The big Consumer Electronics Show (CES) is going on in Las Vegas right now and that means that there are a bunch of new tech inventions being revealed to the public. One of which is catching the attention of most people attending. It’s called the “Smart Fork” and it hates you. Ok, maybe it just doesn’t want you to be fat anymore but it feels like it hates you! What it actually does is…
If you were given 196 seconds inside a HUGE electronics store, what would you grab? I think the guy in this video has the same idea as me, first the TV’s, then the Apple section! Check out this guys amazingly lucky opportunity to go CRAZY inside an electronics store.
Ever wanted to know what our founding fathers looked like dressed up as Justice League characters? Yeah, me either. Although I’m pretty sure this guy didn’t actually DRAW on the bills, it’s still pretty cool looking. This is a series of US bank notes defaced (technically refaced) with Justice League characters by artist Aslan Malik. Who knew Thomas Jefferson liked to cross dress?
Sometimes the name you WANT to name your kid has already been tarnished by a song. So you can forget about naming her Roxanne thanks to The Police, or Eleanor Rigby (very upsetting) because of the Beatles. Huffingtonpost.com made a list of women’s names that have been ruined by songs over the years. Some of them you have heard of but there are a bunch that are a little obscure. The list is longer than 23 but that’s all I felt like giving you, so deal with it…

This is probably one of my favorite updates that Facebook has done in a long time. Their Messenger App on iPhone and Android devices has just updated in the last day or so to include voice messaging. If you have had a smartphone a while then you may have apps like HeyTell or Voxer that you can use to send short voice recordings instantly back and forth with your friends. Facebook has taken that…
Even though I buy the big protective cases for my phones I still wouldn’t let anyone drop it from SPACE! They must have a lot of confidence in their case OR they don’t care about the phone they are dropping and can afford to buy another (Some of us can’t do that!). Either way, they attached it to a balloon and sent it flying, just to prove that their case could take the hit…will it make it?

There are some amazing scientific experiments that happen everyday that you never hear about, I’m not sure if this is one of them but it’s an interesting idea.
Scientists are thinking about capturing an asteroid out of space and dragging it into the orbit of the moon, giving the moon a moon. Don’t worry though, the asteroid is only going to be about 20 feet in size. The guys from NASA say this:
With the amazing games that are out now, we have all been waiting patiently for a Jurassic Park game that would knock our socks off. Even if before this moment you had never even thought of it, you always wanted one. Why? Just watch this video of the game a couple amatuer designers want to make a reality…
I have the memory of a knat so thankfully someone took every highlight from the entire year of 2012 and smashed it down to 4 minutes. I had forgotten so many things that happened so it was nice to be reminded. What do you remember?
It’s a classic parenting dilemma of the digital age: You want your kid to have that shiny new smartphone, but don’t want that to lead to an ongoing power struggle over how it can and can’t be used. It seems Janell Burley Hofmann, a blogger and mother of five, has found a solution. She gave her 13-year-old son Gregory an iPhone for Christmas. But it came with a catch, an 18-point contract outlining how Gregory’s new toy can and can’t be used. Hofmann published the contract on her personal website, and it provides some pretty interesting food for thought.
The note begins:
Merry Christmas! You are now the proud owner of an iPhone. Hot Damn! You are a good & responsible 13 year old boy and you deserve this gift. But with the acceptance of this present comes rules and regulations. Please read through the following contract. I hope that you understand it is my job to raise you into a well rounded, healthy young man that can function in the world and coexist with technology, not be ruled by it. Failure to comply with the following list will result in termination of your iPhone ownership.
From there it outlines, point by point, Gregory’s contractual obligations as a brand new iPhone owner. Read the rules she laid out for him including “No Porn” after the jump…
