The pic that started all this

What amazing news to hear, even if it’s fake. How awesome would that be? Finding Atlantis on Google Earth?Reading the newspaper with a big first page: Atlantis was finally found!

This is a recent story that Google is trying to deny after someone (probably a geek) found on Google Earth a strange image of what appears to be underwater remains of a city .

Everybody was getting all hyped up about this, even The Telegraph released this story and the exact
coordinates of the place:
31 15’15.53N, 24 15’30.53W

You can see the map location on the following image:

Unfortunately Google has come to spoil it for everyone, so they gave their explanation:
“It’s true that many amazing discoveries have been made in Google Earth, including a pristine forest in Mozambique that is home to previously unknown species and the remains of an ancient Roman villa,” a statement from Google read. “In this case, however, what users are seeing is an artifact of the data collection process. Bathymetric (or sea floor terrain) data is often collected from boats using sonar to take measurements of the sea floor. The lines reflect the path of the boat as it gathers the data.”

Please open the gates of the jails of Conspiracy Theory Lovers, and let them handle this situation and see the crazy stories that come up about it.Fresh exciting material to get conspiracies going.

This all idea sounds all too good to be true, but sure it would be fun

A day of air traffic in just 72 seconds

Have you ever wondered how many airplanes are in the sky right now? I did, and i sure know they’re a lot, but it’s strange to see all the commercial flights of one day in just 72 seconds. It sure doesn’t seem very useful to anything but it’s cool to look at.
This simulation video was done by a group of scientists from Zurich School of Applied Sciences that were quite surprised with how easy it was doing it and why nobody did it beforehand.

To explain the difference between cpu and gpu Mythbusters painted Mona lisa using some machine shooting paintball. I enjoyed the vivid colours in the replay part.

NeoCube – The New “Rubik’s” Cube

admin — Fri, 02 May 2008 17:09:23 +0000

This is one toy i believe it’s gonna be a huge success. Some people call it the rubik’s cube successor although it doesn’t have much to do with it. Because this is really awesome even if you don’t want to crack your brain, there is no final solution to it only hundreds of forms to make. It seems that is only available on the official site on Neocube, the price is 36 dolars. I’m surely getting one to play with…

The NeoCube is composed of 216 individual high-energy sphere magnets, which can be formed into BILLIONS of shapes and patterns.
