Angry Birds invades Spain, and nothing you can do will stop it
May 17 by James Mowery | add commentI was previously one of those guys who argued that Angry Birds was incredibly overhyped, but I realize now that there is no getting away from it. No matter what you or I do, Angry Birds are going to be flying, screaming, and destroying pigs wherever we go. So we might as well embrace it; we know the Spaniards are. more »

May 17 by James Mowery | add commentIf you were in London recently and watched the 2011 FA Cup Final (it’s a football soccer thing) at Wembley, you would have been part of history — the world’s largest 360-degree panoramic photo was shot there.

RIP print media
May 16 by Connor Livingston | 5 commentsPrint is dead. It isn’t dying. There is no chance of a resurrection. It’s done. Gone. Save the trees! Or is it?

Lego Super-8 camera only further proof that Lego really can solve every problem
May 16 by Ty Dunitz | 2 commentsI dream of a world wherein we’ve built everything out of Lego, simply because we can. A post-apocalyptic future after which we’ve rebuilt humanity from the ground up with naught but our wits and Lego. I have yet to see a task that can’t be handled with a few cogs of Lego Technic and a pair of capable hands, more »

Finally, something that Color is good for
May 14 by JD Rucker | add commentIt isn’t common for a startup to be met with as much scorn and criticism as Color. Even before it officially launched, it was being called a waste of VC money, just another image sharing app, and confusing to use. It just didn’t seem like it could be used for anything… useful. Now, our friends at Namesake found more »
Getting your Oona on
May 13 by Ty Dunitz | 1 commentIt’s a camera mount! It’s a smartphone stand! It’s a dashboard GPS adapter! It’s a chunk of aluminum with a suction cup stuck to it! Following the time-honoured tradition of giving one’s tech product or service a bizarre, silly-sounding name, the Oona (pronounced ‘Oona’) makes resoundingly clear more »

The best ways to beat information overload
May 11 by Navneet Alang | 4 commentsThere once was a time on this grand internet of ours that finding information was hard. You knew there was lots of it out there, but actually getting to it took real work. Now, in 2011, we have the opposite problem. We have too much information.
