Direct Link to High-Res Image

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...

DIY technical research papers

Came across this today while reading The Daily WTF and was quite amusing...

"SCIgen is an application that generates technical research papers. Of course, its output is all meaningless gibberish, but if you're not paying attention and just skim over its output, it seems like a real, well-researched work. Anyone who knows anything about IT, though, would realize it was garbage after a single paragraph."

Vista is a waste of time...

no... really... it makes you less efficient...

In an independent research, Pfeiffer Consulting conducted the research based on an independently financed series of benchmarks that establish how Vista impacts User Interface Friction (UIF) and user efficiency.

It found Vista to be even worse than Windows XP (SP2) -- and of course Mac OS X.

Windows Vista Hinders Creative Users’ Efficiency Even More than Windows XP Did [via /.]

P.S. Results from research and studies don't lie eh? ;)

What Vista Is Really Like

This interesting bit of prose depicts an analogy where you woke and found a strange and beautiful woman in your bed, and she was inscrutible, unpredictable, and dangerous... but oh so beautiful?

Read on... cos it's quite an amusing read...

Testing on the Toilet

Yes, you read right... on the Toilet!

We've seen those pics of the facilities (ahem, yes I do mean the toilets) of Google where they have some thing for the employees to read when they are bored on the loo... :)

"This is a service that has been apparently been running internally for several months and teaching developers about testing during their 'down time,' so to speak."

Now they started a blog where you can download (Hrmmm... claim credit for unintended pun...) the weekly episodes in PDF to put up in our own loos... Seems like an interesting notion... :)
