Queen : Don’t Stop Me Now

As Queen’s front-man, Freddie Mercury’s overpowering vocals, four-octave range, and thundering stage presence couldn’t be ignored. As a high-profile victim of the AIDS epidemic, his death on Thanksgiving Day, 1991 couldn’t be ignored either.

The Displair Combines A Fog Machine, Touchscreen, and Awesomeness

There’s a reason the Kinect requires so much clearance—it’s better at picking up wildly swinging arms than subtle hand movements.

You Won’t Believe How Much the Government Paid to Make a Basic Weather App that Doesn’t Work

Today’s government waste story isn’t about stealth fighters, but the slightly less exotic world of smartphone software. How much would you guess a little app to generate the local heat index, and provide appropriate “tips.” Price tag? $200,000. What. The app, courtesy of the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration, does extremely little. Its interface…

The Muppets Movie Wasn’t All Puppetry, They Used Special Effects Too

The magic of the muppets is that they’re ‘real’, or as real as puppetry gets. Still, even when the Muppets could have easily gone CGI, they stuck to their roots. That doesn’t mean everything in the new Muppets movie was old school though. Even muppets need the magic of the movies. Don’t worry! THERE ARE…
