Right now, Amazon is a great place to shop because it’s got a huge selection of literally everything, great prices, fast shipping and no state sales tax. For now.

After their golden days (right before the iPhone and Android), RIM’s Blackberry platform has been stumbling along like an old town drunk, never quite able to get back its footing.

Geneticist wants to remind you that it's totally...
Einstein did it, as did Darwin. If you trace through your family tree, you’d probably discover that you’re descended from quite a few people that got it on with first and second cousins. These days, most people have a much wider selection of potential mates, but if you were thinking about it… don’t worry. Fucking your cousins is totally cool, genetically. Not only is it...

For the football team of the University of Oregon in Eugene, pot is just part of the culture and it’s something many players credit to the team’s success. Oh yeah, well that’s Oregon, right?

The British government and the city of London are absolutely not in any way fucking around with security at this summer’s Olympic games. Of the many anti-terrorist techniques they’ll be using will be to put missile launchers on the rooftops of residential flats, just in case they have to shoot down something like a hijacked plane in a hurry. And some London residents aren’t...

Disneyland Paris might be a getting a 'Star Wars...
When it first opened in 1992, Disneyland Paris was a bit of a joke and was a money pit of a project for Disney for a while. By now, things have picked up and Disneyland Paris is doing pretty well, and in 2015, they’ll be getting a Star Wars Land park. Okay, so I’ve gotten used to Lucas shitting all over the franchise, but I’d still love to see a Star Wars park in the US. All we...

So what should we get? We like the look of the Alienware ones but they're kind pricey so today we had a look at a Toshiba...

The problem is I don't get the same adrenal response that I used to. It's hard to get me excited about...

I couldn’t find an embed code, but Buzzfeed has hard-coded the video on their site for your enjoyment and it looks pretty epic! Though there may be way too much cgi, that’s just how SyFy rolls these days. Still, I can’t wait… if it ever happens.
SyFy has put Blood and Chrome on hold indefinitely for TV, but it still may become a web series.
