Greenscreen



Se pare ca este mai usor sa faci greenscreening decat sa pui oamenii sa mearga pe afara.

Diamante



Articolul arata cum cartelul diamantelor controleaza pretul lor desi diamantele nu mai sunt rare in zilele noastre. "Nebunia" diamantelor este rezultatul unor campanii publicitare de peste 50 de ani care au urmarit stabilirea traditiei diamantelor in folclor. Chiar daca articolul e lung merita citite primele 4 pagini cel putin.

Acum 40 de ani


(click pt mai mare)

Asa arata Kabul (Afganistan) acum 40 de ani. Intre timp razboiul prelungit si furtul au distrus toata vegetatia si terenul tarii. Mai exista doar 2% din copacii care existau acum 40 de ani din cauza traficului ilegal cu cherestea catre Pakistan.

Gorilla Portraits



Yesterday we went to the North Carolina Zoo, the third largest zoo in the U.S.A. We got there early in the day when the gorillas were just waking up.

I remembered something I learned in my primate social behavior class. I approached the glass with a submissive posture, looking down at the ground and backing up with my hand out.
The gorilla loved it. He had never seen a human act like a polite ape before. He came right up to the glass and posed for me while I did this half-hour portrait from just two feet away. It was like sketching someone on a subway. I tried to just glance at him discreetly out of the corner of my eye.

Alte ciudatenii deasupra Rusiei


The identity of the shape has not been confirmed. Russian reports ruled out a UFO but police refused to comment

Dupa evenimentele dubioase de acum cateva saptamani in care era implicata Rusia acum au loc alte evenimente ciudate. Rusii fac ceva... important.

In caz ca nu stiati google sugereaza searchuri in functie de ce cauta alti oameni cel mai des. This is how I lose faith in humanity.

No, these photographs weren't taken by an astrophysicist or whipped up in a special-effects lab. Photographer Larry Alvarez takes these pictures of the sun in his backyard using a camera, a telescope, and some homemade gear. With some tips from Alvarez, you can build your own solar telescope camera, too.

Biroul Zen


This is my workspace. I built the Shelf myself with a tray inset and planted some wheat grass for a nice color. The shelf is also light from beneath for a nice ambient glow at night. I love the dual monitor setup and mounted the 23" HD Cinema display with a VESA wall mount. I also built the desk from a door, attached it to the wall with a cleat and and attached two legs from EQ3. I'm still in school and have lots of group projects, so the large desk is perfect for two people. All in all I love having this workspace in my bedroom. Suggestions welcome. Let me know what you think!

This is the terrifying moment a British photographer cheated death as an out-of-control drag racing car careered towards him out of control.

Andy Willsheer kept snapping even as the 250mph car spun towards the crash barrier at Pomona Raceway in California.

A stroke of insight

Cumpara carti mai ieftine de pe Amazon



Above you see a (partial) screenshot for the first result if you search for harry potter and have selected the Netherlands as your country. For every result CheapRiver.com shows a table with the prices of the book in United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France and Canada.

The lowest prices are indicated with a green background. Here you see that the cheapest is to buy the Harry Potter Box set in the US to have it delivered to the Netherlands it only cost (on Dec 13 2009) 37.26€ while in the UK it'll cost you 51.03€, Germany 58.99€, France 63.77€ and in Canada this version of the Harry Potter Box is not available. So you see that the cheapest option is more than 40% cheaper than the most expensive one.

Spiralele de pe cer

In ultimele zile au aparut pe cerul tarilor nordice niste spirale ciudate.

Varianta oficiala este ca prima a fost cauzata de un test esuat al unei rachete rusesti.
A mai fost una:

Sunt convins ca sunt niste teste dar chiar sa esueze doua rachete exact la fel? Ce motoare testeaza rusii?

Un moment de liniste
