You’ve heard the urban legend: in slumber we swallow, on average, 7 spiders a year. Now here’s a spider that you’d swallow intentionally. A cracker jack team of scientists in Italy have come up with a spider-like pill intended to film your insides to detect diseases and other potential health hazards. Personally, I would have [...]
Setting up a universal remote can be a big hassle. First you have to find the button combination to enter setup mode, and then you have to find the right code to enter — usually printed in small type in a user guide. Somtimes there is an auto-program feature, but these can be hit or [...]

Growing up, my body weight varied so drastically, I would have given even Renée Zellweger a run for her money.

I can’t help but get excited at the thought of a digital interface doing all [...]
The Tiger Beat crowd is going to get a kick out of this. Imagine that special real estate on your bedroom wall you always reserved for that totally awesome band, dreamy hunk or bodacious babe.
