The Earth breathes, and it is beautiful
30 jul 2013 15:39
Using NASA's latest high-resolution satellite imagery of Earth, datavisualization expert John Nelson has created a pair of captivating animations that track seasonal transformations on the blue marble we call home. "I downloaded the 12 cloud-free satellite imagery mosaics of Earth at each month of the year," he explains, "wrapped them into some fun projections, then stitched them together into a couple animated gifs." The end result is a pulsing visualization he calls "A Breathing Earth":

Man, the Price of Being a Superhero Sure Has Gone Up a Lot
30 jul 2013 15:33
Seeing as how it’s an unbreakable metal, the adamantium that laces Wolverine’s bones is probably hella expensive. But, cripes, it costs a whole hell of a lot more now. Mashable put together a set of infographics that postulates how much various Marvel and DC superheroes need to shell out in their crime-fighting lifestyles. It’s a fun group of images but, c’mon, no way are batarangs six dollars each. And could Wayne Manor ever have been as cheap as $3,800? Even in 1938? And how many zoning laws do you think the batcave violated? You know none of that construction had a permit, either. You’ve gotta account for the palm-greasing graft, uh, campaign donations, Mashable. And Clark Kent taking the subway? What if his super-hearing catches wind of an emergency? Is he just gonna bust through the F train tunnel to get there in time? Next, you’ll tell us that Matt Murdock buys new designer shades every three months. Can someone run that through an inflation calculator and see what the results is? Be sure to imagine a totally unreasonable price for blind ninja lawyer sunglasses first! Yoga retreat for the Hulk is pretty funny, though.

TECH NEWS! Chromecast: How It Stacks Up To Other Streaming Video Boxes
30 jul 2013 11:03
Yesterday, Google put out a lot of new updates and technology, but the show-stealer was the Chromecast, a $35 dongle that slots into any HDMI port and essentially streams any video you can think of: If it plays in a Chrome browser, it’ll play on Chromecast. But what makes Chrome different, and will it fit all your needs? Here’s how Chromecast compares to three other popular solutions.

Netflix Has Been Cropping The Hell Out Of Your Movies
30 jul 2013 10:55
One of the most important film innovations in the last twenty years was the DVD. Before DVDs, it was really hard to find a movie in the proper aspect ratio: Most VHS transfers cut the movie in half, essentially, because it was cheaper, and much of the movie was lost. So the fact that everything is in widescreen now means Netflix is just streaming the proper image when you fire up a movie, right? Nope. Not at all. In fact they are going out of their way not to. The recently launched blog What Netflix Does offers some examples of what amounts to some truly awful cropping. Here are just two examples:

WEIRD NEWS! Colorado Town May Issue Hunting Licenses For Drones
30 jul 2013 10:52
It’s reasonable to be concerned about drones. They’re cheap, they’re plentiful, the government uses a lot of them, and it has shown disconcerting resistance to revealing just what they’re doing with flying spy robots. So Deer Trail, a small town in Colorado, is going to take matters into its own hands: It’s drone huntin’ season! Introduced by Deer Trail resident Phillip Steel, the law is pretty straightforward. If you see a drone, blow it out of the sky and turn it in for a financial reward. The ordinance states, “The Town of Deer Trail shall issue a reward of $100 to any shooter who presents a valid hunting license and the following identifiable parts of an unmanned aerial vehicle whose markings and configuration are consistent with those used on any similar craft known to be owned or operated by the United States federal government.”

Botched Hit Used Hidden Car Guns
30 jul 2013 10:49
Generally underworld murder attempts are sordid, unpleasant affairs; people get stabbed in the neck, or shot, or blown up, usually by some guy who looks like your dad’s accountant. But apparently somebody in Johannesburg decided one hit needed a little panache. So they hid a bunch of guns behind a car license plate, and waited to trigger them remotely when the target walked in front of it. Alas for the hitman, life is not like a Bond movie. Here’s the target describing what happened:

Let's Potato Chips Are In Every TV Show Ever
29 jul 2013 14:55
Hollywood.com published an interesting article today that links the televised worlds of Community, Orange Is the New Black, Homicide: Life on the Street, and St. Elsewhere that maybe isn’t so much “interesting” as it is “WTF.” Still, there’s some good stuff in there, including the connection between Community and Orange: Let’s Potato Chips, the preferred salt-based snack of none other than Leonard Rodriguez and Poussey Washington. According to Community‘s Wiki, Let’s, an obvious parody of Lay’s, right down to the similar design, have actually appeared in more than a dozen TV series, including Arrested Development, New Girl, Veronica Mars, Gilmore Girls, and The Middle. Lest you think the distinctive bag only appears in good shows, though, there’s also 2 Broke Girls. There’s no accounting for taste…except for Let’s. You can count on them being good for the family!

'The Butterfly Effect' Will Be Remade For Some Reason | UPROXX
29 jul 2013 14:54
Hey, remember The Butterfly Effect? It’s nearly a decade old! We mention this not because we want to make you feel old, but because apparently a decade is long enough to reboot a movie nobody cares about. The original was essentially Somewhere In Time with the personal tragedy laid on with a trowel. Ashton Kutcher’s character wasn’t just molested, he was forced to star in kiddie porn by Eric Stoltz. He doesn’t just have an abusive father, he has a father who tries to strangle him to death before being killed by guards. It’s a dark movie but at the same time it’s kind of ridiculous, because it wants a PG-13 and frankly Ashton Kutcher just isn’t credible as a human being who’s suffered all this misfortune, and the screenwriters have no sense of the absurd; an alternate ending features the hero traveling back to his birth and aborting himself. Also there’s a scene where he wakes up with no hands which should not be funny, but is:

If You Visit Aaron Paul's House, He'll Say Hi
29 jul 2013 14:49
a video of a celebrity tour group outside of Aaron Paul’s house receiving a visit from none other than Aaron Paul himself has gone viral, and while the magnet-loving star is nice, charming, and “dead sexy” (I’m quoting the inner monologue of the Irish girls on the tour), it’s also: no. Let’s not make this a thing, people. Let’s not assume Aaron Paul is always going to come out of his house to take photos with you and your family. Otherwise, the TMZ star-f*cking tours of the world will have won, and nobody wants that as a reality.

Smack Cam On Vine Proves Teens Are Awful
29 jul 2013 14:45
It’s well established that teens are the worst. Whether they’re licking eyeballs, not closing their cellphones on airplanes, or snorting condoms, THE WORST. Add this to their Justin Bieber sticker-covered portfolio of terribleness: according to Jezebel, the latest trend is Smack Cam, in which “people (typically douchey bros or bitchy mean girls) smack unsuspecting victims and then post their stinging faces and shocked screams on Vine.”

Here's How How Many Licks It Takes To Get To Tootsie Pop Center
29 jul 2013 14:40
How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop? Blog Critics: “The world may never know.” Wiki Answers: “Large licks: 423. Small licks: 752.” Askville: “As the popular commercial explained…The world may NEVER know. If Mr. Owl couldn’t make it past THREE, we probably will not ever find out. Cute question. lol.” Yahoo! Answers: “Technically speaking, if you weren’t planning on actually eating it, you could smash it in with a hammer or some sort of blunt or sharp object. You’d still get to the center, and in this case it would take zero licks.” Point is, there is no ONE answer to this most important question once asked by a dumb kid talking to a kid. That didn’t stop Mark Holland from daring to dream, though, in the name of SCIENCE. His findings:

Dead Princess Peach Fan Art Is A Thing That Exists
29 jul 2013 14:35
If you're like me, you've been killed by a Spiny on level 4 of Super Mario Bros. and thought, "f**k rescuing the Princess, I hope she dies and all the good and bad characters in this universe have to gather together to mourn her." If so, perhaps you're primed to enjoy DEAD PRINCESS PEACH FAN ART. It's probably passé to pull the "this is weird" card on the Internet in 2013, but the above piece from DeviantArt user WiL-Woods blew up on Reddit today and sent me down a rabbit hole of alternately well-drawn and farted-out-with-MS-paint pieces about Princess Peach being murdered and/or mourned several years after her passing. It probably says something horrible about gamers' opinions of women and the culture that created the Dead Island bloody boobs statue, but WHO KNOWS? It is impossible to tell. I've collected a few of my favorites after the jump. Word of advice to anybody who wants to see Peach die: just don't play Mario games. If Mario doesn't save her, she dies, right? That's Bowser's end game, isn't it? Problem solved, and you didn't have to spend all week drawing a fictional lady's guts.

Lake Ubari, The Worlds Magical Treasure.
29 jul 2013 13:48

Lake Ubari is one of the few lakes left in the Libian desert that's more than 100,000 years old. Scientists claim that there used to be a huge water ecosystem, which dried down to around 20 little lakes. The desert mirage might not always be a hallucination after all. This magical slice of paradise is a huge tourist attraction, and it's easy to see why.

"My father was dark skinned, because he was Tatar, sometimes Tatars can look Brazilian," she says. "I get my light eyes from my mother." She's definitely one of the lucky gene gifted people. Talk about sex appeal! Meow.

Jim Knox Interviews Baby, Calls It A Girl (It's A Boy)
29 jul 2013 03:07
We’ve all been there, especially if we’ve ever waited tables. “What’s her name?” “Mark” “Mark? Mark! Looking good…OK!” Here, oft-failing Texas Rangers reporter Jim Knox learns a valuable lesson about The Pronoun Game. You can never assume the sexual identity of a baby, especially not in 2013, even if they’re wearing a bright pink onesie that says I’M A GIRL across the front of it. “What’s the little one’s name” would’ve worked well. Also, NOT INTERVIEWING BABIES. That poor dad. Look at him! Or … uh, I guess maybe “that poor mom?” I don’t want to assume. That poor person holding that non-specific child-shaped happening looks so sad.

John Travolta: Ruining Alcohol (And Brazil) Like He Ruined Christmas
29 jul 2013 03:05
Back in December, John Travolta teamed up with Grease co-star Olivia Newton John to cover ‘This Christmas,’ instantly ruining music, holiday fun and the way we comfortably view peoples’ faces forever. “This is as bad as it gets,” you might’ve thought to yourself. “At least I can still get drunk and enjoy warm weather.” Now, thanks to his heart-stopping appearance in a Brazilian liquor commercial, John Travolta has ruined drinking and warm weather. Also sports, friendship, handshakes and hats. Here’s the clip, in its original (I’m assuming) 240p glory.

Anna Kendrick Showed Off 'Loser Faces' On 'Comedy Bang! Bang!'
29 jul 2013 03:04
During friend of the blog Scott Aukerman’s live chat with us earlier this week, I forgot to ask him one very important question: Anna Kendrick perfect. OK, maybe that’s not so much a question as it is a FACT, one that anyone who watched last night’s series best episode of Comedy Bang! Bang! on IFC knows is true. Kendrick’s the Batdance of people, and in “Anna Kendrick Wears a Patterned Blouse & Burgundy Pants,” the Pitch Perfect star answered questions about singing, Chinese vampires, and the terrible things she did when she time traveled to the past. (Apparently, Jesus was a carpenter.) But my favorite bit of hers, minus her explanation of why she’s not racist, it was just a misunderstanding, was when she showed Blog Gawkerman her “Oscar loser faces.”

The Memorable Wiener Of Jim Haslett

I’m not sure what to take from that, but the theory from the Packers fan in that thread makes a lot of sense to me.

Latest movie trailer for Cheech & Chong's Animated Movie

In a double whammy of breaking news, Cheech and Chong made an animated movie, and that movie has a trailer. Yes, the movie was actually written by Cheech and Chong. I don’t want to say the jokes are lazy, but there’s a box in there that literally just says “Munchies.” That’s like the political cartoon equivalent of a drawing of a guy wearing a shirt that says “politician.” You can watch the trailer below, but be warned, a few of the jokes reference drugs.

Justin Bieber Was Photographed Spitting On His Fans
29 jul 2013 02:58
Another day, another item in the Justin Bieber bag of douche. The 19-year-old tween idol was caught on camera hawking a mouthful of saliva over a hotel balcony in Toronto Thursday – as a throng of Beliebers were gathered outside to catch a glimpse of their hero. The pictures show an unidentified friend of the Biebs laughing at the crude prank. The ill-advised loogie comes less than two weeks after an Ohio DJ charged Bieber with spitting on him at a Columbus night club. And in March, Bieber’s Calabases, CA, neighbor claimed the pop star spit on him during an argument stemming from complaints about Bieber’s reckless driving in the gated community. Aw, like any Canadian pop star, he’s going through his “gobbing” phase. Next up: a trip to Hot Topic.

Statue Reveals That Fighters Have Always Dealt With Cauliflower Ear
29 jul 2013 02:55
While it’s obviously no secret that men have been fighting for the entertainment of others for thousands of years, it’s always pretty interesting to see the differences between the pugilists of yesteryear and our trained fighters of today. For instance, while today’s UFC stars are busy worrying about contracts and bonuses, I’m sure the fighters of Ancient Rome were more likely concerned with other trivial things like waking up tomorrow and not being slaves. Basically, it’s tomato and tomahto. One thing that seems to be a constant for fighters throughout time, though, seems to be the treatment of cauliflower ear, as Manhattan’s Dr. Jeffrey Levine has discovered evidence of cauliflower ear treatment on the Ancient Roman statue, “Boxer at Rest.”

Nymphomaniac teaser video: Shia Labeouf tries to do British accent

Yew sound loik yow from Lawndawn! Yesterday brought us the latest (NSFW) still from Lars Von Trier’s Nymphomaniac, and today we have a teaser clip from the same “chapter,” which is called “Jerome.” It details young Joe – Charlotte Gainsbourg’s character, the younger version of whom is played by Stacy Martin – and her sexual encounter with dopey oaf Shia Labeouf and his weird combover. In this clip, he gets to try out his English accent! (I think?) Doing sex scenes, speaking in a British accent… Shia’s really making a play for “serious actor” status here. I heard he also wanted to wear Holocaust pajamas and play the cello but was overruled. “So Lars, I was really thinking my character should speak in iambic pentameter–no wait, hear me out….”

Singing Happy Birthday Makes Cake Better, Says Science
29 jul 2013 02:52
SH*T JUST GOT REAL. The study, published in the upcoming issue of the journal Psychological Science, finds that the ritual of singing before eating a slice of cake, or any other dessert, increases one’s appreciation of the treat. The result is that the food ends up tasting better, at least in our minds. The “Happy Birthday to You” song hasn’t even been around for 100 years, though the Guinness World Records does call it the most recognizable song in the English language. So, is it the song itself or the ritual? University of Minnesota psychologist Kathleen Vohs found that this ritual even extends beyond singing to include such practices as how one opens a candy bar wrapper. (via The Sideshow) Yes, folks, somebody used science to prove, “if you want food, you’ll like having the food.” Hey Psychological Science, I used my bathroom this morning to prove that taking a dump is a more satisfying experience when your ass is full of sh*t, and you aren’t trying to squeeze out air bubbles. Put me in your magazine! If that’s not good enough, I’ve compiled a second study: cake tastes better when it’s free. Proof:

Drunk Amy Poehler Explained Billy Joel's Whole Career
29 jul 2013 02:51
I take back all the mean stuff I’ve said about you, NBC, especially about your game and reality shows. All of your misdeeds have been forgiven, after a delightfully drunk Amy Poehler went on Hollywood Game Night and proceeded to explain the existence of Billy Joel. And curl Maya Rudolph’s hair. And playfully flirt with Jane Lynch. But back to Joel, he of the world’s greatest photo. I guess there’s a game on Hollywood called “How Do You Doo?” (painfully, thank you), in which contestants have to substitute the lyrics of songs with the non-word “doo.” Rudolph, as well as Jason Sudeikis and Sean Hayes, were pros, the kind of players you’d want on your charades team. Poehler, though, you’d still want her on your team, but only to make yourself look better (except literally).
