Instagram Photograph of Hurricane Sandy Selected for Cover of Time Magazine
Another HUGE win for Instagram, proving that it is the biggest, baddest social network in the game. Jeff Bercovici of Forbes recently wrote that Time had great success after hiring five Instagrammers to document Hurricane Sandy. The resulting collection on Lightbox, Time’s photography blog, was “one of the most popular galleries we’ve ever done,” says Kira Pollack of TIME, and it was responsible for 13% of all the site’s traffic during a week when Time.com had its fourth-biggest day ever. Time’s Instagram account attracted 12,000 new followers during a 48-hour period. One of photographer Benjamin Lowy’s photos even ended up getting selected for the cover. While the level of resolution isn’t perhaps what might be achieved with a camera, says Pollack, “It reproduced beautifully. There’s almost a painterly quality to it.”

Earlier this week we were in San Francisco covering the release of the new, critically acclaimed Windows Phone 8.

Windows 8 Has the Hype, but Can it take a Bite out of Apple?
“A new era for Microsoft and our customers,” Microsoft chief executive Steve Ballmer said at a press event in New York today. Coming from a guy who has dabbled with 8 first hand, I can say it’s definitely a new innovative UI unmatched by any other platform. The live tile system will be the Windows’ bread and butter in the near to distant future. If you’re open minded enough to leave behind the simple world of Apple and the blue screen world of the “old” Microsoft, the tiles are worth a shot. Once customized to the user, the tiles serve as an easy access point to every facet of digital life. Microsoft is taking a leap of faith, playing with the loyalty of its declining but dedicated followers, but this could be just what it needs to catapult it back in to the running in 2013.

The Future is here, The Quadski
Finally. All my life I’ve been longing for the day when a Jetski would make love to a Quad ATV and pop out a amphibious vehicle that I can ride through the woods directly into a lake and sail off into the horizon, Kenny Powers style. At last the day is mine. Whether you’re escaping from land predators that can’t swim or sea creatures that can’t walk, The Quadski is the prefect getaway vehicle, to ride off while giving a one fingered salute to the lions or sharks who think they’ve got your number. Be careful for alligators, because they can kind of getcha in both enviorments. Set to release in November. The Quadski $40,000

Natural Phenomena: Possibly The Timelapse Video of the Year
Humans are part of the natural order. We’re risen apes that acquired language and learned to use tools. Skyscrapers and spacecraft may seem unnatural, but they’re just as much a part of the natural order as beaver dams and bird nests. Boring electrical lines hint at the energy solution of a mammalian species. Open your eyes to the world you’ve grown accustomed to, and rejoice in the fact that you can participate in the human project.

The Space Shuttle Takes A Trip Through The Streets Of Los Angeles [24 Photos]
This is one of the many reasons we need to step up funding for NASA. The space shuttle Endeavour took a slow 12-mile trek through Los Angeles city streets on a 160-wheeled carrier. It is passing through neighborhoods and strip malls, headed toward its final destination, the California Science Center in South Los Angeles. At times, the shuttle has barely cleared trees, houses and and street signs along a course heavily prepared for the trip.

As the sun rises over the New Mexico desert Monday morning, Felix Baumgartner will step into a space capsule suspended beneath an immense helium balloon and slowly ascend to the edge of the stratosphere, where he will step into the void and fall 23 miles to Earth. To do this safely, or, rather, as safely as possible, he will wear a pressurized suit designed to protect him from sub-zero temperatures, decompression sickness and the very real possibility that the liquid within his body could turn to gas, rendering him unconscious within seconds.

So Apparently We’re Tech Big Wings
Some how we scored an invite to the Windows Phone 8 launch in New York City. It was a who’s who festival of digital/tech rock stars…. and us. Guess that’s what happens when you spend a month traveling the country to see baseball games using the latest WIndows Phones. Steve Balmer, the CEO of Microsoft, was in the house. We didn’t get to meet him but if we did the first question I would have asked is, “can I have $1,000,000?” Straight up, just like that. He’s the 19th richest man in the world, what’s $1,000,000 to a guy who has $15.7 billion? When I’m right I’m right. In all seriousness I’ve been using the HTC Radar since January and I’m extremely excited for HTC Windows Phone 8X. 4.5 inch display, Beats By Dre, 1080p video capture, the most crisp display of any smartphone. Baller. ows The smartest people we’ve ever met. This crew actually designed the Windows Phone 8.
