This week you may have heard about "Chrome," a new Web browser being developed by Google (if you haven't, read this online comic book that demonstrates its worthiness).

Yeah, I know, it sounds a bit dry; how could a chart of microprocessor stats be awesome? Well, just look at it! It’s glorious! And huge! It’s so very complete and monolithic that I just have to stand in awe of it. There’s just so much… information! It’s organized by date, by core, by what have you, and having it visualized is a revelation. I like the color scheme, too. There’s lots of them and ...

Dial 47 90 369389, and your voice will be projected through the telemegaphone and across the scenic Nordic landscape. Sing, yell, yodel, pontificate. Better ...

I think this is a great concept and should be applied to every gym. In fact, they should make every gym machine so it can re-charge itself and other gadgets such as your cellphone. The Green Microgym recently opened in Portland, Oregon - in addition to using solar panels and ...

Recently I’ve been using Twitter to publish little “what’s Matt up to?” messages (which you see in the home page’s sidebar). After a few days, I discovered that it had completely superseded my use of instant messaging… I can follow other people’s status updates and reply back to them, but without having to have a realtime conversation to the exclusion of whatever else I’m working on. This brought to my attention a trend in how ...

He placed the resulting solution on a shelf in his laboratory at the Niels Bohr Institute. It was subsequently ignored by the Nazis who thought the jar—one of perhaps hundreds on the ...
