This is awesome. Why did this never happen in my classes.

Yesterday in Physics someone’s phone went off to the tune of the Justice League. After the professor paused his lecture to acknowledge the phone, the kid answered his phone and replied, “The University is in trouble?! We’re on our way!” The kid stood up, ripped off his t-shirt, revealed the Superman costume underneath, and exclaimed “Super Friends, Assemble!” Scattered across the class of about 150, Batman, Wonder…

Windows/Mac OS X: Enlarging images, especially from lower resolution source images, can be dicey business. Want to enlarge an image and you don’t want it to look like an 8-bit video game sprite? SmillaEnlarger can keep things smooth and artifact free.

Destruction for destruction’s sake is always fun as long as no one gets hurt and everyone is ok withthe damage.

This short video clip shows why it’s a bad idea to get your car washed with a Liebherr R9800 Excavator.

If you’re curious, the shovel has a capacity of 42 cubic meter (which when filled with water, is equivalent to 42 metric ton or oh, about 92,500 lb). Explains the end result, doesn’t it?

Remember when everyone installed those neon lights underneath their cars, like in ‘The Fast and The Furious?’ We thought that trend had died out like Paul Walker’s acting career.

Now, thanks to LIT’s LED lighting kit, you can relive those days in the comfort of your own home. These LED tubes can be installed around or under just about any piece of furniture in your house, giving it that sci-fi or street racing feel you’ve been looking for. According to DVICE, the basic…

The Gatling gun of non-lethal weaponry. Scary!

When I posted that triple Taser the other day (apparently it’s for taking down your female coworkers, watch the video), I speculated that the criminals would come back with greater numbers, creating an arms race between muggers and the mugged. But if there was one of these on every corner, all you’d have to do is get behind it and hit the trigger, and everything you can see gets Tasered. Boom, no more muggers!

I hope Hollywood is listening.

When everybody gets excited for ultra-gear thrillers like GI Joe, we get nervous. Techno-thrillers are brilliant when done right (think Casino Royale) but worse than awful when done wrong (think Firewall). Here are 20 tropes filmmakers should avoid.

1. Do not lower any characters through the ceiling of a museum/government building/secret lair on a thin wire so that they can dangle alluringly over a glowing object that they are about…

As with all other Wes Anderson, this looks fantastic!

A few months ago, a good friend of mine saw a test screening of Fantastic Mr. Fox (no ‘The’) and described it as very much the union between Roald Dahl’s story and Wes Anderson’s style. Now, it looks like the trailer up on Yahoo! confirms as much, and I actually find myself genuinely charmed by it — like, ‘now on my radar’ charmed.

This tale of a sly fox (voiced by George Clooney, natch) taking on some greedy…
