Review: The Nintendo 3DS, The Next Step In Portable Gaming Evolution
Nintendo has long defined the rules of childhood. In Nintendo’s world, logic and whimsy are intermixed and there is always a bigger boss and another castle.

We learned that the best stories are played out in your head and even when you don’t have a lot of friends you at least always have Mario. Nintendo also defined video gameplay. Their NES console, while seemingly underpowered, sat under ...

Mechanical bird flaps its wing to fly, just like the real thing
Real birds make it look easy, but it turns out that making something that can fly by flapping its wings is incredibly difficult. That didn't stop the folks at Festo's Bionic Learning Network from creating this elegant autonomous Herring Gull, that can fly using no propulsion other than its wings.

New Fancy iPhone Case Puts A Watch On The Back
Say, for sake of argument, you’re a moron. What kind of case would you put on your iPhone ? Would it be inexpensive, made of rubber, and offer protection for your device? Or would it be made of delicate brown leather and feature a De Bethune pocket watch with a DB 1024 movement stuck on the back so you can read the time either by looking at your case or by, you know, turning the freaking thing around. This ignores the fact that you’d have a piece ...

I, For One, Welcome Our New Dancing Android Overlords
Little known (and completely false) fact: once upon a time, the Android Robot (the platform’s lovable lil’ green logo) entered a dance contest. First place was a lucrative dance contract with one of the world’s finest agencies, with dancing gigs from Paris to Rome. Second place meant you got to dance next to a Sony Ericsson stand in Taiwan. Needless to say, Android didn’t get first. Also, I find it amazing that a guy in a massive inflatable rubber suit can still dance considerably better than I can.

Tonight’s moon will be a super perigee moon (a close approaching full moon). The moon is predicted to appear 15% bigger and 30% brighter than normal, according to NASA. Also, it is expected to be a rare event — the biggest in almost 20 years; next in 2029. That whole “once in a blue moon” thing only happens every two-and-a-half years. The best time to view the moon will be near sunset. A low-hanging moon looks larger just over the horizon due to an optical illusion (e.g. ...
