BLOCKING ADS on Xbox 360 Dashboard
Posted 14 years agoEarlier this week, Microsoft rolled out its rootin'-tootin' motion-sensin' new dashboard interface for the Xbox 360. And along with the host of new features came a most unwanted companion... ads. Luckily, for those willing to tinker a bit, there may be a way to stop Chuck Norris from showing up on your Xbox dashboard.

EPIC MYTHBUSTERS' Cannonball Gone Deadly
Posted 14 years agoApparently the cannonball had fired by accident while they were calibrating the aim to hit some barrels full of water. Unfortunately the cannonball fired high into the air, going through one house, hitting the sidewalk and bouncing off it right into a door of house across the street, out of the back of the house, finally landing inside minivan after crashing through the window. How far? 3,300 feet... Sad part? This will not be aired on tv... :(

HIDE YOUR KIDZ!!! PedoBear coming FOR YA!! So says news..
Posted 14 years agoYeah this is one of those things that one really has to laugh at. The things they come up with such as "cute bear attracting little kids to pedo sites" is just ridiculous. It seems Oklahoma is not the only one who's paranoid anymore but rather also Pennsylvania, Arizona, California, and New Mexico as well.

Let me know what you people want please! Journal entry or narration? ^.^
The Future According To MICROSOFT
Posted 14 years agoOkay we all know how we feel about Microsoft today. Most of us hate it for what its done, especially those who suffered with either computer glitches, such as the infamous Vista or ME, and the Red Ring of Death on Xbox 360's. But one has to admit that there are some things that they have done that are cool. One of them is Microsoft being able to see how the future might be like. I recall Bill Gates' book from 1996 called "The Road Ahead" which contained clips of video of what he thought what the future might be like. He was off on one or two things but the rest he nailed it down pretty well. In the next video you'll see what Microsoft has in store for us in the future, well maybe. As much as I want to poke fun at parts of this video, I have to admit most of it is pretty damn cool.

HoloDesk
Posted 14 years agoImagine, if you will, a holodesk where you are able to work with things that are not really there. I can only say this in two words: DAMNED IMPRESSIVE!
HoloDesk is a novel interactive system combining an optical see through display and Kinect camera to create the illusion that users are directly interacting with 3D graphics. A virtual image of a 3D scene is rendered through a half silvered mirror and spatially aligned with the real-world for the viewer. Users easily reach into an interaction volume displaying the virtual image. This allows the user to literally get their hands into the virtual display. A novel real-time algorithm for representing hands and other physical objects, which are sensed by the Kinect inside this volume, allows physically realistic interaction between real and virtual 3D objects.

EXPLODING TOILETS!!!! Wait... wtf?!
Posted 14 years agoWe're at our most vulnerable when we're taking care of business in the bathroom. But the feeling of safety provided by a closed stall can sometimes be false. A woman who works at the General Services Administration Building in Washington, D.C. suffered the sum of all fears when her toilet exploded on her, sending her to the hospital with serious injuries.

What I Did On The Morning Of September 9/11
Posted 14 years agoWARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING
Before I share something that day I have one rule... DO NOT post anything on "conspiracy" bullshit on 9/11. I don't believe in it and its insulting/disrespectful to those who died. Share your own feelings but don't go spouting on conspiracy babble. Its already been debunked by various people including Penn and Teller.
WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING
Its a little hard to believe it has been 10 years since that day and yet I remember it like it was yesterday. I was still living by myself, trying to get by in life and I hadn't met my mate at the time. I was still living in Colorado at the time in a small apartment and that day I was simply trying to sleep the morning off. I'm not sure if what happened next was some sort of sign to wake up or not but my sleep was disturbed when someone living next door started blaring their music. Unfortunately this neighbor of mine had the audacity to do this almost every morning and it upset me every time. This was like 8:50 a.m. at the time and I gave up in trying to sleep with the continuing loud noise. I left the bedroom and plopped myself onto the couch, turning on the TV to kill time. When I looked up to see the tv, I noticed some sort of report about the World Trade Center but I had no idea and was still half asleep so I began to change the channels. I guess I was still upset because of the neighbor that woke me up and didn't think clearly. It wasn't until I had changed to other channels, noticing they were all reporting the same thing. I decided to stop and watch what it was all about. Just hearing how there were reports about an airplane hitting it, it finally clicked into my brain. I remember thinking to myself loudly, Oh my God... this is horrible. I didn't think of it too much until 9:03 am when I saw the other plane hit the other tower. I just sat there with my eyes open, confused, unsure what to think for the moment. I found myself unable to get up for anything at all, wanting to find out what would happen next. I kept on switching between the many news channels just trying to find the one with the most recent live footage because I noticed that some were either 10 to 20 seconds behind. For the next 20 minutes I heard less and less cars being driven by until it finally became very quiet outside. Even the music from next door had been turned off. I even poked my head outside just look around and it was just deathly quiet except for the occasional car that would pass by. Heck even the skies were silent but I had no idea that by this time all the airplanes had been ordered to land. I actually stood there for a moment and thought to myself, So this is what it was like before airplanes were around. It was almost unsettling feeling so I head back inside and continued to watch. I felt hungry but I ignored my stomach because I wanted to see what else happened. The news had switched for a moment to look at the Pentagon that had also been hit by an airplane. At this point I felt a sickening feeling in my stomach, only guessing the possibility of how many planes had been hijacked and turned onto flying weapons. By 9:59 am, seeing the second WTC collapse, I was overwhelmed with sadness. I didn't cry heavily but rather lightly, feeling sad for all those people that were either trapped in the tower, or still trying to evacuate. By the time the other Tower had collapsed, I didn't know what to think. I stopped crying at this point and felt much anger towards the ones who did this. I may not have known any of the people who worked in the Twin Towers but damn it, killing someone for such beliefs was stupid. I felt rather dizzy at this point, realizing I was hungry and went ahead to make breakfast while listening to the news. For the rest of the day I sat in front of the tv, watching the rest of the outcome. I imagined this is what people must've felt back when either JFK was assassinated or when the attack of Pearl Harbor happened. It is true that when something momentous happens, you will remember that day vividly for the rest of your life. I was only 22 years old at the time and sure enough I will be remembering it for decades to come.
I felt the need to share this and I honestly don't remember if I did before or not here on FA. Do YOU still remember exactly what you did on that day? What was your reaction? How did you feel?
I am thinking of streaming a video made by HBO that was done by 2002 and released in Spring of that year. It is called "In Memoriam - New York City 9/11/01". This is NOT a movie or anything that was done with dramatics. This was all done by using News and civilian footage, capturing what happened that day and the emotions of the people. It does not cover anything else as it is only focused on what happened in NYC, the Twin Towers, and the people's emotions. It is a strong and graphic video. If some of you want to see it, let me know and I will stream it. I gain nothing from this but just to remember what happened that day. It is the most documented event in history.

Turret Opera / Cara Mia (Portal 2) - A Cappella
Posted 14 years agoPlaying Portal 2 was damned fun. Its funny that when I got to the end, my reaction was, "OH shit Turrets... I'm dead." After hearing them sing and being able to reach the surface, I was almost ready to cry to think this was the ending. I didn't think this feeling could be repeated and yet here is a video done by a group at A Cappella Records that has revived that nice feeling. I think it was done very nicely.
BOOBEES!!!
Posted 14 years agoNo I don't live in the UK, although I kinda wish I did. Anyway, here is a video from Ashens, who I subscribe to on Youtube, is a damn awesome guy who buys ripoff toys and gadgets and reviews them. So without further delay... BOOBEES!!! :D
Oh and make sure to still around for the Natural Energy drink at the end of the video that we will NEVER see here in the States. xD

ANTHRO MORPHIN TIME! Really...?
Posted 14 years agoThe first words that pretty much sum it up on this video is, "Oh god..." I admit its neat and funny but just plain silly. This was at the Anthrocon of 2011. I know I've said this before but I prefer the Super Sentai counterparts instead. ;)
FINALLY! SOMEONE Speaks up about the TSA!!!
Posted 14 years agoDon't get me wrong. I do want to fly safe and the TSA is a good thing to have but to have random pat downs on people? How many terrorists has the TSA caught by doing this? None... How many civilians did they piss off? Thousands if not hundreds. I agree with this guy that there are better ways to do things and do research.
"It makes me think you're clueless, if you think she's going to attack our country and that you're not doing your research on the people who want to attack our country... I think you ought to get rid of the random pat-downs. The American public is unhappy with them, they're unhappy with the invasiveness of them. The Internet is full of jokes about the invasiveness of the pat-down searches and we ought to just consider, is this what we're willing to do."
