Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey is visually stunning. And the closer you examine, the more exquisite details you’ll find. That’s what Dave Addey has done in his in-depth, scene-by-scene examination of how this cinema masterpiece used typography to create a familiar yet still distant future.

HTC must feel that it’s best to underpromise and overdeliver. While the company told American One owners that they wouldn’t get KitKat on time, the 535MB Android upgrade is already available on Sprint; eager subscribers just have to check for an …

These days, many of us have multiple places where we store contact information. For myself, I have a list of contacts in my personal email account, my work email account, contacts within some of the social networks I belong to, and then a master list on my computer. With all of the different places where we have lists of contacts, it can get a bit confusing and hard to manage. To help manage all of your contacts online is a service called Keepm. It simplifies the process of managing your contacts and places them all in one place. Today we’ll be taking a look at some of what Keepm offers.
The first thing you’ll want to do to get started is sign-up for an account. If you don’t have an account, you can’t use the service. All you’ll need is your name and a valid email address and you’ll be ready to go.
There are a couple of options for adding contacts. The first is to simply click on the “Add New Contact” tab and manually enter a contact. If you decide to go this route, you’ll enter in a first and last name and submit it. It’ll add that person as a contact and then you can go in and add all of the vital information like email address and website. Below is an image of what a contact sheet looks like:
You can also import your contacts which is one of the most import aspects of the whole service. You do this by clicking the “Import Contacts” tab and then you’ll be guided through the process. Import methods are as follows:
If you decide to import an address book, you can choose from the following services:
After I signed-up for an account, I decided that I would import my contacts from my Gmail account. All I had to do was enter in my user login and password (rest assured, that they do not store your login information). Then Keepm very quickly pulled up a list of all of the contacts I had within my Gmail account. I was able to select or deselect the contacts that I wanted to be imported. Once I chose all of the contacts I wanted, I clicked “import” and it imported all of the information I had for each contact. The process was started and finished within minutes.
Just as you can import your contacts, you can also export them as well. You’ll just click the “Export” tab and then choose which contacts you want to export. You’ll also be able to choose your export method. If you want it as a V-card, you can do that. If you want it as a .CSV file, you can do that as well. Once you’ve selected your contacts and the method you want to use, you’ll be all set to export them.
Keepm does have some nice features. One of the best features is that you can add up to 3 tags for each contact. I ended up using the tags “family” and “friends” quite frequently. If I quickly wanted to view my family members, I could just search using the family tag and it would pull everybody up that I had tagged.
Additional features include:
The one thing that I noticed that was missing was additional tracking tools like being able to see birthdays or anniversaries that are coming up. They also don’t provide any type of demo before signing up which would be nice to have as well. All in all though, if you’re looking for a simple contact management solution, Keepm is great. Any other ideas for managing your contacts?

You’ve probably seen plenty of headlines this week proclaiming "Stephen Hawking Says Black Holes Don’t Exist," and heard people who read those headlines chattering excitedly about this seemingly huge shift in astrophysics. But as PopMech wisely points out, that’s not an accurate summary of what Hawking actually said.

This graphic by NASA shows the ISS compared to a football field. They’re more or less the same size: A football field is 360 by 160 foot. The space station is 356 by 239 feet.

Getting sniffy?

Have you noticed that not everyone cares too much about the odor they emit?
Do you recoil at times when you walk past an apparently pleasant-looking person, as the olfactory experience they incite might call for fumigation?
I confess that one place where this might be an extreme problem is the Apple store.
Apple stores are so full of humanity at most times of the day. One has to squeeze through, in order to venerate a product or two.
A report suggests that Apple is aware of this slightly stinky problem. Rocco Pendola of the Street says that the very nice Apple store on Third Street in Santa Monica, Calif., has a terrible B.O. issue.
He says two Apple store employees confirmed to him that the store is stinky.

It’s not something you can ever expect.
It was 7:40 a.m. in the Middle School of the Kennebunks in Maine. A teen girl sat down in her classroom.
Then she heard a pop emanating from her back pocket. As Seacoast Online reports, before she knew it, her back pocket appeared to be on fire. She then reportedly fell to the ground, rolled, and tried to get out of her pants.
A teacher grabbed a blanket and fellow students tried to help.
The culprit is said to have been her iPhone. Images suggest it had caught fire.

If you didn’t spend this week stranded on an icy highway, you spent it reading about people stranded on an icy highway. But there was plenty of other stuff going on, including our review of LG’s puzzling curved phone and a troubling look at the incomplete state of Sochi’s Olympic facilities. Here’s what went on this week.
