Watch Grapes Turn to Raisins in 30 Seconds

Filmmaker James Knott spent three full months patiently producing this thirty second time-lapse short of grapes turning into raisins. How did he do it?

Captain Jack Sparrow becomes a lizard with an existential crisis, in Rango

You’ll see a lot of movies about heroes struggling to find their place in the world this year. But only Rango, the movie starring Johnny Depp as an existentially challenged chameleon, really delves to the bottom of the hero’s soul. Rango is a new stoner cult classic in the making.

This Stunning Font Is Made Out of 114 Photoshop Files

When Emilio Gomariz noticed that Mac OS X remembers the positions of files and windows when you minimize them, he didn’t just nod his head and get back to stirring in his low-fat creamer. Nope! He instead created 114 Photoshop files, placed them in exacting position, then minimized them on the dock. And when he…

How Much Faster Is iOS 4.3 GM Than iOS 4.2?

So just what kind of Safari speed improvements can you expect when iOS 4.3 rolls out?

Are Tablets Ruining Watching TV Together?

TV socializing is something of an oxymoron to begin with. When we sit down to watch the tube together, we’re mostly together in the strictest technical sense—couch proximity. We might share popcorn, or laugh in unison, or murmur something about how so-and-so got fat—but it ain’t exactly a meeting of the minds. Our eyes—and brains—are…

10 Most Bizarre Animal Mating Behaviors

As a group, animals are disgusting. It’s really a shame we’re one of them. But while we only display mating behavior on specially requested internet videos or unused sections of libraries, they have sex in front of biologists. The biologists, of course, can’t keep their mouths shut and tattle all the animals’ dirty dealings to…

Making nanomaterials just got a lot easier

Graphene is pretty cool stuff. It’s the foundation of a lot of nanomaterials, and when it’s only a single atom thick, it can stretch eternally in two dimensions. When it’s more than one atom thick it behaves very differently, becoming graphite (which you often find in pencils). We already know a pretty easy way to…
