Physicists spooked by faster-than-light information transfer
Topic: Science 2:12 pm EDT, Aug 18, 2008

Two photons can be connected in a way that seems to defy the very nature of space and time, yet still obeys the laws of quantum mechanics.

Physicists at the University of Geneva achieved the weird result by creating a pair of ‘entangled’ photons, separating them, then sending them down a fibre optic cable to the Swiss villages of Satigny and Jussy, some 18 kilometres apart.

Koyaanisqatsi
Topic: Arts 9:11 am EDT, Aug 16, 2008

A motion picture essay which takes a revealing and shocking look at modern life and its imbalances. The first film in a trilogy which was followed by Powaqatsi.

I watched this a couple months ago. I didn't know there were sequels planned.

Cubism in 3D isn't quite as impressive, but it's still pretty neat.

Beet.TV: YouTube Has Speech-to-Text Functionality.....and it Works
Topic: Computers 9:42 pm EDT, Aug  3, 2008

YouTube has introduced rich metadata into select videos, which will significantly impact how online video is discovered and consumed.

Announced in June, we have found the technology is very useful. Last week, we got an update on this from Steve Grove, head of news and politics at YouTube.

YouTube applies a technology in which automated spiders "listen" and transcribe the words in the audio track of a video. This transcription, in the form of metadata, is embedded into the video.

This new speech-to-text technology has been applied to campaign videos from John McCain and Barack Obama as well as non-campaign produced clips. The search box is found on YouTube You Choose page. (It's on the lower left area of the page.) Visitors can enter words such as "Iraq, "Global Warming," and "Free Trade." Also, putting your cursor over the timeline, you can see the transcription.

Anthrax scientist commits suicide as FBI closes in - washingtonpost.com
Topic: War on Terrorism 9:16 pm EDT, Aug  2, 2008

WASHINGTON -- A top U.S. biodefense researcher apparently committed suicide just as the Justice Department was about to file criminal charges against him in the anthrax mailings that traumatized the nation in the weeks following the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, according to a published report.

I was wondering whatever happened with this.

World Water Day - how to make water out of urine - print, India | Adland
Topic: Health and Wellness 2:06 am EDT, Aug  2, 2008

For world water day Ogilvy & Mather, Mumbai decided to go the educational route and actually tech us how to make your urine drinkable water in this poster, which looks a lot like old school posters in its Art Direction/ Illustration style.

It's pretty simply actually, all you need is a hole in the ground, a bucket, some tarp and rocks, the sun itself and then of course, your pee. In fact I hear that the �bertough French foreign league men and Chilean army soldiers do this all the time. So next time you're at a loss for water, here you go.

I wonder if this is how Gatorade is made.

Trapped in an Elevator: Online Only Video: The New Yorker
Topic: Recreation 2:01 am EDT, Aug  2, 2008

This week in the magazine, Nick Paumgarten writes about the lives of elevators, and tells the story of Nicholas White, who was trapped in an elevator in New York City’s McGraw-Hill building for forty-one hours. Here is a condensed look at White’s ordeal, as captured by the building’s security cameras.

The video is interesting. Looks like he managed to hold it in all that time.
