Get 70% Off 3 Years Of Unlimited Network Protection from VPN – $19
Running a VPN (Virtual Private Network) on your devices ensures that you're securely connected, protects your data, and allows you to access region-blocked content. For a little while, Gizmodo readers can get 70% off 3 years of VPN Unlimited's Premier Plan. That's 50 cents/month for peace of mind online – not bad.
Celebrate Hockey (and Canada!) With Goon
This
weekend marks two significant events: the start of the regular NHL
season, and Canadian Thanksgiving (OK, so we're using a loose definition
of 'significant' here). You can neatly celebrate both of these two
occasions by watching Goon, which is 92 minutes of watching an American punch Canadian people in the face…
Radical Face: Always Gold
Last week, I went to watch the incredible Valley Uprising
documentary, which is an epic two-hour runthrough of the evolution of
climbing in Yosemite Valley. In addition to lycra-clad hippies making a
fortune off a downed drug-smuggling airliner (no, seriously), it also reminded me of the existence of Radical Face's…
These Concepts Show What Apple Watch Apps Will Look Like
The
Apple Watch won't be released onto our unsuspecting wrists until early
next year, but developers are obviously already hard at work writing
apps for the tiny screen. A group of designers have put together some
ideas for what popular apps might look like when they land.
Report: Apple Pay To Launch One Week From Now
According to a leaked Walgreens memo seen by MacRumors,
Apple Pay will go live for the pharmaceutical giant on October 18th.
Given that Walgreens was listed as an Apple Pay launch partner, that
could well mean that Apple Pay will go live nationwide in just seven
days time.
Save 65% on 1 Year of HostGator Web Hosting + Free Domain Name ($28)
HostGator, one of Lifehacker's favorite hosting companies, is offering one year of their Hatchling Plan for $28 - including a free domain name. That saves you over 65% and comes out to just $2.33/month.
Plan Your Leaf-Watching With This Lovely Fall Foliage Map
It's
the time of year where people go out into rural America seeking swollen
gourds and fermented apple juice all in the name of Fall Fun™. And
because timing is everything when it comes to these things, this beautiful fall foliage forecast map will aid you in your important quest to see the most chlorophyll-free…
This Minature Hand-Powered Espresso Machine Takes Caffeine Everywhere
As
addictive mind-altering substances go, coffee is actually pretty hard
to hit up on the move. If you're out of range of a Starbucks, getting a
hot, caffeine-rich epsresso generally requires a 20-pound machine and
mains electricity, which is exactly the first-world problem this dinky
espresso machine exists to tackle.
Flight Attendants: The New Personal Electronics Rules Suck
The rest of us might be celebrating that we can finally keep playing Candy Crush during takeoff or landing,
but flight attendants don't seem to be too happy about the new
regulations: the biggest union for flight attendants is suing the FAA to
change the rules back.
The NSA's least-favorite person, Mr Snowden himself, is doing a live video interview with the New Yorker
as we speak. If you want to see how a year in Russia has treated the
whistleblower, or you want to hear his opinions on the most recent
leaks, it's worth hopping over.
Watch This BASE Jumper Parachute Into a Rooftop Pool
I
can't really think of a classier way to enter a party than to BASE jump
off the 1,200-foot Kuala Lumpur tower, and then land in a rooftop
swimming pool — assuming, of course, that he's got a Bond-approved tux under his skydiving outfit.
5 Water Saving Bathroom Devices You Can Install Yourself
California remains in a deep drought, and this winter's expected precipitation levels
aren't expected to be much more than a than a drop in the bucket, so to
speak, for the state's parched aquifers. That means it's the
responsibility of every citizen to conserve as much water as possible in
this time of need. But that…
How Big is Too Big (When It Comes to Smartphones)?
I've
long maintained that any phone with a screen size over 4.2 inches is
stupid and pointless, and then promptly went out and got an iPhone 6. It
seems, though, that everyone's acceptance of what the maximum screen
size is varies pretty massively.
More iPad Leaks Show Off TouchID and Gold Bling
We're less than a week away from
a new iPad (probably!), which means the leaks are coming thick and
fast. Today, we've got alleged photos of a gold-colored TouchID sensor
that's supposedly destined for Apple's next tablet, in addition to some
silicon-porn of the new iPad's motherboard.
According to a report from The Daily Dot, a fairly long list of big-name retailers — including supposedly high-tech stores like Best Buy — won't be supporting Apple Pay
at launch. Although this isn't all that surprising, given that
supporting Apple Pay will generally require upgrading a store's payment
terminals, it's…
Beautiful long exposure photo of the lunar eclipse rising over China
NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day is featuring this long exposure photo of the lunar eclipse rising over the city of Chongqing, China, captured by photographer Zhou Yannan on October 8. The zooming tail effect as the Moon went out of the eclipse is fantastic.
I wish I could Iive 200 more years to see a scene like this
I like Johnson Ting's
vision of Neo Japan 2202, wherever his Neo Japan is located to have two
moons (or maybe one is no moon but some space station, I don't know.)
Every time I see illustrations like this I long for immortality. Or at
least a couple hundred years in good health so I can see some stuff like
this.
Photos of regular soldiers transformed into cool futuristic warriors
Johnson Ting creates these amazing images by painting new layers on top of existing photographic material using a Wacom
Intuos Pro tablet and Photoshop. The results sometimes end being
completely different from the original, and they are always impressive.
First look at the new Guardians of the Galaxy animated TV series
This
is great news, just announced this Friday at New York Comic Con: Marvel
is releasing a Guardians of the Galaxy animated TV series coming in
2015 on Disney XD! Check out the first sequences of how it is going to
look here (I like that colorful 80s look!)
This is what the Instagram feed of a Disney character looks like
If Disney characters were real people
they would probably have an Instagram, Facebook or Snapchat account
where they post their selfies. Or at least this is what Italian
Illustrator Simona Bonafini thought when she decided to make this neat collection of drawings.
I'll never get tired of breathtaking flyby videos of Earth from space
I
can't even begin to imagine how incredible it must be to be an
astronaut and see Earth from space like this. It can't ever get old,
right? I mean, I'm amazed every time I see one of these flyby videos and
I'm just watching on YouTube.
This mantis eating a fly alive is so damn gross—but I can't stop looking
[To the Rolling Stones' I Miss You] Look that mantis eat a fly/ You'll never she her cry/ Lord I hate you. Mother Nature she's the Ma'am/ She just doesn't give a damn/ She will kill you.
