A lovely short film by Aaron Sims, he calls it Archetype

I'm making a list

I will not check my list twice :) however here's a sneak peak of what I am building :) - One hour and a half of it:

Learn to be open-minded

Take a look at some of the flawed thinking that prompts people(who believe in certain non-scientific concepts) to advise others(who don't) to be more open-minded

A glimpse ahead

A nice vision of how the year 2019 might look like

Brought to you of course by Microsoft :)

Driving with your thoughts

Yes !!!

I want to sit in my space ship and drive it with my thoughts!

For this we`ll have to wait but driving a car with your thoughts is here and now !

Don`t give me any of that "it`s just a prototype" and so on bla bla...

Just enjoy this for now because, luckily the future is full of entertainment and we are all victims of it.

More proof that CAPTCHA is EVIL

They are trying to brainwash us all !!! run while you still can; shutdown your pc NAO !!!

The ads are coming !

on a side note this is my 100th post :) HORRRAAY for me !

Computer viruses are sometimes amazing, and I hope the people designing them also have projects that don't involve terror and panic.

I know the internet is for lolz but it wouldn't be much fun to see stuff like "ups I accidentally your whole nuclear project"

Stuxnet on wikipedia stuxnet creator ? Symantec nice article

Anti-human captcha

By now every one of us has been tested by the Completely Automated Public Turing Test To Tell Computers and Humans Apart. aka CAPTCHA
Whatever we do, sign up for some newsletter, start a new account, comment...and all those things, we are mostly going to be tested by the might captcha.

Let me give you a few examples of anti-human captcha

This one is just plain wrong, no human can actually tell what is says

I guess the sum of an "s" function when "i" equals zero is not that hard to figure out ...

Perhaps this was meant as a joke or for some Astor-physicist sign up form, this is actually one of the few good examples i can think of

As you may know reCAPTCHA is one of the most used services around and they have a very good system set in place.

They give you 2 words and this system only knows one of them, the other is scanned from a book or take from somewhere else; so what happens is you define new words for the system every time you use it.

The thing is you can tell most of the time what word is the one the system knows, and if you input something different for the second one you won`t get penalised

Here's how a normal example looks like

And here you can see a captcha designed specifically to counter real humans :(

what is that ?

words taken from a book drenched in water maybe ?

Of course there are many other types of captcha out there , we all know the "what`s 6+5" kind of questions or "witch one of these is a tree" ..

To be honest i don`t like captcha at all !

Originally it was designed to stop spamming, but guess what, spammers are the only ones that are not really affected by this.

They came up will all kind of methods to counter this, some more ingenious than others, but that is another story.

I have to say I'm looking forward to the day we don`t have to input something to verify we are human.

And because i`m feeling motivational today I`ll leave you with this

Think about it !

A great story about humility

From Harry Potter - the song and the tale of the three brothers

This has to be the best story i`ve heard lately, also i enjoy the original version where Hermione narates the story

Check this one out it`s really something !

Rapid cell regeneration and organ regrowth

Medicine gets more awesome by the second!
Looks like they might have found a better way to fix humans!
We have all been waiting for this and now we have it. It is possible to grow human parts in the lab and replace the old ones. Of course the procces is a bit more complex then that.
Quite interesting, check it out!

As for small adjustment, you might want to look into that magic dust they came up with. You know the one that accelerats growth, so you can..say.. regrow a finger or something.

Pixels take over the world !

There was just no better way of saying this!
You gotta love this eye candy animations, makes me wanna hug it`s fluffiness.

Nanoscience for the Win !

A taste of a world we are only starting to explore.
I trust the age of nanoscience will bring a better future for all of us. Once again science delivers! So check this out you might find out something interesting.

super bowl commercials ftw !

Funny baby = nice marketing idea ?
Well we`r in luck because this one is actualy not so bad :) it`s my favorite tbh :P

I almost forgot about Eminem :P

Yet another awesome 360 video

Snowboarders are going to love this one

I knew more of these will pop arownd :)

Athene's Theory of Everything

I have to say Athene's theory on everything is deep stuff.
You know what they say the next revolution will be online; if it is i`m glad i`ll be here to see it :)

And you have to like the sound of "time is moving backwards" and "God is in the neurons" !
Enjoy!

bottom line : c= h f

Need extra explanations? there is a live stream of the author (Chiren) explaining things

It might not be trolololo after all...hmmm :P but i did spot some net neutrality in there

wikileaks on fast forward

I like this kind of thing, it`s kind of audiobook of wikileaks but with visuals, so that would make it a video i guess

ever wondered why we can't walk straight ?

This short animation explains why people can't walk in a straight line.

I for one find very interesting the path we chose when blindfolded.
And if, with no visual things to guide us, we think that going in a wibly circle is a straight line, then probably that is what our brains perceives as a straight line.
Or perhapse it has something to do with the fact that sight is what we use to identify our position and takeing that
away makes it hard to orientate.

It`s all very interesting.
