This is possibly the most adorable use of VR we’ve seen yet.
On Sunday, February 7, millions of Americans across the nation will tune in to one of this country’s most sacred and time-honored traditions: Animal Planet’s Puppy Bowl. More riveting and important than the other televised sporting event airing opposite it, this year’s Puppy Bowl XII will feature 84 puppies (not nearly enough, I say) licking, pawing, and generally cute-ing their way across the gridiron.
Bitcoin developer Mike Hearn said he’s abandoning the currency, though others say its death is far from a sure thing.
Bitcoin developer Mike Hearn said the cryptocurrency has “failed” in a widely circulated Medium post this week, announcing an end to his involvement with bitcoin.
Heavily edited Wikipedia pages include entries for notable figures like Jesus, Obama, Hitler, and Britney Spears.
In honor of its 15th birthday, Internet encyclopedia Wikipedia revealed the 15 most edited English pages in its history—and the number one slot goes to none other than former president George W. Bush, a contentious figure if there ever was one. In 2014, Bush’s entry was crowned the most controversial in the English Wikipedia.
Senior Vice President and General Manager Brett O’Brien talks sports tech innovation, the brand’s strategy for the future, and more.
Back in September, I went down to the famed IMG Academy, a private high school that’s also a high-performance sports factory that brands like Prince and Under Armour partner with to test new gear. I was there to check out an outpost of Gatorade’s Sports Science Institute (GSSI), which has been using the academy’s wide variety of athletes—along with the Brazilian national soccer team, the Boston Celtics, Kansas City Chiefs, FC Barcelona, and the University of Florida—to test its latest innovation. It’s a smart cap water bottle that, along with a software platform, sweat analysis patch, weight scale, and specialized Gatorade formulas, can measure and manage an athlete’s hydration rates in real time to help them get the right kind of recovery at the right time.
For a city that’s below sea level and covered in water, getting more green space involves looking toward the ocean.
When a city is below sea level, maybe it makes sense that a new city forest should float. In the Dutch city of Rotterdam, some neighborhoods aren’t just below sea level—they’re as much as 20 feet below, and over a third of the city surface is already covered in water. In March, a group of artists there will start to plant trees in the harbor instead of on land.
She writes sketches on Inside Amy Schumer and short humor for The New Yorker. Here’s how Hallie Cantor stays succinctly funny.
Brevity is soul. Usually that quote is longer, but who has that kinda time? With so much content competing for our attention, there’s a lot to be said for doing more with less. Unless there’s a way to say that with fewer words.
New technologies may usurp old ones nearly every year, but many of us still reach for our old-school laptops. That’s no accident.
My wife was recently using her tablet, and I asked if she’d replied to an important email. She promptly put down the tablet and reached for her laptop. “Why not your tablet?” I quizzed. She gave me her best “Are you kidding?” face, saying in total deadpan: “I have work to do here.” My wife loves her tablet and uses it nearly every day but she clearly reaches for her laptop for “serious tasks.” While most of us can likely agree that mobile is the future of computing, something very interesting is happening here. In a world where new technologies usurp the old nearly every year, many of us are reaching for our old school laptops surprisingly often. This isn’t just nostalgia, there is something deeply inadequate about mobile. This post is about figuring out how to fix it.
