Neil DeGrasse Tyson Is Spooked By Aussie Power Points
Briefly: As it turns out, Dr Neil DeGrasse Tyson is scared of more than just aliens studying us, he’s scared of the power-points in Australia. What?
You Can Pay Nearly $13,000 To Attach An Apple Watch To An Even Fancier Watch
Here’s an innovation so impractical, uncomfortable and expensive that I can’t stop looking at it. Of course the world has produced a luxury Swiss timepiece that has space on its band for an Apple Watch. It’s a goofy two-faced hybrid watch that packs a gloriously unnecessary double-whammy of bling into a single object.
A Toaster That Charges Your Phones And Keeps Cables Hidden Away
Most multi-device charging solutions are kind of an eyesore, but we’re all used to seeing a toaster sitting on a kitchen counter, right? That’s the theory behind the Foaster which camouflages a charging dock as a household appliance.
The World's Biggest Free Form 3D Printer Is Being Used To Build Houses
The dream of 3D printing buildings is not a new one and, typically, it’s not a pretty one either. However, the visionaries at Branch Technology, a startup founded by architects in Chattanooga, Tennessee, want to change that — and they have built the world’s largest free form 3D printer to do it.

There’s no reason to feel upset when you see R2-D2 forced to do menial jobs — that’s exactly what droids were built for. Believe it or not, he will thoroughly enjoy his latest role as a tiny $US24 vacuum for your desk, and happily suck up your bagel and Doritos crumbs.

Taser International, the company best known for its namesake product, announced last week that its profits were up 57 per cent over the previous quarter. But it’s not because tasers are flying off the shelves. That huge bump in profits is coming from sales of body cameras to America’s police departments.
Seeing A M1128 Stryker Fire Its Cannon Makes My Spine Freeze
It’s not even the blast from the cannon of the M1128 Stryker that scares me the most (though it is a very impressive blast). It’s the fact that right after the 105mm cannon goes boom, the world around it looks post-apocalyptic. The ground shakes so hard from the gun that it looks like lost souls are being released from hell.
Robotic Rhythmic Gymnastics Should Be An Olympic Sport
If you thought the debate over giving robots weapons was heated, the day is coming when we’ll also have to decide if we’re cool with them competing against us at sports. If this rhythmic gymnastics bot is any indication, there may never again be a human on the Olympic podium if that happens.
