Banana

In today’s Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase, we got a peek at what’s to come for the hybrid console. One of the exciting announcements was that Super Monkey Ball is getting a new entry titled Banana Rumble. The game launches on June 25 this year, and pre-orders begin today, February 21. The latest addition to the long-running series looks like it will be choked full of content. As the trailer reveals, the platformer will feature over 200 new stages, which is more than enough Super Monkey Ball goodness for anyone.…

Chapter 5, season 1 of Fortnite is underway with a whole new map and tons of fresh content for players to dive into. While most of the new stuff can be earned or purchased in-game, there’s one special emote Epic has created that will require you to put in a code on the Fortnite website, and that’s the Nanner Ringer emote. There’s a catch, though: Only the first 25 million players to redeem the code will actually be able to claim the emote. Afterward, the code will expire, meaning there’s a high probability that…

Every time you peel a banana and dispose of the skin, you're throwing away a tasty, nutritious snack.In fact, a study last year found that if banana peels are blanched, dried, and ground into a flour, they can be turned into baked goods that taste just as nice, if not better than wheat-based products.Unless you're a devoted reader of vegan cooking blogs or a Nigella Lawson fan, you've probably never considered cooking with a banana peel. But not only is it perfectly safe, but scientists also demonstrated it really is…

In 1966 Sook-Yin is forced by her family from Hong Kong to London to train as a nurse and send money home. Her immigrant life is a case study for Murphy’s law…

At the tender age of 21, Dave Lombardo helped change modern music. The drummer was the propulsive force behind Slayer’s third album, 1986’s Reign in Blood: a record that upped the ante of thrash metal, kicked the doors open for further extremity and remains a landmark of the genre.“I don’t think we thought we were creating something special,” says Lombardo, now 58. “I don’t think we knew what we were doing. We just knew that whatever it was, it felt good.” Lombardo left and rejoined Slayer several times over their…

Surprisingly, the new yellow iPhone 14 is not the most vibrant of the bunch.Image: AppleApple has this feeling that is indeed so appealing, and that feeling is that they need to add “yellow” to its slate of iPhone case colors. Alright, sing it with me, kids: “ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, banana phone.”Apple announced its new yellow-tinted phones Tuesday. It’s thankfully not a full-vibrant mustard color, but a subdued, soothing pastel tone. Everything else about the already solid iPhone 14 and 14 Plus remains…

The history of the banana is more complicated than you might have ever imagined (if you ever thought about it at all).More than 7,000 years ago, Oceania communities began to selectively grow wild Musa acuminata plants for their choice characteristics. Over time the plant's fruit gradually evolved into the famous sweet, seedless, conveniently-packaged banana we've all come to love.Unfortunately today, most of the bananas we consume are clones of a single variety. Without diverse genetic approaches to handling diseases, it…

The Raspberry Pi Pico (opens in new tab) form factor is one that’s just begging to be copied, but Banana Pi has gone one better and borrowed the name, too.
