Any guitarist with an array of pedals most likely has one from Electro-Harmonix. The Long Island City-based company (represent!) allowed Boing Boing’s Joel Johnson in for a video tour of the factory and the results are a spectacle to behold. Did you know that Electro-Harmonix is the largest manufacturer of vacuum tubes in the world? Neither did I. Check it ...

After asking my friend how he sent images like that via SMS, he soon explained to me that these were Emoji, ...

Palm and other smartphone manufacturers are super-fucked right now. “Why?” you ask? It’s quite simple, really.
