Hey World, Meet The New Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080
Today’s the day. Reviews of Nvidia’s newest, greatest and most powerful graphics card, the GeForce GTX 1080, are about to hit the ‘net. But there’s also more to this card than its raw performance data. Here’s what’s going on under the hood of Nvidia’s big, bold attempt at cornering 4K and VR gaming in 2016.
Robot Chicken Is Bringing A Walking Dead Special To Un-Life
They have tackled Star Wars tons of times, and recently even the world of DC comics, but now Robot Chicken is turning its eyes towards The Walking Dead for a new themed special. I’m expecting a few jokes about a certain cliffhanger decision.
This Woodworking Wizard Turns A Single Block Of Wood Into A Chain
Video: This is a really neat woodworking project from Matthias Wandel: turning a single piece of wood into a chain just by using power tools. It takes very careful planning and specific carving to transform the block of wood into links on a chain, but Wandel shows us his entire process in detail. The end result is really fun, because you still can’t believe how he made that (even though you saw him make it).

El Niño Gives California Crabs
This year’s monster El Niño is truly a monster — it’s been blamed for killing coral reefs. Add another die-off to the list: Southern California beaches are blanketed in hundreds of thousands of tiny crabs. So many that it’s turning the beaches red.
Recently Declassified Photos Show The Birth Of The Soviet Space Program
Kapustin Yar (known today as Znamensk) is one of the Soviet Union’s first rocket launch and missile development sites. The test ground was established on 13 May 1946, and to mark its 70th anniversary Russia’s Defence Ministry has declassified revealing photographs of the site that offer a peak inside the top secret military complex.
See The World From A Container Ship In This Surprisingly Lovely Video
Video: Climbing aboard a container ship isn’t exactly the most glamorous way to travel, but when the footage is condensed into a time lapse — oh my, is it stunning. It’s especially neat to see the different layers of the sky dance overhead, but the coolest part is just being around all that blue. It really makes you feel the vastness of the world.
6 Things We Want From The Twin Peaks Revival
While the much-anticipated return of David Lynch’s ground-breaking, bizarre Twin Peaks is never far from our coffee-addled minds, it’s been looming even larger since the entire cast was revealed. What better time to binge-watch the original 30 episodes — and ponder what we’d like to see when episode 31 finally arrives next year?
Watch An Airbus A380 Abort A Landing While It's Incredibly Close To The Ground
Video: Here’s a British Airways Airbus A380 attempting to land at the Vancouver airport. You can see the world’s largest passenger aeroplane make its final approach and come so, so close to the ground — but then decide to abort and make a go-around instead. It’s incredibly impressive to see such a big plane make a manoeuvre like this.
Stick-On Lenses Turn Your Phone Camera Into A Microscope
Lens accessories for smartphones are by no means a new idea, but they’re often clunky, awkward to use, and far from something you’d want to try and squeeze into your pocket. These Blips lenses are a different story: They attach to your smartphone like a piece of tape, and are slim enough to carry alongside your credit cards.
Our Solar System Could Remain Habitable Long After Earth Is Destroyed
In a few billion years, the oceans will boil away and the atmosphere will burn up as our sun expands into a red giant. It will be game-over for life on Earth, but in the outer solar system, the party will just be getting started. Europa and Enceladus will melt into ocean moons, offering a refuge for any post humanoid life forms fleeing their lava-soaked homeland.
The Assassin's Creed Film Might Have Forgotten What Made Assassin's Creed Great
