A UFO image snapped over Chelsea, New York
Either someone is uploading their old UFO tapes to Youtube all at once, or there is a crazy co-incidence happening. It seems that in-fact there actually is something fishy going on, and we’re going to lay it out for you right now.
In today’s world, we want more (and better quality) for less, and less money. The average household has enough electronics to build an (awesome) gadget-fort, and the most popular way to get rid of the gadgets we no-longer want is to simply toss them on the trash. Little thought is put into what actually happens behind the scenes, and how our electronics are picked apart for valuable metals, and disposed of. Here is a simple infographic of how much e-waste we are generating, and a video showing what actually happens when you “recycle” a gadget.
This is one of those moments where nothing else seems to matter — seeing the curvature of the earth, and the horizon where outer-space meets humans. The view is breathtaking and the drop from 100,000 feet (19 miles high) and zooms back to earth in an almost perfect fashion. The truly remarkable part of this video is it was done out of pure curiosity, and love of discovery. Just a father and son, flying balloons on a windy day.
In August 2010, we set out to send a camera to space. The mission was to attach an HD video camera to a weather balloon and send it up into the upper stratosphere to film the blackness beyond our earth. Eventually, the balloon will grow from lack of atmospheric pressure, burst, and begin to fall.
It would have to survive 100 mph winds, temperatures of 60 degrees below zero, speeds of over 150 mph, and the high risk of a water landing. To retrieve the craft, it would need to deploy a parachute, descend through the clouds and transmit a GPS coordinate to a cell phone tower. Then we have to find it…Quote from the video’s creator (un-able to find the original uploader)
Update - Apparently the iPhone 4 was just used as a GPS transmitter and nothing more — a GoPro Hero camera was used to capture video. Thanks J.D. Remington (comments).
Such a sad day for geeks. The guy who backbones the Segway corporation (and our transit of choice) died driving off a cliff, and into a river.. on a Segway. So very un-cool and sad — “A British millionaire businessman whose company builds and markets the Segway upright scooter died when he apparently rode one of his machines over a cliff and into a river” — NineMsn Australia
This guy charges $11,000 for a single car wash! But don’t underestimate 30 year-old Gurcharn Sahota - in this video he shares his secrets in the world of washing Ferrari’s, Lamborghini’s, and Bugatti’s.
Starting from $12,000 a tub wax to microscopes, Gucharn spends up to 250 hours washing cars in his own Formula 1 style pit garage.
And guess what, his favorite car is the McLaren F1.
This may be one of the coolest ideas I’ve heard in a long time and I regret not posting this a couple days ago when I found out about. But hey, there’s still time to film.
Life in a Day is a documentary filmed by you, the users, about what you’re doing today on July 24th. Once all the submissions are in producers Ridley Scott and Kevin Macdonald will select the best footage from everyone’s videos and make a documentary about it.
Get your camera’s ready!
Anon selected their target and they made an example of her; in other words: mission accomplished.
Now I’m not condoning the acts mentioned in this case of so-called “cyber bullying”, but what I am saying is that kids needs to be educated on the in’s and out’s of the internet, and not by computer illiterate users who just use it to check email and use Facebook to catch up with old friends.
