Samsung Galaxy S4 Review: Good, Not Best

Since it arrived last year, the Galaxy S III has been the world’s best-selling, non-Apple smartphone. An impressive feat, but of course, this only builds expectations for the sequel, as does Samsung’s Megatron-sized hype-machine. Our first impressions of the S4 left us a little cold, but we just spent the last week in constant contact with the thing. Let’s see if we’ve warmed at all.

Ever gone for a long bike ride in unfamiliar territory? Probably used your phone’s GPS to help navigate, right? Convenient.

Last year’s Road Glove, with its spacious toe-box and foot-hugging upper, was our favourite minimal shoe for running. So, with the release of the Road Glove 2, we just had to see if the sequel was more Godfather II or Major League II.

Fitmodo: How Far Do You Run Playing Different Sports?

While watching sports, have you ever stopped (midway through a bowl of Cheetos) to wonder how far are those guys are actually running? It’s a common question, one that’s historically been subject mostly to guesswork, Thanks to some recent technological developments, we can now actually apply some data to it. So which of your heroes are putting in the hard yards?


Three Of This Generation’s Iconic Scientists Horsing Around Like Kids

Brian Green (author of The Elegant Universe) just posted this photo on his Facebook wall. There’s probably some context that would make this make sense, but really, just seeing three of our generation’s most iconic scientists screwing around like kids is enough to put a big fat grin on your face.


Bourbon Chocolate Bunnies: Make Your Easter Basket Boozy

Easter egg hunts were fine and good when you were a kid and sugar was the only rush you needed. But it’s time to set the marshmallows aside. It’s time to get drunk the Easter way.
