Philadelphia Bus Troll Jams Cell Phone Signals When People Talk Too Loudly

I can understand the need for enforced cell phone silence in a variety of venues—libraries, funerals, theaters. But on a public bus in the middle of Philadelphia?

The First Pressure-Sensitive iPad Stylus Might Just Outperform Your Fingers

Ten One Design’s Pogo was one of the first styluses designed for use with iOS devices.

Ping Pong Playa: What if the Stereotype Chooses You?

It’s really easy to look at a movie like Ping Pong Playa and see a super-dumb comedy which leans on nothing but stereotypes about Asian people or ping pong players or white people (which constitute a very massive venn diagram).

Honeywell Had The World’s First Fembots in 1968

This 1968 promotional video for Honeywell’s electronics and computing equipment also includes a glimpse of the company’s work in obviously-faked-robotics.
