Leaked Image Shows Faster A5 Brains Inside Next iPhone’s Guts (Updated)

This allegedly leaked image shows Apple’s A5 processor—the brains of the iPad 2—firmly inserted into the next-generation iPhone electronic guts. While we suspected this was going to be the case, this would be the first visual confirmation. If it’s a photo of the real thing, that is. You can also see a new higher-capacity battery…

Facebook Photo Library Dwarfs Everything Else on the Planet

Check out the gigantic volume of photos now stored in Facebook compared to Flickr, the Library of Congress and Instagram. I knew they were big, but I never imagined the difference could be so huge. 140 billion photos! It defies belief. It’s 10,000 times larger than the photo catalog in the Library of Congress! And…

Here’s the 7-Inch TouchPad You’ll Never Be Able to Buy

We’d heard about it half a year ago, and now here it is in the grainy, blurry flesh: HP’s 7-inch WebOS tablet that was dead before it ever left the front door. Luckily, it looks pretty mediocre! https://gizmodo.com/unconfirmed-first-look-at-the-webos-tablets-weve-been-5736839 The codenamed “Opal” TouchPad, beyond being something of a gadget James Dean, doesn’t have a whole lot…

NYC Subways Getting Their Very Own 47-Inch Touchscreens

Because why not? Many a New Yorker has been caught unawares by service changes, delays, and other forms of public transit fuckery. With that in mind, NYC Transit and Cisco are installing 47-inch On the Go! Travel Stations for flustered commuters. The touchscreens will be a godsend (on paper) for travelers looking to get out…

Someone Put a Giant 581-Foot Lightsaber In the Middle of London

To celebrate the disgrace that the Blu-ray edition of Star Wars is going to be, Lucasfilm has transformed the BT Tower in London into a lightsaber. Yes, it looks cool. No, it wouldn’t make the Blu-ray changes suck any less. https://gizmodo.com/george-lucas-confirms-more-impossibly-dumb-changes-on-b-5836756 The 581-foot lightsaber changes color between the classic blue, green and red laser colors…

Netflix Doesn’t Own the Qwikster Twitter Feed. This Foulmouthed Pothead Does.

Netflix wasn’t the first to come up with the name Qwikster, which is what they are calling their new/old spinoff DVD company. That distinction goes to a Mr. Jason Castillo, a man with an affinity for bitches and weed. Or maybe this young gentleman is actually working for Qwikster, and he’s trying to do a…

Speakers Disguised as Art Are Completely Pointless if the Art Sucks

The idea of having home theater speakers masked as art prints is certainly enticing. But when there are only 20 designs to choose from, and they all look PRETTY TERRIBLE, that intrigue quickly evaporates. That said, if you have your heart set on having noise blaring from the tropical sunset displayed on your wall, here’s…

Navy’s Newest Ship Is the Pick-Up Truck of the Sea

There’s not much inside the Navy’s newest ship, and that’s exactly how they like it. 338 feet long, 93 feet wide, low and blocky, USNS Spearhead is basically a thin aluminum shell wrapped around four diesel engines, rudimentary control facilities for its 40 crew plus 312 airline-style passenger seats.

Windows 8 Will Let You Make Phone Calls?

Will your new Windows 8 slate be a giant phone come 2012? Screens from last week’s BUILD conference seem to indicate that.

Samsung Already Trying To Ban the iPhone 5

The next iPhone will be out soon, and Samsung’s legal team is going to be nice and ready for it: the company’s told the Korea Times that it’s already working on a national sales ban. Somehow I doubt Apple’s worried. If a Korean court granted Samsung the injunction, it’d be an unprecedented victory in the…

Not a Step Back: Images from World War 2’s Brutal Eastern Front

The Allies ultimately won World War 2, of course, but at great cost. Nowhere is this more true than the great 1,000-mile Eastern Front, where German and Soviet forces mixed battle, bloodshed and war crimes in equal mix. Torture, executions and other atrocities were employed by both sides, although it is perhaps Stalin’s notorious “Not…
