Archaeologists in Mexico City made a grisly and awesome discovery this week, after a subway extension project uncovered a stretch of pre-Hispanic development—including four skulls that were once displayed on a broad rack of bones from sacrificial offerings.

The console wars are in full swing, and no contender is more focused on the pure gaming experience as the PS4.
Sony’s next-gen PlayStation is not like the Xbox One, which is leaning more toward the media console space than ever before. Instead, the PS4 is built squarely for the gaming enthusiast.
The PS4 is essentially an x86-based personal computer, making it easy for developers to build new titles and port over PC games, and it comes with a DualShock 4 controller. It’s a beauty, with a Vita-style touchpad and Kinect-like capabilities thanks to a 3D “stereo” camera accessory.
However, is it worth rushing out and getting one right this second?
The PS4 is a beautiful machine that not only enhances graphics but elevates the entire experience. However, game variety is a bit of an issue early on. Plus, the console probably has a pretty long lifespan (at least five years), with price drops along the way.
During winter, one ought to maintain a careful balance between keeping everyone at home warm and cozy, alongside making sure that the electric bill at the end of the month does not throw your monthly budget out of whack. Having said that, it is pretty nice to indulge once in a while, and for some of us, we tend to cozy up to our favorite couch with a nice, thick fleece blanket covering us to keep us nice and warm underneath. That is fine and dandy if you want to sleep, but what happens when you still want to read a book and yet keep most of your body warm? Enter the $159.95 Heated Furniture Cover.
This particular heated furniture cover will be able to offer an instant cozy place to sit during the cold winter months. It is made out of soft microsuede, where the quilted cover will drape over the back, seat and arms of furniture, while sporting a textured backing to make sure that it remains in place. The cover itself will be able to produce an even, all-over warmth which will go a long way in reducing home heating costs simply by targeting heat directly at a room’s occupants. Not only that, thanks to its generous polyester filling within, the embedded heating elements are virtually undetectable for a comfortable lounging experience. There is a tethered controller that lets you play around with the temperature settings; while an auto shut-off feature will turn off heat after four hours.

Anyone who’s ever emptied a pool or stolen gas from a car’s tank knows how a siphon works, but that doesn’t make this 3D printed Wave toy seem any less magical. Seeing it in action you’d assume there was some kind of sorcery involved here, as one side of the Wave draws liquid to the other until both glasses have the exact same amount of liquid. But it’s just well-known scientific principles at work.

Raising a kid is a huge responsibility (and from what I’ve seen my sister go through so far, it’s also the cause of many pains and frustrations.) But the fun thing about babies is that you can dress them up in whatever clothes you want, and they don’t have any say because, well, they don’t really care.
This isn’t exactly an article of clothing. It’s actually a swaddle blanket and it’s designed to turn your baby into a burriTOT! (Sorry, couldn’t resist!) The blanket itself looks like a gigantic tortilla, and your baby is the filling.
Don’t be surprised when people’s heads turn your way when your baby’s wrapped in this and you happen to be out and about, because it’ll probably look like you’re embracing a gigantic burrito.
The Tortilla Baby Swaddle Blanket is available online for $48(USD). Sour cream and guacamole not included.

LG is expected to show off its WebOS TV at CES 2014 next week. But a tweet may have given us an advance preview.
A image tweeted by known leaker @evleaks on Tuesday reportedly of LG’s first WebOS TV offers a peek at the new interface. The TV’s multitasking menu is based on the Cards interface used by Hewlett-Packard for its smartphones — LG bought WebOS from HP almost a year ago specifically for its new smart TVs.
LG has given the menu a different look from Cards but the idea likely remains the same.
All of your open and available apps reside at the bottom of the screen, allowing you to bounce from one to the other. The leaked image shows links for live TV as well as such apps as YouTube, Facebook, and Skype. Also on the menu is LG’s SmartShare, a service that can send photos, music, and videos from your mobile device to your TV.
In December, an LG researcher said that the … [Read more]
