Not content to leave the shopping game to the likes of eBay and Amazon, Google has decided to enter the crowded world of e-commerce, but they won’t be opening up a store front any time soon.  Instead, Google is launching a fashion and shopping website called Boutiques.com, which basically acts as a middle man between the [...]

If you want to be confused, look no further than Hangzhou, China.  Town hall officials in that Chinese city have devised one of the most confusing and hard to understand road signs I’ve ever seen.  On one side, there’s a human crossing a street at a crosswalk; on the other side, there’s a monkey crossing [...]

It’s a love triangle worthy of Dallas, but it’s taking place in San Antonio.  On October 29, former San Antonio Spurs player Brent Barry and his wife Erin Barry filed for divorce.  Just yesterday, Eva Longoria and her husband Tony Parker, also a San Antonio Spurs player, filed for divorce.  Sources say that Tony Parker [...]

It’s not out yet, but the moment it comes out, look for your Facebook account to be inundated with messages.  That’s how Zynga’s runaway hit game, FarmVille, spread amongst users of the world’s most popular social network and how Zynga launched a multimillion dollar per year business as the kingpin of social network gaming.  From [...]

China, with its large population of experienced hackers and complete and utter willingness to do whatever it wants, whenever it wants, has proven to be quite the aggressive foe for the Internet.  First, there was the Great Firewall of China put up to block Chinese users from the greater Internet at large.  Now, China’s turning [...]

While it may not matter to you and me, it matters a great deal to scientists.  Or should I say, it antimatters to scientists.  A team of physicists at CERN’s headquarters in Switzerland have managed to make a huge breakthrough in the field of antimatter research.  Until now, antimatter has been created, but there has [...]

It’s the holiday event that everyone can’t wait for.  It starts in September, when the Pumpkin Spice latte makes its return to the Green Monster.  After that, the special flavors start cascading in:  Caramel Brulee Latte, Peppermint Mocha, Gingerbread Latte, Eggnog Latte, Peppermint White Hot Chocolate, and Peppermint Hot Chocolate.  The tastes evoke the holidays, [...]

It’s a shocking, horrible event.  Two twin sisters, natives of Victoria, Australia, either killed themselves, had a murder-suicide, or perhaps a horrible accident.  The Aussie twins shot one another in the head, simultaneously, at the Family Shooting Center outside of Denver.  The two took a taxi to the facility, in Arapahoe County’s Cherry Creek State [...]

Amazon is one of the largest movie sales outfits in the world, but they’re not interested in just selling other people’s stuff anymore.  Oh no, the Kindle’s wild success has gotten Amazon hungry for the power and profits that come with production.  That’s why Amazon has launched Amazon Studios, a film production arm that will [...]

Adam C. Pearson is a creative guy.  He’s what you call a food preparation artist, so I imagine he’s pretty good at thinking outside the box.  That’s probably why his arms appear covered in tattoos from the knuckles of his hands all the way up to where his arms disappear beneath his shirt sleeves.  It’s [...]

Getting listed on the UNESCO World Heritage list is one of the greatest honors that can be bestowed on anything treasured by a nation.  That immediately elevates whatever building, area, park, or activity that lands on the list and ensures that the government of the particular nation has to preserve it.  That’s why the UNESCo [...]

A parade of albinos, like the one from Brazil seen above, could happen in Tanzania.  Tanzania has Africa’s largest population of people with albinism, or the pigmentation disorder that leaves sufferers with pale skin, red eyes, and white hair.  However, while it’s possible, it’s probably risky as albinos are routinely hunted and killed in Tanzania [...]

It’s a full-service fitness center.  We’re talking massages, counseling, nutritionists, trainers, and even medical staff all team up to encourage weight loss and develop positive training techniques to improve health and well-being.  Unfortunately, this deal isn’t for humans; only those with four legs need apply.  It’s a full-service, indoor, air-conditioned dog gymnasium called Arizona Dog [...]

The Japanese are always pushing boundaries, especially when it comes to technology.  While they’re not the leader on weird vending machine products, panties aside, they’re the leaders on robotic technology in general.  A new vending machine from JR East Water Business Company scans the face of the customer and recommends drinks based on age and [...]
