A look at this week's top-rated websites from StumbleUpon, recorded on January 14.
This week's selection includes an article about a pilot who delayed a plane so a man could arrive in time to say goodbye to his murdered grandson before he was taken off life support, a fan-made promotional video for NASA, photos of a lighthouse covered in ice, a skit on smartphones and fruit from the BBC's The One Ronnie show, and a video on the new technology that went into Rockstar Game's facial animations in L.A. Noire.
