I Can’t Listen to This Creepy Robot Head Sing Her Head Off

Floating singing lips are creepy but seeing a robotic head with dark soul sucking eyes (that double as cameras) try to sing might be just as bad. Especially when she’s horribly shrieky and a little too realistic. https://gizmodo.com/this-gross-robotic-mouth-is-like-a-singing-fleshlight-5820842 Developed by Chyi-Yeu Lin, the robot head can look at a sheet of music with her eye-cameras…

Every Single Gadget Should Be Waterproof Like the Motorola Defy+ Android Phone

You know what makes sense? Putting the things we need and love (photos, music, email, talking) into one small handheld thing. What doesn’t make sense? Leaving these objects vulnerable to something that covers 3/4 of our planet. The Defy+ isn’t. And guess what? It doesn’t resemble a hideous bulging tank, as do most pieces of…

Extremely Rare Volcano Smoke Rings Only Documented Three Times

Mount Etna is now erupting in Italy, spewing hot lava everywhere. Back in 2000, Etna was much calmer.
