| Facebook Home, a YOLO Controversy and Other Top Comments Posted: 06 Apr 2013 07:55 PM PDT  There was a lot of speculation over what Facebook's big announcement would be this past Thursday.

| Incredible Coffee Art Takes Lattes to a Whole New Level Posted: 06 Apr 2013 05:59 PM PDT  Self-proclaimed "esspressionist" Mike Breach creates beautiful coffee art while on-the-job as a New York City-based barista Breach draws detailed images into his lattes, and gained an online following after posting photos of the designs on his personal Tumblr, Baristart. From Britney Spears to Albert Einstein, famous faces dominate his work. Breach first started honing his talent while working in the back of a hotel kitchen, alongside an unused espresso machine, according to Tumblr's Storyboard blog. To pass time, he taught himself how to inscribe hearts into coffee foam, using a bamboo skewer as his brush. Soon, the coffee artist made increasingly intricate designs, eventually churning out portraits of Salvador Dalì and Beyoncé. For more on his process, watch the video, below. Read more...

Can Roger Sterling — and the firm as a whole — remain relevant in the dog-eat-dog world of advertising? How will the show's characters adjust from the straight-laced early '60s to the seismic cultural and political shifts headed their way? Read more...

| Indian Students Develop Anti-Rape Underwear With Electric Shocks Posted: 06 Apr 2013 04:07 PM PDT  Following the violent gang-rape of a New Delhi woman last year that made international headlines, engineering students in India have created anti-rape underwear that they say will prevent sexual assault Called Society Harnessing Equipment, or SHE, the device will deliver up to 82 electric shocks of 3,800 kV to an attacker, according to The Times of India. To prevent the wearer from being shocked, SHE's inner side is "insulated with a polymer," according to creators Niladri Basu, Manisha Mohan and Rimpi Tripathy, students at SRM University, Chennai. The device is also equipped with GPS that can deliver alerts to police and the victim's parents. Read more... More about India, Rape, Tech, Gadgets, and World |
| Creepy PETMAN Robot Tries On Protective Suit, Walks Like a Boss Posted: 06 Apr 2013 02:58 PM PDT  Boston Dynamics, maker of the most uncanny walking robots in the world, has just taken its humanoid experimentation a step further. Now the robot-locomotion experts are using their PETMAN anthropomorphic robot to see how well protective clothing works in the real world.
When you watch the video above, notice PETMAN's human-like gait. It's getting close to looking like a human walking, especially when dressed in that camo gear, but still resembles an old man walking through deep snow. Even so, it's a remarkable achievement, and certainly functions as a realistic testbed for determining whether this hazmat suit will remain airtight in harsh or toxic environments. Read more...

Regardless of on-field results, which teams dominate digitally? The infographic below, which comes by way of digital marketing company Silverpop, takes a look
If you hate the Yankees, prepare to be disgusted. The Bronx Bombers — possibly by virtue of playing in New York, possibly by virtue of being a huge global brand — have a major leg up in social media popularity. Here's one example: they have a whopping 29 times as many Facebook fans as the nearby Washington Nationals Read more... More about Mlb, Entertainment, and Sports |

| 5 'Mad Men'-Era Developments Still in Use Today Posted: 06 Apr 2013 10:03 AM PDT  As the advertising-agency drama Mad Men debuts its sixth season on Sunday, many of the things you see on the show will look similar to what we have today. We're not talking about miniskirts and knee-high boots, but rather ATMs and cable TV. The show's sixth season begins in the late '60s, a period that saw exciting developments in flight, medicine, banking, TV and communications. And much that was new then is still the norm in 2013. Jumbo jets: On Sept. 30, 1968, the first Boeing 747 rolled out of a gargantuan assembly plant in Everett, Wash. The "jumbo jet" or "queen of the skies" was set to revolutionize the commercial airline industry with the largest passenger plane, able to carry 374 passengers. Fast forward to 2013, when Boeing's next big contribution to passenger flight, its 787 Dreamliner, was grounded by the Federal Aviation Administration due to battery problems. Boeing's 747 line has carried 3.5 billion people since its maiden flight in the late '60s and continues to be the most popular jumbo jet in the skies. Read more...

| This Week's Greatest Moments in 23 Photos Posted: 06 Apr 2013 08:28 AM PDT  While you were working, playing and going about your life this week, we were watching the world for you.

| Facebook Home Can be Disabled on the HTC First for Stock Android Posted: 06 Apr 2013 08:06 AM PDT  It turns out the upcoming HTC First handset pre-loaded with the Facebook Home launcher is actually running stock Android as its base. A HTC spokesperson confirmed that a user can disable Facebook Home to run stock Android on the handset instead. The HTC First is the "first smartphone out of the Taiwanese-based company since the 2010 T-Mobile G2 handset not to run HTC's custom Sense overlay," Phandroid first discovered. Given HTC's commitment to Sense, whether customers dig it or not, this is a surprising move.
It's worth noting stock Android doesn't mean that the HTC First will get the executive treatment like the Nexus devices out of Google in terms of getting the latest version of Android. Stock Android means there's no extra OEM dazzle. Notifications, menus, and other elements of stock Android can be found baked in with Facebook Home. Read more...

| 5 Tips for Cold-Emailing Your Dream Employer Posted: 06 Apr 2013 07:18 AM PDT  Jess Adamiak is on a mission to help you communicate better. Her online Skillshare class, Stop Sending Ineffective Emails: How to Write to Get Results, kicks off April 10th. Before dedicating her life to email evangelism, Jess worked as an editor for The Huffington Post, American Express Publishing, and Hearst Digital. Contact her on LinkedIn or Twitter. If you've read an article about job searching — ever — chances are you know that 70% to 80% of positions never get advertised. This reality is mega-frustrating when you're hunting for a new gig. You can hit up desirable employers directly, but the "cold" email method is rife with uncertainty. Is reaching out to someone you've never met even worth the effort? Well, yes and no: The counterintuitive trick to cold-emailing employers is to never send a cold email. No matter how clear, concise or witty your message, its likelihood of yielding the desired response — actually, any response — is low. Employers are busy, their inboxes are packed and you're a stranger. Read more... More about Email, Features, Career, Feature, and Job Search Series |
