Shooting Challenge Sunset Gallery 2

Taken with a Cannon SX210. Tried to figure out a good place with lots of open area for the sunset, and the closest i could think of was the nearby local airport. I’d hoped to get a plane as it landed as well, though i couldn’t get a fast enough shutter speed to really make…

White holes might be too unstable to exist in our universe

White holes are basically black holes in reverse: They eject all the matter sucked into a black hole. We’ve never observed one, and most astrophysicists suspect they don’t exist – all because they’re not the exact opposite of black holes. White holes are, on a theoretical level, simply a recognition of the fact that, if…

Indonesian Parliament Hit by Hackers With 15mins of Porn

For 15 long, glorious minutes, members of the parliament (and assembled journalists) were treated to porno photos on the internal TV channel. It’s believed hackers retaliated to the government’s commands that ISPs block porn by August 11th for Ramadan. August 11th is the beginning of the Muslim Ramadan festival, where they abstain from eating, drinking,…

A city made of ash

From the Zoroastrianism Heritage Institute: What makes Kandovan village so unique is that many of its homes have been made in caves located in cone-shaped, naturally formed compressed volcanic ash formations that…

Print Photos From an iPhone to Brother Printer

There are far more interesting apps out there, but sometimes a brother’s just gotta print something. Printer (and sewing machine!) company Brother now has an iPhone/iPad app, which prints wirelessly but can also scan to the devices, too. iPrint&Scan is a free app, as you’d expect when you’ve already paid a few hundred for one…

BlackBerry Torch Impressions: The BlackBerry, Weirdly Evolved

BlackBerry Torch. The name of the phone that RIM hopes will revitalize BlackBerry is so metaphorically heavy handed that it almost inflicts blunt-force trauma. The iconic BlackBerry metastasized into a slider with sparkly new software, it’s wonderfully weird. Imagine any BlackBerry released in the last year. Now imagine that the screen and trackpad sprouted downward,…

Air Purifier Glows Red When It Senses Pollution

I don’t know how bad the pollution gets in your house, but I’m willing to put a few college students could do with a visual reminder that it’s time to put the rubbish out. Coway’s AP-1008 is that reminder. When the hole glows red, it means the pollution is at its highest-possible level. Light purple…

The Blackberry Torch 9800, a sleek slider with both a touch screen and a full keyboard, is the first device to come loaded with RIM’s revamped BlackBerry 6 OS. But one interesting bit from the press release suggests that BlackBerry’s older touch screen devices won’t get the update: https://gizmodo.com/blackberry-torch-9800-so-this-is-blackberrys-dark-knig-5603202 Subject to carrier certifications in the…

This Lunar astronaut art is going up in the final space shuttle flight

There’s something almost unbearably sad and touching about this bright piece of art, depicting astronauts on the Moon. It’s going to be included on the very last space shuttle flight, the end of the space program that gave us Apollo. The acrylic painting, which won an art contest, is the work of 14-year-old Lake Orion,…

BlackBerry Torch 9800: So This Is BlackBerry’s Dark Knight

Well, the BlackBerry Torch 9800 is a real thing! It’s a crazy-thin touchscreen slider BlackBerry running Waterloo’s latest and (probably) greatest software, the revamped BlackBerry OS 6. It is interesting. https://gizmodo.com/blackberry-bold-9800-slider-renamed-as-torch-9800-5564798 To start, it still looks a lot like a BlackBerry!

Is This An Exceptionally Long Park Bench, or a Very Short Rollercoaster Ride?

There’s some contention over whether Littlehampton’s park bench is the longest in the world, but at 324m in length it’s most certainly the UK’s longest, and can seat 300 weary passerby. Created by Studio Weave and opened to the public only a few days ago, there are already plans afoot to extend it to 621m…

Quantum computers could overturn Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle

The uncertainty principle is at the foundation of quantum mechanics: You can measure a particle’s position or its velocity, but not both. Now it seems that quantum computer memory could let us violate this rule. The theoretical underpinnings of the uncertainty principle are, like most things to do with quantum mechanics, extremely difficult to follow…
