The MYO armband by Thalmic Labs allows users to control their electronic devices using simple hand and arm gestures. The one-size-fits-all bracelet uses six-axis and muscle activity sensors to track arm movement, and connects to Windows and OS X machines using Bluetooth 4.0. In their demonstration video, a man turns on music with a snap of his fingers and increases the volume by rotating his forearm. He also plays a video game and even pilots a Parrot AR Drone with Star Wars-like ability using the futuristic accessory.

The MYO currently only supports Windows and Mac OS, but Thalmic Labs promises that APIs for iOS and Android will soon be available to developers. Black and white versions of the MYO are available for pre-order now.

Animals Give You Tough Love, fun little ditty by Ze Frank.

Hell yeah! This is the Aaron Sorkin auratory I know & love!, this opening sequence was astonishingly well written. Behold, The West Wing 2.0 Absolutely no copyright infringement intended, I only have the utmost respect for HBO, Aaron Sorkin & the cast & crew of 'The Newsroom'

I realize the actual Quark-centric episodes we got out of Deep Space Nine weren’t really a good selling point for this notion, but I’d have loved to see an actual show built out around Quark’s bar. Armin Shimerman is amaaaaazing, the character has a ton of promise, and a series about an ostensibly ruthless, morally-conflicted businessman-slash-criminal trying to keep his head above water and his eyes on the prize in a nasty corner of space would just kill me, especially if you give his supporting cast some more depth and oomph that we usually got from e.g. Rom and Leeta.

On the flip side fo that, someone’s made a billion jokes about Quark’s-as-Cheers already, right? At least the crowd shouting “Morn!” and Rom saying “how’s the world treatin’ yeah, Mister Mornerson?” Right? Part of me wants to go one at length here but I’m pretty sure I’m late to this party.

In any case, Picard’s opera selection here is a joke, obviously, since from personal experience I can vouch that the only music you put on a game is (a) Holst’s “The Planets”, (b) the pre-Jackson Lord of the Rings work of Ralph Bakshi, or (c) Rammstein.

Though this isn't a destination you can travel to just yet, artist Yang Yongliang designed imaginary skylines like this to reflect China's possible (very Blade Runner-esque) future. Check out more in the via link below!

“To This Day” is a spoken word poem by Canadian poet and writer Shane Koyczan that explores the “profound and lasting impact that bullying can have on an individual.” Volunteer animators and motion artists got together for the To This Day project and animated Koyczan’s poem. The final piece is powerful and lovely.

My experiences with violence in schools still echo throughout my life but standing to face the problem has helped me in immeasurable ways.

Leonardo DiCaprio is the Bad Luck Brian of Hollywood.

Mathias Lachal remade the classic Budweiser "Wassup" ad. The new video, dubbed "Wasa," is a gorgeous, psychedelic animation triumph that must be seen. This is exactly what this video needed all along.

Video game director Leonard Menchiari and a small team of Italian developers have created a riot simulator for iOS and Android devices titled RIOT. The events in this simulator are based on real life “riots and manifestations happening in our world today.” You are able to choose which side of the protest to control, the riot police or a gang of rioters. Leonard and his team are currently raising funds on Indiegogo to help with software and licenses. RIOT will be coming out for Mac and PC sometime in the future.

The main purpose of this project is to create a game that will get people to be interactive with two opposing forces during clashes between rioters and police while showing the moral aspects and viewpoints of both sides.

sound effects by Eric Wegener and Rolando Nadal
