I had no idea skate videos were this “fake”. I can’t wait to show this to my 13-year-old skater boi.

Congratulations to Apple for getting three spots on this top 25 list.

Yes, this video is beautiful but, if you knew anything about orcas (or even watched the video), you’d realize it’s not “terrifying” at all. There has never been a recorded instance of an orca (they aren’t called “killer whales” anymore) in the wild killing a human being. I’ve been scuba diving with them and it is an amazing experience.

I first posted a version of this story two years ago but this is another video version of the story.

While I rarely do them nowadays, I have a soft spot in my heart for crossword puzzles. My mom and I used to sit on the couch, solving them together, when I was a kid. This look into how some of them get created is fascinating.

I’m obviously biased but I love that this is set in Canada. Sadly, it’s in Toronto.

The story of John DeLorean’s rise and fall is one of the most fascinating in American business.

With all the fake/paid for reviews we are subjected to, it’s great to have a recommendation site you can trust.

This new law may have a side effect of limiting employment for Australians in tech.

Up until this year, I might have used this frequently. Now, I try to use Google products as little as possible.

“Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned…” indeed. You just know there’s a Hollywood screenwriter working on turning this into a movie as we speak.

This is truly an amazing feat. The fact that both Voyagers are still sending back data is a testament to the men and women who worked and continue to work on and with these incredible spacecraft.

I’m a traditionalist when it comes to Christmas music but I gotta admit, I enjoyed this way more than I expected to.

On the Google blog announcement of this, Google said in the second paragraph, “…We’ve recently determined that some users were impacted by a software update…” “Some users” is defined by Google as “…approximately 52.5 million…”

This is a mind blowing way of visualizing population and density.

Yet another skirmish in the war between the two companies. But China is the largest battlefield in the world.

This quiz original came out in 2013 but has been flying around the internet over the past few days.

In a nutshell, you answer 25 questions that try to pry out how y’all refer to things like soda, rubber bands, and service roads and, in return, you’ll get a surprisingly accurate guess as to where you grew up.

Obviously, this is specific to the US and will be more accurate if you spent a good chunk of your developing years in one place.

Try to imagine what it was like to be in that audience.

I can’t imagine actually using one of these things.

As always, take what you read on Reddit with a grain of salt but, if true, this is an incredible story and one I’m sure will be repeated.

If you love coffee but don’t have a Moka Pot (or a “cafetiere” as an Italian girlfriend who turned me on to them called it), then you don’t actually love coffee.

The Australian government wants companies to expose themselves but not to be exposed in turn.

The fact it’s a great camera on a phone is not surprising. Just how good it is, even from a technical point of view, is pleasantly surprising.

What a wonderfully weird ad but we expect nothing less of Japanese commercials.

You folks lucky enough to have an Apple Watch 4 should let us know what you think about this app.

What a great documentary about a great band.

Be warned, this is a rabbit hole of a read, a real time suck. But so, so fascinating.

When I first saw these ads I thought professional photographers might take issue with Apple’s claims.

We watched Scream in October for Halloween with the 13-year-old. It was wonderfully scary for him.

Apple CEO Tim Cook accepts the Anti-Defamation League’s inaugural Courage Against Hate Award at the Never is Now Summit on Anti-Semitism and Hate today. He gave a powerful keynote speech with a strong message for those who want to spread hate on Apple’s platform.
