String, washer, threaded bolt. All you need for a stable camera for about a $1.

John Carmack has advocated a lot of changes to the way GPU's and technology in the gaming industry works. He's probably the one man who can go up to nVidia and AMD and say, "You're doing it wrong, here's how it's done", and they will listen. Plus he has done huge things for indie video game developers by releasing…

Homebrew... 3:1 ratio of mineral spirits to motor oil is the normal recipe, though many a cyclist has tinkered with various ratios and ingredients. Wipe components clean with a rag and apply homebrew mixture liberally and often.

Fantastic! Perfect place to stash my corpses... I mean drug money... I mean porn... yeah, porn. I'll stick with that.

I use Apple lossless (.m4a) ripped from CD's since there is no loss to sound quality and it works well with iPods and most other devices. It converts to .mp3's quite easily if you need smaller file sizes. Some other stuff I have is ripped to ~300kbps VBR MP3 using Foobar2000/LAME, and I can't tell the difference in…

These apps seem like something from a market with little or no demand. Who pays $129 for a banner making app? These aren't worth $50, IMO. I might pay $10 for Smashing Magazine, but you can keep the rest.

It's not dead (yet), it just really really really sucks on mobile devices. It's not hard for sites like Gizmodo to serve Flash videos for devices that support it and HTML5 videos for everything else. That said, Flash is quickly approaching obsolescence as HTML5 becomes more widely adopted.

They want to keep Flash alive on Playbook because it's their one and only selling feature.

Nope. Awesome Bar sends me to a Google search for "Lifehacker".

I wonder how well this works for rock climbing shoes, I tend to chew up the edges of the soles at an alarming rate, rounding them off and needing a resole. Is Sugru fairly grippy, able to bond well with rubber, and not prone to tearing up in chunks?

Sony, Panasonic and Toshiba used to be Japanese knock off brands for TVs manufactured by the likes of Magnavox, Philips and RCA. They started off doing cheap copies of poor quality, followed by very good copies for cheaper, then ultimately took over the innovation. Same thing was done by LG as a Korean knockoff. Now…

Mechanically separated meat (as used in hot dogs, chicken nuggets, etc.) in itself is grosser than you think.

640K on an IBM XT clone (I actually still have it in the basement).

Sagan autotuned sounds like Kermit the Frog.

At first, I thought that was an alien wandering on the horizon at 1:59.

Whatever happened to the edit button?

Vibram Five Fingers are probably great for you. I run with them over all sorts of terrain - concrete, asphalt, grass, dirt, paving stones - the only annoying area on my route is paved with sharp gravel. They are incredibly comfortable.

I run with Vibrams. It takes a little while to get accustomed to them, you have to consciously retrain your brain on how to run. Take it easy the first while to avoid injury, do shorter distances or reps between running and walking. You should feel your calf muscles working more, so don't over stress them, build them…

Pennies were "tossing pennies off a building" myth. They did another one actually shooting bullets straight up (not lethal) and also found evidence of potentially lethal force if the gun was not shot straight up.

OMG! Look at the devastation!
