Computing Classic: The Kitchen Computer [Retromodo]
Posted by Xenos 2 days ago (http://gizmodo.com)
The 1969 Kitchen Computer by Honeywell was not just a fancy cutting board. It was meant to store recipes, even recommending meals from ingredients on hand. The problem is, you had to know binary to use it. The machine's designers assumed that housewives would do all the cooking, and yet, also assumed they'd be open to learning binary: is the Honeywell Kitchen Computer the most or least sexist com

Posted by Xenos 3 days ago (http://gizmodo.com)
Here's what happens when you give a 13-year-old from 2009 a Sony Walkmanthe tape kindand ask him to figure it out without any outside help: incredible confusion. To the kid's credit, he was able to deduce that the tape had two sides (took him three days) and that you could switch between two kinds of tapes fairly easily. He was also given weird looks on the street and allowed to listen to music i

Desktop PCs have been in decline for a decade, and countless people have said their piece about it. But new evidence suggests the desktop tower's death spiral is underwayand we're not too broken up about it. I say this as a guy who was baptized into the tech world with a desktop; who still obsessively follows the latest PC components from Intel, Nvidia, ATI and the like; who has built, fixed or u

What would happen if your town got nuked?
Posted by Xenos 4 days ago (http://feedproxy.google.com)
Not that it's particularly likely, but as long as nuclear bombs exist, there's the chance - however slim - that one might go off somewhere near you. This little Google Maps overlay might be a bit morbid, but it's also pretty fascinating. It shows you the heat, pressure and fallout spread of a range of different nuclear bombs detonating anywhere in the world. It's particularly sobering to get a se

Posted by Xenos 5 days ago (http://gizmodo.com)
This Guardian report says that North Korea would hit the United States with a "fire shower" of nukes if we attack first. But how far can NK deliver the 5-7 nukes that they're currently suspected of having? According to Wikipedia, it depends. If they're using the short to medium range missiles, it's probably going to be the Musudan, which has an operational range of 2500-4000 kilometers. The darke

Anti-Abuse Bus Stop Ad Only Batters Women When Nobody's Looking [Advertising]
Posted by Xenos 5 days ago (http://gizmodo.com)
Amnesty International has installed a new anti-domestic-abuse ad fixture in Hamburg, Germany which is equal parts clever and shocking: when you look at the photo, it's a smiling couple; when you look away, it's a dude punchin' a lady.
