The little tyrant everyone loves to hate.
“Science is primarily an investigation of our place of the Universe — the place that people occupy in a world which ranges from the tiniest subatomic particles to the furthest reaches of space and time. We do not exist in isolation, and science is a human cultural activity, not a purely dispassionate striving after truth, no matter how hard we might try. It is all about where we came from, and where we are going. And it is the most exciting story ever told.” — John Gribbin’s 1997 meditation from the introduction to Almost Everyone’s Guide to Science: The Universe, Life and Everything (via fieldnotesbiologyculture)

Tony Stark has excellent taste in cars. Under the new edgy exterior for the movie, the Avengers NSX is classic ‘91 Acura NSX. A 270 horsepower 3.0 litre V6 street legend.
Samsung is such a troll haha. S Voice, their virtual assistant, is a dead ringer for Siri. My impressions aren’t favorable in the few minutes I’ve played around with it. While it adds a few commands that don’t yet exist in Google Voice Actions, it’s voice recognition is far inferior. It’s not able to understand more vague questions default to web searches more often than not.
