This practical joke could have turned into tragedy: watch as some "friends" throw a guy out of a boat after seeing a great white shark in the distance. As they approach the shark, the animal turns around and goes straight to get him, just a fraction of a second before he gets back into the boat. Read More >>

The New York Times confirmed today that Apple is drastically cutting iPhone 5 orders, just as the Wall Street Journal and Nikkei of Japan reported yesterday. It's too early to say that the tide is turning, but things don't seem too rosy in Cupertino: Read More >>

The Onion joked about people getting phones with shattered screens but, if my screen breaks, I will set this background and keep using it until I bleed to death through my fingers. So cool. [Imgur via Reddit] Read More >>

I've read plenty of crazy GPS stories, but this has to be the craziest of them all: a 67-year-old woman drove for 900 miles over the course of two days because of a GPS error combined with her complete lack of attention. Her actual destination was only 90 miles away. Read More >>

These are NASA's GRAIL twin spacecraft's final videos before crashing straight into the Moon. Ebb and Flow — as the spacecraft's were affectionately known at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory — turned on their video cameras for one last time three days before impact.

This 3m-long python flew from Cairns, Australia, to Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea, attached to the wing of a Qantas' passenger airplane. Sadly, the poor snake didn't survive the trip, which lasted about 90 minutes. Warning: the video is hard to watch. Viewer discretion is advised. Read More >>

This is not surprising, but since the Wall Street Journal keeps releasing stupid stupid STUPID reports on Apple developing a cheapo iPhone year after year, it's good to have Phil Schiller punching them in the groin with a big hell-no: Read More >>

The new BlackBerry 10 looks very good. It may be too late to save RIM, but it's certainly not too little. It's loaded with great stuff. In fact, its keyboard is so terrific that I wish every manufacturer had it. Here's why: Read More >>

The deadly asteroid Apophis is safely passing by Earth today, at more than 9 million miles (14.5 million kilometres) from our home planet. Next time we won't be so lucky. On April 13, 2029, Apophis will come so close that it may destroy satellites in orbit. Read More >>

Astronomers have a mind-blowing new theory: there are 17 billion Earth-sized planets in our galaxy. They don't yet know how many of these worlds are in habitable zones, of course, but the implications of this discovery are amazing. So much that some claim the "quest for a twin Earth is heating up."

This is the new BlackBerry 10, two weeks from its official release. And while visually it looks like a cross between Android and iOS — without any of the spiffiness of Windows Phone — RIM's make-or-break operating system is surprisingly nice. Fast, with clever user interface touches, a centralised hub for all user activity and a good browser. Read More >>
