A Milk Carton That Changes Color When Expiring

Designer Ko Yang created a milk carton that changes color when expiring. The concept was that when milk rots, it turns to cheese. So when it gets closer to the expiration date, the carton turns from a white color to a cheesy design.

It's a neat design, because it provides a colorful way to remind you to drink the milk before it's too late.

You might be wondering now, where could I get these? This was created only as a design project and unfortunately won't be seeing store shelves anytime soon.

This is not the first time Ko Yang has created something unusual, because he also made this: (bit.ly/1XRldJ8).

This University Has A Hurricane Simulator

Photography from the University of Miami

The University of Miami has a hurricane simulator. Costing around $45 million to create, the simulator holds 30,000 gallons of water, can create winds up to 200 miles per hour and has a length of 75 feet and a height of 6.5.

Why build such an expensive simulator? The University of Miami wants to use the data to build more flood-resistant infrastructure. They will be testing the simulator on different structures and bridge designs to see what they can improve.

They are also researching how the hurricane will affect marine life and aquatic organisms.

Don't Put This Date In Your iPhone

A glitch in the Apple OS causes iPhones all around the world to crash whenever you enter the date January 1, 1970. And unlike most crashes, this causes your new $659 phone to turn into a useless, but nice to look at slab of metal.

CNN offers a theory on why the glitch happens. Apple iPhones run on Unix time, and Unix time started on January 1, 1970. Trying to go before that may cause a glitch that causes the entire OS to crash.

Apple hasn't fixed the glitch or responded when asked for comment.

A Camera That Sees In The Dark

How many times have you tried to take a picture in the dark, and found that everyone's faces were obscured by darkness? Sony has a solution. They developed a camera that can take pictures in darkness.

It also has ultra-high ISO (ranging from 50 to 409,600) and can take 4K video. It's widely compatible with different Sony lenses. While it's pretty resilient to rain and dirt, Sony advises not to take it near water, because it isn't splash or waterproof.

Ready to buy one? Don't get too hyped, because the price tag is also $2.5K. Maybe stick with getting moonlight nature photos off Shutterstock.

What do you think? If you won $2.5K would you buy this camera? Comment in the comments section!

Phonebloks: A Phone You Can Take Apart!

In 2013, a Dutch designer named Dave Hakkens came up with a smartphone that allows you to replace parts of it with better versions of it. Phonebloks will come with a peg-board style base that allows you to mix and match parts so you can easily upgrade your Phonebloks, instead of throwing it away to buy a new one.

Phonebloks is also more environmentally friendly. If everyone just replaces certain parts of their phone instead of buying another new one, electronic waste will be greatly reduced.

Phonebloks is also highly customizable and you can make it to your needs - If you need more storage but you don't care about taking HD pictures, you can easily replace the storage and take a lesser-quality camera.

What do you think? Would you buy a Phonebloks if it came out? Comment in the comments section!

New technology created by scientists at the University of Southampton allows the world to store 360TB of data on a glass crystal. While this seems sci-fi and futuristic, it's real. They have already used the technology to store a version of the Bible.

One might ask, how might somebody decode this information? With lasers, they can decode the info.

These currently aren't on sale, but if they were, would you buy one?

If Facebook Likes Were Votes, Ben Carson Would Win The 2016 Election

Infographic from FiveThirtyEight

If Facebook likes were votes, Ben Carson would be winning the 2016 election. But Facebook likes aren't votes, and Ben Carson is in last right now. While he still hasn't dropped out of the race, Ben Carson is trailing John Kasich.



Carson currently has 26% of the Facebook vote, while Kasich has less than 1% of the vote. Why is that? The people on Facebook tend to be low-income and female. Some Facebook pages have also been up longer than others.

Apple Is Getting Rid Of The Headphone Jack In The New iPhone 7

There's been a lot of hype for the upcoming iPhone 7, and there are many questions about what new technologies it will have. But for now, let's focus on what it won't have.

Rumors say that Apple will be replacing the headphone jack with new speakers. While that will make the phone bigger, some Apple fans are indignant. Some Beats headphones Apple sells needs a headphone jack, and then now what? Their headphones will be rendered obsolete. Is it worth it for a thinner phone? Apple says yes.

Apple may use stereo sound to create a richer audio experience, but that won't be helpful for people on the bus or working in cubicles. You can't just blast music in there!

Apple's design standards for iOS are "Deference", "Clarity" and "Depth". While cutting down the iPhone's thickness may bring deference, clarity and depth Apple needs to realize that people want their headphone jack. They don't need another centimeter cut off the thickness. They want something they can use to listen to their jams.

What do you think? Do you think Apple should remove the headphone jack? Vote in our poll.
