Unedited: When Everyone Told Me I Was Super Dumb for Loving This 'Idiotic' Dip Bowl [Food]
Warren Buffett Is A Punk
Warren Buffett is like my ten year old. When she gives me some BS story about something she needs or something she is suggesting there's always a good reason for it. But whenever there's a good reason, there's always a real reason. And the two are starkly different. My job is to figure out the real reason while horse vomit is still spitting out of her ten year old mouth. With Buffett it's the same. He's like this saintly investor who can do no wrong in the public perception.? He's America's grandpa investor, filled with sexual innuendos made honest and funny in that way that elderly people can transform ancient history into metaphor. And while he's talking and you're smiling, he very quietly tries to put his hand in your pants, on your wallet. It's all innocent. Until you realize he just got more rich and you got more broke. And then you're in handcuffs. And then you're dead.san francisco 49ers giants vs 49ers sf 49ers joe paterno died 49ers game ravens ray lewis
Tesla coil gun exists, may shoot lightning
Inspired by the graphic novel "Five Fists of Science" -- and perhaps encouraged by the plucky MIT student who made his own Tesla coil hat and survived -- a DIYer named Rob designed a Tesla coil gun, which he says is fully functional. Rob used a Nerf gun cast in aluminum for the housing and created a high voltage switch with a 3D powder printer. The gun is powered by an 18V ion drill battery and a flyback transformer housed inside a PVC plumbing end cap. Though Rob has yet to fire the gun, photos show what he says are sparks from the setup, and a demo clip is on the way. While video proof is always nice, so is preserving your life. We wish Rob the best with both.

Amazing photo shows 'swarm' of stars
Tens of thousands of stars can be seen clustered together in a new image.
A ball of some of the oldest stars in the universe looks like a swarm of bees in a new view from an observatory in Chile.?
Skip to next paragraphThe photo, released today (May 9), was taken by a European Southern Observatory telescope and shows 100,000 stars crowded together in Messier 55, a globular star cluster located roughly 17,000 light-years from Earth in the constellation Sagittarius (The Archer). It is one of about 160 globular clusters orbiting the outskirts of our Milky Way galaxy.
Scientists suspect the stars in globular clusters formed from single clouds of gas that condensed to make stars around the same time, around 10 billion years ago. That makes these stars some of the most ancient known. As such, they provide valuable archaeological evidence about what the universe was like not long after the Big Bang is thought to have given rise to it.
"As this formative period was just a few billion years after the Big Bang, nearly all of the gas on hand was the simplest, lightest and most common in the cosmos: hydrogen, along with some helium and much smaller amounts of heavier chemical elements such as oxygen and nitrogen," scientists with the European Southern Observatory wrote in a statement.
Astronomers estimate the universe is about 13.7 billion years old. In contrast, our own star, the sun, formed only 4.6 billion years ago, and is made of more complex, heavier elements that were around at this later epoch.
The new image was taken at the 4.1-metre Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA) at the Paranal Observatory in Chile's Atacama desert.
The cluster Messier 55 (also known asNGC 6809) is easily visible through a small telescope, and stretches about two-thirds the width of the full moon across the sky. It was first observed in 1752 by French astronomer Nicolas Louis de Lacaille, and later added by another French astronomer, Charles Messier, into his famous catalog of bright objects.

Pebble ties itself up in Twine: sounds so rustic, couldn't be any less (video)
Take an e-ink smartwatch that's got plenty of willing customers, throw in a WiFi-connected sensor box and well, imagine the possibilities. The founders behind Pebble and Twine hope you are, because they have announced that the pair will be connectable through the latter's web-based interface. This means you'll be able to setup text notifications to your wrist when your laundry's done, when someone's at your door and plenty more mundane real-world tasks. A brief video explains how it should all go down, but try not to get too excited -- pre-orders are sadly sold out.

Will Ferrell And Zach Galifianakis Square Off In 'Campaign' Trailer

Will Ferrell's character in the upcoming comedy "The Campaign" is sure to learn that the hard way.

Nina Dobrev Appears on Conan, Performs Crotch-Based Yoga
Well, now we know what Ian Somerhalder sees in Nina Dobrev.
The Vampire Diaries star appeared on Conan last night and fulfilled her vow to practice a bit of Yoga for the host and his audience. But she required O'Brien's assistance.
So Conan leaped over his desk, Dobrev removed her shoes and jacket, fellow guest Joel McHale uttered "this is awesome" and the actress proceeded to perform a pose dubbed "The Scorpion," using O'Brien as her "wall." Or O'Brien's crotch, to be more specific.
Watch the fun (sexy!) clip below, which is followed by a hilarious reaction from the comedian. Best job ever? It's at least in the top five.

Total Recall 'Mind-Bending' Blu-ray remembers a better looking video transfer July 31st
After a disappointing initial go-round on Blu-ray back in '06 due to poor picture quality (which was improved upon slightly in a later Studiocanal release overseas), the 1990 version of Total Recall is coming back to the US with a "Mind-Bending Blu-ray Edition this summer. Timed to hit shelves along with the remake that's arriving in theaters, Blu-ray.com mentions this one promises a video transfer process supervised by original director Paul Verhoeven. There will even apparently be brand new extras including an interview with Verhoeven and featurette comparing the restoration process from the original film negative, although the Governator himself Arnold Schwarzenegger appears to be absent. The new version should run $14.99 when it arrives July 31st, assuming you're not already camped out for the Colin Farrell / Kate Beckinsale / Jessica Biel flick which opens up August 3rd. Theatrical trailers for both versions follow after the break.

Nokia loses UK appeal against IPCom's pointless patent posturing
Nokia has had its appeal dismissed in the UK High Court in its Europe-wide patent battle against IPCom. The court found that the handset maker had infringed the German firm's 3G patent, but only on the Nokia N96 -- a phone the company no longer sells. IPCom can now request a ban on all British sales of the 2008 handset, a move that will probably affect tens of people. We've got an official response from Nokia's Mark Durrant after the break.
