Steve Carell's final episode of The Office aired last night, and without him, we're left with a hole in our lives where those "that's what she said" jokes (hereby referred to as TWSS jokes) should be. Luckily, a couple of computer scientists have created some software that recognizes the opportunity to make a TWSS joke in the midst of natural language. It sounds like a huge effort, but definitely has the potential to fill that hole. (That one was a gimme.) More »

Artist Ryder Ripps is apparently some sort of gifted internet genius-masochist, because he's made actual the virtual icon that terrorizes us all: the OS X beach ball. You see it spin. When will it stop spinning? Stop spinning. Please stop spinning. More »
Tim Hetherington and Chris Hondros were two of the most respected war journalists of the modern age, men who lived a soldier's life—and took a soldier's risks—to capture images from inside the heart of the battle.
