The ink has barely dried on Samsung's last SSD announcement and the South Korean manufacturer has already made it obsolete by orders of magnitude. This 2.5-inch enterprise-class SSD isn't for us regular Joes, but if you thought the company's EVO 840's 540MB/s was zippy, hold on to your desk chair. The newly announced NVMe SSD XS1715 reads data at a mind-numbing 3,000MB/s. Hitting these absurd numbers isn't without a caveat, though, as this SSD won't run on a SATA-6 port -- it requires a PCIe hook-up. When these speed demons do arrive, they'll be available in 400GB, 800GB and 1.6TB sizes. Oh, and we want one. For business.

Earlier this week, Elon Musk announced that he would publish an alpha design for his crazy-sounding "Hyperloop" by August 12. According to Musk, the diagram above is as close as anyone has gotten to figuring out how the super-fast transit technology might work. And it seems bonkers.
Retro NBA fans and Charlotte residents, rejoice! The Bobcats are no more! Per ESPN, this season will serve as the orange-and-blue’s swan song, as the classic “Hornets” moniker returns in the 2014-2015 season.
Since they moved to New Orleans in 2002, the Hornets have made for some interesting discussions in the nerdiest regions of the NBA’s fanclub. Good but never great in a 90′s sort of way, few relocated teams can claim to be as cool – even if it is ironically – as the Hornets. Blame the phenomenon on a cult-like dedication to some awesome merchandise if you want.
Regardless, this move makes perfect sense. A great way to exorcise the demons of a franchise defined by failure. If they can do away with those damn pinstripes, I will definitely consider buying a teal Michael Kidd-Gilchrist jersey.
The city of Charlotte must have missed the memo about the name-change and all-day “Buzz City Celebration” to mark the Hornets returned because not too many people showed up to take part. Says the Deadspin commenter who was there.
“I just took this picture (~12:45) in downtown Charlotte at the Bobcats’ party for changing the name to the Hornets. It’s a sad state of affairs, as evidenced by the lonely clown on stilts in the middle there.
Keep in mind this is the heart of the city during lunch, one of the few times downtown Charlotte is generally busy.”
Michael Jordan can’t win for losing.

I'm not sure what part of this photo of Steve Spurrier in a fast-food restaurant I like the most. That suit with the undone tie that makes him look like he just slept in his car? The sunglasses indoors? That thumbs-up and facial expression of utter satisfaction as he reaches into the condiment station? The guy in the background just staring in wonder at it all? The little kid in the background who's missing all this because he can't be bothered to look up from his book? The fact that Jadeveon Clowney put this image on Instagram? This photo is like Robert Frank capturing the decadent ennui of the Stones, but with ketchup.

The podunk town of Deer Trail, Colorado, is considering selling drone hunting permits and offering $100 bounties for bringing in pieces of downed government drones. No word if they'll fall for a box of broken pinball parts.
"We do not want drones in town," Phillip Steel, the Deer Trail, Colo., resident who drafted the ordinance, told Denver's ABC7 affiliate. "They fly in town, they get shot down." Steel said that while he's never seen a drone flying in Deer Trail, the ordinance is a "symbolic" one. "I do not believe in the idea of a surveillance society, and I believe we are headed that way," he said. David Boyd, one of Deer Field's seven board members, supports the drone ordinance. "Even if a tiny percentage of people get online (for a) drone license, that's cool," Boyd said. "That's a lot of money to a small town like us. Could be known for it as well, which probably might be a mixed blessing, but what the heck."Ahahahaha, now I kinda want to move to Deer Trail, sounds like a pretty progressive little town. *Wikipedias Deer Trail, Colorado* Haha, they claim it's 'Home of the Worlds First Rodeo' in 1869. Oh man, only 550 residents. Be honest -- how many pretty girls do you think live there? Okay, what about old ladies who were pretty in their youth? What? You think I won't date the 1924 Deer Trail Rodeo Queen? Age is like, just a number. "She's 200." Okay so maybe it's a big number. Thanks to TSGoifb, Elmer Duff, tony pepparoni, and my buddy Djamel, who can't wait for hunting season to start. Heck yeah! *dances around blasting shotgun off into the air* Shit, are we inside?
Spider-Man’s Spider Sense alerts him to danger and allows his body to react on its own to avoid attacks. Thinkgeek’s Tingling Electronic Spidey Sense T-shirt on the other hand only alerts you when someone – or something – is behind you. But at least you don’t have to get bit by – or look for – a radioactive spider.

Actually there’s nothing special about the T-shirt itself. It comes with a clip-on proximity sensor that also has motors to make it vibrate. When someone approaches at least 5ft. behind you, the device will emit a pulse, emulating Spider-Man’s power. The pulses become more frequent the closer someone is to you. Wait… is this a naughty toy?

I wonder if it will still work if you wear it under a hoodie.
You can pre-order the t-shirt from ThinkGeek for $40 (USD). It won’t be released until October, but I have a feeling it’ll be sold out way before then. I bet tinkerers will be selling replicas of the gadget online before we know it.
