One Field, 600,000 CDs
Bruce Munro and 140 of his closest friends placed a total of 600,000 CDs over the span of Wiltshire field in the UK over the course of a weekend. The CDSea project started when Munro asked the public to donate their used CDs. After amassing a collection of 600,000, Munro did what any sane person would do after accumulating so many discs. He laid them in a vast field in pretty designs. Hit the jump for more pics.
Mercenaries 2 DLC: Palin And Obama Skins
Finally, a reason to give Mercenaries 2 some play time. The most mediocre game, ever, gets a spice of color and “maverickism,” with the ability to take both Sarah Palin and Barack Obama into the field of battle. Hijack tanks, blow up choppers and even slaughter civilians as your favorite Democratic or Republican presidential candidate. Palin’s facial expressions denote a certain satisfaction when shooting guard dogs, while Barack Obama retains that smug look and calmness while carjacking a military vehicle.... Continue reading
Sniffing Keystrokes By Monitoring Magnetic Field
Two doctoral students, Martin Vuagnoux and Sylvain Pasini from the Security and Cryptography Laboratory at the Swiss Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne, have discovered a potential threat to security that declares keyboards “unsafe to transmit sensitive information”. By monitoring signals produced by keystrokes, the researchers were able to reproduce what had been typed on 11 different keyboards using a variety of different attacks. One specific attack worked as far away as 20 meters from the keyboard. The next time you... Continue reading
Recreating The Earth’s Magnetic Field – On Earth
Scientists are always trying to replicate phenomenons here on earth. With the Large Hadron Collider attempting to test various theories and even replicate the big bang, you’d think scientists all over the world have their hands full. On the contrary, scientists at the University of Maryland have their own little maniacal tests to conduct. They’ve built a ten foot high, 30 ton apparatus that’ll attempt to generate a magnetic field by spinning liquid sodium metal, much like the way Earth... Continue reading
Slow And Steady Wins The War On Drugs
Growing marijuana is a crime and that’s a damned shame. It’s no mystery that it’s a great pain reliever and can turn any award winning drama into a laugh-out-loud comedy. The war on drugs has always been a controversial topic in the realm of political agenda and the media. It’s only getting more controversial now that they’re busting growers with GPS turtles. Yes, GPS turtles. After reports of several marijuana fields throughout Rock Creek Park south of the DC/Maryland line,... Continue reading
Baseball Team No One Watches To Get Touchscreens In Stadium
The Oakland A’s. A team no one really cares about, just like the post-Bo Jackson Raiders. However, that’s not going to stop the developer of Cisco Field, the A’s new baseball stadium in construction, from hooking up fans. Cisco is looking to add interactive wireless touchscreens to each seat in the stadium. You could look up player stats, game stats, order a hot dog, request a beer, complain about a heckling fan and so much more. Now all the A’s... Continue reading
