Mmalone posted this on Pownce earlier today. It’s really cool. Here were his notes:

This is freaky… You need to use in-ear head phones while listening. I actually turned my head when someone said something b/c I thought it was real :P.

!schill says: Grab a seat, some headphones and a few minutes’ time - you’re going to get virtually buzzed!

Recorded with “binaural” in-ear microphones and minidisc at a top-secret location in San Francisco’s North Beach neighbourhood, a favourite place I’ve been going to since moving to California.

(For more wackiness, read up on “binaural audio” on the Internets. The effect is surreal and quite cool when done well.)

Could this be a picture of the new iPhone? Who knows, I guess will have to wait and see…

iPhone 2? iPhone Pro?

Samsung announced the beginning of the release of 46 “LCD panels with the highest brightness (for its class) in the world - 1500 cd/m2. At “conventional” LCD panels this option is approximately three times lower.

To achieve such a brightness managed through the use CCFL-lamps (on cold cathode), working at very high currents, as well as extremely thin color filter.

The panel has a contrast level of 3000:1 and resolution 1366 х768 pixels. At that angle vertically and horizontally comprise 178 °. Manufacturer developed the device with the possibility of creating video walls of several panels.

Due to new high brightness novelty can be used even in bright sunlight. The placing of screens on the basis of these panels supposed in places such as bus stops, railway stations, supermarkets, museums.

This is pretty awesome.

Are you Brave Enough?

Well, now that the Microsoft-Yahoo (Microhoo) deal is over, Microsoft still isn’t willing to give up in the online world. Sources close to M$oft say the company’s bankers have begun signaling to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerburg interest in acquiring his company. They said, “we just want to gauge their interest, more than any real effort.” Although, last fall, M$oft acquired 1.6% of Facebook for $240 million. So I guess will just have to wait and see where this one goes.

Well, I went and saw the Into The Wild movie, a long time ago. But I just finished the book, which I have to say was far better than the movie so I thought I’d wait and write this post until I was done with the book, which was awesome because it brought up different perspectives. So what exactly is ‘Into the Wild’ about?

What would possess a gifted young man recently graduated from college to literally walk away from his life and having $24,000 saved up to start his adventurous life? Noted outdoor writer and mountaineer Jon Krakauer tackles that question in his reporting on Chris McCandless, whose emaciated body was found in an abandoned bus in the Alaskan wilderness in 1992. Described by friends and relatives as smart, literate, compassionate, and funny, did McCandless simply read too much Thoreau and Jack London and lose sight of the dangers of heading into the wilderness alone? Krakauer, whose own adventures have taken him to the perilous heights of Everest, provides some answers by exploring the pull the outdoors, seductive yet often dangerous, has had on his own life.

I thought both this book and movie were spectacular. I don’t think the message was portrayed very well in the movie as it did in the book. I did however; understand why he did what he did (unlike a lot people). Why did he do what he did? Well it all comes down to our very own corrupt society in which we live everyday. And why did he die (this is another thing that wasn’t shown very well in the movie, but you did get to catch a glimpse of it)? Well he died because of the poisonous berries that he ate. Why did he eat poisonous berries? Well, he carried a berry book around with him while he was collecting berries to see which berries were eatable and which were not. He happens to come across these berries that were identical to each other, and he took a chance and ate the poisonous ones by accident, he then later died.

So the past few nights, Conan has been doing these little video spoofs on GTA IV. I’ve compiled all three. Enjoy! They’re pretty hysterical!

Well, because of the increasing ammount of traffic that is visiting Zingwat Search, Zingwat Proxy, and Zingwat Photo I’ve decided to put ads up on Zingwat Search, which is where the significant ammount of traffic is going. Not huge, or a ton of them, just one small banner on the bottom. Why have I decided to do this? Well, because when you get 300,000 hits in 2 months, it’s kind of a no brainer.

As you may have noticed that I’ve been changing back and forth with a few new templates lately. I’ve been doing that to tweak them and to come out with the perfect one for this blog. I think I’ve finally found it, and I’m going to stay with it. Some may say this template is “blah,” but I would have to disagree, because I believe that this is simplicity at its finest. So I’m going to stick with it and see how it holds for awhile. Also, my site has been super laggy and the response time has been horrible lately, I’m currently trying to fix that as well. Zingwat Search has been getting numerous (tens of thousands) of hits every week, so I’m working to scale out those problems and hopefully you will see improvement overall on the site.

Thanks,

So, this is a little late of an update being that I saw Iron Man last Wednesday, but still I want to express my love and tell you about the best super hero movie ever! So basically Robert Downey Jr. is Iron Man and in the movie plays as Tony Stark who is the CEO of Stark Industries, which is a weapons manufacturer. So, on his journey back to the airport base over in Afghanistan he’s kidnapped by these terrorists who want him to build his new weapon called Jericho, because basically without him, they have nothing. So they give him all the supplies he needs in order to build this very powerful weapon, but of course, he doesn’t help them, instead he builds a prototype of what is later in the movie known as Iron Man. He builds this suit using knowledge and integrity in order to escape captivity from these terrorists. So that is the gist of the movie. This one gets a whopping 10 out of 5 “zings” (stars) from me and just about everyone who goes and sees this movie. People are calling this one, the best super hero movie ever, and I just have to agree with them 100%. Along with that it’s setting box office records bringing in over $100 Million in the first 3 days! So do me a favor, go and see this one.
