Video of the Day: Disney's Space Mountain With the Lights On

Updated 05/20/12 6:44 PM · Posted 05/20/12 9:41 AM by Anna Monette Roberts · 1 comment

The thrill of Disneyland's Space Mountain roller coaster is blasting through the unexpected drops, twists, and turns in utter darkness, save for those twinkling stars. A lucky few have experienced the roller coaster with the lights on. Be on the lookout for a "101" announcement when boarding the ride: in Disney jargon, it means "nonoperational." Fingers crossed, it could be a chance to hop on a slow but steady "PeopleMover" cart to experience Space Mountain with the lights on. Watch the video to see the steel behind the magic.

Updated 05/19/12 11:15 AM · Posted 05/19/12 11:11 AM by Anna Monette Roberts · 0 comments

Companies know that peering down to play or work on a tablet can cause back and neck strain, so now they're rolling out ergonomic stands for the iPad. Whether your tablet of choice is Android- or iOS-based, Flote Tablet Stand ($270) works as a floor or bed stand and is designed to bend and move to meet your ergonomic needs.

The stand has a sleek design, complementing Apple's simple aesthetic, and is easy to bend and move into different directions and angles. Sure, it has a shocking price tag, but it could save you hundreds in chiropractor bills. What do you think about the Flote?

How to Watch Sunday's Solar Eclipse

Updated 05/19/12 6:56 PM · Posted 05/19/12 10:01 AM by Kelly Schwarze · 1 comment

Lucky residents of the Western US will be looking to see the sky this Sunday, May 20 when an annular solar eclipse passes from northwestern Texas through New Mexico, northeastern Arizona, southern Utah, Nevada, northern California, and southwestern Oregon. Living on the other side of the country doesn't mean you have to miss out on the celestial wonder; NASA, naturally, has got you covered.

The Hinode satellite is on the mission! The satellite will send images and movies to the NASA website for anyone worldwide without a view of the eclipse. Because of its orbit around the Earth, Hinode will capture four separate partial eclipses for Earthlings to watch.
