These Concept Notes Make Money So Beautiful

U.S. currency does change from time to time, but the basic design — green/black background, a portrait on one side, and a pretty picture on the other — has stayed boring for decades.

Chomping T-Rex and Velociraptor Hand Puppets Are the Best Winter Gloves

It’s impossible not to love the Hulk, but given the choice between wearing a pair of over-sized green hands that smash, or the giant gaping jaws of our favorite dinosaurs from the Jurassic Park films, the T-rex and Velociraptor are always going to win. So it makes perfect sense that Hasbro would come up with…

Go to Prison for File Sharing? That’s What Hollywood Wants

The Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement (TPP) poses massive threats to users in a dizzying number of ways. It will force other TPP signatories to accept the United States’ excessive copyright terms of a minimum of life of the author plus 70 years, while locking the US to the same lengths so it will be harder to…

Forget Zelda, This 20-Inch Link Figure Is Worthy Of an Epic Hyrule Quest

Watch different layers of clouds move in completely different directions

This is cool. A time lapse, aptly named Highway in the Sky by the guy who filmed it, shows how different layers of clouds in the same sky can actually move in completely different directions. It’s like seeing clouds respect different flows of traffic. It’s like seeing multiple skies in one. It’s like staring at…

Women kicking ass in action movies

The film editing maestro Clara Darko stitched together this perfect montage of actresses in action movies kicking mother freaking ass.

The Best New Windows 10 Phone Features in 6 GIFs

The Windows 10 preview for laptops has been out for a while, but the beta version of the new Microsoft operating system only came to (a few, select) phones yesterday.

Here’s What Skype Was Like In 1947

Thanks to tech like Skype, the ability to both see and hear someone across thousands of miles is a mundane exercise for most of us here in the early 21st century. But back in 1947, signing a contract over videophone was like looking into the future. Even if that future turned out a bit different…

Apple Really Is Working on a Car, Claims Wall Street Journal

The Wall Street Journal reports that Apple has hundreds of people working on a top secret project: an electric minivan.

Obama’s Big Cybersecurity Order Is Meh

The president signed an executive order today to bulk up the federal government’s cybersecurity efforts. It focuses on creating ways for the private sector to share threat information with the government. Unfortunately, it may do more to further jeopardize consumer privacy than it will to effectively minimize cyberthreats. Look, his net neutrality proposal was great.…
