This Is What a Drive-By Bombing Looks Like
Or rather, what it would look like: Lockheed Martin's Scorpion glide bombs, seen here floating toward their targets mesmerizing slow-mo from the bay of a high-speed ground sled, will drop from the skies, not the carpool lane. More » -

Wi-Fi Thief Causes Bomb Scare With a Tape-Covered Router
A resourceful Pennsylvania man waterproofed his router using a box and tape before sticking it onto his windowsill to use a nearby library's wi-fi. Too bad that he taped the gadget up so well that it looked like a bomb. More » -

Our Century of Fallout: Every Nuclear Detonation, Mapped
Everyone's got a notion of how the last century went, in terms of nuclear explosions. There was Hiroshima, then Nagasaki. There were some nuclear tests out in the desert, and the ocean. But would you believe there've been over 2000? More » -

The True, Heartbreaking Faces of the Nuclear Era
Sometimes I write about high-tech weapons. There's something fascinating about the technological terror that humans have been developing to obliterate each other for centuries, so it's easy to forget about the real consequences of this mad race. [EXPLICIT IMAGES AHEAD]

How a Soviet Doomsday Master Missile Looks and Works
Yesterday we learnt that the Soviets still have a working doomsday system in place. This is an SS-17 ICBM master missile, which are launched first. Once they are in the skies, they activate the launch for all the Russian nukes. More » -

Get Nervous: Rusty Soviet Doomsday System Still Turned On
Wired Magazine has a fascinating article on the doomsday system that was built by the Soviets 25 years ago. It was designed to obliterate the US no matter what happened to the USSR—and it still works today. Shiver. More » -

The Bomb Vase is a Hippie's Secret Weapon
As a statement against war, these Peaceful Bomb Vases were created to hold flowers instead of violence. As someone with an irrational fear for potted plants, it makes me want to hide. [LikeCool via geekologie] -

93-Year-Old Japanese Man Certified as Double A-Bomb Victim
You have some lousy luck if you're near the site of an A-bomb strike. You have really, really bad luck if, three days later, you get hit with another nuke. More » -

The Fancy Security Gear the FBI Busted Out for the Inauguration
An event like the inauguration is a great excuse for the FBI to roll out all of its super-expensive security gear, like a truck you can explode a live bomb in without hurting anyone. More » -

How Each Nuclear-Capable Country Got Its Bombs, Visualized
As the NY Times point out in their review of two upcoming histories of The Bomb, Robbert Oppenheimer originally assumed that little could stop anyone from developing nuclear weapons. Thankfully, he was wrong. More » -

Low Cost Robot On Wheels Can Spy Baddies, Paint Them to Death
ROMP—or Remotely Operated Mobile Platform—is a poor man's version of an iRobot battlefield bot. Instead of fancy tracks and miniaturized sensors, these ROMPs seem more like sophisticated all-terrain RC cars rigged with consumer cameras. Until you meet the older brother, of course, the weaponized WROMP with its big gun on top. In the words of its creator, Chris Rogers: More » -

Eco-Friendly Bombs Ensure No Smog Results from The Destruction of Your Ancestral Village
I have a problem I'm sure you're all familiar with: eco guilt. Whenever I'm about to drop a gigantic bomb on say, a small village, I get to thinking about the impact of the bomb on the environment.
