Cool trick billiards shots are even cooler from the cue's perspective
Do not ever challenge Ziemowit Janaszek to a game of pool. This man can handle his cue and balls alright, and the trick shots he pulls off are all kinds of incredible. Even better? He strapped a GoPro to his rod for an entirely new perspective.
Star Wars last scene without the music is impossibly hilarious
I always thought the final scene of the original Star Wars
was one of the most ridiculous things ever* but, without the music
soundtrack and with added ambient sound, it turns into one of the most
cringeworthy scenes in the history of cinema. It's just ridiculous.
Long-Lost Recordings From the Remote Parts of the World
In the mid-1980s, a documentarian named David
Blair Stiffler traveled to the most remote parts of the Philippines to
capture a series of field recordings—a fairly straightforward task made
considerably more complicated by kidnapping at gunpoint and subsequent
captivity.

Scientists Made a Soft Exoskeleton That You Put On Like Pants
Exoskeletons that give you superhuman strength
sound incredibly awesome but also look incredibly awkward and bulky and
uncomfortable. So what about a soft exoskeleton that you wear like a
pair of pants?
This Could Be Windows 9's New Virtual Desktops in Action
Earlier today we got a taste of what appears to be Windows 9's new Start Menu in action. Now a leak by the German site WinFuture.de (which has been leaking things left and right) shows rumored Virtual Desktops doing their thing.
This Revolving Ring Keeps Your Keys and Saves Your Fingernails
Nothing Apple announced on Tuesday
has as much life-changing potential as this revolving keyring does.
It's apparently based on a clever design from the late 1800s that was
either lost to time, or confiscated by aliens to slow mankind's
progress. Either way, it's back, and ready to save your fingernails every time you…
Let's Talk About Whatever You Want Right Now
Welcome to Friday, friends. The week has wound down, Apple's announced a new slew of shiny toys/things to get angry about depending on where your loyalties lie, and all that's left is to go home and enjoy the final death rattles of summer.
GrowlTap Review: Keep Craft Beers From the Brewery Fresh at Home
I'm
not sure where this should fall on the spectrum of pride to shame, but
it has been years since I've tapped a keg. Raging house parties aren't
quite as frequent in the years after college, but drinking delicious
beer at home for a little take-the-edge-off tipsy pleasure remains a
pastime for, well—a lot of us.
Toyota's New Transit Idea Is Like a Bikeshare for Tiny Electric Cars
Small,
weird-looking smartcars are nothing new; there are plenty of them on
the road, especially in cities where space is at a premium. But Toyota
has launched something that makes great use of its zippy 3-wheeled i-Road vehicles: a new car-sharing service that integrates with a city's existing transit system.
Delivery Man vs. Machine: A Fight for the Future of Laundry
I
hate doing laundry. I hate stuffing the musky-smelling threads into a
machine. I hate pouring in the soap. I hate folding it, when it's done. I
hate the whole dance. So when I heard about two major innovations in
the laundry-doing arena, I got excited—perhaps a little too excited.
How to Get Next-Level Cryptography With a Crappy Old Nokia Phone
Remember the Nokia N9?
Probably not—but geek points if you do—because it was a smartphone that
was DOA and used by pretty much no one. But even a three-year-old
smartphone is pretty sophisticated piece of machinery. Using just an N9
and light, physicists have found a way to generate the random numbers algorithms used…
"Carrots improve your vision" is a WWII lie
Parents
have been firing carrots into their kids' mouths for 70-plus years on
the concept that "they give you better vision!" Truth is, while carrots
are super-healthy, they won't do a thing to bring you back to 20/20.
It's a myth, invented in WWII England to confuse the Nazis.
The designer of the Nike swoosh was originally paid $35
In 1971, Carolyn Davidson was a design student at Portland State
University. This is where Phil Knight, one of the founders of Nike and
an assistant professor at PSU, struck up a conversation with her and
asked Davidson to come up with some logo designs for his new sportswear
company. Davidson designed the swoosh,…
Peak Design Slide Review: One Strap For All Your Cameras
Peak
Design's Slide is a camera strap that tries to rise above the glut of
cheap, frustrating tethers that come bundled with your camera. How does
it do that? It uses a combination of seductive materials, quick

lets you quickly switch between…
Test Your Endurance on This Ikea Showroom-Turned-Climbing Wall
Lots of us spend a lot of time lounging, sleeping, eating—heck, living
out of and off of Ikea furniture. In order to promote a new superstore
coming to Clermont-Ferrand in the middle of France, the company
installed a fully functional climbing wall of inexpensive modern
furniture outside of a cathedral. Spiderman's…
Riding The World's Best Downhill Bike Park

you're ready to have a go at downhill mountain biking. We'll walk you

15 Old Gadgets That Live On In Our Hearts
All
types of different gadgets enter and leave our lives. Some stay for
years and are cherished well past their prime. Others we lose, whether
sold off in our youthful ignorance or lost in some other equally tragic
way.
You Can Apply This Better Band-Aid With Just One Hand
As
useful as Band-Aids might be for a quick fix, they're rarely easy to
apply to your arms or other areas inaccessible to both your hands. And
even when both hands are free, the sticky ends of a Band-Aid often end up stuck together if you're not careful. To remedy this, designer Pei-Chih Deng has created the…
