Warehouse 13: Artie keeps pushing people away

Probably the main reason why I keep watching Warehouse 13 is because it has such a positive, upbeat message about cooperation. The show’s heroes solve their problems by working together, and by being a family. And the show manages to spread this message without (usually) being too cornball — if anything, the characters often bond…

Magnetic Guitar Picks Eliminate Free Rock Concert Souvenirs

Bad news for those of you who splurge on front row concert tickets in hopes of snagging a musician’s lost guitar pick.

Folding Pizza Wheel Provides Extra Crust Cutting Leverage: Brilliant or Idiotic?

Every day there seems to be some technological innovation that divides the Gizmodo staff. Is it revolutionary, or just evolutionary? Will it change the world, or just clutter up a drawer? And such was the debate over this questionably brilliant folding pizza wheel that lets you use two hands to plow through particularly thick crust.…

Must Watch: Joss Whedon’s Alternate Opening Sequence for The Avengers

Joss Whedon shot a whole different opening to The Avengers that starts with a debriefing of one very pissed off Maria Hill (Cobie Smulders). This version perfectly demonstrates the fractured relationship between Nick Fury and Hill (something the director mentioned was cut down quite a bit in the edit room). We suspect the DVD will…

Could your mind be reprogrammed while you’re asleep?

Researchers have proved that people can be conditioned with behaviors in their sleep — and then exhibit those same behaviors when they’re awake, without any memory of the earlier training. While there’s some suggestion this could lead to methods of learning information in your sleep, the potential for night-time conditioning is pretty scary. A new…
