Herve le bug d’amour

Published by Matthew under Futurama

So my honorable friend Dennis pointed me toward this little gem. The Smart Fortwo car. It’s itty bitty. I’m guessing it’s secretly a TARDIS because how are you going to fit two supersized A-mer-a-cuns in it otherwise? Somehow I’m thinking that the Walmarters of the world aren’t going to be that interested…cuz, you know, it’s only got 2 cupholders. Seriously though it gets incredible mileage as you might expect, and is perfect for urban living. Finally we’re taking a page out of the European book of car design; smaller is often smarter.

Apple schools us on what ultra-mobile computing can be. Forget those paperback book sized bastardizations…this is a workin’, travelin’ machine.

Finally, a handy Map of the Universe

Map o' the Universe



Cosmologists at the University of Durham have produced a map of the distribution of matter in the Universe. The simulation took a supercomputer 11 days to produce and could help shed light on the nature of dark energy - a repulsive force thought to counteract gravity.
