Interviu cu Wolfram
By now you’ve surely heard of Wolfram|Alpha, a “computational knowledge engine” which aims to take any and all systematic factual information and allow you to compute with it. Recently, RevisingMRI sat down with Wolfram|Alpha for an interview about MRI. Every answer is a genuine reply from Wolfram|Alpha (links are provided).
RevisingMRI: Good morning.
Wolfram|Alpha: Hello, human.
RevisingMRI: Pardon? Are you an alien?
Wolfram|Alpha: No I’m not.
RevisingMRI: What are you?
Wolfram|Alpha: I am a computational knowledge engine.

Bloc din lemn - Murray Grove
We have recently completed a new nine-storey residential building in Hackney, providing both private and affordable housing. Constructed entirely in timber, Murray Grove is the tallest modern timber residential building in the world.
The building has been designed using a cross-laminated timber panel system. The system has been pioneered by manufacturers KLH of Austria and is akin to jumbo plywood, arriving on site in panels up to 9m in length. This will be the first building in the world of this height to construct not only load-bearing walls and floor slabs but also stair and lift cores entirely from timber.
Each of the panels is prefabricated including cutouts for windows and doors. As the panels arrive on site they are immediately craned into position, dramatically reducing the time on site. The entire nine-story structure will be up and built within nine weeks.

Statuile de la universitate
Astazi statuile de la universitate au fost dotate cu masti de gaze. Nu pentru ca s-ar fi impartit ciorba de fasole gratis acolo ci datorita calitatii incontestabile a aerului bucurestean. Cine are informatii despre aceasta campanie sa posteze in comentarii ca sa aflam toti.
Poze facute de David.
Thanks Dave!

Schior in avalansa
Acest video este socant! In plus este ne-editat. Da... supravietuieste.
Avalanche Skier POV Helmet Cam Burial & Rescue in Haines, Alaska from Chappy on Vimeo.
The guy in the video was the first one to drop from their group and while not a guide (he was going tail-gunner style), had a lot of Utah and AK backcountry experience. He had a Black Diamond Avalung on, but as you can tell from the video while he's talking as he's dropping in, it wasn't in his mouth to start. He tried to shove it in the instant of starting to get sucked down, but it didn't stay. It was just off to the corner of his mouth he said, and he definitely got snow / ice build up as you'll see on the second sweep of the mouth by the guide after they get to him.
This was a decent sized avalanche. 1,500 feet the dude fell in a little over 20 seconds. The crown was about 1 - 1.5m. The chute that he got sucked through to the skier's right was flanked on either side by cliff bands that were about 30m tall. He luckily didn't break any bones and obviously didn't hit anything on the run out.
100 de ani de transport public in Bucuresti
Cu ocazia Zilelor Bucurestiului din 2009, cand am implinit 550 de ani de atestare documentara, s-a mai sarbatorit ceva important: 100 de ani de transport in comun in capitala, moment celebrat de RATB cu o caravana de tramvaie cu cai si alti batranei de expozitie. Din pacate noi am ratat momentul caravanei (poate si voi?), si ne-a parut asa de rau, incat ne-am gandit sa dam o tura prin ultimii 100 de ani de transport public in Bucuresti.

Coca cola vs Pepsi
In the last couple of weeks, a JPG has been making the internet rounds and, in the process, has gathered more than 6,500 Diggs (not that that is any measure of successful success, but still…) and has been mentioned in dozens of design and culture blogs, including many which I frequent and respect. The problem is that the JPG is wrong and disingenuous.

Videotelefonul in 1910
it's a sketch of a concept for what the French thought videotelephony would look like in 2000, not a working videophone, but still it shows people were thinking big at the time.
In fact, even earlier in 1878 a wily inventor named George du Maurier actually published a conceptual upgrade to the era's "speaking tubes" using this drawing below, which depicts a "viewing display" to go along with that generation's literal series of tubes.

Trandafirul albastru
To produce a naturally blue rose has been a dream of horticulturalists for almost as long as people have been breeding flowers. It turns out to be essentially impossible to do by traditional plant husbandry, and attempts have proved futile for so long that the blue rose itself has become a symbol of the impossible or the seemingly impossible, and only the rarest achievements call for their presentation as gifts. And until recently, even those rare occasions had to be served by artificially blue roses made by growing white roses in tinted water. Now, however, the Japanese company Suntory, in partnership with Australia's Florigene, have created a transgenic rose which incorporates a petunia gene to achieve a pale lilac color which is really only barely blue. It took them 13 years of work to do it, however, so I guess they've decided pale lilac is close enough.

amanda levete architects: 10 hills place
the project is levete’s response when asked by her client to adapt and extend
an existing commercial building - a hybrid of an ornate and well-mannered corner piece
fronting oxford street and a less distinguished three-storey 1970s addition to the rear,
containing a retail unit on levels one and two and offices above.
the architects were shifting the emphasis from oxford street to hills place, by placing a lightweight
steel frame on the existing concrete structure, and applying a new skin to bring presence to a
previously boring building.
at ground level a bespoke glass, mesh and dichromatic film sandwich is animated with fibre
optics to create visual depth of field and a moiré pattern on an otherwise blank facade.
the skin continues down to the ground, enveloping the existing building.

H1N1 la PAX
Prezenta H1N1 la Penny arcade expo a fost confirmata. Nu a fost data o cifra exact a numarului de infectati dar sunt "destul de multi incat sa fie implementate masurile de siguranta".Evident gamerii nu sunt oamenii cu cel mai dezvoltat simt al igienei dar ma intreb daca orice conventie/intrunire/show de acum incolo va fi marcat de proceduri de decontaminare din cauza super-molimelor abatute asupra noastra.

Porumbel vs internet
A Durban IT company pitted an 11-month-old bird armed with a 4GB memory stick against the ADSL service from the country's biggest web firm, Telkom.
Winston the pigeon took two hours to carry the data 60 miles - in the same time the ADSL had sent 4% of the data.
Winston the pigeon was allowed no "performance-enhancing seeds"

Discriminare la bancomat?
Un bancomat al Volksbank din Konstanz, un oraş german de la graniţa cu Elveţia, a avut timp de mai bine de două zile o defecţiune curioasă, el confruntând fiecare client care voia să schimbe bani cu o întrebare indiscretă: "Locuiţi în România?", relatează cotidianul Südkurier.

Gatitul cu o mana
Multi nu se descurca nici cu doua maini in bucatarie. Unii oameni sunt nevoiti sa se descurce cu o singura mana. Acest blat e gandit sa permita utilizarea complet cu alta mana. Probabil exista o piata si pentru oamenii care vorbesc constant la telefon si vor sa gateasca.

Injectable brain gel
The ongoing Military Health Research Forum is discussing the use of an injectable hydrogel for the treatment of traumatic brain injury, which -- unlike our ability to do push-ups -- is no joke. The fertilizer part comes from the gel's ability to stimulate the growth of neural stem cells within the brain, which are then capable of repairing damaged nerves and preventing the spread of harm to other cells. "Brain tissue regeneration" might not be the wisest name for it, but tests on rats have shown sustained functional recovery, and we understand that with enough Igors on the job, this could be put into use within the next three years.
