It’s a gadget-overload world. Society and advancing technologies are making us more gadget heavy than ever, by far. It’s not even close. A recent study showed that we carry 2.9 gadgets on average. To put that into perspective, we have more gadgets on us at any one time than most of have arms. Smartphones are the obvious winner in the gadgets-on-hand segment, followed by laptops and a growing number of tablets that are approaching the half-way mark.

I don’t want my iPod engraved.” In a world where automation is in order processing is the key to success for companies like Apple and Amazon, one should just leave forms like these blank rather than leave instructions that only humans can comprehend. Don’t kid yourself. There’s no human on the other end of the form. It’s only the Matrix…

You can mark this one down for the “do not try this at home” category for two reasons. The first is pretty obvious.

Check out this strangely compelling video as a pair take on on a journey of their Extreme Dyson Test. The video by Photonicinduction never mentions why they decided to light the ground on fire before sucking the fire out of combustible existence with their…

There’s a reason why it used to take a special type of computer to run Crysis. The same holds true for motor heads. Squeezing out a few extra horses from a modified engine has helped to bring the highest levels of technology to garages across the globe and continues to give us more parts to the Fast and the Furious movie series. When Chevrolet unveiled the 2014 Corvette C7 Stingray, the excitement didn’t just center around the first…

It’s a coin on a treadmill. That’s it. The coin is rolling on a treadmill for over an hour. There are a few notes of “exciting” things that happen below, but otherwise, it’s just a treadmill with a coin rolling on it. For an hour. Now, think about the science behind it, though. That’s where there’s at least a bit of coolness. If you were asked if a coin could roll on a treadmill non-stop for an hour, you’d probably say it was possible but it would be hard to get the speed adjusted to just the right point to keep it from falling off either end. Not so! Here are the spoilers: 06:09 to 08:50 attempts with another coin,…

Next to computers, tablets, and smartphones, our cars are often the most technologically-challenging item that we deal with on a daily basis. Every model year brings out new gadgets and gizmos that are designed to enhance, adapt, and often-times engage with other technologies that we carry with us. Tablets are used as owners’ manuals. MP3 players have become our stereos. Speakers and mics interact with our phones for hands-free driving. These are the common examples. Today’s cars can do so much more. The advertising on the OEM level often focuses on technology. Why do so few dealers do the same?…
