The Pentagon Newest Stealth Spy Aircraft Is a Flying Sperm

This is Argus One, the Pentagon’s newest unmanned aerial spy. It can carry 30 pounds of high-tech sensors and it just happens to be shaped like a sperm because this shape is better at handling turbulences at high altitudes. The aircraft was created by the World Surveillance Group for the Pentagon. It’s now being tested…

Apple Holding Internal Town Meeting Tomorrow To Discuss “Exciting New Things” — Possibly Dance in a Field Full of Cash

Apple’s doing great. Like enough money to buy a small country, tear it down, then rebuild it entirely out of Gorilla Glass, great. So it’s no wonder that Tim Cook wants to talk to the assembled employees about the future. Tim sent the following email to all Apple employees: Thanks to everyone’s hard work, we’re…

How Much Would You Pay for this Asspensive Artsy Fartsy Hollow Looking USB Drive?

I have a drawer filled with USB drives that I’ve picked up along this windy life of mine but none of them look like Empty Memory, an artsy, almost jewelry-esque USB stick that looks like it’s hollow. They only hold 4GB of data but BOY DO THEY LOOK COOL. Of course, all those invisible good…

Apple’s Stack of Cash Would Soar 32 Times Higher Than the International Space Station

If you stack every single dollar bill in Apple’s $97 billion cash reserves, you would reach 6,583 miles into space. That’s about 32 times the altitude of the International Space Station. It would look pretty much like this. The math: 97 billion dollar bills, 0.0043 inches thick each. Total: 6,583 miles.

McDonald’s Twitter Marketing Turns into Disgusting Customer Revolt

Somewhere in corporate Hamburgerland, an ad executive with a penchant for “social media” and “the Twitter” thought a McDonalds-themed hashtag would sell more food. Oh boy was he wrong. Mickey D’s Twitter push is backfiring harder than E. coli vomit. The facile burger peddlers hoped to create a “viral,” “organic” marketing campaign, presumably comprised of…

Watch a Giant Tunnel Boring Machine Blast a Hole Through New York City

Watching a 642-ton, 300-foot-long Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) bust a hole from Manhattan to Long Island City reminds me of the tunnel cleaners in Labrinyth. Except, instead of David Bowie singing, it’s Long Island City commuters. The TBM is one of two tunnelers burrowing their way under Manhattan, with braces built as the tunneler Dig…

Apple Will Worry About iPad Competition When It Exists

When asked today about how Apple was handling the competition from lower-priced tablets—specifically the Kindle Fire—Apple CEO Tim Cook said, effectively, that it isn’t a competition at all. Which would sound like hubris, if the numbers didn’t back him up so strongly. While Amazon did sell millions of Kindle Fires last quarter, it’s highly unlikely…

Google’s Broken Promise: The End of “Don’t Be Evil”

In a privacy policy shift, Google announced today that it will begin tracking users universally across all its services—Gmail, Search, YouTube and more—and sharing data on user activity across all of them. So much for the Google we signed up for. The change was announced in a blog post today, and will go into effect…

Hey Nerds, Don’t Protest Against the Wrong SOPA

Before a few dense senators threatened to start shutting down websites without any semblance of due process, there was another SOPA: the Scottish Organic Producers Association. And unfortunately, this small band of farmers undeservingly found themselves on the receiving end of last week’s public fury. According to the UK Register, the organizations site was littered…

The Hunt for the Perfect Reading Chair

I need to sit up when I read. A bed or a couch makes me promptly fall asleep. A straight-backed chair proves uncomfortable for extended reading sessions. Thus I’ve been on a never-ending quest for the perfect reading chair. When I first laid eyes on Claesson Koivisto Rune’s Isola chair, I immediately thought it might…

The Incredible Optical Magic of a DSLR Transformed to Slow Motion

The mechanism inside a DSLR that converts your press of a button to a giant, detailed JPEG is concealed by a click and an instant. But in that instant lies some incredible engineering—watch it all happen super slowly. The footage, captured by Smarter Every Day, used an ultra-slo-mo Phantom camera pointed at a Canon 60D.…

Apple Sells 37 Million iPhones, 15 Million iPads in Monster Moneybags Quarter

Apple just set company records for net income ($13.06 billion) and revenue ($46.33 billion), thanks in large part to selling as many iPhones as there are people in California. Oh, and nearly half as many iPads, too. All of which contributed nicely to the $97 billion of cash and securities the company’s sitting on. I…
