Burger King's all-black burger looks absolutely disgusting in real life
To no one's surprise, Burger King's all black burger
looks like a disgusting turd in real life. Actually, it might be even
worse than some turds. It looks like it tastes like ash. It looks like
it's made from burnt cardboard. It looks like it'll bring death to
anyone who dare eats it.
This Is the Best Movie for Food Porn
Before
Ang Li made big blockbuster movies with CGI tigers and swordsmen flying
on wires, he made small family dramas, the most mouthwatering of which
is Eat Drink Man Woman.
Amazing video of people dancing on the wall of a building
This
is Amelia Rudolph and Roel Seeker suspended on the wall of Oakland's
City Hall, dancing like some kind of fairies or angels. The effect of
them moving over the building's façade as it if were the ground is
disoriented but really beautiful. I can watch them doing this forever.
The Internet's Ode to Music from Saharan Cellphones
Constant
access to Wi-Fi and LTE make it supremely easy for us to swap songs
with each other. More often than that, we swap URLs. In parts of Saharan
Africa where service is scarce, Bluetooth does the trick—which means
that a booming culture of peer-to-peer MP3 sharing has sprung up,
contained on the memory cards…

This is the weirdest and most beautiful time lapse I've ever seen
This is not your usual eye-candy time lapse of a gorgeous landscape. This one—created by Jeff Frost—is
different. Speaks directly to the feelings. It's sometimes creepy,
violent, and weird. And others stunning, beautiful, and relaxing. The
same type of contrasts you find in real life. That's why I like it so
much.
Judge: Yes, You Can Serve Legal Papers Over Facebook
It
used to be that, when you wanted to slap someone with a lawsuit, you'd
have to hunt them down the old-fashioned way—on foot, just like mom used
to do. But now, a Family Court official has ruled for the very first
time in the United States (it's already common practice in Europe) that yes, you can indeed serve legal…

iPhone's design is famous for meticulous attention to detail, and over

GadgetLove captures how the phone's hardware has changed over the years.
NASA Is Blasting the First 3D Printer Into Space Tonight
A few minutes after 2 AM tonight, a SpaceX Dragon commercial cargo craft will lift off from
Cape Canaveral in Florida carrying something that's never been taken
into space: A 3D printer. When it docks with the ISS, it will deliver
the first machine capable of making things in orbit—a huge step forward
for exploration.
This Mysterious NYC Castle Was Actually America's First Cancer Hospital
On
the southwest corner of Central Park West and 106th Street in New York
City, there's an enormous castle. It takes up the whole east end of the
block, with its red brick cylindrical turrets topped with gleaming
silver cones. The stained glass windows and intricate stonework make the
building look like something out…
Prepare for the Postseason With a Cocktail From Baseball's Heyday
The start of this year's Major League Baseball playoff season is just a
couple of weeks away. That means sweater weather, shattered dreams, and
if you're lucky, some really exciting games. It's also a great time to
read up on baseball history—ideally with a cocktail in hand.
Finally, a Pair of Waterproof Chucks That'll Survive a Soaking
Converse's
All Star Chucks have such an iconic design that they can even be paired
with a formal suit without fashion critics batting an eye.
Unfortunately they're mostly designed for casual wear, nothing
adventurous, but that's why Converse is releasing a couple of limited edition pairs that have been upgraded with…
Let's Talk About Whatever You Want Right Now
Well,
congratulations: If you've read this far it would appear that you made
it through this week relatively unscathed—unless, of course you're
reading this in a long line somewhere, in which case, be sure to stay supple and hydrated on the inside, but keep your actual hands dry.

How to Pull Off the Most Complex Taxidermy of All Time
Yesterday the American Museum of Natural History took the wraps off its newest main attraction: Lonesome George. Lonesome
George, the world-famous giant tortoise native to the Galapagos. He
passed on in 2012 of natural causes. This set in motion the process to
preserve George through the most complex and intricate…
The F-35′s X-Ray Vision Is The Future Of Naval (And All Other) Warfare
One of the most 'popular' features on the controversial F-35 is the jet's Distributed Aperture System (DAS).
DAS creates an all-seeing sphere and classifies and relays data and
video to the pilot's helmet and to the jet's mission computers. This
game-changing system has now been adapted for the high seas, and it
won't…
What It Takes to Build the Largest Particle Collider Ever Made
The
Large Hadron Collider is an enormous feat of engineering: A 17-mile
tunnel packed with fragile scientific instruments that took 25 years to
imagine and 10 to construct. But now, scientists at CERN have chosen an
engineering firm to build its successor—a collider that will be triple the size of the LHC.

You've
got yourself an iPhone and you want to play some games on it. You might
not want to just plunge into the App Store. It's a jungle, and it is
full of bad games. Here, Let us help you.
I Traveled to Hawaii and London in This Weird VR Holodeck
Virtuality is still stuck in an awkward liminal stage. Sony introduced Morpheus, Samsung's $200 Gear VR is just around the corner, and the Oculus Rift continues to showcase the best the platform has to offer. But it's a technology not easily accessible. Instead, it's still relegated to strange demos and experimental…
In The Boxtrolls, 3D Printing Makes Stop Motion Animation Look Magical
The Boxtrolls takes
you into a beautiful bright Dickensian world where cheese means status
and box-clad trolls are at the bottom of society. It's the biggest stop
motion production ever, and it would've been impossible a few years ago.
But the creators of the film took a 75-year-old technique and
introduced a whole…
