What Is This?

When I first saw this abstract image, I thought I was looking at some weird crystals, or maybe some snowflakes under the microscope using polarized light. The answer was much more amazingerest and surprising than that. Developed at Sandia National Laboratories, the new cells are made of crystalline silicon, which means that they can produce…

Federal Aviation Administration Officially Says Who to Call After UFO Contact

Robert Bigelow is one of my personal heroes, a space man who can—and will—change the world because he believes so. Now, the FAA says that you should call one of his mysterious companies if you see an UFO.

Solar-Powered Cockroaches, I Will Smack You Too

Why people insist on creating things to freak the hell out of me? There’s only one thing I hate more than cockroaches, and that’s nazis. I’m sure the solar-powered $15 cockroach bot was created by the latter. [Gadget4all via Nerd Approved]

You Know You Want the Safe Sexting iPhone App

With all the sexting craze going on, and teens getting arrested left, right, and center on child pornography charges, I’m surprised the Safe Sexting iPhone application—which allows you to take and easily censor any photos—didn’t appear months ago. https://gizmodo.com/one-third-of-people-send-naked-pictures-of-themselves-u-5418476 It works easily: Just take a photo, apply a censorship patch out of a total of…

Mind Blowing Video of the Canon 1D Mark IV

We already saw some stunning night video of the Canon 1D Mark IV, but it’s nothing, nothing I tell you, compared to this mind blowing movie of a cold winter day in Prague.

Boeing 737 Splits in Two at Landing

Details are unclear at this time, but an American Airlines’ Boeing 737-800 plane split in two, overrunning the runway at Jamaica’s Norman Manley International Airport, in Kingston. One of the passengers’ description is frightening. The passenger declared that the landing seemed all normal. Everyone applauded when the Boeing touched down, after a very rough flight…

Next-Generation iPhone May Have 5-Megapixel Camera, Sources Claim

Digitimes’ patchy sources are claiming that OmniVision Technologies—the current manufacturers of the iPhone 3GS’ 3.2-megapixel CMOS image sensor—has won a new contract with Apple to provide the Cupertino company with new sensors for the next-generation 2010 iPhone.

The Ultimate “FAKE!” Internet Whining

It’s one of my pet peeves: Internet assclowns shouting “FAKE!” or “PHOTOSHOP!” while presented with any image that is unbelievably amazing. Like what is happening now with this stunning prize-winning photograph of a wolf jumping over a fence. The photo was taken by Spanish photographer José Luís Rodriguez, who won the British Natural History Museum’s…

I’m surprised nobody did this before: Here is the Nexus One compared to the iPhone, side by side. And if that wasn’t enough, check it compared to the HTC Hero: The bodies’ physical size is pretty much the same, but the screen in the Nexus One seems longer and thinner than the iPhone. More pics…

Art Lebedev calls this simple invention—a camera that takes images from the front of a truck to show it on screens in the back—Transparentius. I call it geeneeuzz. I don’t know why this drawing shows a tank at the front of the truck, but I guess that in Russia people drive T-90s like in the…
