Hilarious Logo Fails

The Computer Doctor

This makes us think of the guys who come do house calls to repair computers in the VHS movies you 'found' in your dad's sock drawer . . . Maybe this is intentional, they know what most people use computers for.

The Mouse That Can Float like…

Czech Republic’s capital ‘Prague’ designing studio KibardinDesign has made very unique wireless mouse. The name of this mouse is ‘BAT’.

Its height from the pad is 40 mm but when an user hold the mouse the become 10 mm. The mouse is in testing face and soon it will be launch. Your hand will not pain because of its design.
 
Some people are merely far too attached to any scarce illusion whoever authentic lifestyle will never be verified nevertheless like a suspended unfamiliar spaceship popularly mentioned as UFO. I am able to assume that will Vadim Kibardin satisfies the actual stated stereotype because it is newest development is greatly inspired by means of a great not known hurtling thing. Named for the reason that Baseball bat, that computer mouse button floats previously mentioned it is mat whenever eventually left bored.
The trick hot sauce recipe involving the very expensive peripheral is for the magnet process included in both the mat plus the computer mouse button. This specific process prevents the actual computer mouse button coming from laying for the mat surface while also training this stably for the oxygen. The item may possibly not have the same intelligent performance including Self confidence! Smart mouse, but for geeks, nothing at all defeats it is advanced neatness.
In any case, the actual author of the Baseball bat doesn’t pattern that contraption just by flaunt. It truly is used to serve a purpose which often, in this case, is pretty unpredictable  According to Kibardin Design, that computer mouse button is supposed to ease the actual numbness caused by carpal canal affliction. It’s an ailment commonly endured by means of serious players as well as laptop or computer consumers as well. The actual induce will be the damaged lack of feeling for the wrist that’s made worse because of the force made by the actual excess weight of this hands plus the difficult surface of the workplace.

Dining Pod For Family

What a concept?


Sitting down at the table over dinner has always been one of the best ways for the family to bond and connect. Turkish designer ‘Fatih Can Sar?öz ‘ revived the concept of dinning with a fresh and very creative design of dining table. Named Kure, this dinning is designed like flower that opens up to a full-fledged dinning table shaped as a sphere when closed, main concept for designing this is for reducing space in home. It can occupy any corner of the house. Fitted with light source in the center, the base too glows with blue light. The pod like form accommodates six dinning chairs which can also be used otherwise.

Usability:

The pod-like type serves six dinning seats which can also also be used otherwise. An substitute set of furnishings that is designed to carry everyone members together at meals, Kure does not really help to preserve area. The area seems to take up almost equivalent space when shut or in use.

Technology History Facts


Fact 1: The first hard drive by IBM
The first hard drive was made by IBM in 1956 and was called IBM Model 350 Disk File. The first-generation storage unit was huge, with a cabinet the size of a cupboard that held 50 24-inch disks and held an impressive 5MB of data.

Fact 2: RadioShack
RadioShack was one of the first companies to start the PC revolution in the mid 70′s with its TRS-80.
What most people don’t know is that RadioShack used to be called “Tandy Radio Shack & Leather” after it was acquired by Tandy, a leather goods company, in 1963.

Fact 3: The first palmtop computer
The Atari Portfolio was released in 1989 and was the world’s first palmtop computer. Two years later it appeared in the film Terminator 2, where it was used by John Connor to hack an ATM and retrieve the key to the vault in the Cyberdyne lab.

Fact 4: The first mouse
Many think the first mouse was invented in 1970 at Xerox PARC. However, the first mouse was invented by Douglas Engelbart in 1963. It was a wooden shell with two metal wheels.

This fact was suggested by Tiarnan Branson.

Fact 5: The digital circuit
Claude Shannon, the “Father of information theory”, invented the digital circuit when he was only 21, during his master’s degree.
Shannon loved inventions – check out his “Ultimate Machine“. When you turn on the switch, an arm pops out and turns it back off.

Fact 6: The Apolo 11 computers
How powerful were the computers that took us to the moon? Turns out that the Apolo 11 computers had less processing power than a modern cellphone!

There is a $300,000 watch that doesn't tell time!

In 2008, Swiss watchmaker Romain Jerome launched the "Day&Night" watch. The watch doesn't tell time in the traditional sense. There is no minute or hour hand. Instead it simply tells the wearer whether it is day or night. Apparently, the watch wearers cannot tell that by themselves.
The Day&Night watch features two tourbillions—devices that overcome the ill effects of gravity on a watch's accuracy. The day one works for 12 hours during daylight. This symbolizes when an individual is working. The night tourbillion then takes over for the next 12 hours to represent the dark, individual time hours.
The watch is made with steel taken from the sunken Titanic and with parts taken from the shipyard where the doomed ship was built. This watch that doesn't tell time sold for $300,000 and the makers reasoned that anyone could make a watch that tells time in the traditional sense. This watch, however, represents the luxury of time and not being able to buy it.
The Day&Night watch sold out within 48 hours.

 

MIT has built a robot that can assemble IKEA furniture on its own!

Roboticists at MIT have created a robot that can put a flat-pack IKEA furniture together all by itself. It has a specialized gripper hand that can grab the pieces and put the product together with no human help.
All humans need to do is feed the robot a CAD file that describes the product (eg. How many pieces, what do they look like, where the screw holes are, etc). They do not need to be instructed how to do it. Just from knowing what the parts look like, their software can decipher how something needs to be put together.
Check out a video of the robot below.

 

Volkswagen made a car that had fuel efficiency of 235 miles per gallon!

Volkswagen is a car manufacturing company from Germany, famously producing the Volkswagen Beetle, or as you may know it, the Punch Buggy. Besides making cars that are destined to create a punching war among friends and family, Volkswagen has produced a car named the L1, or rather 'the 1-litre car'.
On a single tank of diesel fuel, the car is able to drive 100km, which is an incredibly fuel efficient turn around. Don't worry, the car is completely road safe and up to all the necessary qualifications the vehicle needs to drive on the road legally.
The reason the car can get so far on such little fuel, is through a combination of elements that make up the car. The car is made of lightweight materials, designed with a streamlined body, and with an engine and transmission designed and tuned for someone who's looking to drive cheap.

 

Finding Hard To Recall Your Dreams? Now Simply Record Them!

Wouldn’t it be nice if someone could record your dreams, your fantasies and superb ideas that strike your sub-conscious mind? Your wish would soon be fulfilled. According to a new research, we can now record our dreams and thoughts that come in our sub-conscious mind. Scientists believe that development in this technology would allow us to read others’ thoughts too.

Three (3) researchers from university of California, Berkeley participated in this experiment. They entered a functional MRI (Magnetic Resource Imaging) system.These three subjects were made to watch two different Hollywood movies trailers while the machine recorded their blood flow through the brain’s visual cortex, the part of the brain that process visual information.

The readings of the machine were fed as input to a computer program which converted these readings into three-dimensional volumetric pixels called voxels. The brain signals generated by moving pictures are decoded by this process. In this experiment, a computer program was made that learnt the association of brain activity with the visual patterns in the movie while the subjects watched the first set of clips. Then the other set of clips tested the movie reconstruction algorithm. This computer program was made to analyze 18 million seconds of random YouTube videos. Thus a huge database was created for the potential brain activity. From this huge database, the computer program selected the one hundred clips that were almost similar to the ones watched by the subjects.

This computer program mimics our brain. When we see a yellow flower, our brain tries to match this yellow color with the different shades of yellow color available in our memory. Similarly this computer program compares the brain reactions with the huge database of 18- million-second videos and picks up the clips that are most similar to the brain reactions. These clips are then merged into a video. This new video is almost similar to the original video clip that the subjects watched. Thus, bigger the database of videos repositories and higher the computing power, the better would be the results.

This experiment is being considered as a major break-through in the history of computer science and biology. The neuroscientist Jack Gallant rightly stated “We are opening a window into the movies in our minds." Scientists are also speculating that in coming decades, we would even be able to read each other’s minds.
