Those Air Force Drones Are Bigger Than You Think They Are

I keep forgetting about how damn huge some drones are. Most people think they are tiny, like toy planes. As this photo of a Northrop Grumman RQ-4 Global Hawk shows, they are actually big. Big as in pretty damn huge. This image was taken at last year’s Seoul Air Show, in South Korea. I have…

This Painting Is Made Using Light and Plexiglass Airplanes

Sometimes, art isn’t exactly what it seems. This picture, for instance, disappears completely if you switch the light off that’s shining through the plexiglass airplanes hanging from the ceiling. It really is a beautiful piece. I love that the idea builds on the concept of the toy planes that used to hang from our bedroom…

Microsoft Now Opposes SOPA, But Only ‘As Currently Drafted’

Many of the internet’s big players, like Facebook, Google and Twitter, actively oppose SOPA. Now you can add Microsoft to that list. Well, kind of.

iPad Boxes Stuffed With Clay On Sale in Canada

When a bunch of fraudsters wanted free iPads, they purchased them, removed the iPad, packed the box with clay and returned it to the store. Cheeky, illegal, but ingenious. Only, the stores then sold the clay to unsuspecting customers. At least 24 iPad 2 devices have been swapped for modelling clay at major Canadian retailers…

The Day The LOLcats Died: The Ultimate SOPA Protest Song

There are many ways to stand up to SOPA. Websites like Wikipedia and BoingBoing are dark, there’s a rally in New York, and people everywhere are signing petitions and contacting their senators. My favorite method, though? A protest song to the tune of Don McLean’s ‘American Pie’. Created by comedy team LaughPong, the song urges…

This Alienware Gaming PC Couldn’t Look More Like a Console

I’m a big fan of small form factor PCs. Sure, they’re a pain in the ass to upgrade, but they’re less obtrusive. I’ve got a feeling gamers don’t think the same way, though — but maybe Alienware’s X51 can convince them otherwise? Looking more like a console than a computer, the latest Alienware release is…

Why Android Handsets Are Bigger Than the iPhone

The iPhone screen is, and probably always will be, 3.5 inches. But Android handsets have gotten enormous over the last year or two, to the point where 4.3 inches feels standard, if not a bit small. Why is that? We’ve already heard a good explanation as to why the iPhone screen has stayed at 3.5…

How To Access Wikipedia During Tomorrow’s Blackout Protest

Wikipedia may be going dark within the hour in protest of SOPA/PIPA but that doesn’t mean it’s going offline completely. With very little work, you’ll be able to access the online encyclopedia tomorrow—even if that does mean going against the entire spirit of the protest. According to the Wall Street Journal, a Wikimedia spokesman confirmed…

Daily Desired: A Kurt Cobain Guitar for Children of the 90s

I first picked up a guitar when I was 11, about a year after Kurt Cobain killed himself. All I wanted was the Fender guitar he designed. I never got it, but now there’s a new Cobain guitar for me to drool over. The new Kurt Cobain Fender Mustang is based on the modded versions…

Miniature Tigers: Female Doctor

If you call a song “Female Doctor” and stack it with gooey synthesizers, you know everyone’s mind is going to immediately jump to porn. Can you blame us? But Miniature Tigers’ new single is deliciously tongue-in-cheek and not the least bit erotic. The Brooklyn synth-pop outfit are laughing with us on this jam, which toes…

Sure, you can make music on the iPhone, but iPad‘s big screen and faster processor work better for apps that present a more complete version of the typical recording studio. This difference becomes immediately clear with Tabletop for iPad. It’s not just a collection of sequencers and sample pads, but rather a full-service, multi-channel, multi-machine…

What Is SOPA?

If you hadn’t heard of SOPA before, you probably have by now: Some of the internet’s most influential sites—Reddit and Wikipedia among them—are going dark to protest the much-maligned anti-piracy bill.

The MPAA Says Blackout Protests Are an Abuse of Power

Tomorrow huge sites like Wikipedia and Reddit will “blackout” in protest of SOPA, and the MPAA doesn’t like the behavior of these “technology business interests”one bit.
