It’s Bombs Away on Lost!

Hooray! Lost was 100% Kate-free last night. In fact none of the Oceanic 6 made an appearance — but, oh, yeah, it somehow managed to be an interesting episode nonetheless. Oodles of spoilers follow. All right, who names a rat after their mom—and what would their shrink have to say about it? Leaving that burning…

This image, a collaboration between Tamar Levine and Rob Sheridan, shows a robotic woman with a few wires out of place. It isn’t real, but maybe… someday?

Google Maps Car Hits a Deer, Records Entire Ordeal on Google Maps

Here’s a sad one: the Google Maps car took out a baby deer, and it recorded the entire process for all Google Maps users to see. For shame, Google Maps car! As you follow the street view scene down Five Points Road in Rush, NY, you can see the deer run out in front of…

Apple’s Bloodiest Patent and Copyright Clashes

If Palm ends up in court over the Pre’s multitouch, it’ll join a prestigious line of firms that have tussled with Apple, which loves a good legal battle almost as much as sexy aluminum. https://gizmodo.com/apple-hints-at-palm-pre-legal-battle-5136645 In Apple’s legal trail are, for the most part, corpses.

Grand HD Cinema Converts USB to HDMI

Before the Grand HD Cinema, I honestly didn’t know that a USB to HDMI converter was possible. (Though in truth, it’s still really only half possible.) The Grand HD Cinema does indeed take USB video (along with audio) and upconvert the stream to a 720p HDMI signal that can drive six different HDMI devices. As…

A Trilobite Made of Welded Steel and Time

Its carapace has turned to steel in the hundreds of millions of years since it went extinct, but the watch in this Trilobite’s brain never stops tracking the seconds passed since the Cambrian ended. Jud Turner calls this sinuous sculpture Trilo Temporalis, in reference to the Trilobite fossils it’s modeled on – and in reference…

Once the Ultimate Sign of Universal Mastery, Private Jets Are Now Totally Uncool

Now is a really good time to pick up a second-hand Gulfstream. Why? In our bailout-ridden times, a private jet has become as stigmatic as those knockoff L.A. Lights you had on the playground.

Wait, They Want To Put More Camera Confessionals Into Blair Witch?

Triceracopter: If Only Evolution Had Worked Out Differently

The Triceracopter is half Triceratops, half helicopter. Built as a sculpture in 1977 by artist Patricia Renick, it’s now available now for the discerning collector/dinopilot. The Triceracopter is subtitled “Hope for the Obsolescence of War,” and I guess that’s why it’s a dinosaur combined with a military helicopter. But somehow I feel like it promotes…
