And you think you’re so smart eh? Pigeons might do better than humans at game shows, at least on “Let’s Make A Deal.” These new findings — involving the pigeons sup … 
I mean, for as long as I have lived, I have been pounding my ketchup bottles. Now you don’t need to. This is revolutionary. Just like how the Internet sidelined physical contacts. When it comes to those last globs of ketchup inevitably stuck to every bottle of Heinz, most people either violently shake the container ...
Seriously, this material should be commercialised. Two decades ago, Maurice Ward invented a fireproof substance that outperformed all known materials. Why wouldn’t he reveal its secret? TH … 
The digital warfare just got more interesting. I wonder if anyone will find a loop hole in quantum cryptography? Teleportation is the extraordinary ability to transfer objects from one location to another without travelling through the intervening space. The idea is not that the physical object is teleported but the information that describes it. This ... 
Fancy being an undead in year 5000? Sign up for this service today! I wonder if I can go to 5000 and be cryogenically preserved again for year 10000. Damn sure that there will be an epic party in 10000. In a nondescript office building near the airport in Scottsdale, Arizona, the Alcor Life Extension ... 
Looks like big beer companies like buds had us with their marketing campaigns. The worst sip of beer I’ve tasted recently was of Brooklyn Brewery’s Pennant Ale ’55. This will surprise anyo … 
This is pretty smart. The Germans are not too bad either… at viewing porns from Al Qaeda. On May 16 last year, a 22-year-old Austrian named Maqsood Lodin was being questioned by police in Berlin. He had recently returned from Pakistan via Budapest, Hungary, and then traveled overland to Germany. His interrogators were surprised to ... 
Japan is back to amaze again. Just check out Nekobukuro! On Wikipedia: Nekobukuro (ねこぶくろ?), or “Cat’s House”, is part of the Ikebukuro Tokyu Hands store, located on the e … 
There is nothing better than a zerg rush on a friday night. For the geeks, this is pure HTML5 galore. Google is giving us another reason to goof off on a Friday with an Easter egg related … 
If you are a leftie, the future looks bleak for you. At least you are better in front of your computer; if you get what i mean. Lefties have always been a bit of a puzzle. Representing only 10 percent of the general human population, left-handers have been viewed with suspicion and persecuted across history. ... 
Jeff Bezo is an impressive man. So impressive that he is doing exploration of his own. Amazon’s cloud computing infrastructure is growing so fast that it’s silently becoming a core piece o … 
Thriftiness is a virtue, even to the North Korean leaders. Rocket technology isn’t the only thing the Stalinist hermit kingdom of North Korea sucks at. It’s not exactly investing in web de … 
If you’re a traffic officer reading this, the next time you see a scientist, just let him pass. Like seriously. A physicist faced with a fine for running a stop sign has proved his innocence by publishing a mathematical paper, and has even won a prize for his efforts. Dmitri Krioukov is a physicist based ... 
Just check out the stats. Seriously mindblowing. Pornography is nothing but the biggest behemoth on the internet. It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a person in possession of a f … 
Damn these big corporations. need to get their acts together. The number of security holes that remain unpatched in software used to control refineries, factories, and other critical infrastructure is growing. It’s becoming so common that security researchers have coined the term “forever days” to refer to the unfixed vulnerabilities. The latest forever day … 
April fool is over. Got fooled? By Google? No seriously, slap yourself if you haven’t seen the 8bit Google maps. Now, someone has done something more amazing. By overlaying the 8bit Google maps, Duncan Barclay has created the most awesome tower defense game, ever. Coding skills aside, just the thought of using the map as ... 
This is really impressive and pushes the limit of quantum science.. in the macroscopic direction. One of the deepest mysteries in quantum physics is the wave-particle duality: every quantum object has properties of both a wave and a particle. Nowhere is this effect more beautifully demonstrated than in the double-slit experiment: streams of particles (photons, ... 
I was not more amazed by the engines being found than the fact that it was found by a team backed by Amazon’s CEO. Guy must be earning so much money that his hobby is hunting for space relics. Jeff Bezos reported on his Bezos Expeditions website that one of his teams has located the ...
A film director and an epic adventurer. Oscar-winning director James Cameron has plunged to the deepest known point in the world’s oceans, tweeting from his one-man submersible during the process. The filmmaker reached Challenger Deep, which is part of the Mariana Trench in the western Pacific Ocean, near Guam, at 7:52 a.m. Monday (5:52 p.m. ...
Nuclear fusion… will it ever happen in this century? The National Ignition Facility (NIF) at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California has set a new record for a laser shot. This past week, its combined 192 lasers fired a single 1.875-megajoule shot into an empty test chamber. After passing through the last of its focusing ...
