with us in 1985. But I'm also talking about the font
that came with it.
