The World’s Second Coolest Grandpa Made This Death Star Fire Pit

If you want to be a cool granddad, make cool stuff for your grandchildren. Mine made me a waxed Captain America shield that protected me from water balloons, thrown dirt clods, and many other projectiles, as well as a tree house, and a ton of other stuff that kids love. Moreover, he’s more or less a Clint Eastwood character; when I went to visit him shortly after his 87th birthday he was climbing a tree while one-handing a running chainsaw upon my arrival. As such, the titles of “World’s Coolest Granddad” is taken.

A different granddad has taken building cool stuff for his descendants to heart, and is now the runner-up for that prestigious title on account of this awesome Death Star fire pit. Redditor Bandia5309 just received this as a present and took to the web to show it off. We’re all thankful, and a bit jealous. Why couldn’t grandpa have also made a picture tutorial?

Mozilla and Samsung collaborating on new Servo web browser engine for Android and ARM

Mozilla and Samsung collaborating on new Servo web browser engine for Android and ARM

It's a fairly bold claim, but Mozilla and Samsung have announced today that they're now attempting to "rebuild the web browser from the ground up on modern hardware." That initiative takes the form of Servo, a new web browser engine designed for Android and ARM and based on Mozilla's Rust programming language, which itself sees a new release today. Expectedly, details on the browser engine remain light, with Mozilla and Samsung offering no indication of a release schedule or a final product. In the blog post announcing the engine, Mozilla says only that it'll be "putting more resources into Servo" in the coming year as it also aims to complete the first major revision of Rust, and that it and Samsung will be "increasingly looking at opportunities on mobile platforms." You can find the full announcement, and the source for both Rust and Servo if you're so inclined, at the source link below.

Anodizing aluminum and titanium explained and demonstrated in less than five minutes (video)

Anodizing aluminum and titanium explained and demonstrated in less than five minutes (video)

Many of us use gadgets that sport gleamingly refined, anodized aluminum or titanium cases -- but have you ever wondered exactly how the process works? Bill Hammack, at it again after explaining to us how the CCD, LCDs, and hard drives work, breaks it down (pun intended) for us -- in less than five minutes. He talks about, and even shows us how the surface of titanium is meticulously rusted using electro-chemicals to grow an oxide layer, changing the color based on its thickness. He follows that up with some commentary on how a similar reaction gobbles up and transforms aluminum, creating a much thicker, porous oxide layer that can be filled with any color dye. So, just to be clear: controlled corrosion is good for your Mac, border control -- maybe not so much. You can watch the video right after the break.
