AmazonLocal Is Amazon’s Daily Deals Site That Aggregates Other Daily Deals Sites’ Deals

Amazon’s entrance to the Daily Deal’s website is an interesting one. AmazonLocal, from the looks of it, seems like any other Groupon-clone. But if you look closer, AmazonLocal is aggregating deals, instead of offering it themselves. This is actually pretty cool. I’ve signed up to all the Daily Deals sites and receive a ton of…

The Happiest Places on Earth

Not America. At least, not according to new North Korean government research. No, the happiest place on earth is China. And then North Korea, followed by Cuba, Venezuela and Iran. There’s gotta be something they all have in common, but I just can’t put my finger on it. A preponderance of rainbows? Unicorn zoos? Rice…

Qualcomm Crams Three Kinds of Wireless in One Chip

Dual-band WiFi isn’t cool. You know what’s cool? Dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0, and Gigabit video streaming, all coming from the same chip. Qualcomm’s new triple-headed radio monster does just that. Space saved, stuff streamed speedily. The addition of 60 Ghz wireless is the big bit here—the big spectrum jump takes your data away from the…

Sometimes Environmental Disasters Make Beautiful Photos

That doesn’t make environmental disasters, like what we saw last year in the gulf of Mexico, any better. Far from it, because you know that the spoilt beaches or land would’ve been far more beautiful beforehand. https://gizmodo.com/the-stained-earth-courtesy-of-bp-5568425 Snapped by environmental activist/photographer J. Henry Fair in a series called Industrial Scars, he hopes they provoke a…

Would Apple Really Try to Block Future iPhone Owners From Recording Live Gigs?

In one of the most preposterous filed patents since the toaster/egg-fryer-combo, Apple’s looking to protect its relationships with record labels and film studios by outfitting future iPhones with IR blockers, presumably with live venues and cinemas housing IR signal-emitting boxes. The patent application—of which Apple files many—suggests that iPhones could detect whether a photo or…

Medical science proves that fearing illness makes your illness worse

When in a cardiac emergency, your body turns your own worst fears against you. The more acutely you feel fear, the worse your heart problem gets. It’s like the plot of IT, but without the bad special effects. One of first books to really scare me was a children’s story called Ronia, The Robber’s Daughter.…

New radar maps reveal the once and future fjords of Antarctica

A fjord is a deep valley carved by glaciers. Most famously, fjords were cut into the land by ice melt during Norway’s summers, when fast-moving rivers flow between stunningly tall cliffs. Now a group of researchers have discovered that the fjord was also common to Antarctica, back when its eastern ice sheet grew and shrank…

Teen Sells His Kidney for an iPad 2. Teen Now Regrets It

There’s a lot of reasonable things I would trade for an iPad 2. 500 bucks, Pepsi, a stack of clothes, basically anything my life wouldn’t miss. A 17-year-old kid from China was a little unreasonable—he traded his kidney. It’s a sad story but the kid, named Zheng from Huaishan City in China, wanted an iPad…

Proof that Denver Airport is one of the most evil places on Earth

Having recently been stranded in Denver Airport for 24 hours, I can tell you anecdotally that the place is hellish. Exit arrows point at each other instead of outside; corridors lead to nowhere; and security checkpoints seem to disappear mysteriously as you approach them. As you drive into the airport, you’re greeted by a giant…
