So when news broke…

I Miss Simple Video Games That Didn’t Try Too Hard

As someone obsessed with handheld gaming consoles, Nintendo’s Switch should have been the ultimate portable system for me. Instead, it actually made me nostalgic for Tiger Electronics’ LCD handhelds; arguably some of the first true portable video game systems. They were cheap, durable, simple, and addictive, and 30 years later I find myself missing that…

All I knew is that I needed a Tiger Talkboy cassette recorder or my life was not complete. The Talkboy — I’m getting nostalgic just typing this — was by far the best gift I received as a kid. I was 9, and I had begged nonstop for months. The silver-colored, hand-held cassette player/recorder was…

China Is Turning Tiger Bones Into Wine

Chinese brewers are making wine from tiger bones despite specific regulations against the trade in tiger bones. And it’s not technically illegal, since they’re not actually selling the bones. What? The tigers’ modern plight in China began in 1959 when tigers were targeted for eradication by Mao’s “Great Leap Forward,” and in the more than…

A puppet tiger transforms a city into a glowing, animated jungle

Shut it down. This sofa-bounding tiger cub is the best thing you’ll see today.

This one pretty much does what it says on the tin, people. It’s a tiger cub, leaping around clumsily from couch to couch and eliciting chase-me-chase-me funtime from an over-eager chihuahua (or miniature pinscher?). Here’s what I’m wondering: does chase-me-chase-me funtime continue on into this tiger’s adulthood, or does chihuahua/pinscher one day become a playtime…

Scientists confirm Alan Turing’s 60-year-old theory for why tigers have stripes

Alan Turing was a brilliant mathematician, cryptographer, and logician, plus the father of computer science and artificial intelligence.
