Never Before Seen Image of Neil Armstrong’s First Moonwalk Shows His face

At last, Neil Armstrong will be able to wear his “Been There, Done That” t-shirt with pride. After all, we never saw his face through the solar visor in any of the lunar walk photos. Until today. This weird and never-before-seen photo was taken by the top camera of the Eagle. As Armstrong walked his…

Giant Flowers Give You Free Power, Wi-Fi, Make You Feel Like Alice In Wonderland

Toyota is planting giant 18-feet Solar Flowers all across major cities in the United States. It’s all a Prius marketing campaign, but as long as they give me free power and Wi-Fi, I’m game. I don’t know if they are going to retire the daisies when the campaign is over, but I hope they don’t.…

Idiots Want Robots to Draw Ads On the Moon’s Surface

A company wants to “license a technology” to draw advertisements on the Moon’s surface, which according to them could be watched from Earth. If nobody shuts them down, I’ll be there at the launch. With my land-to-air rocket launcher ready. I thought this was a joke, but apparently this deranged people are serious enough about…

1979: The Golden Age of Lego

1979 was the beginning of Lego as we know it today, the year when they took over the world, the year of the Galaxy Explorer. I photographed all the classic sets in my Lego trip. Here’s the never-released gallery: The Lego bricks were invented a lot earlier, but 1979 was the year of Legoland Space,…

How Modern Processors Are Made

I knew that processors—like castles—are made of sand. But I didn’t know they required stuff like ion implantation at more than 185,000mph, electroplating, and the creation of up to 20 metal layers of transistor connections in 500nm. Thankfully, Intel has put together a slide show to tell how the little things are made, from sand…

Blastabulous Video of the World’s Largest Saturn V Model Launch

We covered the 36-foot Saturn V model launch back in April, but that video was pretty bad. This one—clear as restored Moon landing footage—is thrilling, specially for its deafening noise. Yet another way to celebrate Apollo 11. https://gizmodo.com/shots-of-the-36-foot-saturn-v-model-launch-thats-a-big-5227636

Full-Size Gundam Get Attacked by Laser During Inaugural Ceremony

I am not a full-size Gundam in Tokyo—although I want to be one when I grow up—but if I were attacked with greeeeeen lasers during my inauguration ceremony, I would get pretty damn pissed off. Then I would destroy everything in sight, and go to have a carrot cake and coffee afterwards. [Mainichi Daily News]

Man Sues Apple for Conspiring With the Mafia to Track Him Using His iPod

A Californian man has sued Apple, accusing the company of conspiring with the Italian Mafia to track him down using his iPod. He says they also inserted the word “herpes” into Mike Jones “Still Tippin” (video NSFW). Sounds reasonable: The recording of death threats and other evidence, prove that APPLE INC. conspired with the Mafia…

$799 Batman’s Black iMac Is Damn Cool Until You Turn It Around

If you think that aluminum is the new beige, gliding capes are the smartest complement for a cocktail party, and batarangs are the best way to fight crime, then the Averatec 22-inch D1005 all-in-one should probably be your new PC. Until you turn it around, that is. But for $799, you will get: • 2.5GHz…

First New Images of the Apollo Landing Sites in 40 Years

At last! NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter has sent photos of the Apollo lunar landing sites, the first images ever since the Apollo missions.

NASA Grounds Shuttle Fleet

NASA has grounded the shuttle fleet after several pieces of insulating foam fell from the fuel tank during launch.

These Window Blinds Are Better than Most Views

I like this idea very much: Instead of normal blinds to hide horrible views—and make horrible interiors—use one of these Better Views roller blinds. You can get night cityscapes showing Paris, Tokyo, Helsinki, and Stockholm. Unfortunately, the 100% black polyester perforated roller blinds are limited to 1,000 units each, at $475 each. A great idea…

I like to take photos at night without a flash. With an iPhone. After too many Caipirinhas. Shaky and blurry, but they beat the flash look any day.

When Airplane Stewardesses Were All Glamour and Sex Appeal

I just returned to NYC from Madrid. I slept all the way here, so I barely noticed the cramped seats, the bad food, the terrible movie, and the bad uniforms of the stewardesses. Back in 1979, I would have noticed. Yes, back in 1979 I flew to Sweden in SAS, and I still can remember…

This EVGA InterView 1770 Twisting Dual Monitor Is Damn Weird

The EVGA InterView 1770 is a bit weird. Each of its 17-inch LCD panels can be rotated 180 degrees—so one display faces the user and other faces another—and then fold like a clam. I was wondering why anyone would like to see all my porn mirrored at the other side of my desk, but according…
