Breakthrough Opens Door for 60Tb Hard Drives

Seagate just shattered the record for storage density on hard drives by using a novel recording method to stuff 1 terabit into a square inch. That’s nearly twice the old record. Hard drives are about to get huge. Seagate squeezed all of that data into that tiny space by using “heat-assisted magnetic recording” instead of…

This K’nex Value Tub Is Your Creative-Childhood-Memory Deal of the Day

When I was little, I played with K’nex, which doesn’t have the little plastic men like Lego. Of course, so called educators would say that not having figurines forces you to be more creative and resourceful: build bridges! Build towers!

There’s a must-read interview with Jason Statham in the new issue of Details, in which he explains succinctly why greenscreen effects totally suck: Fahkin’ hate green screen.

Candy Concoction Looks and Tastes Like a Burger, Fries, and Soda

You apparently have to be very careful when ordering food in Japan because what looks like a fast food combo, or even sushi, could turn out to be an edible chemistry experiment made entirely from candy. https://gizmodo.com/this-is-not-sushi-5754932 This $5 make-it-yourself kit apparently even tastes like a burger and fries, which is a bit unsettling. But…

These steampunk Portal Boots would do 19th-Century Chell proud

All the gadgetry in Portal and Portal 2 make these video games excellent subject matter for steampunk artists and illustrators, but examples of well-done steampunk portal cosplay can be hard to come by. https://gizmodo.com/windows-to-other-worlds-a-gallery-of-portals-in-scienc-5812238 Enter DeviantART user batman-and-bananas, who not only crafted a wicked steampunk version of Chell’s handheld portal device (see below), but also…

Apple TV 2012 Review: Can You Hear Blu-ray’s Death Rattle?

You can now buy a $100 box that streams a large catalog of available-to-anyone video that’s nearly as high-fidelity as Blu-ray.

Apple’s Legal Team Has Misplaced Priorities: Ivy League Teenagers Are Fair Game, Influential Global Liars Are Not

Apple’s legal team has misplaced priorities. Apple’s infamous litigiousness elicits umbrage or admiration depending on the bystander, but all would concede its effectiveness. Throughout the years, Apple has beaten critics in the courts, quashed rumors with legal complaints, and fostered a culture of secrecy that enables a sensational, spectacular product buzz unmatched in industry.

What I did during the second season of The Walking Dead, by T-Dog

On AMC’s zombie drama The Walking Dead, each of survivors fulfills a certain familiar archetype. For example, there’s Rick (the fearless leader), Dale (the meddling codger), and Glenn (the hero-in-the making). There is also Theodore “T-Dog” Douglas, a character exactly like Hurley from Lost if nobody knew who Hurley was. What makes T-Dog such an…
