In loose lips news, this is a video testing the Air Force’s new ‘Quicksink’ missile, capable of splitting even large ships in two and sending them to Davey Jones’s locker in a hurry. Wow! Thank goodness these didn’t exist when I was a pirate! “When were you a pirate?” During

Researchers at the University of Tokyo have found that adding robotic googly eyes that turn to gaze at pedestrians the car has identified help make them safer, by letting humans know the car has recognized them and (hopefully) won’t run them over. Plus the cars look way friendlier too —

Note: If you search for NASA DART on Google you get an Easter Egg. NASA successfully smacked an asteroid with a spacecraft traveling at 14,000 MPH in an attempt to alter its trajectory in a first-ever test of planetary defense, should an asteroid ever be discovered that’s on a collision

The tuned mass damper is a massive 16-foot, 660-metric ton sphere suspended between the 88th and 92nd floors of the building that swings to counteract any movement

Because yellow tape means nothing to a robot, this is a video of a Serve autonomous food delivery bot casually entering a cordoned off crime scene in Los Angeles to deliver its food payload. I guess Serve forgot to include some police protocol programming for the robot. Obviously, it’s only

This is a video documenting launch day of the iMac at a CompUSA store in Alexandria, Virginia on August 15, 1998 — just over 24 years ago. The interviews with the Apple reps and customers are great. As my mom would say, it’s a real hoot. I remember when I
