Certain electronic rebranding moments are hilarious in retrospect. In 1984, when the computer company Apple wanted to make it seem like its new computers were better than its old computers, the moniker “Macintosh” was applied, in an effort to remind people of different kinds of apples in real life. Apple, thankfully, stopped there and didn’t try to market any “Red Delicious” or “Granny Smith” computers, but the term “Mac” stuck anyway and is still used today. Interestingly, in 1989, just five years after the introduction of 1984’s Apple Macintosh, a similar name-game rebranding happened in the gaming world — but with a much shorter lifespan. Today, we don’t live in a world in which people casually refer to their latest gaming console as a “Genesis.” But from 1989 to about 1993, it really felt like we would all have Genesis forever.

Ibrahim Al-Nasser managed to connect 444 different machines to his set utilizing a series of switches and converters.

The mantis shrimp is one tough customer. Beautiful and deadly are two words you don’t typically use to describe shrimp, but the mantis shrimp is definitely in a class of its own; earning a reputation as the ‘savage boxer of the sea’ and one of the most fearsome creatures in the ocean. And, they're right at home here in South Carolina.

Kids can't play some older games because they're not readily available on modern hardware.

A bunch of the Engadget crew loves the Playdate, the tiny, quirky portable console with a load of great indie games and a crank on the side.

A good pizza sauce makes ALL the difference in the flavor and end result of your dish. Personally, I've not found any commercially processed pizza sauces that don't taste.... fake, so I made my own. I'm not a huge fan of tomatoes in a can as they tend to taste a bit metallic, but you use what you've got and it's 1000 times better than storebought. Fresh tomatoes are in season right now though, so if you can get them fresh, more power to ya!

Water exists on Mars, according to a team of geophysicists, and not just as ice on its poles or as vapor in its atmosphere. The scientists have found evidence of liquid water deep in its outer crust, based on their analysis of data provided by NASA's Mars Insight Lander. Specifically, they analyzed four years' worth of ground motions recorded by the lander's seismometer. By looking at seismic velocities, or how fast seismic waves travel on the planet, they were able to determine the materials that the waves moved through. What they found was that Mars' mid-crust has fractured igneous rocks saturated with liquid water.
