As much as we really want it, All Things Digital’s Peter Kafka says a cloud-based, streaming music option from Apple ain’t in the cards. At least, not tomorrow. Why?

They may be shilling for Range Rover’s new iPhone app here, but fans of their crazy stunts (who happen to live in LA) should download the free app and follow their massive GPS parade this Wednesday. The plan is to trawl the streets of LA carrying their instruments (while hapless workers trail after with amplifiers),…
I took this photo with my Canon 550D using a standard 18-55mm lens. Basically what I wanted to capture was the cold and dark Swedish autumn. And to do so I actually took 3 photos that I merged together in photoshop. 2 of the images being quite straight forward with the only difference being the…

About a week after the tornado in New York City, I started to notice “shadows” of leaves on the sidewalk. It looked almost like the leaves had vaporized, leaving little scorch marks in their place. There aren’t many beautiful, pristine meadows or forests in NY, so I figured I’d take a photo of the shadows…

Canon 550D F/5.6 1/40 shutter speed ISO-800 31mm focal length This shot I really quite liked.

For this shot…
Marshall’s finally let their teased headphones both literally and figuratively out of the box—and it was worth the wait. They are retro-gorgeous, and available as cans (“Major”) or earbuds (“Minor”). Not bad for $100 and $60, respectively. https://gizmodo.com/upcoming-mystery-marshall-headphones-look-worth-it-for-5668432 I particularly dig the curled cords and vinyl headbands of the can version—though the gold accents of…
We don’t know Andy Campbell but we think he should win the “Ultimate Mountain Gig” ski contest. Why? Because Andy Campbell out-skis us all—and he can’t use his legs. Andy wrote us this weekend: I’m a disabled iraq veteran who loves Giz and skiing. I ski sitting down in a “sitski” and have competed in…

There’s a big ol’ iTunes announcement coming tomorrow! Apple didn’t leave us many clues as to what we can expect, but here are a few things that we definitely want. And we might even get a few of them. https://gizmodo.com/whats-apple-planning-for-itunes-tomorrow-5690241 • Streaming Music: We want it. Apple wants to do it. And since Apple’s acquisition…
Nail trimmers are pretty lame, and usually nothing to be excited about. Usually! But the Khlip is pretty cool! The redesigned clipper applies pressure above its single blade, claiming a smoother cut, and sparing you gross nail trimmings flying around. Whether or not the ergonomic wizardry really pays off, we can at least say the…
