It would suck to get caught in the biggest black hole ever

It would suck to get caught in the biggest black hole ever

Sometimes when I’m walking down the street or driving down the road I can’t help but sit back and think about what’s going on up there. You know. Alllll the way up there. In scary, dark space. And then I feel sorda lucky, to you know,…

The Obama bobble head that was launched into the stratosphere

Personally I think bobble heads are terrifying (I had a couple of weird experiences with roommates who had a few). Just the way they, um, stare back at you and their heads are all boppin’ around everywhere—it’s all very real and scary. But they’re also…

The 2013 comet better not suck as bad as “Great” Comet Kohoutek

The 2013 comet better not suck as bad as “Great” Comet Kohoutek

In case you’re trying to plan your comet-watching party a little early, Russian astronomers, Vitali Nevski and Artyom Novichonok, have discovered a faraway alien comet via the International Scientific Optical Network that is expected to be viewable on Earth by November 28, 2013.

Apple to customers: “We know our version of maps sucks”

Apple to customers: “We know our version of maps sucks”

OK so they didn’t really say it like that, but the hype for the iPhone 5 over the past couple years was definitely triumphed by the iOS 6’s maps being all sorts of terrible. In spite of these, um, “issues” with Apple’s wannabe version of Google…

Is there anything sexy about putting on a condom? Hmm… can’t think of one thing off the top of my head (unless you’re using the edible kind, of course). Everyone knows the unavoidable moment I’m talking about: you’re in the heat of the moment, things…

New iPhone earbud redesign, actual phone still remains a mystery

Go figure a new earbud design leaks right before the latest iPhone comes out (only 10 days ’til the big event!). I’m digging the look, and to be honest they remind me a lot of miniature blowdryers (or maybe that’s just me…). The design also looks…

Nothing excites us more than a breakthrough in technology or a new scientific discovery, and we’re surprised this particular news hasn’t been more talked about as of late: the Voyager 1 craft that took off back in 1977 has officially traveled 11.1 billion miles away…

How will a bunch of genetically modified mosquitos conquer malaria?

Normally mosquitoes are the enemy; we are constantly thinking of ways to keep those suckers as far away from us as possible. But in the United States we’re pretty lucky when it comes to the gnat-like blood-suckers that won’t leave us alone, because most of…

Toyota’s utilitarian Camatte concept car for kids

Toyota’s utilitarian Camatte concept car for kids

Our first reaction to seeing the Toyota Camatte (which literally translates to  “Take care of me”) concept for kids was: wait, a car for kids (the closest we ever came to the idea was hitching a ride on the neighbor’s Power Wheels way back when)?…
