Since last week we showed you how thieves could hack into your car to disable some security systems, this week, we’re following up with how thieves can now steal your credit card information right out of your back-pocket or purse. (or man-purse if you choose to go that way)...

When scientists with the Center for Automotive Embedded Systems Security (CAESS) tested some recent cars’ security systems by “hacking” into them with an MP3 player hooked up via the OBD-II port, they realized that they could indeed not only hack into the car, but enable and disable some features...

This is this awesome on a new level; to begin with, it looks like it’s right out of Star Wars, secondly it weighs only 2lbs and has a capacity of around 50 shots. Shots can penetrate thin plastic when unfocused, but once focused with a lens, it can pierce...

The massive earthquake 8.9 / 9.0 earthquake that hit Japan last week has not only devastated the country. It’s shifted the earth’s figure axis (the axis balanced by mass) about 15 centimeters and this is going to make days shorter. According to NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory’s (JPL) specialist Richard...

We’ve all heard that beetles and cockroaches can be “mind controlled” by attaching electrodes to their antennae, evoking the reflex which causes them to turn left and right. But now you can do it yourself. If you’re completely devoid of empathy, the RoboRoach Kit is right for you. All...

In 1992, a shipping crate containing app. 28.000 rubber duckies fell overboard from a ship that was carrying it from Hong Kong to the USA. The crate evidently opened somehow and the duckies were spilled. Now, after almost 20 years, they’ve been used to track marine currents as well...

Earlier this month, scientists at the Osaka University announced their development of human shaped cell phones, that feel like real human skin. Yes, you’ve read that right. Human shaped cell phones that feel like real human skin. So naturally, some of the questions that have come to mind are,...

Although it appears doctored, the photo, taken by the Hubble Space Telescope is quite authentic. This is surprising because in nature, and thereby space, regular shapes are stunningly rare. Trees are crooked, seldom are they perfectly straight. The branches have different angles, rarely a perfect regular 90° angle, and...

In what had to have been a spectacular display of astronomical proportions, photos and video of not one, not two, but three suns over Suichuan County in China. The phenomenon is obviously an optical illusion due to the refraction of the sun either onto the clouds or ocean, from...
