Recently launched, iLeo, the interactive division of Leo Burnett Romania has a new corporate blog. Innovative, interactive and built entirely in flash! I’ve never seen a blog done entirely in flash, but hey, that’s just me. Pretty interesting features (i was happy to see that RSS works) and let’s hope they update it as often as possible.
Scientists from EniTech Research Labs have come up with a remarkable device (The Gardner device) - a camera that apparently is able to capture images from the future. I shit you not. This device does work like a regular camera but instead of using light to generate the photograph (= writing with light) they use tachyon particles - which are faster then light. At first I thought that this is just another spoof but reading through their website and watching pictures taken with this device leads me to think that this could be the breakthrough of our century. Here’s a small excerpt from they FAQ - which i hope will make things a little clearer:
Q: What is the Gardner Project? A: The Gardner Project is an effort to develop a device that processes imagery based on faster-than-light particles (tachyon particles). Unlike a camera which processes light, thus depicting the present, this device should theoretically detect the particles originating from a point in time farther ahead than the present. Since faster than light particles move backward in time the particle imagery that is developed should theoretically depict what we would call “future” time.
Q: But how can you see into time that different than the one we exist in? Isn’t that impossible?
A: Well actually no. In fact you probably already own a camera that can photograph the past. It’s so trivial we take it for granted. Simply walk outside and take a picture of the night sky. The stars you’re seeing are thousands of years in the past. In fact some of the stars you’re watching don’t even exist anymore and have long since died yet the light continues to take its long journey across the universe on toward our world. If someone on a distant planet (but still in the same galaxy) were watching Earth through a telescope right now, they would see perhaps the early Mesopotamians struggling to rise into civilization or the collapse of the Roman empire but not our current time.
Our device is based on a series of carefully calibrated predictions that the particles we detect should be exactly 1,191 days ahead of the time that the image is processed. We have been unable to date to adjust that amount or look farther ahead than that. And the device cannot look into the past since tachyon particles only move backwards, never forward. A good simple example is like this: [Us] <—[tachyon particles]—— [future time]
and here are some example images taken with a normal digital camera and their special device. Attention - both images from each set where taken at the same time. The 3rd set is the most mind blowing - it shows an empty land and then the 2nd image shows a massive construction.
and here is the EniTech Research Labs team presenting the device:
What’s your opinion?
Later edit: it seems that this is some viral made by FOX for their latest Terminator movie (T4). please comment if you have more info
I am currently writing this post on my blackberry and I am using the wordpress admin to do it! It’s a great mobile experience and I never thought the admin would be so friendly on a handheld device.
I am enjoying the classical 11 ron espresso that I am enjoying before every flight and I’m starting to like my blacberry 8800 more and more.
Speaking of things I love, my beautiful wife got a promotion @work and I just want to take this opportunity to tell her how happy I am for us and to whish her a great week!
Girl you take advantage that I am away and do all that crazy and wild stuff you do with your girlfriends! Love you dearly!
I just received the “Google Friends Newsletter” and there are some pretty exciting news. First of all we will be able to use Gmail with the IMAP protocol - this means better sync on all computers and devices you use to access Gmail. An extra bonus - that I find very useful is that this feature is also enabled on Gmail working on your own domain - Google Apps. I’ve been using Google Apps on my domains and I am also recomending their service to all my clients. Can’t wait to have the Gmail Mobile (link works only if you access it from you mobile device) java application available for Google Apps! (do you hear me Google?)
Here’s the exact excerpt from the newsletter:
You now have the ability to use the IMAP protocol for Gmail (including Google Apps) free of charge. Unlike the POP protocol, IMAP enables you to keep your inbox synced across all devices, so that whatever you do in your email — whether on your phone, desktop mail client, or web browser — shows up everywhere you access your email. Reading, sending, deleting and other actions you take on your messages are reflected automatically and instantaneously any place you get Gmail.
