Head over to Indiegogo today and you'll find a particularly wacky (and risky) project bidding for your investment. It's a device that goes by the name of No More Woof, which admittedly sounds like it does horrible things...

We no longer live on Earth, my friends. We're in some weird world where people can do the impossible. Do you want to fly? You should try. Do you want to spin in the air in both directions? I think you can. Because this i...

For all we know, the personal jetpack that will let you fly through the air like an eagle may never become a reality. So this X2 Underwater Jet Pack, from S.C.P. Marine Innovation in the UK, could very well be the next b...

Good news, everyone! We may have detected our first exomoon outside a solar system. It orbits a gas giant 1800 light years away from us, and it's half the size of Earth--just like the famous Yavin IV from which the Rebel...

If there was one ubiquitous item at NYU's ITP Winter Show, it was the Kinect. Countless projects were built around the Microsoft-made sensor. Max Ma's Touchless, which he built with a ton of help from Tony Lim, originall...

The wait is almost over! Despite having said it would come out in January, the Obama Administration hustled and released a report from the advisory committee set up to recommend changes to the NSA. And, my, are those cha...

If you believe common wisdom, it shouldn't be possible to take over most webcams without alerting users. The indicator LED is supposed to be hack-proof, after all. However, a pair of Johns Hopkins researchers have recent...

The Adventures of a Village begins like many stories do--by setting the scene. In this case, a small cluster of snow-covered buildings are intersected by winding train tracks. That's it. What happens next is a clever pla...

Berkeley scientists just generated a pristine genome sequence of Neanderthal DNA--the most complete ever created--and what they found might gross you out. It might also blow your mind.

The folks responsible for devices like the MX, MX2, and MX3 inside China are letting it be known this week that they’ll soon enter the USA. As we saw all the way back in 2012, the Meizu MX was the start of something bi...

From 1983 to 1993 DARPA spent over $1 billion on a program called the Strategic Computing Initiative. The agency's goal was to push the boundaries of computers, artificial intelligence, and robotics to build something th...

You don't have to have a mustache and dress like it's the thirties to take pleasure in the craft and science of coffee. All that is required is attention to detail, a few minutes of your time, and tastebuds. Here are a f...

Hanging ornaments is a silly tradition. We kill a tree, wrap it in lights, then fishhook it with glass balls. But every ornament is more than its glitter and paint. It's a memory.

AMC Networks launched its Yeah! streaming service at SXSW 2013, and this week's debut marks the first major update since the platform's introduction back in March. Yeah! will be coming to iPad tomorrow, with a free appli...

While it’d be easier to think that the world was moving towards an all-mobile environment for consuming media, Hulu suggests today that it’s slightly more complicated than that. Statistics shown by the media delivere...

Meizu, a smartphone company based out of China, has been on the scene for a long time -- it just hasn't officially made its way to the United States (outside of a few online importers, of course). Meizu's ready to expand...

If you’ve ever looked into hiking for a long period of time, you know that one of the biggest issues you might face is getting access to clean water. Food and shelter are obviously the other big problems, but a tent an...

Print will not die, but the web can do lots of things that paper just plain can't. Like Antitype, a very literal interpretation of that ol' revolutionary concept of moveable type. The online project invites coding-inclin...

While the release of a Samsung Galaxy S5 wouldn’t seem to be all that near – surprise – rumor would have it that the company is planning an outing party much earlier in the year than in past generations. What we’...

Although Vine launched on Windows Phone with many core features intact, it didn't come with a draft mode -- if you switched tasks, your hard work (six seconds of it, anyway) went out the window. That won't be an issue wi...

If you've found that the local bird population has been completely ignoring the feeder you hung for them to feast at, maybe the problem doesn't lie with the nuts and seeds you're offering. Maybe it's the feeder itself. A...
