Please Don’t Live-Tweet Your 12 Hour Wedding Proposal

Mike Duerksen from Winnipeg had a lovely idea: he would take his girlfriend on a carefully orchestrated, 12 hour marathon date, visiting their special places all day—ending in an engagement ring. Adorable. Not adorable? Constantly tweeting throughout. The #MikeProposes Twitter gimmick was, of course, a hit with Twitter. As mentioned, it’s adorable! Mike Duerksen earned…

That Ashton Kutcher Steve Jobs Movie Sounds Pretty Awful Already

Ashton may or may not be the perfect fit to play the world’s favorite tech tyrant, but the rest of the film seems terrible and terribly boring. Even the title is horrendous. https://gizmodo.com/anyone-can-play-steve-jobs-even-ashton-kutcher-5899751 First, the movie is called Jobs: Get Inspired, which, wow. Jobs: Get Inspired. With that kind of cornball name, the film sounds…

North Korea Shows Off Glorious New Weapons that Probably Won’t Work

To celebrate the Immortal Perfect Rocket Glory Leadership of chubby dictator slug Kim Jung-un, North Korea threw itself a parade. Unlike, say, the Thanksgiving Day Parade, this one was mostly goose-stepping soldiers and new weapons, including a fat new ICBM. https://gizmodo.com/north-korea-defies-the-world-and-launches-menacing-rock-5901325 Right on the heels of its primetime rocket disaster, the parade was perfectly timed:…

Where Were You Hundreds Of Birthdays and Christmases Ago Tape Scissors?

It’s obvious why these brilliant scissors with a built-in tape dispenser aren’t available in every office supply store in the country. They want you to have to buy both products separately—increasing the store’s profits while you sit at home fumbling your way through another botched attempt at wrapping gifts. It’s a bigger crime against consumers…

Inflatable Mat Lets You Walk On Water, Other Miracles Left Up To You

This Inkjet Prints Self-Folding Origami

It unfortunately can’t be used to print off 100 paper pterodactyls, but production design student Christophe Guberan has modded an inkjet printer so that the prints fold themselves into unique geometric shapes and patterns as they dry. Using a very specific mixture of ink and water, the Hydro-Fold prints fold lines on each page. And…

Take Notes While Saving Your iPhone’s Battery With This Nostalgic Case

Before touchscreens and tablets came along, Magna Doodle was the easiest way for a kid to draw without a pencil and paper.

100 Years of the Titanic

One hundred years ago, the RMS Titanic sank in the North Atlantic Ocean. It was a modern day Tower of Babel—an ill-fated engineering and technological marvel of colossal proportions. A century on, our fascination with the Titanic’s maiden voyage hasn’t faded at all. We’ve gathered up some of the best pieces of the Titanic’s legend,…

The Terrible 3D Trend Has Now Hit Oscillating Fans

As if the 3D trend spreading back in time and infecting older films like Titanic wasn’t bad enough, it now appears to be spreading outside of movies and TV. In Japan, Sharp has introduced what they claim to be the world’s first 3D fan. We had no idea the fans we’d been using all these…
