Police Now Tweeting Name, Address and Birthday of British Looters

The Greater Manchester Police is now tweeting names, birthdays and address of looters. While this information is public in England and it gets printed in papers, this is the first time Twitter is being used to broadcast this info. Perhaps the police is doing it to let people know they are doing something. Publicly humiliating…

Benjamin Bachmeier turned a 40-inch LCD Full HD display into a perfect giant iPhone replica. It doesn’t run iOS but Mac OS X, but it’s gigantic buttons are fully functional.

Hey, Los Angeles—You Are So Beautiful

Colin Rich has captured LA at night like you have never seen it before. The video, which you must see in HD and full screen, is so exquisitely perfect it gives me sensory overload.

Crazy Dude Uses Backhoe to Play With Crazy People In Swimming Pool

I don’t know who’s crazier. The madman operating the backhoe, the dudes hanging off the backhoe, the insensate kids’ parents, or the fearless kids themselves. Probably all of them. Perhaps this is a national pastime in Hungary’s countryside. I sure wish it were in Spain. [The Daily What]

Air Force’s Experimental Hypersonic Aircraft Disappears Again

I don’t know what the hell is going on with the Falcon Hypersonic Test Vehicle 2, but the Air Force just lost it again.

You Need to Have Time Shifting Powers to Watch This Sculpture Move

This is one of the weirdest public art projects I’ve ever seen: A sculpture that moves but it’s actually static to the naked eye. Only if you record it on a time-lapse video you would be able to appreciate its motion. Its name is Möbius and it was made by art and design firm Eness…

The people at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center have built a really nice tour of their facilities and all the stuff they do there. Being a space nerd, I find their videos and information fascinating.

This is the Spire Boat, a Batman-esque racing speed boat that will be presented at the Monaco Yacht Show in September. I’m sure Bruce Wayne will buy one. I wish I had the money to buy one. And a cape. Created by Thierry Mugler Studio, there are already 26 orders already from people who have…

Someone Actually Made Plans to Send Pigs to Space

Apparently some mad engineers called G.C. Johnson and J.W. Wilkey actually thought of sending pigs to space instead of monkeys or dogs. It was 1963. Imagine that. PIGS IN SPACE. It actually makes sense, since pigs share quite a few common physical points with humans. Pig’s organs and layer structure under the skin are very…

Smart Phone Note iPhone 4 Case Is Actually Quite Smart

It’s too bad they aren’t selling this Smart Phone Note case for iPhone 4 outside South Korea, because it’s an excellent idea—especially if you’re into the whole taking-notes-on-paper thing.

Could Apple Be the World’s Most Valuable Company Without Steve Jobs?

Fanboys are breathless from so much wanking today, paralyzed by genital turgidity because Apple briefly surpassed ExxonMobil as the most valued company in the stock market. Right now, Exxon is still number one at 352.9 billion compared to Apple’s 346.74 billion. But even if Apple’s stock market capitalization were actually higher than Exxon’s, would it…
