How Guardians of the Galaxy should have ended
Guardians
of the Galaxy was one of the best movies of the year and probably one
of the funnest movies I've seen in a long while but it also had its fair
share of logic gaps that were glossed over. HISHE hilarious fixed the movie by changing some scenes in the movie so it all makes sense. Spoiler alert: the bad guys…
Climbers escape iceberg as it starts to collapse
Impressive
video of professional ice climbers Klemen Premrl and Aljaz Anderle
climbing icebergs in Greenland's Disko Bay. Or, better said, trying to
climb: They were very fragile and one started to collapse as they were
going up.
Short film: What you need to know about vaping and e-cigarettes
Vaping
and e-cigarettes are everywhere these days. More and more people are
carrying around those cylindrical metal flutes and blowing out giant
cloud puffs that it all seems so common. But because the industry is so
new, no one really knows what's going to happen. The New Yorker made this short doc to find out.
Escape the Cold By Watching 12 Angry Men
It's
freezing. Literally everywhere. So let's watch something where it's the
opposite. On the hottest day of the year in New York City, Sydney
Lumet's 12 Angry Men are just walking into the deliberation
room to pass verdict on a murder trial. All but one of the 12 believe
the defendant is guilty.
How Magic Leap Is Secretly Creating a New Alternate Reality
Don't you hate it when someone claims to
have a magical new technology, but won't tell you how it works? When I
saw that a super stealthy startup called Magic Leap had raised $542 million to make animals appear out of thin air, I resolved to find out exactly what was going on. Here's what I found.

Designer David McCandless
gathered some data about dog breeds and made this matrix mapping dog
breeds according to factors like popularity, intelligence, longevity, or
cost. Poor bulldog.
Giorgio Moroder: 74 Is the New 24
Although there are large swaths of America which may only know his name as a track on a Daft Punk album, Giorgio Moroder is so very much more. The name and first song from his new album 74 Is the New 24 hints at that a bit, with a nod to his age (yep, 74) and boundless career.
Cool photos of F-22s and F-35s flying together for the first time
Behold
the F-22 Raptor (top two) and F-35 Lightning II (bottom two) flying
together for the first time in history. Arguably the two most
technologically advanced military jets in the world, the Lt. Col. Matt
Renbarger—commander of the 58th Fighter Squadron—says they mix together
like peanut butter and jelly:
The Defective Tech That Killed the iPhone's Sapphire Screens
The saga of Apple's disappearing sapphire screens seems to have finally offered some concrete answers. According
to a recent article by the Wall Street Journal, the screens' supplier,
GT Advanced Technologies, wasn't just mismanaged—the product they were putting out was pretty much unusable.
Oh Hey, Ikea Bought Another Giant Wind Farm
Back in March, we learned Ikea had purchased an Illinois wind farm big enough to power all its US stores. Well, that was small potatoes. Today the company announced its largest investment in renewables ever: The acquisition of a much larger wind farm in Texas.
Batman vs. Superman stop-motion raises the bar on Lego animation
Tommy Williamson from BrickNerd has shared this funny stop-motion video of the epic
battle between Batman and Superman. The background sets are incredibly
good and the animation is so clever that it looks like CGI but it isn't.
This thing had to take a bunch of time to produce so, go enjoy it and
share accordingly.
This Is What Looking Down at Your Cell Phone Does to Your Spine
Our
cell phones and tablets have transformed the way we hold our bodies—and
not for the better. Looking down at your device is like having a
60-pound weight on your neck, according to a spine surgeon.
This Kid-Proof Outlet Wouldn't Power Up Until You Plug Something In
Any household with small roaming humans inevitably has to block its
electrical sockets from tiny probing fingers. But most of the childproof
measures out there—plastic plugs, sliding faceplates—can still be
impregnated by determined hands. This outlet prototype wouldn't supply
any electricity to its sockets until a…
DARPA Director Totally Cool With Google Taking All the Fun Toys
In an interview this afternoon at the Defense One Summit,
DARPA director Arati Prabhakar explained the history and future of the
agency. And Prabhakar wants it known that Google and other commercial
enterprises are not their enemy. In fact, they're more important that
ever to DARPA's national security goals, as…
Why App Store Apps Now Say "Get" Instead of "Free"
Peruse
the digital wares of the OSX or iOS stores, and you might notice a
peculiar change: All of the apps previously labeled as "free" now say
"get." It's a pretty small change that has no real impact on us users.
"Get" apps are still free, and the apps themselves haven't changed
either. "Get" is just a more accurate…
Xbox One Review Update: One Year Later

Recreate Raiders' Goriest Scene With a Melting Nazi Candle
Die-hard fans of Raiders of the Lost Ark
will finally be able to recreate what is certainly the most unsettling
scene in the movie, and one of the creepiest uses of practical effects

gelatin, this Major Toht candle is of course made of wax—so it…

DOJ Says iPhone Encryption Will Kill a Child, Which, C'mon Man
Here we go again. Just a few days after a former FBI agent argued that the new iOS 8 encryption would cause somebody to die, a Department of Justice boss upped the ante. At a meeting on October 1, Deputy Attorney General James Cole told a room full off Apple executives that iPhone encryption would cause a child to…
These Gloves Let You Climb a Glass Wall Like a Goddamn Gecko
Geckos
are, objectively, way better at climbing stuff than people. Our big
sweaty meathooks are no match for the wall-scaling optimized toe pads of
a small lizard. That's why a team at Stanford University is busy making gloves that simulate the sticky grip of the gecko.
Quirky's Ohm Bluetooth Speaker Charges Wirelessly So It's Always Ready
Portable
Bluetooth speakers are awesome and convenient until, inevitably, you
want to take yours somewhere and it's out of batteries. This new speaker

wirelessly.
