What is it about slow motion effects that scare us so? The day already brought us a slow-mo pageant girl videos and now the screeching sound of dial-up internet connection has gotten the treatment as well.

Hacking group A-Team has some choice words about rival (and now disbanded) group LulzSec, which claimed responsibility for several high profile attacks in the past two months.

Japanese YouTuber Ron Tajima likes to build robots. Not necessarily the kind of robots that are going to revolutionize manufacturing as we know it, but the kind that will turn from a beer can into a cute little creature or from a Roomba into a baby cradle.

Being out and about and having your cell phone battery die has to be one of the most irritating first-world problems in existence.

A bill has passed in Nevada that makes it legal for Google’s fleet of driverless cars to take to the state’s roads.

Ah, Prince. Whether he’s changing his name to a symbol, scrawling slogans on his face, threatening to sue his fans, or publicly daydreaming about a world in which no one is allowed to cover his songs, he’s always good for a provocative quote or two.
His latest interview, with the UK’s Guardian, didn’t disappoint.
The hacker group that in the past two months has breached numerous corporation and government websites has announced that it’s finished.
LulzSec, short for Lulz Security, says it only wanted to operate for 50 days to try to revive the AntiSec movement, which is opposed to the computer security industry.
If you didn’t already know that slow-motion effects make everything look way cooler, direct your attention to this mesmerizing video in which everyday stuff like water and metal vibrate at 1,000 frames per second (compare that to typical TV and movie shots, which are typically 24, 25 and 30 FPS).
The video was produced by Propadata Films for Fluke Corporation, a Washington-based manufacturer of electronic test equipment, and they’ve promised to release a making-of video — look for that on Fluke’s YouTube page in the near future.
You know the drill. You get to the bottom of a bowl of soup or the milk remnants of your morning cereal, and you’re left with two choices: spoon up the rest in tiny increments, or tip the bowl to your face like a four-year-old.

For the low, low price of $100,000, you don’t have to worry about replacing a dull razor blades for 10 whole years!
The Zafirro Iridium razor features solid white sapphire blades, which are hypoallergenic and almost completely resistant to oxidation and corrosion. But it’s actually the razor’s handle, made from the rare metal iridium, that makes the Zafirro so absurdly expensive.
Abandoned as a puppy when his owners fled their foreclosed-upon Nebraska home, Naki’o lost all four of his paws to severe frostbite after stepping into a freezing puddle in the home’s abandoned basement. He was rescued, but forced to crawl on his belly to get around. Happily, new owner and veterinary technician Christie Tomlinson successfully organized a fundraiser to have Naki’o’s two back legs fitted with OrthoPets prosthetics. When Naki’o enthusiastically took to his new hind-legs like they were the real deal, OrthoPets founder Martin Kaufmann decided to complete the set free of charge, making Naki’o is the first dog to ever be fitted with four prosthetic limbs.
