Engineers playing beer pong, for science - Video
If anything, this technology will one day be implemented in the battlefield, the engine of a space shuttle or in an ASHPD — but for now it’s being used to play beer pong in a college campus. If anyone is wondering why they aren’t drinking, it’s sort of hard to get away with that in a public campus.

iPhone location tracking debacle explained with CGI by way of Japan - Video
iPhone location tracking debacle explained with CGI by way of Japan - Video
So if you haven’t read the news (please refer to this article by Nilay Patel) Apple has given the iPhone the ability to track your location, and log it to an un-encrypted file. Once you sync your iPhone to your computer, the recorded location data is backed up into iTunes, and it basically just sits there. It’s a pretty contraversial topic right now, so what’s better than having it explained to you by a CGI Japanese news report… complete with Steve Jobs fist-pumping?
