UNStudio has created a beautifully constructed archway that brightens up the retail sphere of Xintiandi Mall in China. Because it’s lined with mirrors, you can track your movements from beginning to end and watch your surroundings skip playfully across the different planes of the mall’s entrance. It’s like walking down the inside of a wormhole—except you stay safely grounded in both time and space.
The Easter egg—as in a hidden surprise or in-joke, not the chocolate treat—can be dated back to the last Russian imperial family who gifted people with jewel-encrusted Fabergé eggs containing additional surprises tucked away inside.

It seemed like the inevitable future at the time, we’re sure. On April 20th in 1964, Bell Telephone showed off the Mod 1 Picturephone — a precursor to the Skype and Hangouts video calls that have become a standard but under-utilized feature of…
The intoxicating effects of cannabis have skyrocketed in the last 50 years as the plant’s rapidly widening acceptance has spurred a race among growers to produce ever more potent strains. But even the stickiest of the ickiest buds top out at 25 percent THC per unit weight and, for a new generation of connoisseurs, that isn’t good enough.
The Power Press Pushup by Maximum Fitness Gear promises to "maximize push ups like never before." Maximum Fitness Gear is pushing this piece of exercise equipment as "revolutionary" and "innovative," guarantying "extreme results." But how "revolutionary" is a push up board that just changes your hand position in a push up?
Scientists have long suspected that THC somehow affects the hippocampus region of the brain, the bit responsible for controlling short-term memory, but they have never been able to prove it. Turns out that’s because they were looking at the wrong grey matter.
With Earth Day round the bend, you’d expect to hear some positive news regarding our planet and the celestial bodies that surround it; instead we have some not-so-good-news. According to … Continue reading
It looks like the first generation Apple TV units are unable to connect to iTunes. Users from around the world seem to be facing this issue. This was first reported on April 17th when a thread was started on Apple’s official support forums. By now that thread has become quite lengthy with repeated complaints by first-gen Apple TV users who are unable to make their set-top boxes connect to iTunes. The first generation Apple TV was released back in 2007 and the company sold it until 2010, so there are quite a few of them out there.
One poster described that this simply happened out of nowhere. He had full access to iTunes Store the night before, but in the morning it started displaying an “iTunes Store Not Available” message. Access completely disappeared, except for movie trailers, after he unplugged the Apple TV.
In the thread, users say that they have gone through a variety of processes to try and get iTunes back. Rebooting and even restoring the software doesn’t help, the first generation Apple TV is simply unable to connect to the iTunes Store.
Apple hasn’t commented on this as yet, so it is unclear if the company has already started working on a fix or not. We’ll keep our eyes peeled and will let you know as soon as we hear more.

Recently we picked up on a rumor about Motorola launching a new smartphone this May. Apparently this device will arrive in three different models and will primarily be destined for emerging markets. Latest reports suggest that this smartphone might be called Moto E, and much like the existing Moto G, it may be slim, compact and competitively priced. It is actually expected to be thinner than the Moto G.
Though it might not differ that much from the existing mid-range smartphone as far as specifications are concerned. Rumor has it that Moto E is going to have a 720p 4.3-inch display, 1.2GHz dual-core processor coupled with 1GB of RAM, 4GB of onboard storage with possibility of external expansion, a 1,900mAh battery as well as a 5 megapixel rear camera. Android 4.4 KitKat might come preinstalled, along with support for 2G/3G and digital TV.
Leaked specifications put the dimensions at 124.8 x 64.8 x 6.2 mm, it would be significantly thinner than Moto G, which comes in a 11.6 mm. The rumor comes in from Mexico where this smartphone is expected to sell for $230 off contract. It makes sense for Motorola to launch it in Latin America first. The company has already seen success in the market with Moto G’s help, particularly in Brazil and Mexico. No word as yet when Moto E is going to be released, and if it will make its way to the U.S. as well.
