How to Turn your MacBook Into a Touch-Less iPad

This is quite ingenious: A program that turns your MacBook into a dual-screen iPad. Except one of the screens is broken. And the other one doesn’t have touch. OK, this program just rotates your screen when you rotate your MacBook. It’s called Mac Screen and it costs $5, which may be a lot because you…

Hard Drives Are Going to the Cloud Before They Die and Go to Hell

One day, the hard drive as we know it will be completely dead, replaced by local cache memory and storage on the internet. Until that time comes, however, you will have things like the new LaCie CloudBox. This hard drive gives you the usual local access to your data and automagically backs it up to…

Oh Look, There’s a Dead Cruise Ship In Google Maps

Sunday April 30, 2000 was not a good day for the World Discoverer, a cruise ship originally built in Germany, in 1974. At 4pm local time, she hit a rock that wasn’t in the Solomon Islands charts. It wasn’t pretty. But now it kind of is. The ship is still wrecked against one of the…

And the Best Nerdabolous Joke Ever Award Goes to… Switch Real Car for Life-Sized Lego Car!

Legoland California’s General Manager Peter Ronchetti has a Volvo XC60. At least until a couple days ago someone decided to use a lift fork to switch it to a life-sized, 2,934-pound Lego XC90 made of 201,076 bricks. I wish I had the money to pull this kind of jokes. I would replace the Fifth Avenue…

China Is Cloning This Entire European City

Not happy with cloning watches, iPods, trains and even combat airplanes, the Chinese are now cloning an entire European city. And not any city, but the mountain town of Hallstatt, Austria, a UNESCO World Heritage site. https://gizmodo.com/this-is-chinas-secret-stealth-strike-fighter-5719180 The Chinese will replicate absolutely everything, not only the buildings.

Ultra-Violent Videos Featuring Killer Drug-Smuggling Terrorist Kids Are Bloody Good

I wish I could have a button to turn an overlay manga track over all my reality. As this music video shows for Is Tropical, by The Greeks, it makes everything so much more fun. The use of animation to turn (not so) innocent child play into ultra-violent gore is worth of Tarantino. Perfect work…

One of the Most Stupid Kitchen Contraptions I’ve Ever Come Across

I Can’t Believe This Is How You Really Unload Stuff from Giant Trucks

Apparently, if you are carrying certain goods—like woodchip—in giant nine-wheeled trucks, this is how you unload them: Strap them to a gigantic platform. And then tilt them more than 45 degrees until it empties completely. Being a complete ignorant about logistics, this simple fact amazes me to no end. Not to talk about the photo.…

Only 50% iPhones Have Been Synced At Least Once

North Korea Getting Very Close to Nuclear Missile, Says South Korea

According to South Korea’s defense minister, North Korea may have created a nuclear warhead small enough to be launched in a missile. This is a first for those nutters, who had previously only detonated two nuclear devices that were too big for rockets. Today, a typical thermonuclear weapon weighs about 2,400 pounds (1,100 kg), and…
