Verizon’s nationwide coverage is formidable, but you know what isn’t? Its data pricing plans. They’re expensive and if you have multiple devices, you can’t pool that data together. Until now, that is. According to Fierce Wireless, Verizon CEO Lowell McAdam made the proclamation at the UBS analyst conference, but stopped short of setting a time…

Watch Brad Pitt transform into David Lynch’s Eraserhead

The New York Times transformed a crop of 2011 actors (who were heralded for playing nice characters) into classic movie villains, including Brad Pitt as Henry Spencer!

According to Lamarck, giraffes developed their long…

What Does Nexus Mean for Android Anymore?

The reason you buy a Nexus phone isn’t just because it’s the best Android phone. It’s a pure distillation of everything Google has to offer. The best Android can possibly be at a given moment in time. But that won’t be the case for the Galaxy Nexus on Verizon. It’ll be missing a pretty big…

OK, a really small car, but still: Behringer’s iNuke Boom is f*cking huge. Its four feet tall, eight feet long, and weighs 700 pounds. Not impressed? 10,000 watts. Yeah, thought so.
