Escher´s waterfall. Real or not?
12:10 PM

Escher´s waterfall depicts a seeming paradox where water from the base of a waterfall seems to run uphill prior to hitting the top of the waterfall.
Although most 2D artists use relative symmetries to create an illusion of depth, Escher exercises contradictory symmetries to create the visual paradox. Waterfall has the structure of a Penrose triangle, an unacceptable object planned independently by Roger Penrose and Oscar Reutersvärd.

Google Nexus S vs Apple iPhone 4

This is an extended comparison between Google Nexus S and iPhone 4 via PhoneArena.
It was hard to miss the WVGA video recording capability of Nexus S, compared with the 720p video recording of the iPhone. Apple's FaceTime app is better than any video call software provided by Android.

Telekinesis is real

Telekinesis is no longer a Sci-Fi or Paranormal subject. Right now, people all over the world are moving objects with their mind with the help of technology. Brain-computer interfaces are here, enabling neuro-prosthetics, brain-powered wheelchairs, and even thought-controlled pinball machines. The trouble is that using brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) requires a huge amount of concentration and it's hard to use it more than an hour. At present a research group at the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland is doing work to clear this trouble, by masterminding BCIs that grant users to breathe their brains--and even to multitask.
Another team of computer scientists from Germany made possible for a car to be driven only with the power of thoughts. The driver is equipped with EEG sensors connected to a computer. The computer picks the driver's intention to steer left or right, and executes it. Although this is only a demonstration, it's amazing how far science has gone...

Do you remember the original GameBoy? That was a massive success. Did you know it had a CPU of 8-bit Z80 CMOS (4.19MHz) and 8KB of ram? Man that was a blast. I still remember me playing Tetris on that amazing mobile gaming platform. Right now I can play tons of games on my iPhone 4, or my PSP.

Kinect with Windows Phone 7 (video)

This is a demo straight from Microsoft letting us know that big things are coming in the future. You can see Windows Phone 7 connected directly to your Kinect. This comes shorty after Nokia and Microsoft just tied an agreement, meaning Microsoft is ready to take over the phone market. If this would be available to the general public, it would increase the numbers of Kinect players that are able to play in the same time.
Computers: From 1939 to 2010 [Infographic]

Computers have come a long way since 1939. When I was young Commodore 64 was still the best thing on the market. My father took me to his job once, and showed me the greatest computer ever build. It was so big, enough to have a room just for it. And storage capacity of 100mb. I was so amazed. This was in 1990. Right now I have an Intel Core i5 that is so fast, people from that time line would never believe it fits in my backpack.
