These are the most amazing aerial photos of New York ever, period

It’s always exciting to receive a message from a master like Vincent Laforet telling you about his new photos. This time he has outdone himself (once again!) so I had to share it right away. Never in my life I’ve seen New York from this perspective and with this stunning quality—so perfect it feels unreal.…

John Mayer: Free Fallin’

I’m not normally an emotions sorta person when it comes to music — sure, I listen to stuff basically 24/7, but normally to block out distractions (or because Taylor Swift is hella catchy). There’s not many songs I’ve listened to on repeat because the emotions get to me, but John Mayer’s cover of Free Fallin’…

Check Out The Gigantic Snow Sculptures Made By Three Brothers

Think your family tradition of making a snowman with your sibling is cute? Artistic, even, because you stuck a carrot in there, or pushed a couple eyes in?

Bud Lite Is Building A Life-Size Pacman Arena For The Super Bowl

Every year, we get to watch a series of commericals interspersed with occasional shots of people running into each other.

Take A Stroll Through Hobbiton In This Beautiful Gallery

Whenever the lush hills of the Shire come into view in The Lord of the Rings or The Hobbit movies, it’s almost impossible not to be filled with a desire to be whisked away to the peaceful land of Hobbits. Turns out you can go – and as these photos show, it looks as good…

How To Spot Comet Lovejoy With The Naked Eye

Comet Q2 Lovejoy passed closest to Earth on January 7th and has been putting on a great show this past week. Glowing at magnitude +4 with a bluish coma nearly as big as the Full Moon, the comet’s easy to see with the naked eye from the right location if you know exactly where to…

Holy Hell, I Had No Idea The LEGO Movie Was So Hard To Make

If you’ve watched The LEGO Movie, you were probably too busy laughing/reminiscing to actually think about the work that went into production. That’s a shame, because as this behind-the-scenes clip shows, it takes a lot of effort to make little plastic men talk. The film is made partly with stop-motion animation, using real bricks, and…

Thanks to “high import duties” and “challenges in the local business environment”, Nintendo will no longer be selling consoles or games in Brazil. Sorry, local Mario fans: looks like you’ll have to cross (any) border to get your fix.

A Trailer For The Interview, as Directed By Kim Jong-Un

The Interview, the most talked-about crap movie of 2014, was not very flattering to North Korea’s leader. Actually, it showed his head going pop. But what would happen if the film were directed by the DPRK’s glorious leader, rather than those American fascists? This YouTube video, which comes to us courtesy of an anonymous YouTube…

How to Keep Your Dog Safe and Warm This Winter

You wouldn’t venture nearly naked into the frozen wastes of your neighborhood during the dead of winter just to use the outhouse, so why do you expect your dog to? This winter hasn’t been nearly as intense as last year’s snowpacalypse, but it’s still a dangerous time of year for pets. Here are the tips…

SpaceX Came THIS CLOSE To Sticking Its Historic Landing

SpaceX’s dull cargo run to the space station featured an exciting secondary mission: the first-ever attempt to land the booster rocket on a floating spaceport drone ship for recovery and reuse. The Falcon 9 hit the barge too hard, impacting rather than landing, a failure so close to success it’s worthy of celebration. https://gizmodo.com/spacex-will-try-landing-on-barge-after-fridays-cargo-fl-1672098313 Falcon…

A Cool Darth Vader Re-Design, Complete With… A Mini-Death Star?

Concept Artist Steven Chinhsuan Wang posted this cool redesign of Darth Vader design to Artstation recently, and while it’s a nifty design for Star Wars’ Sith Lord, the most interesting thing about it is the crazy lightsaber design. You thought The Force Awakens’ Crossguard Lightsaber was weird! First off, here’s the full piece of art:…

Are Bicyclists Jerks, Or Are They Just Being Safe?

Do you disobey traffic laws when you’re on your bike? I do, from time to time. So do a lot of other people. And we do it more, it seems, than we would in a car. Why is that? Are bicyclists contemptible jerks, or is there a method to our lawbreaking ways? Photo Credit: George…

This Android Tablet Is A Total Surface Ripoff

Another day, another Android tablet. This one’s got an 11-inch screen, magnetically-attaching keyboard, kickstand coming out the back…wait, that seems familiar. The Remix Ultra tablet is the brainchild of three ex-Googlers, and at first impression, seems to follow the timeless tech-product-ripoff formula to perfection. The hardware is a cheaper version of the Surface’s popular form-factor:…

CISPA: The Awful Anti-Privacy Law That Won’t Prevent Another Sony Hack

CISPA is back. You might remember the bill as the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act—or perhaps as “the worst privacy disaster our country has ever faced.” Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger reintroduced the bill to the House Intelligence Committee on Friday under the auspices of preventing another Sony hack. Silly Dutch. (The congressman is @Call_Me_Dutch on…

Report: Apple Pay May Launch Internationally By March

Since November, the rest of the world has been forced look on with mild annoyance and jealousy as Americans have paid for stuff with fingerprints (and a $600 phone). But according to a report from 9to5Mac, the days of having to key in a PIN – ugh- are numbered. The report, which quotes anonymous “sources…
