 Let’s be honest, no one loves us more than ourselves. We think we are great, superb, fantastic… so much so that we would love to have another version of us to hang out with, even if it didn’t talk, we’re still fabulous. …
We sure love t-shirts even when it is cold and rainy outside, even underneath those winter jackets that we haul out after months of their hibernation. T-Shirts can be awesome when expressing our thoughts without having to say a word or in this case become a dual duty t-shirt. …
As images keep dominating the web through various uploads of personal photos on social sites like Facebook or Instagram to social image bookmarking sites like Pinterest. We love sharing our interests. As much as we love sharing, we love learning and the faster the better. That is why visual data such as infographics have been such a popular source to gain knowledge from with little to no hassle of retaining it within our minds. People naturally associate images better with words and are able to remember visually more so than without images, it is why brands have logo’s and profiles have avatars….
The plants fought back in The Happening. A mythical world under swimming pool threatened to destroy humanity in Lady in the Water. Now, “everything on this planet has evolved to kill humans” in the upcoming After Earth. After a skyrocketing career turned into a promising career, only to be replaced by a plummeting career followed by a joke of a career, Shyamalan takes his story off the planet, only to return right back to it in the future. If that isn’t confusing enough, just watch The Village and it may all make more sense. Fortunately, he’s teaming up with some extra sci-fi star power in Will Smith…
It’s said that most jokes made by politicians have a touch of reality hidden beneath. Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedec told a whopper of a joke on air the other day and the details have some questioning whether the references weren’t at least partially factual. At first, he gives a detailed explanation of how Russian Presidents exchange the top secret documents at the changing of the guard. One folder included is devoted to “the strangers who visited our planet.” It is enthralling and to those who believe in aliens living among us, it might seem completely plausible. Then, he delivers the…
Grumpy Cat has been seen on almost if not all of our devices that we have connected to the Internet. This kitty is currently the ruler of all cats and has taken over the web with her fearless grumpy facial expression. Although her mood is always sour, she puts a smile on all of our faces. …
Defamation. Freedom of speech. Honesty and transparency versus lies and coverups. These and other gray matters are all in play in a $750,000 lawsuit filed by a Virginia contractor against a former customer who left a scathing review on review sites Yelp and Angie’s List. If it gets settled in court, the ramifications will be felt by both the review industry as well as millions of small businesses around the country. If Christopher Dietz, owner of Dietz Development LLC, wins the lawsuit, many consumers will become fearful of posting reviews that call out businesses. If Jane Perez, the woman who…
Between a BBC experiment and and anecdote from Francis Galton from a 1906 county fair, there is definitely a possibility that the wisdom of the crowd works well when it comes to making guesses. First, the county fair. An ox was on display and was the subject of a guessing contest. Whoever got closest to guessing the weight of the ox would get the slaughtered meat, a tremendous prize worth trying for today, let alone 100 years ago. While nobody got the weight right, when the guesses were averaged, they nailed it. When I watched the video below, my first thought was that had the silly person who guessed…
We published an interesting fan-made teaser trailer the other day for the upcoming Star Trek Into Darkness movie. Shortly after posting it, the official teaser for the movie was released. Now, word is coming from Japan that the same teaser trailer had one additional scene added to it that was excluded from the North American teaser release. First, we’ll show you the teaser itself. If you’re interested in the scene that was excluded, scroll below the video for a description and image from the Japanese teaser. ***SPOILER IMAGE AND DESCRIPTION BELOW*** ***STOP SCROLLING IF YOU DON’T…
These days when creating an advertisement your best bet at success in gaining the attention of the viewers is by tapping into their emotional chest; building a storyline that people can relate to, that is creative and ultimately makes the viewer believe in your product is not solely based anymore on what the product is but a clever display of how the product will make you feel. …
One of the things that Americans take pride in is the way that the country and its people are technologically advanced when compared to the rest of the world. Many of us have smartphones, tablets, computers, cars, and other advanced gadgets and gizmos that keep us occupied and often informed. This does not, however, translate very well in the political arena. A year ago, most would have thought that there was no way that California could possibly vote against Proposition 37. In a state that is generally so liberal and whose people strongly condone healthy eating habits, it wouldn’t be possible…
You may notice a drop in your Pinterest followers today. Don’t worry – your popularity level hasn’t fallen. It’s just the spammers and bots that Pinterest is targeting, so the “loss” of followers won’t really be a loss at all. In fact, Pinterest estimates that 99% of users will only lose around 10 followers. It’s the bigger accounts that are going to be hit the hardest, but they won’t suffer at all in the engagement arena. Spam and bot accounts are the types that don’t really interact with you anyway so the drop is only going to sting a little in the pride department. For those who have purchased followers…
