Adobe & Macromedia humor

tim @ 10:06 am

As reported previously, Adobe and Macromedia have merged. Here’s the cynical view.

What are the benefits of the combined product lines?

Many of our customer segments are complementary and in many cases customers in those segments are using products from both companies. The combined company will be able to offer increased productivity through streamlined workflow and tighter integration. However, until the close of the transaction, the companies will continue to operate their respective businesses as usual.

Once Freehand, Fireworks, and GoLive are killed, customers will have the benefit of not having any competing apps to choose from, and we benefit from not having any competitors.

3 short clips

jp @ 6:58 pm

3 short clips from ebaumsworld. Drunk Guy, poor fella has probably had a long day. Crazy bus driver you go kids, kick his ass. My favourite would be the invisible cards. Get up that sleeve you bad boys. I’d love to be able to do that trick, I’d get the sugar, then the money, then the power and then the women.

Swazi King marries 11th wife

dodger @ 3:02 pm

Just a regular day in Swaziland. The King marries his 11th wife who at 21 is bearing his 25th child. Two more women already set to marry him, although he’d want to get a move on to catch his dad who when he died had more than 70 wives.

The unemployment rate stands at 40% while nearly 70% of the country’s one million inhabitants live on less than $1 a day and nearly 40% of adults are HIV positive.

9 drawings

weird experiment from the late 1950’s where they got an artist to draw while taking LSD. The deterioration is strange and of course then follows the mandatory comedown.

A lens five times thinner than paper

danger @ 10:25 am
Scientists at Canada’s Universite Laval have invented a lens that is five times thinner than a piece of paper and can zoom without using mechanical parts. The lens is created by adding a small quantity of photosensitive material to a liquid crystal cell. When a weak electrical current is applied, the crystals realign differently from those in the periphery and thus take on the shape and behavior of a lens. The researchers have been able to modify the lens’ focal distance from 1.6 to 8 meters in a few milliseconds by increasing the voltage from 1.5 to 4.5 volts.

Sweet. Full story. (via.)

OMFG THAT ******* NINJA

adnans @ 10:02 am

xxxninja

Another one from the world of Azeroth. This time a ninja looter (the person who steals items without rolling on them) on an American server no doubt. After going through Molten Core for hours (these things can take all night) and finally defeating Garr, due to a bug or something, a single person walks to the body of the fallen enemy and loots all the rare and epic gear the whole forty person raid group was after in the first place. Their reaction are recoreded on video and the usual ventrilo voice comms chat. The background story behind the ninja roll is depicted in this image. What also made this popular is that hot women (photoshopped or not) play nerdy video games.

Ninjas FTW! Oops, I mean Dudes!

Graffiti Analysis Project

adnans @ 9:47 am

hell tag

I always liked ni9e’s stuff whatever he did. He mainly reconstructs graffiti with slick video production and experiments with various media to highlight graffiti’s importance in today’s culture. He also did a slick version of NWA Straight Outta Comptopn (explicit lyrics only version). Analysis of graffiti project (video & image) features a massive video projection on New York buildings and monuments to highlight the creation of tags such as ‘Hell’ (seen above) and ‘JESUS SAVES’ amongst a few others. You’ve got a lot more tags to write… grift.

LEEEEROY JENNKIIIIINKS!

adnans @ 2:04 pm

A guild raid party in World of Warcraft is preparing to take on The Rookery in the Blackrock Spire (a high level instance dungeon). The dragon eggs are everywhere and getting close to them will make them hatch, and very hungry. The boss in the area drops some very nice shoulders which are completely useless for Leeroy but he insists on going in. The video captures the scene and the ventrillo talk between the guild mates. Obviosuly staged but very funny.

It’s that good

Sith Happens

I watched it on wednesday night, midnight screening. It’s the best one of the prequels. Watch the Star Wars: New Hope before if you can to enjoy the movie even more. Get the EPS pattern of the t-shirt here.
