Never Let Me Go will leave you numb inside

This year’s most anxiously awaited high-brow science fiction movie is also the year’s biggest Merchant Ivory-style weepie. The trouble with Never Let Me Go is that high-concept suspension of disbelief and repressed/understated British melodrama don’t always go together. Spoilers ahead! In Never Let Me Go, three ridiculously cute young people grow up together at a…

That 7-Inch iPad Rumor Just Won’t Die, Will It?

The 7-inch iPad rumors just won’t stop. After last August’s rumor barrage, a Chinese rumor site with no track record claims that the fabled iPad 7-inches is now a “finished product”, which looks more iPhone 4 than iPad: https://gizmodo.com/can-magic-really-fit-in-seven-inches-5615058 Yes there will be a 7″ tablet, yes it’s well underway in terms of product development…

The Cassini spacecraft has captured this psychedelic false color view of Saturn’s aurora (in green). If we think that Earth’s aurora is awesome, imagine watching an aurora larger than a dozen Earths. Here’s the time lapse video: https://gizmodo.com/this-aurora-photo-is-the-most-insane-ive-ever-seen-5642766 The Saturnian aurora’s brightness changes during the 10h47minute planet’s day, a phenomenon that may be connected to…

Though the Planet of the Apes movies don’t get into it much, the apes must have pop culture like we do, complete with cheesy horror movies, experimental rock bands, and designer clothes.

Airplane Sensors Inspired by Spiderwebs Detect Cracks and Damage Instantly

While we all know there’s a greater chance of a shark attack than there is of being in a plane crash, we’ve all seen Lost. It’s scarred us all. It’s really no surprise airplane safety is being so scrutinized now. Taking inspiration from spiderwebs, scientists at Stanford University have developed something akin to a netting…

Watch the hilarious alternate opening sequence to Iron Man 2

When you’re listing cool scenes that were in movie trailers, but not in the actual movie, the Iron Man 2 scene where Pepper kisses Tony’s helmet and tosses it away, and he says “You complete me,” would be up there. https://gizmodo.com/kick-ass-scenes-that-are-in-trailers-but-arent-in-the-5272895 This alternate opening, which I’m guessing will be on the DVD and Blu-ray, coming…

How Did One Man Contaminate Half a Billion Eggs, and Why Wasn’t He Stopped?

A single man—poultry tycoon Austin J. DeCoster—was responsible for this year’s salmonella outbreak that sickened almost 2,000 people across 22 states, and forced a recall of half a billion eggs. How did it get to this point? DeCoster’s egg operations were, perhaps, anomalous in terms of their pure grossness—reports from one of his plants cite…

Einstein’s theory of relativity says that time passes more slowly the closer you get to the ground, because you’re closer to Earth’s gravitational field. It’s a tiny difference, but big enough for a pair of laser-powered clocks to actually measure. Time dilation is one of the more famous aspects of Einstein’s theory, although most people…

Panasonic’s Robot is Gonna Wash That (Hu)Man Right Outta Your Hair

There’s nothing worse than an overly chatty hairdresser. Someone harping on about their snotty-nosed children, or about how lazy their husband is. Bring on the robots, I say.
