SUPER SIGHT SUN GLASSES?... CHECK

My friend David Resto sent me this link on myspace... n hell.. this is some super krazy shit... specially for that dude.. since hes a biker n all that..

Nike Hindsight is, put simply, like giving bicyclists a pair of bifocals for their peripheral vision. By using Fresnel lenses on the sides of eye wear, riders can detect motion in a field of view beyond the normal human limit of 180º. To get technical, high power, diverging Fresnel zones aligned vertically distort into view an extra 25º of view on either side. In doing this, vision is radically distorted in the periphery, but as the eye detects only motion in that area, little clarity is lost in the process.

A rider’s clear benefit is in the early warning of approaching vehicles, but a less obvious advantage is reducing the necessary head rotation to check completely behind oneself. Moreover, while the project was directed towards bicycling for the sake of simplicity, there’s a myriad of sports and activities where a greater field of view becomes an advantage, so feel free to speculate.

On a final note, although only a concept, no element of Hindsight makes use of futuristic nano e-ink robots that will only be available come 2018. It is, at its core, a pair of sunglasses and a century old lens technology.

Remember: Concept means these are not real - yet - but I would totally wear these if they were.

NEW TRAILER FOR WATCHMEN..

Watch it here, at Gizmodo.

OH IM VERY PROUD OF MY COUNTRY...

Sri Lanka's government wants to grow its own marijuana. (you are NOT trippin... this is real...THE GOVERMENT GOT ITS OWN WEED... this is f***ing awsome. STONERs... its time u make Sri )

Facing a lack of the fresh weed for use in traditional Ayurvedic medical preparations, the government ministry responsible wants to be excepted from laws that have made marijuana illegal on the Indian Ocean island since the 1890s. (itsss Backk... WILD CARRD B**CHES)


The Ministry of Indigenous Medicine this month broached a plan to grow 4,000 kg (8,818 lb) a year of marijuana, also known as cannabis, on a proposed 20 acre (8 hectares) farm.
"We are interested in getting some approval to grow some cannabis with government sponsorship, but there must be controls. It is under study," Asoka Malimage, secretary at the Ministry of Indigenous Medicine, told Reuters Thursday.
Ayurveda is a traditional medicine with roots in the early Hindu era which makes wide use of herbs and natural remedies with the goal of healing the body and mind. In Sri Lanka, ayurveda practitioners outnumber Western-trained doctors.
Fresh marijuana fried in ghee, a form of clarified butter, is used in about 18 different traditional medicines for treating a wide variety of ailments, Malimage said.
"At the moment they are getting some stocks from the courts of law, because there are people who grow this cannabis illegally and they have been raided by the police," Malimage said.
But the problem with that weed is that it is old and dried out, said Dr. Dayangani Senasekara, head of state-run Bandaranaike Memorial Ayurvedic Research Institute in Colombo.
"You can't get the fresh juice from old cannabis. What we get now is the powdered form and it's not effective," Senasekara said.
The institute is making preparations that use marijuana to treat high cholesterol, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and skin discolorations, and soon will formulate one for treating cataracts, Senasekara said.
The use of marijuana to treat glaucoma, nausea, pain and the loss of appetite from diseases like cancer and AIDS has been the subject of great medical debate in the west.
Some countries and parts of the United States have permitted its use to treat those conditions, after some medical studies showed it was effective.

MICROSOFT'S *BEEP*ING NEW PATENT

Those b#$*@*%s at Microsoft got another patent.

This time it's a patent for blocking out or bleeping words in an audio stream. In the patent description the company notes that "The censored speech can either be stored or made available to an audience in real-time."

Originally filed 4 years ago the company only had the patent approved last week. It's expected Microsoft will use the technology in upcoming versions of Xbox Live where it can filter bad words that people use on its network.

news.com suggests that the technology could be used for more than just censoring profanity, suggesting that perhaps China or another government would want it employed for other phrases, such as Tibet or free speech.

Lol, the minisode coulda used this, I heard a couple things in there... ..that wern't bleeped out.. hehe..

Dangit Microsoft, you ruin everythingg...

CHRIS CORNELLS ALBUM IS SOUNDING SOOO FRESH

This album is a collaboration betweet Chris Cornell and Timbaland.. and Ohhh My GOD... from what i heard so far... this album is pretty much greatness at its outmost.. GREATEST... Timbaland just KILLED it.. (in a very very VERY good way)... this is genious.. im loving the sounds coming out of this record..

With the idea of remixing songs from his previous album Carry On (2007), Cornell first came into contact with Timbaland by the suggestion of his brother-in-law. However, the collaboration evolved into the duo writing and recording an entire album in just six weeks,... (LOL.. seriously thats fuckin krazy) notably with the conceptual direction of "tying it all together musically", which Cornell describes as "[harkening] back to albums that I listened to when I was a kid, where the music never stops" and that it "begs to be listened to on headphones all the way through" ( that iss very true... cant really stop listning to these tracks...

so far theres been 3 singles (some snippets) out on myspace and iTunes... Highly Suggest that u purchase the songs to support the artist but.. ey... heres some links for u die hard fans...

Trust me This is goods stuff

VISTA SP2 OUT BEFORE WINDOWS 7

Hmm.. This is interwesting..

The All About Microsoft blog at CNET hears (and sees) that a second Service Pack for Vista will be released before Windows 7, as a beta has already been released to developers. Could some Windows 7 features end up in Vista SP2? What Vista issues would you hope to see addressed?

Hmm. SP2 already?

MICROSOFT CONFIRMS NAME OF NEXT OPPERATING SYSTEM

Microsoft has confirmed that Windows 7 will be the final name for the next generation operating system.

In a blog, Mike Nash, Corporate Vice President, Windows Product Management confirmed the news.

"Since we began development of the next version of the Windows client operating system we have been referring to it by a codename, "Windows 7." But now is a good time to announce that we've decided to officially call the next version of Windows, "Windows 7" Nash said.

This is the first time a Windows OS has been named by its codename. The decision was made for simplicity. Nash added "this is the seventh release of Windows, so therefore "Windows 7" just makes sense."

Microsoft is set to reveal a lot more about Windows 7 at its professional developers conference which starts on the 27th October. Neowin will be live all week so look out for some great information about the future of Windows right here.

Windows 7, huh? Sounds good.
