Summer in Tokyo

    I love this video arranged and with original music by Joan Jiménez showing images from last summer in Tokyo.

    Reality is the contrast between what we have inside and what exists outside. I invite you to a shared trip to Tokyo where I put eyes and music and you all put the sensations…

Amazing 18-Foot Wide Super-HD Multi-User Multitouch Display

    via Gizmodo by Danny Allen


    It is probably the highest resolution interactive display outside of the military: Obscura Digital's newest, longest multitouch wall, revealed this weekend at the Hard Rock in Vegas, uses three projectors to handle 100 hi-res images and videos simultaneously in realtime.

    This isn't the first Obscura Digital creation to catch our eye. We've seen 3D multitouch holograms, crazy building projections and an 8-by-4-foot Missile Command-playing multitouch wall.

    The new 18-foot long wall scales across GPUs seamlessly, and automatically splits the workspace for up to 6 users to flick through Hard Rock photo and video memorabilia, with image resolution upwards of 12 megapixels.

    Complementing the video tech, an audio system creates a pinpointed local audio experience, so that each user can interact with content without interfering with others.

Picking up Wi-Fi is Like Picking up a Prostitute

    via Gizmodo by Danny Allen

    This fun video personifies the prowl for Wi-Fi. You could pay the password-pimp for a fast connection, but what about that loose hotspot? Jumping on free Wi-Fi is easy, but only while it lasts, and you gotta watch for viruses:

    To see an auto dealership pay someone to dress up like a Transformer in order to sell Camaros is, well, kind of depressing. Then you fast-forward to 0:32 to watch the transformation and you're like Holy Cow, how did they do that?

Google Offers Users Total Privacy (In an Airless, Deadly Mountain Prison)

    via Gizmodo by Dan Nosowitz on 8/11/09

    Today's Onion News Network video attacks Google's scary-if-you-think-about-it access to all our browsing habits and personal data. If you want privacy, no problem: Just relocate to a giant boxlike mountain prison, and you'll be secure (and dead). Zing!

    Like all the best Onion pieces, this video takes the bizarre and scary concepts we ignore despite being right in front of our faces, and spells them out in blunt, hilarious language. As the "Google Exec" says, "If you don't want to give us complete access to your most private thoughts and feelings, that's fine! You can just toil on the hinterlands, and die young."

    But my favorite part has to be the consistent juxtaposition of Google's bright happy basic colors on all the terrifying privacy guards and equipment. On the other hand, even if this horrible airless prison was real, I'd probably still get excited about the next Android phone. You win, Google. You win everything, ever.

OZN deasupra Braşovului

    via Antena3 - Bizar on 8/3/09

    Apariţie misterioasă pe cer la Braşov. Un cameraman amator a filmat în două seri diferite un obiect luminos cu o formă ciudată şi o mişcare neregulată. Bărbatul susţine că lumina era foarte puternică şi că nu provenea de la un avion. Ufologii par şi ei uimiţi de imaginile surprinse şi spun că vor încerca să afle care este sursa luminiii misterioase.

    Prima apariţie a fost pe 24 iulie, puţin după ora 19. Bărbatul spune că stătea pe balcon şi admira cerul. Atunci a observat pe tonurile roşiatice un punct luminos care se mişca în stânga şi în dreapta. Atunci omul a luat aparatul de filmat.

    Nu a apucat însă să surprindă mare lucru. Ar fi uitat evenimentul dacă două zile mai târziu aproape de miezul nopţii lumina n-ar fi reapărut. De data aceasta şi mai strălucitoare.

    Pe imagini se vede că lumina ia diverse forme. Se mişcă necontrolat şi din când în când se alungeşte. Martorul jură chiar că a luat la un moment dat forma unui disc.

    Specialiştii sunt hotărâţi să analizeze imaginile filmate mai ales că nu este prima dată când pe cer apar lumini grupate care se deplasează organizat şi despre care ei cred că sunt mărturii ale unor apariţii misterioase.

Toyota Humanoid Robot Gives Asimo a Run For Its Money

    via Gizmodo by Jack Loftus on 8/2/09

    Shown here is Toyota's running robot. At 7 km/h it's not going to win any wind sprints in the Olympics, but nevertheless this thing is airborne for 100ms between strides as it skirts across the floor (i.e. genuine running).

    For comparison's sake, Honda's ASIMO robot can only manage a meager 6 km/h. We assume Toyota was able to squeeze the extra kilometer per hour out of their robot with a strict training regimen and what can only be described as a mild dose of physical abuse—their robot can re-balance itself when pushed lightly, as you can see in the video.

Alcoolul şi rusoaica - Show în pielea goală pe străzile din Moscova

    via Antena3 - Bizar on 7/29/09

    Votca şi rusoaicele nu ar trebui să intre în contact niciodată. Se pare că femeile care dau nas în sticlă cu "licoarea magică" au un comportament ciudat.

    În imagini, se află o femeie care a băut peste măsură. Ea se plimbă în pielea goală pe stradă, oferind un show pe cinste oamenilor aflaţi în jur.

    De parcă nu ar fi fost de ajuns, aceasta începe să danseze şi să se mişte provocator.

This Is Exactly What Touchscreen Surfaces Were Invented For

    via Gizmodo by Jesus Diaz on 7/24/09

    Generally I skim through videos of more than one minute. This video demo of Ruse running on a Microsoft Surface is 4:23, and I watched every second of it in complete amazement. And then, I watched it again.

The Amazing Yoshida Brothers


    Once we heard the music of the 30 year old Yoshida Brothers 吉田兄弟 (Ryoichiro and Kenichi) combined with Monkey Majik for their song Change, we knew this was no ordinary band. The brother’s mastery and intense playing style of the three stringed shamisen fused to different music genres such as Jpop, rock and blues songs is wonderful to hear. The duo has had much success over the years touring the world and even providing music for a Wii TV commercial.

Japanese Salaryman 5 minute Wake Up and Go

    via JapanSugoi by Japan Sugoi on 6/8/09

    Japanese salarymen have it tough. They may be expected to be at work at 8.30am and with many facing a crowded 1.5-2 hour commute by train, this means getting up early even if they had a late night of drinking with the boss the previous night.

    Tomonori Jinnai

    Single Japanese salarymen who aren’t married or have nice Japanese girlfriends that make them breakfast, need to do everything themselves and some have perfected the art ofthe 5 minute wake up and go. Japanese comedian Tomonori Jinnai shows us on Japanese TV just how to get up, eat breakfast, get dressed and get ready for work in just five minutes.

    Still by far, the most entertaining Japanese TV airing today is Kinchan no Kasoh Taisho 欽ちゃんの仮装大賞 きんちゃんのかそうたいしょう. This amazing competition showcases the most imaginative and creative minds and is all “low tech”. Take a look at the latest season’s entries.

Sixty Videos to Explain Sixty Symbols of Physics and Astronomy

    via Gizmodo by Jesus Diaz on 7/2/09

    Do you know what the hell is the Schwarzschild radius? I didn't have a clue, but now I know that if you compress Earth to an 8mm radius ball, you will get a black hole. My fascination didn't stop there.

    I've spent all morning mesmerized by these videos—created by a bunch of extremely smart people at the University of Nottingham—which explain the most common symbols in physics and astronomy so any moron like me can understand them. And if you like physics and astronomy, you should probably do exactly the same.

    Drag Race: Corvette vs F/A-18 fighter jet

    What happens when you race a Blue Devil against a Blue Angel? The latest Corvette ZR1, otherwise known as the "Blue Devil," is the fastest production car GM has ever built. It takes on a $25 million Blue Angels F/A-18 Hornet fighter jet.

    In a one-mile drag race, can the 638hp Blue Devil compete against those 32,000 pounds of thrust powering the F/A-18? Take a look at the video of this epic race (the actual contest, sans guff, starts at 8:17):
