When A Guy Does Something Wrong Posted: 12 May 2010 01:00 AM PDT |

Posted: 12 May 2010 12:24 AM PDT Today we found out via Roger 2d code that the Madison Square Garden in New York has placed a 100 feet/30 meters QR-Code advertising the premiere of the movie Great Dino Roar. The code links to the mobile version of the film’s website where you can buy tickets. We can say it more times (since we started this blog the number of results in Google when searching QR-Code has increased from 2M to +27M of results) but the QR-Codes are here, the time is now and everyday will be harder to deny it. If even the dinosaurs have realized and have started to use QR-Codes as an advertising tool, what are you waiting for?

Raptor Hoodie Wants to Eat You Posted: 03 May 2010 05:30 PM PDT ![]() At first glance, this hoodie may appear normal, but cross your arms and the image of a hungry raptor appears. If your child doesn't have a Halloween costume, this just might be the perfect alternative.

Posted: 11 May 2010 07:01 PM PDT “De quanta imaginação não é feita uma vida para se compensar o que se não realizou! Já todos o sabemos e nunca ninguém o sabe. Se fosse coisa de se saber, não havia maníacos da droga, do fumo ou do álcool. Projecta-se milimetricamente uma reacção a ter, uma ofensa a vingar, uma desconsideração a menosprezar, uma conquista a fazer. E sai sempre outra coisa: nem nos vingamos porque se interpôs uma fraqueza, nem menosprezámos a desconsideração porque nos menosprezaram o nosso menosprezo, nem conquistámos nada porque amanhã é que é. Mas falhada a nossa reacção, logo congeminamos de novo efectivá-la e com acréscimo de efeito. Até que o tempo e a morte tudo decidam irremediavelmente por nós. E acabamos por achar que decidiu bem, porque o mais fácil de resolver é sempre o não resolver.” Vergílio Ferreira, in «Conta-Corrente 3»

Cuidado! Os Filmes 3D Engravidam! Posted: 13 May 2010 03:05 AM PDT Regressar do Iraque após um ano de serviço militar e encontrar a esposa com um filho, poderia ser suspeito para muitos.O facto de ambos serem brancos, e o bébé ser de raça negra, poderia também levantar algumas dúvidas... Mas não! A esposa de 38 anos diz que tal só pode ter uma única explicação: ter engravidado por ter assistido a um filme pornográfico em 3D com as suas amigas! Por muito incrível que pareça, é mais incrível que o seu marido tenha tido a seguinte reacção: “Não vejo porque desconfiar dela. Os filmes em 3D são muito reais. Com a tecnologia de hoje tudo é possível” E sendo isto passado nos EUA, a mulher diz que vai processar o cinema e os produtores do filme. Ora toma! (E interrogo-me porque motivo as suas amigas não engravidaram a ver o mesmo"filme"... talvez tivessem colocado preservativos nos óculos 3D?) Com os milhões de espectadores que o Avatar teve, daqui por uns meses deveremos começar a assistir a um afluxo de bebés azuis... Vai ser bonito vai... [via iOnline] |

Posted: 13 May 2010 06:43 AM PDT Ao ver um filme como Iron Man 2, é fácil sermos transportados "lá para dentro", e esquecer que em praticamente todas as cenas a magia dos efeitos especiais torna possíveis coisas que parecem reais... mas não o são.
Nada como visitar a Perception, companhia que torna realidade alguns dos espantosos gadgets de Tony Stark, para vermos até que ponto a realidade ainda está bem distante da ficção. :) |

I’ve always enjoyed big, ambitious and sometimes slightly bizarre projects. For instance, you might remember a few years back when a bunch of Googlers and I ordered a quarter-ton of Silly Putty for the fun of it. More recently, I had the thought that it would be neat to create a “real” photomosaic — that is, not a poster where you have many tiny, postage-stamp-sized images playing the role of the “tiles” that make up a larger image, but a collection of real, high-resolution 4×6 photographs making up a bigger picture. Part of the appeal of this project was that it was complicated. First, in order to have enough “tiles” to make the underlying image clear, I knew we’d need a really, really large wall. Second, for you to be able to appreciate both the underlying image and the individual tiles, you’d have to be able to see the mosaic from a large distance (so the tiles blend to create the larger image), and also be able to walk right up to it to look at individual photographs. So the wall would have to be at the end of a long hallway. Third, if you can inspect individual images, then those images would have to be nice, crisp, high-resolution photographs. So I’d have to amass a whole bunch of really high-resolution photos directly from good photographers, and I’d have to figure out exactly where to place all those photos within the image. And finally, I knew I’d need a lot of people to help glue all the photos! Fortunately, working at Google puts me in a position where these things are possible: we had a giant open wall at the end of a hallway in our London offices; two dozen avid Google photographers uploaded 5,000 photos to use as the tiles (using Picasa, of course); and everyone I talked to about the project said, “That’s neat! How can I help?” So last week, a group of friends, fellow Googlers and I completed our project: a giant Google logo (and yes, it’s the new logo) made out of 884 individually printed 4×6 photographs of people, places and things around the U.K. We were all really pleased with the result, and it’s best viewed in person. Seeing it from 100 feet away, taking it in clearly as the Google logo, and then walking right up to it to inspect the details of individual images is very cool. But for anyone not in London, here’s an attempt to recreate that experience: ![]() The full mosaic ![]() Zoomed in on the right of the yellow "o" and the left of the lowercase "g". ![]() Zoomed in to an individual photo. We also took a time-lapse video of the construction process, which started in the evening and went late into the night. (The later it got, the hazier we felt — not because of the hour, but because of all of the fumes from the rubber cement!) The camera took a shot every seven seconds, so about 5.5 hours of work are compressed to a bit over a minute here. The video is best seen in full screen HD so you can see the individual photos as they go up: Posted by Clay Bavor, Group Product Manager |
