GoDaddy has long been king of kings of domain registrars, and even when CEO Bob Parsons shot an elephant and crowed about it on video, most non-PETA-affiliated users didn’t flee. But when GoDaddy trumpeted its support of the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), users took notice. SOPA was proposed by Rep. Lamar Smith (R-Texas), who probably has a lot in [...]
ThinkGeek asks, “Do you miss the ’80s?” Well, please. Who doesn’t? Hence this delicious item: I don’t even use a mouse anymore, but I would if I could use this.
It’s time to get rid of your Death Star wallpaper and go for something more sophisticated. Italian illustrator and graphic designer Alberto Seveso poured ink into water and photographed it at high speed.

But realistically, sometimes it’s just what you want. It’s the folding and refolding and complex carpel tunnel-inducing origami that you don’t want. Crumpled City Maps are made out of durable [...]
It’s the job with the best perk in the world, but maybe not the best job security. You get to fly into space and be on top of the world. NASA has once again opened up the application process for astronaut jobs. I’ll be honest. I never thought an astronaut position would be online like any other job listing. It’s [...]
Wow, I feel so much better about myself, I can’t even tell you. In 2008, professional photographer Stephen Eastwood took 10 photos to demonstrate the way that focal length can make a huge difference in the way a face looks in portrait photography. It was part of a tutorial. For some reason, it’s making the rounds now, and it’s a [...]
