What if the rest of the alien universe was terrified of humans?

by Casey Chan on Sploid, shared by Casey Chan to Gizmodo

In almost every sci-fi movie worth re-watching, it seems that us humans are always less technologically advanced, dumber and only serve as a mere speed bump into an alien race eliminating humans to take over our planet and suck Earth dry of its resources. We're always the weaker ones in alien wars. Well, what if we're not? Tom Scott imagined a scenario where everyone else in the universe was afraid of humans. It's fantastic.

This Is Why Imperial Units Suck

by Jamie Condliffe

Imperial units suck. They suck really, really hard. They're archaic, irrelevant, difficult to work with, and, perhaps most stupidly, based on incredibly arbitrary reasoning. As this wonderful video explains.

BlackBerry's Porsche-designed Z10 is a phone that even it can't afford

by Daniel Cooper

DNP BlackBerry's Porschedesigned Z10 is a phone that even it can't afford

If your company produced a device that, while technically accomplished, managed to lose you $1 billion a few months later, you'd probably try and pretend that it never existed. That's not the approach that BlackBerry is taking with the Z10, however. Instead, the beleaguered smartphone maker has teamed up with Porsche Design to create the P'9982, a gussied-up version of the touchscreen smartphone designed to tempt gold course-bound executives and the super rich in ways that the original evidently failed to do. We've just got one of the devices in our hand, and we thought we'd run the rule over it to see how the other half live. %Gallery-slideshow122231%

This Pringles Dispenser Will Revolutionize Snacks In a Can

Pringles changed the world for the better when it released its perfectly-stacked potato chips-in-a-can approach to snack food. But while the design helped to minimize broken chips, it also made them harder to reach as you went deeper in the can—a problem that's now solved thanks to this brilliant contraption that looks kind of like a shoe horn that mated with a slap wrap bracelet.

Welcome To The Humble Indie Store

by Shane Roberts

Welcome To The Humble Indie Store

The Humble Bundle has long been the best value in gaming, and things are about to get even less humble with the debut of the new Humble storefront. Humble has been letting indies use their checkout system for a while now, so it's no surprise that they're formalizing the whole thing into a browsable experience. We expect prices here to be in line with competing sales from Steam, but Humble takes a smaller cut, and gives 10% to charity.
