Watch a piece of aluminum levitate and melt at the same time
by Jesus Diaz on Sploid, shared by Jesus Diaz to Gizmodo
PeuaguilarOlha a indução aí
This is an induction heater, an electromagnetic thingamajig that can make metal to levitate and—with enough power—melt. In this case, the metal is a 2.6-gram piece of aluminum that reaches a temperature of 2192 F (1200 C) before the machine is turned off.

Why Take the Stairs When You Can Travel by Pneumatic Tube?
by Adam Clark Estes
It takes work to go upstairs, but it doesn't have to. That's why elevators were invented. If you want an elevator in your home, though, it takes some serious construction. Why not travel through pneumatic tubes like the Jetsons? No, seriously, you can.

You Might Have Free Amazon Money Waiting in Your Inbox
by Brian Barrett
If you're a regular buyer of Kindle ebooks, you want to go check your email; inside, there might just be a little present from Amazon waiting for you. And by "present" I mean "legally mandated compensation to make up for years of price-fixing." Just like Christmas!

Novos apps e sites 'automatizam' leitura dinâmica; conheça
Que tal ler este texto, que na velocidade média de leitura levaria dois minutos, em 26 segundos? É o que oferecem recém-lançados aplicativos e sites que imitam a técnica de leitura dinâmica.
A empresa americana Spritz fez barulho ao apresentar seu software no fim do mês passado por prometer livros lidos em algumas dezenas de minutos, e mensagens finalizadas em segundos. Como? Ao exibir as palavras de um texto em sequência ultrarrápida e no mesmo lugar.
Isso torna desnecessário o movimento dos olhos e suprime a "vocalização" mental, que desaceleram a leitura.

Awesomely fake trick shot video shows you can’t trust anything anymore
by Adam Clark Estes on Sploid, shared by Casey Chan to Gizmodo
The bros at Rocket Jump already impressed us once with their incredibly impressive and almost believable knife-throwing video and now they've done it again with this clip of nine trick shots in a row. They're also filmed in one continuous take. It would be really impressive—if it were real.

Beware of This Dangerously Convincing Google Docs Phishing Scam
by Adam Clark Estes
A very tricky phishing scam that takes advantage of Google Docs is making its way around the web. And since it uses a google.com URL and even makes use of Google's SSL encryption, it's almost impossible to tell that it's a hack. Your best safeguard, as always, is a little bit of common sense.

It Turns Out Cyclists Only Really Need Half a Bike To Get To Work
by Andrew Liszewski
PeuaguilarFaz uma na Montele D:
According to the folks at Kolelinia, cyclists are spending twice as much money as they need to on a bike. The company has just designed a more compact alternative called the Halfbike that looks like someone stripped away all the comfy bits from a real bike, leaving us with the cyclists' equivalent of a standing desk.

by Robert Sorokanich
Origami artist Sipho Mabona just pulled off an incredible feat of paper folding, turning a single 50 foot by 50 foot sheet of paper into a life-size paper elephant standing more than 10 feet tall. It was no doubt a painstaking process, but watching the artist and his team in process is strangely soothing.

The Live-Action Silver Spoon Lacks Heart and Soul
by Richard Eisenbeis
Last year, I chose Silver Spoon as one of the best five anime of 2013 —so when I heard there was a live-action adaptation in the works, I was more than a little excited. Unfortunately, I am sad to report that the live-action film is devoid of much of what makes the Silver Spoon manga and anime so great.
