It's almost gin o'clock here on a dull Friday afternoon, so you deserve to witness something magical. Sit back, hit play, and watch as the beauty of pure-colour inks flow and swirl past in eye-bleeding 4K detail. Ahhh, that's better. [YouTube] Read More >>
Some days, after a good night's rest and a protein-rich breakfast, my brain works wonderfully. It's well wrinkled, filled to the brim with answers, and snapping synapses a-go. Other days, after an epic night, and a regurgitated breakfast, my brain just doesn't want to be bothered. It's smooth and thoughtless. How does that damn brain work? ASAP Science analyses the brain by detailing the difference between fast thinking and slow thinking. You're going to think in a whole new way after this. [YouTube] Read More >>
It's not much, but it is tantalising. This is a teaser for an ad, if you can believe people actually do that kind of thing. The full shebang, which should reveal some more unreleased carnage upon our naive little eyes, will be broadcast during the Super Bowl on Sunday in the US, which means we should be able to see it on YouTube soon after.

Hand-drawn animation seamlessly merges with CGI in Disney's new groundbreaking short, Paperman. It's apparently a marvel of new technology, but all I really know is it's absolutely stunning. It'll melt your heart. Read More >>

Dyson's got something new up its sleeve. Something that's been three years in the making, with 125 engineers on the case, that's cost £40 million to bring to market, and will be revealed next Tuesday. Here's a teaser video, showing something being lasered. Anyone got any ideas? Read More >>

Forget the Pyramids. Forget the International Space Station. Henceforth, mankind's greatest creation will forever be this: a four minute long, incredibly accurate flip-chart animation of Gangnam Style. I don't even want to think about the number of post-its or man-hours spent making this. In fact, I don't want to think about anything. I just want to sit here and watch it on repeat.

While this video almost certainly uses some little software tweaks to make it work, we can forgive that: there's something amazing about hearing Beethoven's Ode to Joy played by kicking around pieces of broken crockery. What a neat idea. [YouTube via BoingBoing] Read More >>
We've all broken our share of phones, and generally the only day-to-day danger they face is a three or four foot fall, or maybe the odd puddle of water. Norwegian X-Games competitor PK Hunder's phone had a bit more to deal with when he lost it in mid-air, half-way through a 720 during a practice run. Read More >>

46 years ago yesterday, veteran astronaut Gus Grissom; first American spacewalker Ed White, and rookie Roger Chaffee were killed in a cabin fire during an Apollo 1 launch pad test. The first majorly-fatal accident in NASA's history, the fire was caused in part by the cabin's pure oxygen atmosphere and a number of other dangerous design flaws that were correct over the 20 month delay that followed the incident.

You probably don't have the balls to go ski jumping. If you do, congratulations; I hope you're reading this in flight. For the rest of us, this video is a great (read: less scary) way to get just the smallest slice of that action. A piece you can safely chew and swallow. Read More >>
