If you are looking to catch up on any of the most popular videos that broadcasted on YouTube or are looking to revisit which top videos made the top YouTube list of 2012, you have to look no further then YouTube itself. …
Usually, the folks over at Minute Physics put out some pretty thought-provoking information in their series of quick scientific videos. In this case, the science applied is relatively worthless, but that doesn’t make it any less cool. Mythbusters tackled the question of whether or not you stay most dry (or rather, least wet) by walking or running in the rain. The thought is that by walking, you are not crashing into as many drops of rain as you would be when running, but you’ll be exposed to it for a longer period of time. In their test, they initially concluded that walking was better, but then corrected…
It is the eve to what the Mayans have stated will be the end of the world tomorrow; do you believe this to be true? I am not sure if I should laugh at the theory or stock up on cans of beans and build a make-shift shelter in the basement in case it happens and I do survive. I have always been fascinated in the way Hollywood makes the end of the world look on the big screen and have often wondered if that is what it would look like, but then again, I guess I wouldn’t be around to see it now would I? …
Swedish homes are known for their stylish simplicity, where the interior is glamorous and fashionably desired. This still remains true for one family in Sweden who decided to go even simpler with an L-shaped home. …
Making snowflakes as a kid is one of the best memories I have as a tradition during the Holiday Season, I like being crafty and making any type of art that I can hang puts a smile on my face. That is why learning how I can turn what use to be an ordinary snowflake into one that replicates that of a Star Wars character or figure is one craft I am yearning to learn. …
Just when you think you have seen it all, you find a Facebook page that is solely dedicated to making origami of Star Wars figures. Then you find out that there is a website…let’s just say the world better not end on Friday after this latest discovery… I need time! …
Admit it, every once and a while you like to put words in the mouths of your favorite actors. Perhaps you have even tried it by putting the movie on mute and having you and your friends make up a story as it goes along. It is fun and funny. It’s even funnier when you take clips of a movie and record the lip read, it actually looks like they are saying what you said. BadLipReading on YouTube does this quite often and most recently did a lip reading for the popular movie The Hunger Games. …
Those who follow my writing know that I’m a skeptical, cynical conspiracy theorist who thinks that governments, companies, and entities we don’t even know about are all out to get us. I promote privacy, transparency, security, and an open internet free of nearly all forms of censorship. I believe that most online companies, particularly those associated with social media, will at some point show their true colors and try to use our data and content for profit in one way or another. I call out companies that do this and I try to warn people of the potential evils that can take over actions with even…
On December 12, 2012 the Federal Bureau of Investigations announced a cybercrime bust it had recently executed and credited Facebook’s security team as its primary collaborator. The operation, which culminated in the arrest of 10 suspects, targeted an international assemblage of online offenders that the FBI labeled the ‘Butterfly Botnet.’ This cyber posse allegedly used a destructive breed of Malware, known as ‘Yahos,’ to corrupt 11 million computers and extract $850 million from unwitting victims, according to the FBI. A story like this evokes mixed reactions among…
We have a competitive edge in life, we like to winning, whether it is when we are gaming or when we compete with anyone, including ourselves. We like to have fun and enjoy life to the fullest, sometimes a little too much. It most certainly shows in the car we drive, even if it is not a hot Ferrari, we have made it look pretty epic. …
I had thought the days were behind us. Call it a hope, but I believed that the majority of businesses who were active on social media had pushed beyond the plague that once filled our feeds – the worthless post. I was wrong. It was while auditing an account that followed numerous car dealers on both Twitter and Facebook that I came across the reality of the situation. There are still plenty – over half from the sampling of several hundred that I examined – that were posting the type of “content” on social media that drives people to unfollow, block, or simply ignore them. Recently I’ve been posting some…
Do you ever wonder what your furry friend does when you are not home? Some have nanny cams for their kids or for protection to view security. It is pretty neat to catch your pooch playing with your festive decorations after you leave your home. …
