Some of you may know, but Stanford University has been running a project for many years that allows you to install a program in your Chrome browser to help them solve complex problems that will cure diseases. It runs in the background of your computer and only affects the performance slightly...

Google Fi is offering a promotion for the Nexus 5X with new signups to their Google Fi network and I'm intrigued to switch. I'm currently using Republic Wireless which uses the same concept of calls & texts through open wifi networks and only paying for the data you use and optimizing your cell...

On the heals of the Pluto discovery and comet landing last year, we now have a satellite taking constant pictures of the whole planet. I'm always fascinated that it wasn't until 1959 that any humans saw the dark side of the moon. And now... we get to see it twice a year. The gif is especially...

Some crazy pictures taken today by the New Horizons probe, and it's all powered by an OG playstation chip! Crazy!

#TeamEcon check in! It was recommended to me about 6 years ago now and all I can say is I wish I learned half of this stuff while I was in college. From the episodes on Mortgage Backed Securities during the economic meltdown, to the series on where T-Shirts come from, to their current series on...

This guy's skills are insane!

I was told about the Folding @ Home project from Stanford about 8 years ago. Back then, it seemed like a cool thing to do since I would always leave my computer on at college anyways. Fast forward to now and there have been over 100 papers published from the results from normal people allowing...

I just bought a Dell XPS 8700 from CostCo as my main computer. They were selling it for the same price as Dell.com, but with WAY better specs, so I had to jump on it...

In light of the recent re-release of Surge, I was reading some of the questions asked and started LMAO. http://www.amazon.com/Surge-16-FL-OZ-Cans/forum/Fx21VK7WJDX8YAW/-/1/ref=cm_cd_dp_aar_ql?_encoding=UTF8&asin=B00M2OGS08&cdSort=best What have been some of the better questions or comments...

Most of us that have been around for a while have either heard of compound interest, or have experienced it ourselves. Since there have been a lot of threads in the past about investing, I thought I would share an article I came across recently that shows some of the younger heads on here what a...

http://6weekcycle.com/ I just heard about this and the consistency seems a little too creepy. I'm on my phone now, so I can't paste the events in, but there's basically a shooting or some similar domestic attack in the U.S. that demands FBI involvement every 6 weeks almost without exception.

Go Daddy better step their Van Damme game up to top this one.

The U.S. Air Force has a message for Iran: Don’t mess with our drones. In what only can be described as a scene out of Tom Cruise’s “Top Gun,” Gen. Mark A. Welsh III, Air Force chief of staff, describes how F-22 stealth jets scared off Iranian jets from a U.S. drone flying in international...

I don't think I realized when I was in school how much of a cult phenomenon the Trapper Keeper was. But looking back, it was one of the few school supplies you actually looked forward to buying. Do you still have yours? http://mentalfloss.com/article/52726/history-trapper-keeper In the fall of...

Extra credit points for the ending there.

I'm not sure what the cost of this thing is, or what a ticket costs, but this seems like a pretty good alternative to the public transportation debate. It seems fairly private, stylish, and comfortable for a trip. Not to mention the road infrastructure is already available in any major city.

I'm glad to see there's another attempt to bring this back. We danced around it with so many other bills that will do nothing and yet this was what many agree helped propel much of the financial crisis. It's just unfortunate that this bill probably won't see the light of day...
