Brutally honest trailer shows how Godzilla was such a terrible movie
I really thought Godzilla
was going to be cool. I mean the the teaser had that sick HALO jump
scene and the cast had a post-Breaking Bad Bryan Cranston with an always
watchable Ken Watanabe and oh yeah, GODZILLA! There was no way they
were going to screw it up like they did in 1998. And yet, they did.

destroyed by fire in one of the most famous air accidents in history.
A Loop Musician Made This Perfect Loop Music Video
The
fun in live looping is all about hearing how a song is made—how a
series of bloops and beats and basses get layered into actual music.

"Anthem," Kawehi invites us to watch how a song is put together.
This Compact Portable Charger Revives Your Phone With Four AA Batteries
A
portable charger can bring your dead smartphone back to life if you
forget to plug it in overnight, but what if you forget to charge the

A Lightweight Cork Sofa Means You'll Never Hire a Mover Again
Beds
can be dismantled, legs can come off dining tables, and shelves can be
emptied, but that large sofa in your living room? That's not getting any
smaller or lighter for moving day. And all it takes is one time moving a
nightmarishly heavy sofa bed yourself to long for Lucie Koldova's alternative made from cork.

A Ballistic Sleeping Bag That Promises Protection From a Tornado
They
seem like a smart idea, but how many people do you really know with a
safe room in their house? Probably none, because they're expensive, and

tornados. So a Missouri-based inventor has come up with a cheaper way to
stay safe during a twister—an …
Everything Apple Announced Today
This is Apple's biggest year yet—the
line may sound trite, but at least this time, it actually holds some
weight. Because today, not only did Apple finally give in to a (way)
bigger iPhone, but after years of what's seemed like years of
will-they-or-won't-they, Apple has finally entered the smartwatch game. And at…
This Giant Russian Ship Is Toting Two Submarines
America's
isn't the only military to rely on heavy-lift transport vessels, the
unusual class of utility ship that helped ferry the crippled USS Cole
home for repairs. Russia has just released a series of photos
documenting the slow return trip to the Zvezdochka shipyard for a pair of its Akula II-class submarines, the
The Apple Watch's Smallest Parts Are Its Biggest Bet
The Mac had the mouse. The iPod had the clickwheel. And the iPhone had the touchscreen. So what does the Apple Watch
have? Something called the "digital crown," a tiny knob replacing the
conventional crown on traditional watches, and a "Taptic engine" that
helps it communicate. They didn't get the most play in today's…

A Clever Front-Loading Picture Frame Makes Swapping Artwork Easy
Have
you ever spent a few maddening hours trying to get a photo perfectly
centered behind a matboard in a frame? It's made all the more difficult

of the frame. So why has it taken this long for someone to come up with
a picture frame that easily…
A Memoriam for Giant Fingers, the Nostalgic Scourge of Analog Photos
Before
digital cameras made it easy to snap a ton of photos to get the one
that's just right, there was a ubiquitous analog menace lurking in front
of our collective lenses: our fingers. Attack of the Giant Fingers is a new book that pays tribute to those pesky shot-blockers that only ever revealed themselves once the…

All across America, drones are crashing into trees and rooftops. The
$500-plus dollar skytoys are frequently flying away from their owners,
landing in lakes and marshes and urban neighborhoods, never to be found
again. Lost drone posters line residential neighborhoods like the

iPhone 6 Hands On: Getting Up to Size
I
hate to be the person to break this to you, but the iPhone 5S in your
pocket or purse is tiny. It's so small by today's smartphone standards
