It’s called ‘Foc.us’ and when it’s attached to your head, you will look like this. If you don’t like the standard black color then don’t worry, it also comes in red. But what is this device that you’re ready to empty out your bank account on — if all you have in your bank account
Earlier today I saw someone suggest that most of the people who create such a buzz about Shark Week on social media only watch about one program, and then they just keep talking about Discovery’s most popular week. I tend to agree with that sentiment, because if as many people watched Shark Week as devotedly
Alright conspiracy theorists, you can stop talking about the moment when science develops a method for humans to control other animals. It’s already here, now strap on those tinfoil hats so some shadowy figure in an underground base in Mesa, Arizona can’t control your thoughts. Harvard scientists have created a non-invasive method that enables a
If we can grow teeth, and then create drinking water out of pee, what’s next? Will the next generation of videogame systems in 2021 be able to run on pee? Maybe we can pee into our cars and use that as an alternative fuel source? I don’t know where science is going with all of
Before I make your brain slowly melt inside your head by showing you this time-lapse video of the cosmos as seen from Borrego Springs, California, let me share with you something that a 7-year-old told me this morning at Starbucks. At the heart of everything, we are all locked into one incomprehensible galactic struggle for
I don’t really think I’ll be in any situations in which I’ll be drowning, except for my car possibly falling off a bridge like in Beetlejuice. For years I’ve suspected that falling off a bridge in Autumn on the east coast was how I’d meet my maker so to speak, but it wouldn’t be the
Does taking antibiotics actually make us more susceptible to viruses? That’s one theory on how so called “superbug” strains emerge. Faced with a hostile environment, Darwinian survival of the fittest kicks in and those strains which adjust well to the post-drug microbiological landscape develop into bacteria which is immune to antibiotics previously introduced to the
There’s actually a game released for PC called Faster Than Light (FTL) which is probably the most realistic intergalactic space ship simulator the world has ever seen. Actually, by definition it’s probably the most unrealistic space ship simulator since no one has managed to create a method to make a vessel travel faster than light
When I was in college, I drank a bottle of my own urine for a $5 Barnes and Nobles Gift card, three cans of Natural Light and half of a meatball sub because I was a drunk idiot. It sort of tasted like a warm Powerade. There was also this hot chick that I thought
It starts with Google Glass being released on the heads of every hipster this time next year, and it ends with a Google-branded chip being implanted in the brain of every college kid by 2040. Someone cue the ominous music and Big Brother talk. Google really wants to plant a chip into your head and
Before all of you start grabbing the buzz saw and testing this theory over a game of Pictionary, perhaps you should know that this study was done on flatworms, not humans. Although many flatworms actually have the same organs and bilateral symmetry as humans along with the same neurotransmitters, which is probably why biologists Michael
Remember that machine in Waterworld that turned Kevin Costner’s pee into drinkable water? Well now Sweden has created a machine that will turn Kevin Costner’s sweat into drinkable water. In fact, this machine is so incredible, it will turn anyone’s sweat into a cool glass of liquid refreshment. Yes, every weight cutting session by wrestlers
Aside from thumbing away at Xbox 360, I have one other past time and it involves telling my friend Dave that former LA Lakers coach Phil Jackson is more of a genius than Elon Musk. Basically I present a logical argument that the creation of Tesla by Elon Musk is solely dependent on money, whereas
Two robot stories in two days. Let’s hope this serves as a pardon for when our new DAARPA overlords eventually take over government, replace our food supply with nutrition pills, and force humanity to watch FOX News everyday. We love when robot videos are filmed in what appears to be a make-shift dungeon in their
His name is ATLAS and in enough time you will be forced to lead the human rebellion to overcome the onslaught of his cousins, until a time-traveling ATLAS goes into the past to kill your mother — and then later becomes governor of California, or something. DARPA and Boston Dynamics have teamed up to create
For many this may be redundant, but it bares to be repeated. Frankenstein is not the name of the giant monster you see with plugs emerging from his neck on every Halloween decoration. That’s actually Frankenstein’s monster — Dr. Frankenstein is the person that created the abomination. Therefore when you reference that something looks like
