German designers placed a high-tech, sensor-equipped chair in the middle of a palazzo in Milan last month to record stress points on the backsides of thousands of people. The goal? To determine how to design a lightweight and efficient chair that’s sturdy enough to support a wide variety of users. When someone sat in the chair, monitors recorded data and processed it with an “algorithm that determines the most structurally efficient version of the chair,” according to the blog Co.Design.

But now Griesel needs help putting his invention into more hands. He’s turning to crowdfunding platform Kickstarter to raise $100,000 to mass produce his “smart ski poles.” So far, 60 people  show all text

Out of the 55 million plus blogs that Tumblr is home to, more than 100 per day are part of the “Fuck Yeah” trend. Basically, if you like something — say, cats or Jason Schwartzman — there is an entire blog dedicated to photos, GIFs and other multimedia of that one thing. (Note: there is no Fuck Yeah Cats and Jason Schwartzman as of this writing.) Like other viral web phenomenons (“Sh*t Girls Say,” or What Should We Call Me, for example), one idea sparked a million different versions of the same...  show all text

Socialist challenger François Hollande unseated Nicolas Sarkozy in the French presidential election Sunday, making Sarkozy the first French president in 30 years to lose reelection. Twitter users circumvented an election results embargo — as they did April 22 during the first round of voting — by using code names for the two candidates. A 1977 French law prohibits the release of results before 8 p.m. on election night and fines violators up to $99,000. Discussions used the same hashtag, #radiol...  show all text

Who is the most subscribed woman on YouTube? If you guessed Rihanna, you’d be wrong by about 800,000 followers. With nearly 3 million people following her weekly videos, Jenna Marbles has built a powerful brand around her off-beat, low-tech humor. Those are rather astonishing numbers for webcam-style videos of a woman in her bedroom talking about farts to her two dogs. It’s even more astounding when you consider that she’s been at this just over two years. But the success that Marbles has exper...  show all text
