Chimpanzees Have A Better Short-Term Memory Than You
Humans have long believed that we are the smartest creatures on this planet. In some ways we are. However, when it comes to our memory, we are not as clever as we think we are. It turns out that chimpanzees have a way better short-term memory than we do. So good that even our brain can't comprehend ...
Miniature TRON Arcade Cabinet Inspired By A Pinball Machine
If you are a geek, you probably like the movie TRON. When I think of '80s classics, TRON always comes to mind. Of course, TRON Legacy in 2010 was a huge hit in its own right, and the teenagers around the world will probably always think of TRON Legacy when they think of TRON, but I will always be a ...
Stackable USB Flash Drive Allows Virtually Unlimited Memory
It would seem like flash drives are old news by now. You put more and more memory into them and increase the price, and that's about it, right? That is not exactly how some people would like to see it. There is apparently far more ingenuity that can be pushed into a flash drive than just adding memo ...
This USB Memory Collector Gives New Life To Old Flash Sticks
USB memory sticks have always been a great accessory for anyone who is doing a great deal of their daily work on a computer.

Imagine A Future Where We’ll Be Able To Download Memories
It sounds like the stuff of science-fiction and geek ideology, but the ability to download memories may be a full blown reality for the future generations of planet Earth. Science (well, Neuroscience, Neuroengineering, and Optogenetics to be exact) is getting closer and closer to creating a solution ...

Laugh More Today! The Health Benefits Of Laughter [Infographic]
There are two types of people in the world, those who laugh a lot and those who don't. The people who love laughing view the world and everyone in it a little differently than those who don't. Someone once said, "laughter is the sound of the soul dancing," and I agree. I laugh all the time, and I ha ...
FlashPals: Data Storage Turned Into Cuddly Plush Companions
If you don't know what a flash drive is by now, you really have been living under a rock for the last 10 years or so. Since memory cards can fit more ram and our storage is getting ever more infinite, there is a trend that has been going on for a while now where you can get a flash drive in pretty m ...
Timehop: Tells You What You Did Online A Year Ago
It's amazing how much information we all keep posting, submitting and sharing on the Internet each day. Over all the platforms and services we all use, I am sure the content can be counted in several megabytes. It can be everything from a Facebook Like to a simple comment on someone's forum or websi ...
Superheadz Clap Camera: Take Photos With A USB Stick
Once again, I am going to hail homage to the infinite creativity and innovation people in our world are able to come up with. This time, it has to do with the never-ending urge to make something smaller. Maybe a new word like "microfication" is in order to explain the constant strive to put what we ...

How Google Affects Our Memory [Infographic]
I remember back towards the beginning of the year when Chris Pirillo and Danny Brown both wrote articles about how social media is, in a sense, making us lazy. They started a whole online conversation about it, and many other blogs weighed in with their opinions on the subject.
The story kind of ...
World’s Smallest Hard Drive Is The Atari 810 Build
I certainly love technology, and I recently wrote about the world's smallest PC. For all of you who after reading that article are wondering what "side" I am on, I can safely say that I work mostly on a PC (or in Windows as someone wanted to label it instead). I have a Mac as well, but I use that so ...
The Logo Reader Stores All Your Card Data In One Gadget
I know from experience that SD and flash cards can be quite a handful to carry around, and it's easy to lose them if you're not careful. Some people have fancy boxes and storage containers to house their cards, but for me, that's not exactly a necessity since I store most of my mobile data on my sm ...
The Pick-Apart Hard Drive Is A Partitioner’s Dream!
Right now I am sitting here with 3 stacked up Porsche external hard drives and not a single GB left to store on them. They are all filled with graphics, ideas and what have you. Sometimes I wish I could just reach into each of those drives and fast and easily extract exactly what I wanted without ...
Star Trek Illustrations: Could You Draw These With Your Eyes Closed?
Do you know what blind contour drawing is? I never heard of that term before today, although after I read about what it is, I realized I've done many drawings this way.
Blind contour drawing is when you look intently at the object you are drawing, and you draw it without looking down at the piec ...
Use Words Instead of Numbers for Your Lock Combination!
Locks are great, they help us feel secure in knowing that our possessions are safe. When we go to gym, we feel so much better knowing that our stuff is locked away in our locker. When we travel, we feel so much more relaxed knowing we have everything under lock and key.
I prefer using a padlock ...
