People Who Are Banned From Technology For These Giant Facepalms (12 photo)

For the brutal destruction of the precious gifts Silicon Valley and Best Buy have given us, we are hereby banning the following people from ever using a piece of technology again. This is punitive, but also to keep innocent hardware safe.

The T-shirt that's IMPOSSIBLE to stain (3 photo + 1 video)

If you're clumsy and constantly spilling food down yourself, or just lazy and don't like washing your clothes, a student has invented the answer to your problems - a T-shirt that is impossible to stain.
The tops can resist any spills and splashes including Coca-Cola, tomato ketchup, mustard, milkshakes, beer, ink and even red wine.

What SteamOS Is, And Why It Matters

In the first of three announcements Valve is running this week about gaming in the living room, they showed their usual modesty and restraint and announced an entire freaking operating system that can stream your entire game library. So what, precisely, is SteamOS? And why is it a big, big deal?What It IsSteamOS is basically a custom operating system built on Linux, that streams games on Steam, that Valve is giving away for free. A good analogy is to think of it as the Android of gaming PCs;...

Apple's New touchID Hacked

These days any device can be hacked, and Apple's new iPhone is no exception. The Choas Computer Club team successfully hacked Apple's touchID technology by using a photographed fingerprint on a glass surface to trick the supposedly-secure sensor. If you rely on your phone for important documents, you're probably better off using the numeric passcode. Oh wait, that's been hacked as well! Perhaps you should just stash your phone in a large safe, grab a shovel, and bury it underground.

The Government Wants You To Unlock Your Phone

A few months back, we told you that Obama had paid lip service to a petition about being able to legally unlock your phone, but that nothing was going to happen from the sound of things. Apparently, we misheard the sound of things, because the White House is actually pushing the FCC to do something.Specifically, the White House has petitioned the Federal Communications Commission to make phone unlocking at any time completely legal. It’s currently illegal because of the Digital Millenium...

iOS 7 Download Is Out, And You Should Update Right Now

Just a friendly reminder: iOS 7, probably the most compelling product Apple talked about last week, is out. If you’ve got an iDevice capable of running it, you need to get it. Why? Glad you asked!Not for the graphics finishes; people will be having a nice rabble rabble about that for days, and it couldn’t matter a bit less. No, what matters is what’s under the hood.The Notification and Control Centers are probably my favorite feature. The Notification Center is a very clean, simple way to...

No, You Shouldn't Buy An iPhone 5S. Here's Why.

The iPhone 5c is pretty. The iPhone 5S is impressive, with bells and whistles like a more advanced camera and a fingerprint scanner. And you shouldn’t buy either of them.I’m not saying this to be contrary, or to pick a fight with Apple fans. I’m saying this because, on a practical level, buying most phones, not just the iPhone, does not make sense anymore.Stop and consider when the iPhone was first introduced, in 2007. There was nothing like it, and it revolutionized smartphones. But the...

So The iPhone 5S Violates Your Constitutional Rights

It’s very rare that an object can violate your Constitution rights just by existing. Leave it to Apple, and the iPhone 5S, to somehow pull this off.Specifically, the iPhone 5S’s fancy new fingerprint scanner basically is an accidental end-run around the Fifth Amendment. How the hell does that work? It comes down to what the Supreme Court has defined as “testimonial,” as Wired breaks down:If the police demand that you give them the key to a lockbox that happens to contain incriminating...

GODZILLA First Look From the New Movie?

This is a licensing Expo poster for the Gareth Edwards directed reboot of Godzilla. A lot of other movie sites seem to believe that this is our first real look at the creature, but I'm not fully convinced. I think they just used that image to slap on a licensing poster, but I don't think it's the real thing. Back at San Diego Comic-Con an up-close image of a face of Godzilla leaked out which you can see here. This looks like a similar design. The thing is... we were told that Godzilla design...

‘Always Sunny’ Gets The ‘Cheers’ Opening Credits Treatment (1 photo + 1 video)

Official Comedy uploaded the below video last Wednesday — the day of the It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia premiere — and I somehow indefensibly didn’t get around to watching it until today. I blame Rum Ham.But now that I have viewed it many, many times I can safely say it is incredible and belongs in a museum and fully endorse the show itself swapping it in for an episode. I mean, the graphics work alone. Just splendid. If you need me I’ll be turning a screengrab of Mac & Charlie at the...

Apple Announces the iPhone 5S and 5C (7 photo)

Apple finally announced its new flagship cellphone, the iPhone 5S. Many of us expected a brand new iPhone 6; unfortunately we were left disappointed. Apple decided to make us wait a year for what simply turned out to be an upgraded version of the iPhone 5.

Yahoo!'s New Logo Isn't As Good As Its Fake Ones (4 photo + 1 video)

In case you’d forgotten, or more likely hadn’t noticed, Yahoo! is rolling out a new logo today, after spending thirty days showing off “old” logos. Yes, they’ve wanted us to get excited over typefaces, and I write “us” because I’ve had a Yahoo! email address for more than a decade now. And above is the end result.First of all, it is kind of condescending to try and get us hyped up over a logo. “Here, get excited about a signifier for a brand that few people will actually care about, and as a...

SKYRIM: INTO THE VOID - Awesome Fan-Made Film

Skyrim: Into the Void. The production quality of the short is actually really impressive, and it has a good amount of action.

New Hi-Res Photos from Darren Aronofsky's "NOAH" (9 photo)

For those of you who are interested in seeing more of Darren Aronofsky's Biblical epic "Noah", here are a few high resolution photos from the film and the set showing off several of the characters in the film. Aronofsky is a crazy talented director, and the fact this is Aronofsky's dream project tells me it's going to be one of his greatest creations. At least that's what I'm expecting! The movie tells the epic biblical story of a prophet who is told by God to build a giant boat that can...
