Futurama‘s final episode makes me a Fry and Leela shipper at last

Futurama uses its last episode, “Meanwhile,” wisely. It fixes something that has bothered me from the beginning of the show, and shows us the beauty of true love. I love Futurama.

Vizio 55″ Razor LED HDTV Lightning Review: Good and Cheap

$9,000 for a TV? Doesn’t matter if it’s curved, spherical, or damned trapezoidal; doesn’t matter if the LEDs are organically raised or not, that’s an absurd amount of money to throw down on a set. And unless you’re a lucky member of the 1 percent, it’s not really even an option. Here’s a solid TV…

Ricoh’s Weird 360 Camera Takes Mind-Bending Photos, But It’s Expensive

Ricoh’s new Theta is a genuinely new kind of consumer gadget. The wand-shaped device has two opposite facing images, which can capture fully-spherical, 360-degree images.

Watch Vladimir Putin drawing a vagina (he says it’s a cat)

Homophobic President Vladimir Putin asserted his masculinity yesterday while visiting a school somewhere in Russia. He drew a vagina in front of all the students and then he said it was ‘a cat from behind.’ No, Vladimir, that isn’t a cat, you fascist pig. https://kotaku.com/vladimir-putin-is-an-artist-1256300307

5 Smart Building Skins That Breathe, Farm Energy, and Gobble Up Toxins

Technically speaking, the smart facade—or building envelope that adapts to environmental conditions—dates back to the first window. But the contemporary idea of the smart facade has only been around for a few short decades, helped along by recent advances in chemical and material science.

Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro: Basically a Perfect Upgrade

Last year’s Lenovo Yoga was one of the better laptops we’ve ever used, and certainly right at the top of Windows 8 convertibles. This year’s Yoga 2 Pro refines the hell out of that notion, and adds a super high res screen on top. The Yoga 2 Pro isn’t a great deal thinner than last…

Yahoo’s New Logo Is Boring, and That’s the Whole Point

At midnight, Yahoo unveiled its new logo after 30 days of zany decoy versions. It’s a staid little number, the main surprises of which are its intense new shade of purple, an ever-so-slight serif, and an odd architectural shadow effect. It’s a more traditional, adult design—and it hints at how Yahoo is changing on a…
