Hasta La Gadget!

One fan underestimated the power of Miami Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton. During the 2014 Home Run Derby on Monday, a man in the stands named Jordan Jacobson attempted to barehand one of Stanton’s home run balls.

Your typical ninja is a person of stealth wearing all black and carrying swords that look more sinister than cute. I wonder if there was ever a group of ninja’s that liked to add a little color and flare to their dark costumes. If so, these Blades of the Rainbow Ninja would be perfect for them.

The Rainbow knives come in a set of two swords or a set of three knives, and are made from stainless steel with a titanium coating.

Three students at MIT, Kyle Hounsell, Kristine Bunker, and David Donghyun Kim, have created a homemade ice cream printer that extrudes soft serve and immediately freezes it so that it can be layered on a cooled plate. The system is a proof-of-concept… Read More

It was inevitable that once the meme ‘tweetstorm’ was trademarked, ‘timeline colonialism’ would become Twitter’s
latest craze. Odd that something as common as sending multiple tweets
in succession to make a point needed an identity before it could
actually become part of the Twittersphere’s zeitgeist.

Looks like DirecTV is poised to offer cord-cutters a big bucket of NFL, no satellite contract required: AppleInsider just found this unannounced promotional page promising all the out-of-market live games you can watch, every Sunday, starting at $200.
