Dad DIYs his daughter's sleep onesie into a NASA space suit

One of the best parts of being a parent is dressing your baby however you want.

While his wife Emily was at work, Ben Brucker of San Francisco added a little flair to his baby’s sleep suit. With just a few patches, he transformed his four-month-old daughter Maya into a NASA astronaut.

After a stressful week, Brucker tells Mashable that he decided it would be fun to surprise his wife and share some photos of Maya in her redesigned sleep suit. A sleep suit, Brucker explains, is an “infant product that is meant to limit movement and mimic the feeling of being held tight or wrapped up, without being completely swaddled.” …

Lenovo Yoga Book review: A keyless keyboard that will get you talking, not typing

Video shot/edited by Jennifer Hahn. (video link)

Lenovo made a unique device with the new Yoga Book. I like to describe it as a device the size of a netbook with the design of a convertible and the attitude of a stylus-equipped tablet. Starting at $499, the Yoga Book comes in Android and Windows versions, allowing you to choose your experience with it. However, no matter which operating system you choose, the design remains the most appealing thing about the device. While the display-baring tablet slab is familiar, the connected keyboard with no keys is unique. The Yoga Book also comes with Lenovo’s Real Pen and a magnetic pad of paper, allowing you to draw both on the keyboard itself and on paper to digitize notes and artwork. But like so many convertibles, the Yoga Book tries so hard to be all things to all people that it doesn’t truly excel in any one area.

Look and feel

The Yoga Book is the most tablet-like two-in-one I’ve ever held. Its 10.1-inch size, 1.5-pound weight, and 9.6mm thickness when closed makes it an incredibly light and portable device. Adding to that svelte profile is the matte magnesium alloy shell and Lenovo-signature watchband hinge. It is a convertible, however when I first unboxed the Yoga Book, its appearance struck me so much that it was hard to place it in the convertible category in my head. It’s more like a tablet that, instead of having a detachable keyboard or a folio case, has a slim slab attached to it.

Cilantro hater lashes out with a very relatable grocery store sign

Some people love it, others don’t mind it and a lot of people hate it. There is a never-ending war with those who despise cilantro, aka coriander, and those who just don’t understand the hatred.

While the topic has sparked serious debate and scientific research, cilantro haters have been known to be extremely passionate in their hatred for the green. One customer or employee at an IGA store in Australia even went as far as mocking up this custom sign in an attempt at persuading people away.

FCC’s Ajit Pai says net neutrality’s “days are numbered” under Trump

Federal Communications Commission member Ajit Pai yesterday vowed to take a “weed whacker” to FCC regulations after President-elect Donald Trump takes office, with net neutrality rules being among the first to be cut down.

Pai is the commission’s senior Republican and could end up being the FCC chairman, at least on an interim basis until Trump chooses a long-term chair.

“I’m optimistic that last month’s election will prove to be an inflection point—and that during the Trump Administration, we will shift from playing defense at the FCC to going on offense,” Pai said in a speech yesterday before the Free State Foundation in Washington, DC, said. The commission “need[s] to remove outdated and unnecessary regulations… We need to fire up the weed whacker and remove those rules that are holding back investment, innovation, and job creation,” he also said.
