I visited the San Francisco Exploratorium for the first time when I was in my mid twenties. I loved every inch of that discovery museum, even though I was technically too old to play with the stuff. Sound Uncovered is a magazine-type app from the Exploratorium.
Take a fascinating trip with an auditory adventure to discover the secrets of sound. It’s like visiting the museum without all the crazy kids running around.
Do-it-yourselfers are a special breed. Not only are they able to come up with creative designs and unique gadgets, but they also figure out ways to turn warn-out or useless items into brand new things.

Hackycat is a super fun casual game that combines cats with popular kicking pastime hacky sack. If you’re not familiar with hacky sack, it’s a game where the idea is to keep a small round plastic bead-filled bag in the air as long as possible, by kicking it up into the air.
The game uses a similar principle, but instead of kicking a ball, you’re kicking cats. Don’t worry, though – You’re not harming the poor little felines by kicking them in Hackycat, instead, you’re saving them from being blown to bits!

Apple announced today that some of the computers of its employees were hacked after those workers visited a website for software developers that contained malicious software. According to Apple, the software had been designed to infect Mac computers.
