- Warning: Don’t Drink and Internet May 20, 2013You don’t drink and drive. That’s a stupid, terrible thing to do, with a simple, understood cause and effect. So why do we keep waking up, wondering how on Earth that drunken Facebook message seemed like a good idea, and oh my god, Amazon confirmed shipment for WHAT? We’ve outgrown the drunk dial or drunk [...]Kyle Wagner
- Microsoft, We Really Need a Proper HiDPI Mode For Windows May 20, 2013If you ever needed a reason to spit out a proper hidpi mode, Microsoft, now you have one. Your very own Microsoft Surface Pro‘s 10-inch 1080p screen makes UI elements too small to be truly useable, but now Samsung’s spat a 13.3-inch laptop display with an insane 3200×1800 resolution. That’s an Apple Retina Display-beating 276.05ppi. [...]Sam Gibbs

In that Tumblr post it explains: [...]Jamie Condliffe

- Apparently No One Noticed This Humongous Explosion on the Moon May 20, 2013A massive explosion, equivalent to five tonnes of TNT annihilating our satellite’s surface, hit the poor Moon back in March. It created a bright flash that glowed like a 4th magnitude star, and could be seen by the naked eye, but apparently no one spotted it, until now. The impact saw a 40kg mass smash [...]Sam Gibbs
