Apple admits that 5.0.1 update hasn't fixed the battery problem for 4S owners
Since the release of the iPhone 4S, users of the latest Apple handset have been plagued by less-than-stellar battery life. Apple promptly addressed the issue and planned to rectify it with a software update that would patch whatever bugs were causing the battery’s juices to leak all over the digital floor, so to speak. Well, it just so happens that the recent 5.0.1 update — that went live a few days ago — not only did nothing to fix the battery problem, but it also made the issue more widespread to 4S owners who never even had battery difficulties to begin with. in the wake of this PR disaster, Apple wants to let you know they’re aware of it.— More after the break!

Incredible time lapse of Earth rotating captured from space - Video
Incredible time lapse of Earth rotating captured from space - Video
This is just bliss, watching the days (literally) roll by before your eyes. The bright lights of the city, trance of the Auroras and the glow of the ocean makes our planet look like something out of a Sci-Fi movie. The video was captured by the crew aboard the International Space Station using a special low-light 4K-camera. Make sure you jump over to Vimeo and watch it in HD… it would be a crime not to…

Siri "mind control" iPhone 4S hack is fake, here's the breakdown
It’s called “Project Black Mirror” and it’s quickly become a sensation among technology enthusiasts. Why it’s so awesome is because it takes raw brain activity and translates it into commands Siri (iPhone 4s) can understand, essentially allowing you to control your iPhone with your mind. In theory, Project Black Mirror sounds incredible, and the video demonstrations are mind-blowing, but instead of riding the wave of hype, we decided to wait for the dust to settle and stand by for the voice of reason to emerge. The verdict (as it stands) is Project Black Mirror is 100% fake. We explain the buzz-kill after the break!

This is an invisibility cloak made from carbon nanotube sheets - Video
An invisibility cloak made from carbon nanotube sheets sounds like something out of a James Bond film doesn’t it? I mean, you can see that a switch is flicked and something vanishes but whats more exciting is that we may be able tape ourselves to the top of a car, put a cloak on it and make it look like we’re flying like Superman!

Guy steals kid's copy of Skyrim outside Gamestop
So here we have a classic story of the kid who worked his butt off for weeks to save up $70, sold his worldly possessions, rode his bike to the store 2 miles away, just to walk out of the store and have his new copy of Skyrim snatched out of his hands by a scumbag. You’d think that would be the end of the story, but things took a turn for the better.

Honda's Asimo gets upgraded, can now run and hop, stomp you to death and then run -- (Video)
Honda's Asimo gets upgraded, can now run and hop, stomp you to death and then run -- (Video)
They’re coming. Can you feel it? Our robot overlords are getting stronger, better, and faster. Not sure if they’re getting harder, but you get the point! Asimo has been the leading robot for quite some time, and it would seem that with each passing year he becomes more and more lifelike. I say we pull the plug before it gets too late, but then again that’s just me. I’ve seen enough movies with a human apocolypse brought about by robot-kind to think anything otherwise.
