We’re just a few weeks away from the premiere of the crown jewel of the 50th anniversary of Star Trek: the release of Star Trek Beyond. To celebrate both events, an online art collective called the Poster Posse did a ton of very cool Trek art, and we decided to pick out just a few of our favorites for your viewing pleasure.

Parents, you can stop fretting about your child’s disgusting habits. An analysis of more than 1,000 kids between the ages of 5 and 11 reveals that nail-biters and thumb-suckers are less likely to develop allergic sensitivities later on in life.

While the rest of the world engages in hostile warfare over disputed territory, Canada and Greenland are using a rather more polite method of asserting their claims over a Hans Island, an island between Canada and Greenland (a Danish territory) that both want to claim.

Think streaming music, and the first name that springs to mind is probably Spotify—but there are some great alternatives out there. Both Apple and Google have music services for streaming, downloads, and playing local files across phones, tablets, and desktop. There are lots of different ways to compare the two services, but we’re going to try and simplify it by starting with all the similarities. Here’s how Apple Music compares to Google Play Mu…

Fan film took seven years to create, with over half a year spent in filming alone.

Two-factor authentication can protect your account, and a USB Security Key makes for a great backup if you lose your phone. It’s cheap peace of mind and beats the heck out of calling Google.

Worried about misplacing your phone or (worse yet) having it stolen? Ease your fears and set up a tracking system before your worst case scenario strikes.

I’m a trusting person. Maybe it’s my age — having grown up as part of a generation that was still allowed to play outside unsupervised. Or maybe it’s a Southern thing. But Google? Google probably knows more about me than anyone.

Travel back in time with me, if you will, to a time before Lollipop. Let’s go back to KitKat (and older!), because that’s sort of where this story starts. Back in those days, silencing your phone was pretty easy: you could just turn the volume all the way down to access vibrate-only and silent modes. It was a simple time, when moms would make homemade ice cream and kids would play in down by the creek until well past dark. We didn’t have to think…

People may joke that others spend too much time on the internet, but this intricate series of tubes has become an important part of everyday life—so much so that it’s become a human rights violation to take it away.

Back it all up and save yourself some time and effort.

When you upload a new version of a shared file to Google Drive, the old file is not replaced, since Google Drive lets you have multiple files with the same name. That means that the newly uploaded file will have a different shareable link, which is a hassle if you want the same people to be able to access it.

Things get harder as you get older, and that includes recovering from a night of drinking. If it feels like you don’t handle hangovers as well as you used to, here’s why.

A new study suggests that compounds found in marijuana can stave off the brain damaging effects of Alzheimer’s disease. It’s a promising discovery, but claims that pot can prevent this age-related brain disorder are premature. Put the pipe away, man.

Launched in 1977, the Voyager 1 and 2 are still exploring interstellar space today. Both probes have flown by Jupiter and Saturn while the Voyager 2 has made its way to Uranus and Neptune too. The Voyager space program has traveled further in space than anything ever has and serves as a wonderful reminder of how much farther we can go. Santiago Menghini made this short tribute to the program using animation and real archival footage to stitch tog…

And a new revenue stream for artists.
