Wonder Woman Gets A New, Far Less Sexy Costume And...
Comic book characters periodically go through costume changes and story changes— they die and are reborn etc etc., but Wonder Woman is one of the few superheroes that’s been more or less the same for decades and decades. And now she’s getting not only a new costume, but a new origin story.

Early Windows 8 Docs Reveal Microsoft Store And An...
Even though Windows 7 is selling on average one copy per second and despite the fact that Windows still dominates the desktop market, Apple’s not doing too bad for itself, and it looks like it’s a success that Microsoft is looking to emulate with Windows 8— mainly the idea that Windows is uncluttered and easy to use and is something that will have an Apple-like brand loyalty.

Jesus Jumped Up Christ That's Some Impressive Halo...
Last week, we had a guy that made on fucking incredible General Grievous costume, but then comes along this guy— special effects artist Peter Mender— a guy who creates an absolutely mind-blowing Halo Elite costume. It’s like making a nice looking proto-helicopter and then along comes Da Vinci and rapes your world.
My only beef really with this thing is that with the head so...

See more photos with more information here at Boston.com. I love it when it’s G-20 time. I so rarely get to see people’s car-burning skills.

Why Do We Dream? Is It An Evolutionary...

Freud was big on the idea that dreams simply expressed unconscious desires, but it’s got to be more than that to be useful.

The Optimus Maximus OLED Keyboard Now Has A...
Years ago, a beautiful prototype design of a keyboard with OLED screens on every key emerged out of Russia and the tech world debated its existence. It turned out that the Optimus Maximus keyboard was real, though it was also really expensive. Now it has a follow-up, a skinnier keyboard called the Popularis.

I haven’t got this to work yet on my HTC Hero, but this Android 2.1 Mario live wallpaper certainly looks cool as hell.

Scientists Invent First Male Contraceptive Pill....
Scientists have been working on a male contraceptive pill for decades, but unlike the female version, a male contraceptive pill has proven to be elusive. The problem is that it’s much easier to stop ovulation without any long term side effects than it is to thwart sperm production. But a group in Israel now claims that it’s done just that.
The breakthrough pill could be available...
