Five Emotions Invented By The Internet

The internet! Does it fill you with anything other than unbridled joy and infinite enthusiasm? No? You mean, sometimes the internet kind of freaks you the hell out? You’re not alone. Thought Catalog’s Leigh Alexander shares your net neuroses.


Verizon’s iPhone Could Have Been a World Phone

As they’re wont to do, iFixit and 9to5Mac have (separately) torn apart the new Verizon iPhone, discovering some small changes and one big one: the Qualcomm MDM6600 chip inside. That chipset supports both GSM and CDMA transmission (HSPA+ data rates up to 14.4 Mbps) and it happens to be the one that you’ll find inside a Droid Pro world phone.


LA Cops Seize $10 Million Worth of Fake iPhones, iPods, and More

This Galactic Timelapse Just Needs Some Alien Fighters

José Francisco Salgado is an astronomer at the ALMA observatory in the Atacama desert, Chile. He’s also a great photographer who creates these awesome timelapses. It just needs some alien spaceships attacking Earth. Or maybe just some Nazi UFOs.
