Most Beautiful Items: March 9-15, 2013

We all lost an hour of sleep this week, but just that one hour is enough to put us in (what feels like an eternal) communal slump. And it certainly doesn’t help that spring, that dirty tease of a season, is still just around the corner. There is a respite, though, because this sleepy week…

The No-Nonsense Pocket Knife With a History to Match

The Swiss Army Knife might be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of military multi-tools, but don’t underestimate the lesser-know alternatives. Alternatives, for instance, like this stainless steel IXL British Army Knife, whose no-nonsense exterior belies a rich and fascinating history.

Enjoying a nice, refreshing Red Bull as your morning pick-me-up? Swallow now. Because apparently, your energy drink of choice has found itself the victim of some good, old-fashioned poop extortion.

In a new study that’s sure to make everyone’s world just a little darker, scientists have discovered that sex in space could lead to severe health problems and life-threatening illnesses—brain disease and cancer included.

Starbucks Typewriter Guy Is Here to Answer All Your Burning Questions

As you may remember, yesterday, we put up a post poking fun at this then-stranger who’d been photographed using a typewriter in Starbucks by one of his fellow students. Cries of rage soon followed from both sympathizers and opponents alike. This man’s typewriter and our mocking tone struck a chord. For some of you, a…

Google Has To Teach America How to Use Passwords as Part of Its Settlement

Remember a few years ago when Google got itself in that whole little Street-View-cars-collecting-personal-Wi-Fi-network-data debacle?

What It’s Like to Be a Chinese Military Hacker

All-black stealth suits, fingers flying across keyboards, screams of unintelligible jargon at Matrix-style lines of code.

FDR Gave His First Fireside Chat 80 Years Ago Today

Obama may seem like a hip man of the people what with his Google+ hangouts and his Reddit AMAs and his talking to the kids over the Twitters and whatnot, but he’s really just following in FDR’s trailblazing footsteps. Because on March 12, 1933, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt became the very first president to reach…

Look at This Idiot Using His Typewriter in a Starbucks

But…
