The best things in life last forever when captured by camera. But even with the iPhone 4S's 8 megapixel camera and faster CPU, it takes practice to get even reasonable results. But you don't need to spend hundreds on a point-and-shoot to get great shots on the go: get there faster with Boing Boing and MyLifeScoop's look at the best apps and add-ons. Top iPhone apps...
Judges Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman of MythBusters challenge a team of rocket scientists from NASA, Team Aerospace, and a family of special effects artists, Team NAC, to build a Fire and Ice themed multi-step machine. In the end, they will choose only one machine as the most innovative and creative. UNCHAINED REACTION, the new series executive produced by Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman of MYTHBUSTERS, airs Sundays at 10PM/ET/PT. The six-part series, for which Adam and Jamie also serve as judges, pits two teams of varying backgrounds against each other to build an elaborate chain reaction contraption. But they're not creating a mere string of dominoes - teams must utilize ingenuity, innovation and know-how to build contraptions on a massive scale. For UNCHAINED REACTION, teams made up of artists, rocket scientists, construction workers, animatronic specialists, engineers and motorcycle mechanics are provided with identical sets of tools and materials and given five days to complete a series of mechanisms based on a specific theme. It's the ultimate build-off pressure cooker, where refined mechanical movements, pyrotechnics and large-scale destruction are encouraged. Making a refrigerator a pendulum? Totally possible on UNCHAINED REACTION. Catapults? Flying saucers? Guillotines? Anything goes as long as they trigger the next link in the chain. Unchained...

My kids were fascinated by the device, and I enjoy ed pressing the spring-loaded lever to switch programs on the tape. The clunking sound it makes when it switches programs is deeply satisfying. The Man From...
At TED2012 I interviewed Joshuah Foer, who gave a presentation about his recent book, Moonwalking With Einstein: The Art and Science of Remembering Everything. In his book, Joshua writes about covering the United States Memory Championship for a magazine. He decided to enter the contest himself and learned many ancient as well as cutting-edge techniques for memorizing long lists of numbers, the order of cards in a deck, pictures of things, etc. He ended up winning the championship.
