Metastaza urbana

Shanghai 1990-2010





Los Angeles 1908-2003


Dubai 1990-2003


Cresterea asta necontrolata este incredibila din multe puncte de vedere. Imi pare rau ca Bucurestiul nu are asemenea poze.

Naveta spatiala NASA functioneaza cu 1MB de RAM


It’s true! NASA’s space shuttle is controlled by a computer running on only one megabyte of RAM. How is this possible? Since the space shuttle and all its hardware is over 30 years old, so is its computer. The current computer is actually an upgraded version of the 500-kilobyte computer that was used until 1991, but still based on the same outdated technology from the 1980s.

The myPod personal office



Need a unique spot for your studio/workshop/cave? Perhaps you could get inspired to incubate your latest crazy ideas inside one of these. They're being pitched as an environmentally benign alternative to commuting and less expensive to heating a whole house for a home office.

autocompletely.com - wisdom of the hivemind



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.

Recomand sa incercati la google.com:
romania is
why are romanian
why is romania

Ati avut vreodata nevoie sa organizati un laborator si nu stiati cum? Aveti chef de vreun experiment? N-ati facut ore de la laborator la liceu desi vroiati?

Google Navigation


Google just announced a beta free navigation system that will come with Android 2.0 from the start. That hit TomTom and Garmin stock. (down 34%!)


Google already knows what you search for (Google search), what you write about (gmail),what you chat about (gtalk), what you're working on (gWave), what you talk about (gVoice), where you are (g Latitude), what you do with your mobile (Android), what you like to watch (Youtube), what you buy online (gCheckout), what you model in 3d (SketchUp), who you talk to, what photos you take and where you take them (Picasa), what your medical records are (Google Medical), who your friends are (indexes Facebook by contract).
With Google navigation they'll know where you're going, who you're visiting, when you're doing it, what route you're taking and how fast you were going. All for free!
Google has admitted that their central AI (yes they have one) continously builds "anonymous profiles" of the users.


Frumos nu? Totusi Google Maps nu merge in Romania... inca.
