Mac Plus vs AMD Dualcore

I actually do miss my old Mac Plus

It was an awesome machine, and as the link above shows it is awesomer than any modern windows PC. You like how I added my editorial comment there to inflame the masses? Neat.

One Trillion Pixels...

*Dr Evil pinky pose*



Well, it's not a very interesting image, but it's got relevance to me as it's of a stained cross-section of cancerous breast tissue (and I've seen similar stuff from the work that wifey is doing), and it's an example from a digital pathology imaging company, to show what their stuff is capable of... The image is repeated at a high level, but just imagine what detail you can see if medical imaging equipment can capture copious amounts of pixels in the near future...

skoda tv ad - cake car

I saw this ad on Irish TV. I was impressed that they went to so much trouble to make an awesome ad for such a car.

scroll to the bottom to watch the ad if you don't want to read all the details first.

Noah's Ark 2.0

Not really a v2.0 .. more like a Mobile Edition.

May 28, 2007 While politics and public opinion remain divided on global warming, the majority of scientific weight tells us that the major factor contributing to rising global temperatures is our own environmental carelessness. This is certainly Greenpeace's view; the well-known environmental lobby group has started construction of a replica of Noah's Ark on the top of Mt. Ararat as a warning of the bleak future the planet could be facing if strong action isn't taken.

Google Reader for the Wii

Okay, not sure how many folks out there have a Nintendo Wii and also regularly use Google Reader, but the nice folks at Google have optimized Google Reader such that you can use it on a Wii and navigate using the Wiimote!

Even if you don't have a Wii and you want to check out the interface, you can click on the link below to check it out in your non-Wii browser...

Image Theft

5 days of a pro photographer

Nice movie that shows every photo taken over a 5 day span. You get to see the not so good shots as well as the good ones, and to be honest most of this guy's shots are better than my best.

The wisdom of the crowd indeed.
