HeadPhone Gets Your Plugged-In Zombie Coworkers’ Attention

The fact that HeadPhone exists is both sad and brilliant. Sad, because it’s actually a problem that it can be really hard to get someone’s attention at work because of perma-headphones. Brilliant, because Headphone pretty much fixes this problem. The app is super small and does only one thing—shoot an un-ignorable “X WANTS TO GET…

And it’s not just handwritten—it’s transcribed in calligraphy. These people work. Hard. The Musalman has been operating in India since 1927, and has never had an employee quit—the only…

Laptop Batteries That Don’t Crap Out a Year Into Their Life

It’s a common problem—your shiny new laptop isn’t looking so shiny or new anymore, and what’s that? The battery barely holds a charge now? Ugh.

I always imagined that landing a moving thing on another moving thing would be pretty hard, but I also thought that helicopters would be easier than airplanes. As these videos demonstrate, I was very wrong. Since helicopters often land on a smaller ship, the latter are more susceptible to move heavily when there’s bad weather—something…
