Uncyclopedia - The Content-Free Encyclopedia

Uncyclopedia is an encyclopedia full of misinformation and utter lies.
It is a project like Wikipedia, hosted by the Uncyclomedia Foundation, a non-profitable organization that also hosts a range of other projects.

Effectively its an encyclopaedia written by apes. The unfortunate thing is that its articles rarely go any further than this description did.

Its a great way to waste time though!!

First-ever high-resolution images of a molecule as it breaks and reforms chemical bonds

The original reactant molecule that is resting on a flat silver surface is imaged both before and after the reaction, which occurs when the temperature > 90° Celsius. 
The two most common final products of the reaction are shown. The three-angstrom scale bars (an angstrom is a ten-billionth of a meter) indicate that the reactant and product molecules are about a billionth of a meter across...

xkcd: webcomics & what-ifs

A webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language. It was started by a CNU graduate, Randall Munroe, with a degree in physics. Before starting xkcd, he worked on robots at NASA's Langley Research Center in Virginia.
The comic's tagline describes it as a "Stick-figure strip featuring humor about technology, science, mathematics and relationships"

xkcd:612

Since July 2012, there has been a branch of xkcd called xkcd What-If, which is updated every Tuesday.

NASA’s Voyager 1 has passed the heliosphere and into the interstellar medium. NASA knew the spacecraft had reached this point because of the vibrations of interstellar plasma detected by Voyager's antennae. The sounds were recorded using an onboard plasma wave instrument, which detected the vibrations of dense interstellar plasma, or ionized gas, from October to November 2012 and April to May 2013.

The Voyager I & II Spacecraft have sent back recordings from Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. You can listen to​ some more space sounds here.

comGateway - Shop from USA and ship internationally for much less!

 

It's no secret, there's nothing quite like shopping online at U.S. websites. Just think of all the great stuff on Amazon, eBay, Zappos, Sephora & more that you can't find anywhere else. However many of these stores don't offer international shipping or charge a lot for it. 
This site provides you with a local US address and can even buy you a US credit card. You can get your package shipped to that domestic address, and there these people ship your package internationally to you.
It is relatively cheap, and you can enjoy shopping from any US websites now!

An incredible time-lapse video

This video was shot by photographer Dustin Farrell in Arizona and Utah (yay!). He said, “Every frame of this video is a raw still from a Canon 5D2 DSLR and processed with Adobe software. In Volume 2 I again show off my beautiful home state of Arizona and I also made several trips to Utah. This video has some iconic landmarks that we have seen before. I felt that showing them again with motion controlled HDR and/or night timelapse would be a new way to see old landmarks.”
 In layman’s terms… he used a camera. Not a camcorder. A DSLR camera. And he put each individual picture together on a computer to make it into a video.

Why Watching DVDs on Linux is Illegal in the USA

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) makes unlocking cell phones, ripping DVDs, removing eBook DRM, and jailbreaking tablets illegal in the USA. However, there’s another surprise: simply watching a DVD on Linux is also illegal.
This is why Ubuntu and other Linux distributions don’t include out-of-the-box DVD support, forcing you to run a command that downloads and installs libdvdcss from elsewhere – not the Linux distribution’s software repositories, or they would get in trouble.
If you are an American who’s watched a DVD on Linux, there’s a good chance the DMCA makes you a criminal.

Does Decreased Brightness Increase Your Phone's Battery Life?

How About an Experiment?

 

How do you measure the energy use in a phone? I’m sure there’s an app for that, but I don’t have that app. Instead, I tried something different. What if I charged my phone up to 100% battery and kept it plugged into the charger? In this case, I can assume that an increased load on the power charger is just due to an increased power use of the phone. Maybe this isn’t true, but I can assume it anyway.
