Watch LG Use IPS Displays to Trick Elevator Passengers Into Thinking They're About to Die

Watch LG Use IPS Displays to Trick Elevator Passengers Into Thinking They're About to Die:




There's nothing quite like a good prank, and what prank is better than convincing innocent people that they are about to meet their bitter, messy end? That's the path LG went down for this ad, where they use IPS displays to fool people—however briefly—that an elevator's floor is falling out from beneath them.
Presumably these are all random, innocent people, but it's an ad so you can be skeptical if you like. Regardless of what it may or may not say about how lifelike LG's IPS displays are, it's a pretty good trick and it's fun to see people yelp and grab for the railing. I'm just glad I never set foot in there. That's a particularly nagging fear of mine and I'm pretty sure I would wet myself on the spot. Who knows how those displays would fare then.

The Lowly Button Gets a Brilliant Upgrade

The Lowly Button Gets a Brilliant Upgrade:
There should be a special Nobel Prize set aside for geniuses who find ways to improve the simplest things in life. And this year's award would go to Shapeways user OliveBird, whose Button 2.0 turns any shirt into a convenient headphone wrangler.
It's not to say that the traditional button design isn't useful. It's just that with the addition of a subtle clamp on one edge for holding headphone cables no thicker than two millimeters, the Button 2.0 is approximately a thousand times more useful. And this isn't some design student's thesis on how to make the world better. It's an actual product you can order from Shapeways in different colors ranging in price from $3 to $4. Expensive for a button? Yes. But this is the bleeding edge of shirt fastening/cable wrangling technology.

Laser Cutting Table For Amateurs Slices What You Sketch

Laser Cutting Table For Amateurs Slices What You Sketch:




In the not-too-distant future home manufacturing will be as commonplace as home printing. Devices like the Makerbot will fuel the revolution, but only when they become as easy to use as this Constructable that precisely cuts materials based on doodles made with a laser pointer.
Users don't have to master computer-aided design software in order to create a pattern for the table's high-powered laser to slice. They just have to use a set of 15 different laser pointers to draw directly on the material they're cutting. Each pointer serves a different purpose, from creating gears, to joints, to freehand shapes, and it appears to compensate for those who are terrible artists by straightening lines or 'beautifying' curves. Because no one's going to want to use products they made themselves if they look that way.

High resolution files are here!!  We’ve been getting a lot of requests from people saying they want a way to buy posters or high-res files of certain comics.  We’re working on putting up a store soon, but in the mean time, we’ve set up a way for you to start downloading high-res files of certain comics.  We’re doing a pay-what-you-want system (or download for free…seriously, go nuts)  because we like you guys and are happy for you to download as much as you want.  We’re just getting started so it might take some time to get all your favorite strips up, but hopefully we’ll have most of them available soon.  If there is a specific comic you’d like available in a larger size, feel free to shoot us an email and we’ll try to make it happen.  Today’s comic is the first one we’ve put up–you can get it here.
