All the Largest Nuclear Explosions in History

Nuclear bombs are the deadliest weapons we’ve ever created because of the destruction they’ve caused to human life and the damage they leave with radiation and the sheer magnitude of their explosions. The arms race led to more and more testing of bigger and bigger bombs. Here are the largest nuclear explosions in history. SPLOID…

What Is Your Favorite Single Comic Book Panel?

Every so often there are comic book panels that take off, independent of the story they are a part of. Either they are hilarious or so perfectly composed that we are compelled to save them and pull them out all the time. We have a few favorites, but we want to know yours. The top…

This Gotham Supercut of Riddler’s Riddles Is Actually a Supercut of People Telling Him to Shut the Hell Up

I expected to be annoyed by a six-minute collection of all the riddles that Edward Nygma has posed so far on Gotham, mainly because they were all lifted from a 1955 Child’s Treasury of Riddles book. But I’m happy to report this video is delightfully entertaining, because it’s also a supercut of people getting really…

Apple Didn’t Debut a New Phone Today

Apple announced a “new” four-inch iPhone SE today, and it killed the iPhone 5S. This was a shrewd marketing strategy and a dirty trick. The iPhone SE is not a new phone. It is the iPhone 5S. You know, I don’t like being tricked. You can’t buy the iPhone 5S anymore, but don’t pour out…

The R-Rated Daredevil Film That Almost Was

The Devil of Hell’s Kitchen is currently rocking Netflix following the release of Daredevil season two this past weekend. But before Marvel got the rights back to Matt Murdock, Fox staged a last-gasp attempt to revive the character following their disastrous 2003 film… and featured an R-rated superhero long before Deadpool. https://gizmodo.com/ben-afflecks-daredevil-is-just-as-terrible-as-you-remem-1766054262 We’ve previously featured…

My Tiny Baby Hands Need the iPhone SE

September 19, 2014 was a dark day. It was a little rainy, my mother was in town and stealing my weekend, and a whole lot of iPhone 6 and 6 Pluses were coming into the office for benchmarking and review. The one bright spot was that my own iPhone would be arriving that same day,…

Blacksmiths Recreate Xena’s Impossibly Dangerous Death Boomerang

Lets clear up a couple of things: Yes, I know they’re called chakram, and that they’re real weapons that come from India. I also know they don’t fly back to you when thrown, or separate into weird knives. Xena gets a pass because she’s superhuman and all that, but the guys of Man at Arms…

Short Doc American Renaissance Captures a Charmingly Sincere Subculture

As this short doc by Jarred Alterman and Ryan Scafuro shows, American Renaissance festivals have become less about historical recreation, and more about community building and providing an outlet for offbeat creative expression. https://gizmodo.com/the-haunting-remains-of-the-virginia-renaissance-faire-1448130076 Most of the film is simply beautifully-shot portraits of attendees, lingering on the details of their costumes but never passing judgment…

iOS 9.3: All the New Features For the iPhone and iPad

The new Apple iOS 9.3 is here, and it’s full of tiny enhancements that will make life on an iPhone (or iPad) much easier. It’s important to note that Apple’s latest update to its mobile operating system is iterative (up from 9.2 to 9.3), so there won’t be any drastic changes. Nonetheless, Apple has added…

A Beer-Chugging Luke Evans Just Made Us Genuinely Excited for the Beauty and the Beast Remake

It’s no secret we’ve been pretty critical and dismissive of Disney’s seemingly non-stop need to remake every single one of their iconic animated films in live-action. And yet, with a single video, one of those upcoming remakes just got infinitely more exciting. We’re talking about Bill Condon’s upcoming remake of Beauty and the Beast. Emma…

The iPad Pro Just Got Much Smaller

The 9.7-inch iPad, the Apple tablet snuggled between the smaller mini and the big boy Pro, hasn’t been updated since 2014 with the iPad Air 2. So as some kind of mea culpa, Apple just blew up the Air line altogether with a “new” and “improved” 9.7-inch iPad Pro. Except it’s really not very new…

iPhone SE: All About Apple’s Tiny New Phone

After a few years of big phone mania, Apple’s finally giving us a phone that will fit comfortably in a woman’s pocket. It’s got the same guts as an iPhone 6s, minus the size, and it looks an awful lot like the iPhone 5s—to the point that all the comparisons in the announcement were to…

CareKit Is Apple’s Ambitious New Health Monitoring and Tracking Tool

Apple just introduced its most ambitious health product yet, an open-source app development platform called “CareKit.” It’s basically a way to help people keep track of their medical treatment, and to share information with doctors remotely. The first CareKit app is for people with Parkinson’s disease—it’s a tool to help track changes to their health…

Apple Watch Is Now $299 and Still Not Worth It

It’s been almost a year since the first Apple Watch was released, and following its poor sales numbers, we were hoping that we might get some much-needed love at Apple’s special press event today. Unfortunately, the geniuses at Apple have not found a way to add any meaningful updates to the overpriced wearable device. In…

Say Goodbye to Quint in This Sad But Gorgeous Poster for Jaws

There’s very little debate that Robert Shaw’s Quint is the best character in Jaws. Sure, we love Brody and Hooper, while the Mayor is funny and Bruce himself is killer. But Quint is the man, and his final moments are the focus of this great new poster by artist John Barry Ballaran, with the help…

Mmmm, just like a…

All Hail Foggy Nelson, the Real Hero of Daredevil

Season 2 of Daredevil was not lacking in vigilantes of various stripes. But the actual hero the city deserved wasn’t Matt Murdock’s red-costumed alter ego. It was Foggy Nelson. Daredevil spent a fair amount of its second season delving into the philosophies of vigilantism. Is it a net positive? A net negative? Is there a…
