Do not underestimate the technological expertise of faeries

Generally it is believed that faerie society is pre-industrial, dealing in magic rather than engineering. Any amount of time spent among these creatures, however, will banish that idea from your mind. This high-tech faerie scene was conceived by Jordan Lamarre-Wan, a professional concept artist in Texas. His work is packed with amazing worlds and creatures.…

Visitors of Twitter’s website are inadvertently retweeting spam and porn to their followers, just by hovering over tweets. UPDATE: Patched Update: As of 9:50, Twitter says “The exploit is fully patched.” The exploit takes advantage of…

World’s Smallest Stop-Motion Video Was Filmed With a Nokia N8 Phone

Filmed using nothing but a Nokia N8 with attached CellScope microscope, what you’ll see here will blow your mind. The figurines were made using a 3D printer, and had to be hand-painted using a microscope due to their small stature. While we remain decidedly nonplussed about Nokia’s Symbian-running N8 phone, there’s no doubting the quality…

The First 1.5TB Portable External Hard Drive Is USB 3.0 and From Seagate

SSDs might be the storage du jour for their speed, but there’s still no beating regular-ass hard drives for their price to capacity ratio. And now, the first 1.5TB portable hard drive, from Seagate. The FreeAgent GoFlex looks like this, and gives you USB 3.0 connectivity (or FireWire 800, if you get the FireWire adapter…

Loud Music Doesn’t Affect Hearing as Much as Previously Thought

Apple’s headphones have already passed the test, but what about other sources of loud music? Should we really be worried about going deaf? New research published in the Journal of Speech, Language and Hearing suggests the whole topic is overblown. https://gizmodo.com/apple-free-to-continue-destroying-our-ears-in-2010-5437840 It’s worth bearing in mind that prolonged exposure to excessively loud music will do…

Stuff Bounty (But Not Han Solo) in Boba Fett’s Jetpack Backpack

It could be the sartorial choice of the year, and costs a whole lot less than a Louis Vuitton satchel. I’m talking about Boba Fett’s jetpack backpack, which has finally gone on sale after months of cruel photo-teasing. ThinkGeek has it up for $50, but if you’re willing to sacrifice plush comfiness for an inflatable…

Leaked HTC Mozart Video Shows Windows Phone 7 Specs for the Nexus One Lookalike

Looking very similar to the Nexus One (albeit with a larger top-bezel), HTC’s WP7-running Mozart phone has appeared in a video along with some very believable specs. Super-LCD instead of AMOLED, an 8MP camera—par for the course really. https://gizmodo.com/nexus-one-review-5443835 Also listed is a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon QSD 8250 chip, which was used in the Nexus…

Super Zoom and 1080p Video Both Added to Leica’s V-LUX 2 Camera

Not to be confused with the affordable V-LUX 20 compact, the V-LUX 2 follows on from where the V-LUX 1 went four years ago—namely, mahoosive-zoom territory. In true Leica fashion, it’s basically a pricier version than Panasonic’s FZ100. https://gizmodo.com/leica-v-lux-20-compact-camera-exposed-with-geo-tagging-5520532 A 24x zoom lens is the crowning glory of the V-LUX 2, in this case it’s…

Leica’s D-LUX 5 Has Faster Lens and Presumably Even Larger Price-Tag

While the whole camera industry seems to be going nuts for the retro, pared-down beauty of the micro four thirds (and similar) models around, if you want true “original” design you must look for that (pricey) red dot. Not that the D-LUX 5 is going to be any much different from the Panasonic Lumix line,…

Giant Motherf*cking Spiderwebs Stronger Than Kevlar

Don’t be surprised if you see the US Army sporting fine garments made from Madagascan bark spider’s silk in the future. It’s “10 times better than Kevlar,” which itself is “5 times stronger than steel on an equal weight basis.” Discovered back in 2008, the elastic properties of the Caerostris Darwini spider (Darwin’s bark spider)…

Panasonic Lumix GH2: A Superhero Micro Four Thirds Camera That Dabbles In 3D
