Samsung unveils web-surfing fridge
Posted by Annie Colbert
Would you like a Google search with that glass of milk? Or maybe a funny YouTube clip with that late-night snack? Trips to the kitchen just became more wired with Samsung’s debut of a fridge with built-in internet.
The “Zipel e-Diary” boasts a 10-inch touch screen perfect for displaying pictures or browsing the internet for last-minute dinner recipe ideas. The fancy fridge has a 2.49 million won ($2,174 USD) price tag, but Samsung says they have no immediate plans to offer it outside South Korea. Eh, we'll just have to stick to the low-tech fridge and show off family photos with an old, tried-and-true magnet.

Mega-tsunamis stoke up the Sun's atmosphere
Posted by Futurity
Physicists at the University of Sheffield have discovered that transition region quakes power the lower base of the Sun's corona. The quakes take the form of mega-tsunamis generated by plasma jets.
"We may now get a step closer to resolve one of the greatest puzzles of astrophysics—why the atmosphere of stars, like the Sun, is so much hotter than its surface," says Robertus von Fay-Siebenburgen, a professor in the Department of Applied Mathematics.

How bungee boarding works
Posted by HowStuffWorks.com
People who enjoy board sports often have a need for speed. But many -- especially those who don't have access to hills or ramps -- don't know how to get it. A riverboarder named Kevin Veon started tackling these acceleration issues in 2004 by experimenting with a braided rubber cord, and that's how bungee boarding was born.
Bungee boarding is a wild new adventure sport. It goes like this: You take a tough, 20-foot-long elastic cord. Tie one end to a tree beside a river, attach the other end to a small surfboard, and wade in. If you hold the board underwater, flat against the current, the pressure of the water pushes you downstream. When the cord has stretched as far as it will go, mount the board and angle it upward (in the direction from which you came) so that the current pushes it to the surface. With the force of the current greatly diminished, the stretched cord pulls the board -- and you with it -- back upstream at around 30 miles per hour. That's bungee boarding in a nutshell.Read on to learn more about the physical forces that make this sport possible.

Glaucoma’s blindness starts in the brain
Posted by Futurity
The first sign of injury in glaucoma occurs in the brain, not the eye as previously thought.
“If you followed the disease long enough, eventually the optic nerve, then the retina, show signs of degeneration,” explains David Calkins, associate professor of ophthalmology at Vanderbilt University. “So the degeneration works in reverse order. It starts in the brain and works its way back to the retina so that in the very latest stages of the disease, the earliest structures, the ones nearest the eye, are the last to go.”

Why little touches mean so much
Posted by Catherine Faas
Before you completely commit your life to a protective bubble built out of hand sanitizer, read this article. New research suggests that a warm quick hug, a Jerey Shore-worthy fist pump, or a friendly high five can communicate a wide range of emotions—often times more accuratel than words. What’s more, is that touchy-feely people tend to achieve higher levels of motivation and success than those who keep their hands firmly shoved in their pockets.

Totally inspiring story of Pandora
Posted by Guy Kawasaki
Do you use Pandora? It’s the music service that helps you find music that you’d like. It’s been around for ten years now and has frequently been on the edge of death. Now it has 48 million users and did $50 million in revenue in 2009. The company will probably do $100 million this year.
CEO Tim Westergren and his team have shown how perseverance, a great product, and nimbleness can yield success. Pandora is a great inspiration for tech entrepreneurs. The New York Times has a great profile of the company where you can learn how:
- Tim made 348 pitches to venture capitalists to raise money.
- He couldn’t pay his employees for two years.
- 35,000 people a day were installing the Pandora iPhone app.
Disclosure: Garage Technology Ventures is an investor in Pandora (because of the efforts of Geoff Baum).

Sao Paulo: The city that scrubbed all its ads
Posted by Noelle Chun
Here’s an interesting tidbit: In 2007, the city of Sao Paulo eliminated every semblance of advertisement from the large city metropolis—part of a bigger effort by its mayor to make the city, instead of the ads, the focal point of beauty. The video above gives just a taste of how the Clean City Law has transformed the fourth biggest metropolis in the world.
