What did you think of the WWDC 2014 keynote?

What did you think of the WWDC 2014 keynote? [Poll]

With the 2-hour whirlwind that was the WWDC 2014 keynote now behind us, it’s time to take a step back, take stock, and think a little about what we saw. The announcement of OS X 10.10 Yosemite, iOS 8, many new features across each platform and some shared between them. No doubt both will be big releases for both developers and consumers alike, but having seen it all unfold, what did you think of the keynote?

We didn’t hear anything on the iTunes front, nor anything about Apple’s retail numbers, both of which have been featured in many an Apple presentation of old. Was there any need, though? We weren’t exactly left with nothing to consider and Apple’s renewed focus on its developers is admirable.

So, what did you think of it all? Drop a vote in the poll up top and sound off in the comments below!

Is this the perfect Asian-inspired burger? Yes, yes it is

Behold the delicious Bao-ser’s Castle Burger, a hot steamy bao bun filled with a "square, onion soup-braised (and seared) beef tongue patty, nested with green onion slices, quick pickle cucumber, cilantro, grilled pork belly, and a hoisin mayonnaise." The only way this thing could be more awesome is if someone were stuffing two of them in my mouth right now.

United Airlines updated their app to give you in-flight video

After a bit of teasing earlier this year, United Airlines has gone live with their iOS app update which enables in-flight movie and TV watching on your iPhone or iPad. The service is only available on certain flights, so be sure to check yours a day before you head out before counting on being able to enjoy it.

This is great. Generally the displays in just about every plane are fuzzy and ancient in comparison to what you can get on an iPhone or iPad. It’s great to see new mobile-friendly services beyond in-flight Wi-Fi and QR ticketing, too. Recently we’ve seen some movement on airport use of iBeacons, but what else would you like to see airlines taking advantage of when it comes to your iPhone and iPad? Which airlines do you usually fly with?

This R2-D2 toy is so detailed that you can use it in the new Star Wars

The detail on this 1:6 scale R2-D2 figurine is pretty much insane, especially since this type of toys are mostly, if not completely, static. Not this one. Everything opens and lights up in this R2-D2. It’s pretty damn cool. Check out this video.

This Twisting Mirror Bridge Reflects Every Detail of a Shanghai Street

UNStudio has created a beautifully constructed archway that brightens up the retail sphere of Xintiandi Mall in China. Because it’s lined with mirrors, you can track your movements from beginning to end and watch your surroundings skip playfully across the different planes of the mall’s entrance. It’s like walking down the inside of a wormhole—except you stay safely grounded in both time and space.

Vets miraculously save life of lioness who got mauled by buffalo

Siena is a lioness who recently got severely mauled by a buffalo. It’s so bad that looking at her standing up with her leg almost ripped off her body looks like a surreal scene from a zombie movie.
