Is it too early to be thinking about icecream? Pffft. It’s never too early! Especially when they’re served soft and coated with poprocks. $30 for a Blizzard machine equals seven in-store Blizzards, by the way. [Target via I4U via NerdApproved]

Lightpainting Goes Spooky For Halloween

We saw some amazing examples of lightpainting in our Shooting Challenge back in July, but Flickr user Jannepaint has come along and eclipsed them all with his pro-shooting. It’s all done in front of the camera, with no after-trickery involved. https://gizmodo.com/46-people-painted-with-light-5590916 This particular one, Serotonia, is my favorite—it was shot using a Sony DSLR-A200.

Nikon’s Android Photo Frame Converts 2D to Glasses-Less 3D for a Monthly Fee

Nikon’s Android-running digital photo frame probably won’t make it out of Japan, but unlike most frames the NF-300i actually sounds pretty cool. It converts any image from 2D to 3D, with the 3D visible to glasses-less eyes. The 3D conversion is part of their updated “my Picturetown” online storage service, which goes 3D in Japan…

Ancient Chinese Socket, Huh?

The hotel staff are friendly and anxious to please, but even when they finally understand my request, they don’t quite understand my reasoning. Nevertheless, after all the pantomime and apologies, they are bringing me a power adapter. I was smart, you see, and only brought things that take batteries. All my AC adapters can handle…

Does Internet Streaming Porn Work on Google TV? (So Very NSFW)

I said in the review, Sony’s Google TV is the perfect bedroom TV for its all-in-one-ness. It’s got a browser, so you should be able to do stream everything that your computer can.

In a new study, researchers report that bumblebees were able to figure out the most efficient routes among several computer-controlled “flowers,” quickly solving a complex problem that even stumps supercomputers. We already know bees are pretty good at facial recognition, and researchers have shown they can also be effective air-quality monitors. Here’s one more reason…
