China Defense Ministry Blasts Mandiant Hacking Report

China's defense ministry staged a news conference Wednesday to deny and decry a report that the People's Liberation Army was engaged in cyberwarfare against U.S. corporations, organizations and government agencies. The denial specifically addressed the bombshell Mandiant hacking study, which declared that the PLA's Unit 61398, located near Shanghai, was one of the world's "most aggressive computer hacking operations."

2,000 Tinted Carnations Make For Beautifully Tedious Art

Over the years a talented artist by the name of Hong Yi has created portraits using obscure mediums like stacked books, coffee cup stains, basketballs and paint, and even melted candles. And now she's back with one of her most tedious creations to date: a portrait of Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi made from carefully dyed carnations. More »

Nate Silver Offers Up a Statistical Analysis of Your Failing Relationship

While data shows that overall happiness in your relationship fell 8 more points, there is still a 31 percent chance of makeup sex this Friday, depending on average energy levels after work and how proactive you're feeling (see chart). However, if you just order $18 of Chinese takeout like you did last weekend, projections show a 16.8 percent drop in possible intercourse and a whopping 74.2 percent upswing in Netflix-streaming, with both of you falling asleep long before the movie is over.

The World Needs These Star Wars and Indiana Jones Versions of Donkey Kong

Look at these amazing Star Wars and Indiana Jones—and Batman and Sesame Street and Dr- Who...—conversions of Donkey Kong. I want to play them so badly. Unfortunately, they are not real editions of the original Nintendo's arcade, but designs by Baznet. They make for awesome t-shirts, but they would make for even more awesome videogames. More »

Zen Bound 2 for iPhone and iPad review

Zen Bound 2 for iPhone and iPad review

Zen Bound 2 is a very relaxing game in which you must wrap rope around a wooden object, and as you do, paint is applied to the object. The objective is to cover the entire object with paint, all while enjoying the relaxing and soothing environment the object is floating in.

In each level of Zen Bound, a strange wooden object floats in front of a beautiful background with soothing music playing. There's a nail in one end of it with a rope attached. With intuitive gestures, you spin the object around with the goal of wrapping the rope around it. As the rope touches the wood, paint appears on the object at the point of contact (plus a little more). Some levels have extra nails with paint balls at the end, and when the rope touches these, paint splatters on a fairly large area of the wood. The goal is to cover the object with as much paint as possible before tying the rope around the finishing nail.

The good

  • Beautiful graphics (fancy shaders, realistic lighting)
  • Over 100 levels
  • 45-minute soundtrack from 'Ghost Monkey'
  • Relaxing
  • Challenging
  • Retina Display and Gyro sensor support
  • Game Center achievements
  • Universal for iPhone and iPad

The bad

  • No complaints

The bottom line

Zen Bound 2 is the perfect game for puzzle lovers who are looking for something a little more relaxing. This is a no-stress game where you can take your time completing each level. The soothing atmosphere makes Zen Bound meditative and therapeutic while at the same time being a challenge.

Mophie Juice Pack Air arrives for the iPhone 5, offers up to 8 hours more talk time

Mophie Juice Pack Air arrives for the iPhone 5, offers up to 8 hours more talk timeWell known accessory manufacturer Mophie has announced its latest accessory for the iPhone 5. The Mophie Juice Pack Air is the second iPhone 5 accessory to offer prolonged usage by packing an additional battery into a small form case specifically for the iPhone 5.

The ideal case for the everyday 9-5er and for those whose day doesn?t always end when they leave the office. Lighter and thinner than previous generations, but packed with more power to make sure your phone can keep up with your busy lifestyle. Up to 100% extra battery with the flip of a switch. Turn on the case when your battery runs low to stay fully charged through the late nights.

From the dawn patrollers to the parents rushing to get the kids off to school. From the busy day filled with meetings and presentations to the day off filled with errands and friends. The juice pack air ensures you have more than enough power packed into a streamlined, protective case so you?re ready to take on the day.

The Mophie Juice Pack Air comes with a 1700mAh battery neatly hidden away in a very nice looking iPhone 5 case. It charges via the included micro USB cable which can be plugged into any computer or ?Made for iPhone? power source

The case also comes with a pass-through 3.5mm audio jack so you can still plug in your headphones when the case is fitted to your iPhone 5. The Mophie Juice Pack Air also works as a virtual speaker box enhancing the sound of the iPhone 5?s built in speaker. If you want to sync your device you can do it wirelessly but the case would need to be removed if you want to tether it to a Mac or PC.

The Mophie Juice Pack Air will cost $99.95 and will be available in white, black or red; with black available first on March 7. If you want to hold off for the red or white case then you will need some patience as they will not be available until March 22.
