Yahoo spent a reported $30 million on Summly, a staggering sum for a teenager's 5-month-old app. But Summly could help Yahoo seem relevant again.
An ever-present cyclone in the atmosphere above Venus' south pole is more chaotic and unpredictable than previously thought. Considering that Venus is not the only world with some crazy atmospheric dynamics, here we take a look at the solar system's most incredible polar vortices.
The Multimedia Messaging Service is not an illicit file-sharing protocol, a federal appeals court ruled, setting aside Monday a complaint from an MMS-greeting-card supplier that claimed the nation's largest telecoms helped consumers infringe via MMS texting.

The hits just keep getting killed off. Until recently Google allowed you to stop certain domains from showing up in Google search results, but now the company has discontinued its site-blocking tool and suggests replacing it with a far less capable Chrome extension.
The new Thumbs & Ammo blog started as a joke amongst friends in England, but when it hit the internet it quickly became a viral hit. Contributors photoshop guns out of famous movie stills, replacing the weapons with a thumbs up.
A new study suggests that swallows may be evolving shorter wings to fly with more precision and avoid getting hit by cars, the first example I'm aware of where a species has independently evolved in response to human technology in order to become more awesome.

So you can't wait for a self-driving car to take away the drudgery of driving? Me neither! But consider this scenario, recently posed by neuroscientist Gary Marcus: Your car is on a narrow bridge when a school bus veers into your lane. Should your self-driving car plunge off the bridge—sacrificing your life to save those ...
Eugene Vasserman is uneasy about his digital pedometer. The company that makes the thing doesn't know his name, age, or gender, but it does track his every step and his location. "They know where I sleep. They know my address," says the Kansas State University cybersecurity and privacy researcher.
Thanks to new observation technologies, powerful software, and statistical methods, the mechanics of collectives are being revealed. Indeed, enough physicists, biologists, and engineers have gotten involved that the science itself seems to be hitting a density-dependent shift.
Alligators, crocodiles and gharials aren't known for their easygoing nature -- and they get even less friendly when you force them to run on a treadmill. But it's worth it, because watching crocodilians exercise might teach us how dinosaurs breathed.

This exceptional image of the Horsehead nebula was taken at the National Science Foundation's 0.9-meter telescope on Kitt Peak with the NOAO Mosaic CCD camera. Located in the constellation of Orion, the Hunter, the Horsehead is part of a dense cloud of gas in front of an active star-forming nebula known as IC434. The nebulosity of the Horsehead is believed to be excited by the bright star Sigma Orionis, which is located above the top of the image. Just off the left side of the image is the bright star Zeta Orionis, which is the easternmost of the three stars that form Orion's belt. Zeta Orionis is a foreground star, and is not related to the nebula.
Near-Earth Asteroids are prime targets for exploration, a fact realized in the 1970s. Such asteroids offer short-duration, low-cost opportunities to sample the Main Belt of asteroids between Mars and Jupiter, from which most originate. In his latest Beyond Apollo post, historian David S. F. Portree looks at a 1978 bid to launch robotic and piloted missions to Near-Earth Asteroids.
Roadtrippers is a travel-planning app designed for people who like to spend their vacations hunting for Bigfoot.
On March 18, 2011, NASA?s MESSENGER spacecraft entered orbit around Mercury, becoming the first spacecraft ever to do so. Among the many instruments on this pioneering probe is a wide-angle camera capable of generating high-resolution images of the planet?s surface. By stitching thousands of these images together, scientists created the first complete map of Mercury. The result isn?t just a pretty picture. The map?s enhanced colors, produced by special filters fitted on the camera, tell a story about the chemical, mineralogical and geological history of the innermost planet in our solar system. Young craters, for example, appear light blue or white. Tan regions mark plains formed by lava flows. Dark blue represents areas rich in a dark mineral. Watch the visualization for a tour of this colorful new view of Mercury.
