Now this will shut those tree hugger up!

SSC is coming out with a new hybrid supercar (lol toyota) that features a breakthrough drive train that will- get this - require charging only every couple of years. You might literally forget where the refilling station is.

Now you can easily pass this off as fluff, especially because this manufacturer is not known in the mainstream, but they make good supercars from 1337 engineering skillz.
Whether they come out with a car that actually does exactly what they say it would, doesn't concern me too much.
The fact that a company that has been so stubbornly private-owned, has opened itself up to very selective exterior capital funding just so that it could come up with this drivetrain and put itself on the line just for this car makes it all that much more probable.

Really, if they fail at making this drive train, or just don't attempt to make it, they're going to disappear either way

Time to rewatch Aliens 2 and The terminator series

The sensitivity to strength switch is just stunning.
Scalability, upgradeability is stunning.

Remember T9? that was so pre-touchscreen

Inventor of T9 comes up with new text input method. - The main itch in smaller devices.
Here is a feature list.

here is IBM's research on the same

Expanding:

The following factors make shape writing particularly powerful.

Efficiency: Rather than articulating one letter at a time (longhand), shape writing allows the user to write word level sokgraphs ­ a form of shorthand.

Human sensitivity to geometric patterns: A person’s ability to recognize, memorize and draw patterns is remarkable. Shape writing capitalizes on this remarkable human capability. Drawing patterns with a stylus is fluid, dexterous and fun.

Intelligent pattern recognition: ShapeWriter is "intelligent". The number of legitimate words (ranging from thousands to tens of thousands in a lexicon) is only a fraction of the number of all letter permutations (tens of millions). ShapeWriter takes advantage of the regularities of words formation and recognizes user's ink trace on keyboard with maximum flexibility and error tolerance. An intended word can still be recognized although irrelevant letters between intended letters are crossed or even if some of the letters in a word are missed in the stylus trace.

Ease of learning: Shape writing bridges initial ease of use with eventual high performance by embedding learning in use. In psychology terms, for initial ease of use, the user interface needs to be recognition-based – action by visual guidance. To reach high performance, however, the user interface should support recall-based skills. In shape writing, these two modes are gradually connected. One shifts from recognition to recall over time. The graphical keyboard serves as a visual map and a training wheel from careful visual tracing towards a fluid form of shorthand writing.

Ease of error correction: Underneath each word in ShapeWriter's text stream editor is a list of probable alternative words that can be selected with one additional pen stroke. One can also delete or insert words anywhere in the text stream editor.

Work put into f1

better with videos i say:

When onboard video technology was still in its infancy: Senna at monaco. Makes for a more immersive view of speed.

Telemarketers!

Its hard to come up with ways to deal with telemarketers. It takes a lot more creative dedication to make fun of this sorry lot. But one man, has taken it upon himself to mess with these genetic retards!
I've seen many prank calls on telemarketers, i've seen many pranksters fail. But Tom Mabe manages to pull it off. Very well indeed.
Tom Mabe is awesome
Tom Mabe is super Awesomer

Indy Jonesy and The crystal balls.

Pictures:
1. Thats the amazingly evil bad person.
2. What amazing stunts. really.
3.You see those two guys with AUTOMATIC rifles (actually three in jeep)? Thats about a couple of feet away from his balls. Three guns and they miss, not just Indiana jones, but nobody gets shot. beauty



When i saw the trailer for the new movie, i naively had hope, that maybe Spielberg and Lucas, with all that time and money on their hands, along with the massive investments they've made on their new graphics studios will come up with something current, something that shares traits with the originals while still being progressive.

The movie turns out to be a ridiculous excuse for an adventure movie, with some very soft russian soldiers, who can empty a whole cartridge at point blank range and yet somehow manage to miss a very slow moving 80 year old fart.
They had riddles in the fucking movie! clues! and not of 'da vinci code' caliber even - think blue's clues. How can you get enough of the elaborately setup moving doors and traps deep in the middle of ruins, cheaply ornamented and eventually and always destroyed with these idiots sadly getting out just in the nick of time ?

How about a five minute long sword fighting scene on a fucking car when they have a gun holstered safely in the back? Does that lick your fancy? Then you will enjoy the pause in each fight scene long enough for the old man to catch his breath and throw out an awesome smart ass comment, before he ends that kindly soldiers life.
A few other things:
How can someone survive a nuclear blast in a fucking fridge?
How can anyone survive a car landing on their head?
How can you fall off THREE massive waterfalls in a car and not break something or get sucked in the torrent?
I guess waterfalls are gentle wonders of nature that gently carry you to the surface and to the bank.
More importantly, how can someone swing across banyan tree branches when the branches are hanging VERTICALLY?! Think about the physics of that.
Oh and the end of the movie! a fucking alien forms together and the entire city becomes a space ship and flies away. Next scene: Jonesy breaks the plot down for the audience in one sentence. And then the end. Not even fucking kidding.

How hard can it be to make a classic movie series cool and current? Watch batman begins and compare it to the old movies you'll see what i mean. If they can do it, i'm sure stevie and georgie can manage it. Or maybe they're getting too old. Dicks.

Stephen colbert, and insight.

If you have a penis, watch this movie, if you don't watch it anyway

This is the manliest man movie ever man-made.

The plot sets up this movie to be a one and a half hour fun ride like no other.

Hell's Yeah! This shit might just be back!

Oh Hi!

Oh snap!

A Paris Hilton type Dilemma

Currently still excelling at being a dumb blonde stuck between two of her cars. A ferrari and a mclaren merc SLR..... which she had acquired after she crashed her bentley.

Sheesh. Somebody just shoot her already.

Boost is the secret of my energy!... our...

All those crazy star wars movies had atleast something right. Come to think of it, even in the matrix, the core of the plot was the harvesting of energy. In the future we are going to have enough energy. A source/sources of boundless energy, enough for a heated massage chair for every rabbit on the planet.
Right now we have the shittest forms of energy possible. And this requires you to take this in on a larger scale, probably the perspective of an idiot living on mars and gazing up at the earth.

1. Coal - co2, particulate pollution
2. Fossil Fuels - ferraris, but more co2 and heat.
3. Current Nuclear Technology - 2 weiners
4. Ashish Jain - Lots of masala dosa related H2S and methane emissions, endangers a forms of life in a 10 foot radius ... and the ozone.

Granted there are more sources involved but this makes up 85% (sue me if I am off by 10%) of energy created for human well being. I'll also give your intelligence the benefit of the doubt and as concisely as humanly possible by the will of the holy spirit up high in the sky close to what we know as the milky way which is also a chocolate by the way, say that the sole cause for all that pollution, global warming etc. is energy production and consumption. And I think we're on track to clean limitless energy.

Currently, the biggest harm this planet faces is from this wonderful invention(and I intend no sarcasm) the automobile. Fuck the references, I read it somewhere sometime. So fossil fuels is the focus. And we're running out of it quick (yay!). What are the solutions?
Electricity and Hydrogen are the best of what's out there and possible in the next 30 years. The problem with electricity almost all of it around the world is generated from coal(value addition from the other sources pale in comparison) which generously donates CO2 to the atmosphere.
Hydrogen as per current tests only outputs water as the waste product.

Hydrogen: The major issues right now are setting up of infrastructure anew for producing, distributing and consuming. A newly developing country like ours has a better chance for change than some of the fully developed ones. We're still in the process of setting up new supply lines and distribution centers. Cars using hydrogen already exist from almost every major manufacturer since the 90's. They're set. But production? For the lack of space in this already long winded and boring article, I cannot get into the specifics of how to generate hydrogen, but lets just leave it at being more economical and less polluting.

Electricity: The major problem with electricity is the inefficiencies. The biggest one - storage. We still use these ancient 'chemicals in a tin' boxes that we so fondly call batteries that decay over time and discharge over time. There are a couple of solutions popping up to fix this. A123 is this new outfit company, the 'google' if you will of batteries that has just invented a new kind of Li Ion battery using advanced nanoscale manufacturing that increases efficiency by 60%, drops weight and reduces recharging time by half and at the same time, can make them for cheaper. Imagine faster, more efficient electric cars that can now subsist longer using regenerative braking since the batteries charge faster. Or we just gotta wait till capacitors get cheap enough to use as batteries - they never leak, never lose power and are fool proof.

The Chinese have an ace up their sleeve right now. This is by far one of the most impressive and powerful inventions of this century. They plan to solve their two of their energy problems in one go. They have invented the pebble bed reactor:

How it works:
1. Hot Rocks: Thousands of billiard ball-sized fuel pebbles power the reactor. The balls are coated with impermeable silicon carbide and packed with 15,000 tiny uranium dioxide flecks, each of which is encased in its own silicon carbide shell.
2. Recycling Center: The fuel pebbles cycle through the reactor vessel from top to bottom, heating helium. Pebbles that are still potent return to the top; spent and damaged ones collect at the bottom.
3. Spin Zone: The hot gas flows into the water-cooled conversion unit and pushes the turbine, generating electricity. It then cycles back to the reactor vessel to be reheated.

Why this is so fucking cool:
1. The current stigma associated with nuclear based power is based on the old school reactors which were these huge nuclear rods dipped in not so tasty boiling liquid and enclosed in 4 layers of lead walls which were in place in case the place did.... you guessed it ..... explode. This is impossible to do with a pebble-bed reactor. They are explosion proof!
2. They are tiny and modular. Lets say you wanted to power a city with a traditional nuclear reactor. You'd have to read into the economy and growth levels of the city and plan out the potential energy requirement down the road and then come up with this reactor that must last the city for lets say 100 years. With the pebble bed reactor, just build one for now. When the city grows, build another one beside it, and so on. They're cheap and more importantly very modular.
3. This is the best part: The waste product - HYDROGEN! pure, clean and lots of it!
