Most programming languages researchers found in the study were elementary, such as C# and Visual Basic. Check out the video, above, for more.

| A GIF Guide to the 2013 Grammy Awards Posted: 09 Feb 2013 07:00 PM PST It might not be a Beyonce-led halftime show, but the 2013 Grammy Awards on Sunday will at least be moderately entertaining. Even with CBS-sanctioned conservative fashion choices, "music's biggest night" always finds a way to surprise with its one-time-only collaborations and major performances. The 55th annual outing promises to bring Justin Timberlake out safely from his labyrinth of hallways and will likely mark the return to the stage for Adele. The ceremony airs 8 p.m. ET on CBS, so prep yourself for an onslaught of Two Broke Girls ads and some live GIFs on our Tumblr. Here are the eight performers we're looking forward to watching. 1.

| Watch What Happens When You Drop a White-Hot Nickel Ball on Ice Posted: 09 Feb 2013 06:15 PM PST
Once we began watching this short clip that lasts less than a minute, we found it strangely mesmerizing. Watch the ball of nearly-molten nickel eating its way through the ice, as if it were some sort of ultra-powerful acid eating through glass. No wonder the thing's gone viral after being online for just one day. It's part of an online collection of YouTube videos by a scientist and video producer who calls himself carsandwater. He aims to please, saying, "With a request to place a red-hot nickel ball on a block of ic… More About: viral video, YouTube  |

| Now You Can Watch 6 Vine Videos of the Blizzard at Once Posted: 09 Feb 2013 03:17 PM PST
It was allegedly written in an hour by GroupMe Founder Steve Martocci (@smart) and Poptip founder Kelsey Falter (@kfalter) as they both visited the Founders Weekend conference in Las Vegas.

The site is not completely stable at the moment, and when one video ends, you must click for another to load -- and then click again to start it playing. And it seems like there's a limited number of accounts attached to it.… More About: coding, entrepreneurs, nemo, Vine  |

| 5 Games You Should Play This Weekend Posted: 09 Feb 2013 09:23 AM PST 1. Dead Space 3 Action fans will be happy with the third entry into the Dead Space series, out this week. The game is a solid, long adventure into the horrors of a future where infected alien zombies lurk around every dark passage. While this is the furthest departure from the Dead Space horror formula -- it's more action than survival horror -- it still has the solid mechanics you'd come to expect from the series, including the beautiful way menus are handled. The co-op addition is very fun as well, so it's good to grab a friend. Dead Space 3 is out now for PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Click here to view this gallery.

In the weird department, how about a dress that turns clear when you get turned on? Gives the word "transparency" a whole new meaning, and could probably make dates a bit more fun. The dress was created by a Netherlands-based fashion designer. As for fascinating, British archaeologists unearthed the remains of controversial King Richard III, beneath a parking lot -- and researchers used them to create a 3D-printed reproduction of his face.
