    Netflix's robust content library has helped it top nearly 70 million subscribers worldwide. Not surprisingly, the majority of those come from the US, where the streaming service has over 43 million customers alone. And, for the most part, people here seem to be fond of it.

The study also asked people about what other video offerings they use regularly: YouTube came in a close second, right behind Netflix, followed by Amazon Instant Video, Hulu and HBO Go, respectively.

Rather than the cold, hard metal we're all used to, it uses a laser-beam to cut hair. Meanwhile roboticists at the Nanyang Technological University in Singapore are working on the next frontier of using robots-- how to get one to build a complicated piece of IKEA furniture. No, we are not joking. Use it for fodder for every argument you've ever had upon stepping into that hell-hole. If the robots can't do it, we can always look to the future with this kids game that uses slot cars to also teach them how to code.
