Typography is one of the easiest super important parts of civilization to take for granted. It seems like it just sprouted where it is, weed-like. But an enormous amount of effort goes into every letter—here's a visual tour. More »
A leaked early version of RIM's upcoming BlackBerry Messenger 6 has been making the rounds since late February, but images of the new app are just now beginning to appear. Over at CrackBerry, the crew has shared a handful of images of BBM 6 in action. Unfortunately, you won't get a glimpse at a chat or file transfer -- only the profile screens (after the break) and what you see above. All that's really revealed so far is the option to set custom contact and chat colors and BlackBerry OS 6.1-style icons. CrackBerry also warns against installing the leaked BBM 6 app. There's no guarantee this app hasn't been tampered with, and BlackBerry devices are becoming a more common target for cybercriminals.
He?s played some pretty hardcore roles in his day, but Colin Farrell does have a soft side.
As the father of two sons, the ?Horrible Bosses? actor recently opened up about his 7-year-old son James? Angelman Syndrome during an appearance on ?Late Show with David Letterman.?
He told, "James, just a quick shout out if I can, James has a condition called Angelman Syndrome and it only affects one in 30,000 children, they say. So there?s not that much funding because it doesn?t benefit pharmaceutical companies, of course.?
Farrell added that if anyone wanted to help they could visit CureAngelman.org to donate. He also discussed a bit more about his son and how he was diagnosed.
?It was actually when a doctor saw how happy he was,? Colin explained. ?He was like, ?Does he always smile this much???
James started walking just short of his 4th birthday and doesn?t have any verbal speech, but Colin made sure to say that his son is ?a really happy boy.?
Right on cue, Google has launched in-app payment support for Android applications. Developer testing began last week, and now many popular apps -- like the ones pictured above -- can begin charging users for add-on functionality, content, or whatever the heck else they feel is worthy of additional bits of your pocket change. If you were wondering, Google will take the same 30% cut that Apple takes from in-app purchases. At last we can buy individual issues in Comics with minimal fuss!
I went to the premiere on Tuesday and it was the coolest thing ever. First, the movie is AMAZING and Chris Evans is a superstar. Second, there were so many damn people there it was insane. I have been to movie premieres in New York before and they were nothing like this. I mean, they closed down Hollywood Boulevard. I would've taken photos to show you, but the invite said to leave phones in the car. But here's a photo of me in my cool Captain America 3D glasses:
(Sit down, stop jumping around, it's an awesome picture, I know. And the quality is amazing. It's not grainy or reddish... it's perfect.) (No, it's not.)
(And you can totally see the Captain America logo on the side of the glasses.) (No, you can't.)
Anyway, Captain America is pulling a strong 71% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes right now so GO SEE IT! IT'S FANTASTIC!
Staff Sgt. Christopher Fessenden is alive right now thanks to a toy truck. Seriously. The toy truck was always sent ahead of him in Afghanistan to look for roadside bombs. Last week, it ran into a tripwire and exploded. More »
