Getting up close and personal with our avian friends can be pretty difficult. They're just too skittish for photo shoots, but a new invention from Bryson Lovett will have the birds flocking to you for their headshots. The Bird Photo Booth merges a classically designed bird feeder with your iPhone or GoPro camera, snapping photos of any bird that swoops in for a bite to eat. Read More...

GIF by our pals, Mr. Gif (congrats on going legit!)
GIF's, the ubiquitous animated images that make up 99.9% of all that is the Internet have finally gotten their infitely repeating moment in the sun thanks to Oxford American Dictionary. The Ox (as I and no one else call it) has chosen GIF as its word of the year, beating out fellow inter-speak thing YOLO (you only live once). GIF made the cut due to its transition from noun, meaning "a lossless format for compressing image files" to verb as in "to gif."

There's no surprise anymore when you see t-shirts or sneakers that light up, but a high-end dress that streams a live Twitter feed? Well, let's just say pop singer Nicole Scherzinger got more than a few looks when she wore just that to a recent event in London. Read More...

Apple has spent a lot of time (and money) to make sure we all now how cool Siri is. Though they may have had some trouble with the new Maps app, Siri has always been a pretty well-oiled machine and the iOS 6 update made the soft-spoken companion even better. But it looks like Google is hot their heels, as the Google Search app has recently been updated with all-new voice search features, including an awfully familiar voice that talks back to you.

We humans have dreamed of taking to the skies in flight since our inception. Well, too bad! People can't fly and unless you have loads of dough just lying around your house you won't be buying anything to make you fly. Thankfully, there are loads of awesome flying toys that we can control instead. The latest is the iStrike Shuttle, an iOS controlled drone of sorts that will drop ping pong balls on your unsuspecting co-workers. Yep, office warfare is about to go airborne. Read More...

The tractor beams seen in shows like "Star Trek" have become staple of the sci-fi genre, and now it looks like some clever physicists are getting closer than ever to making them a reality. It may not be the starship halting tractor beam we've seen in the movies, but the team was able to use an optical beam to pull a 1.5 micrometer silica sphere suspended in water, proving that a tractor beam could actually exist.
