Nobody likes to see a photograph of themselves. Now you can shudder and squirm even more, thanks to The Perception Laboratory and the University of St Andrews’ Facial Transformer.
It’s as easy as uploading a mugshot and then selecting one of their transformation filters.
Here’s what the buggers did to MY beautiful mugshot…
I hate to think how long I’ve spent looking at the elevator Up/Down buttons in my office building. Glaring at them never seems to make the elevators arrive any faster, and pushing them repeatedly never helps, either.
However, I did get a chuckle at the warning text that’s embossed just above the buttons.
I think it SHOULD read, “In case of fire, do not use elevators.” That’s a different message than what’s actually stated.
Going reeeeeeely fast on a bike is fun, but is also lots of work. How can you increase your speed?
Just ride downhill? Nope. Electric assists? Don’t make me laugh…
No, siree. I want a rack-mounted rocket assist.
The Internet has been around for about ten years now. Predictions as to how the Internet would change our lives (or destroy humanity) varied. Some of them have come true, some haven’t, and along the way, all kinds of new and cool uses were discovered. (Think blogging, RSS feeds, Google’s satellite maps and so on.)
So how do we use the Internet now? Stanford University has published "Ten Years After the Birth of the Internet, How Do Americans Use the Internet in Their Daily Lives." (PDF)
It’s an interesting read.
Amazing — Microsoft has actually done something good!
It’s been a couple of years in the making, but Microsoft’s CET (Child Exploitation Tracking System) has helped the Toronto Police Service’s Sex Crimes Unit track down and charge a man previously arrested on child-pornography charges with sexually assaulting a 4-year-old-girl, taking pornographic pictures of her and distributing them.
I never thought I’d say this, but "Good job, Microsoft!"
