True, true ...

MacBook Wheel.

Because many out there still don`t know about one of Apple`s inventions from 2009, i figured we need to see it.
So, now you can take your keyboard to the junkyard and replace it with your brand new wheel.
Yes, a wheel. You will have to say goodbye to the keyboard and say hello to the future of laptop computers - MacBook Wheel.

Now let`s see you press ALT+CTRL+DEL on the wheel :D

p.s. Is it correct if we say that Apple invented the Wheel? :D

What is your choice?

Hello.
Happy to see you here. If you are a man even better. Be a MAN ;) and make a choice.

What is your choice?

What the fuck???

A couple of
What The Fuck...... ????

Love ya baby.

Your mother`s so fat, her tits fell down from the bench.

TMNT - they are black :D

H2O: Dangerous Chemical!

H₂O: Dangerous Chemical!

A student at Eagle Rock Junior High won first prize at the Greater Idaho Falls Science Fair, April 26. He was attempting to show how conditioned we have become to alarmists practicing junk science and spreading fear of everything in our environment. In his project he urged people to sign a petition demanding strict control or total elimination of the chemical "dihydrogen monoxide."

And for plenty of good reasons, since:

it can cause excessive sweating and vomiting

it is a major component in acid rain

it can cause severe burns in its gaseous state

accidental inhalation can kill you

it contributes to erosion

it decreases effectiveness of automobile brakes

it has been found in tumors of terminal cancer patients

The Horror Must Be Stopped!

The American government has refused to ban the production, distribution, or use of this damaging chemical due to its "importance to the economic health of this nation." In fact, the Navy and other military organizations are conducting experiments with DHMO, and designing multi-billion dollar devices to control and utilize it during warfare situations. Hundreds of military research facilities receive millions of tons of pure DHMO through a highly sophisticated underground distribution network daily. Many facilities store large quantities for later use. Many municipalities also have DHMO storage facilities.

It's Not Too Late!

Act NOW to prevent further contamination . Find out more about this dangerous chemical. What you don't know can hurt you and others throughout the world. Write to your Congress person and Senator. Urge them to Ban Dihydrogen Monoxide NOW! Brought to you by the Coalition to Ban DHMO: http://BanDHMO.org.

He asked 50 people if they supported a ban of the chemical.

Forty-three (43) said yes,

six (6) were undecided,

and only one (1) knew that the chemical was water.

"How Gullible Are We?" was the title of his prize winning project ,

The conclusion is obvious.

The relevance is: Even facts can mislead. They can do that accidentally, or purposefully, depending on who is presenting them. Though all of these facts about water are true, it neglects to include other facts, such as how every human being needs it to survive.

This is why it's always important to listen to every side of an argument in order to make an informed decision.

Wikipedia has something about it too.

RSA Animate - Drive: The surprising truth about what motivates us

I found this video on CognitiveMedia.

This video is really interesting for two reasons:
- first, it's a hand-drawn animation that evolves in front of your eyes, and makes it easy to understand the ideea
- and second, it explains why "scientists" like to write about science and work for it in their free time - for free! This fascinating video illustrates the hidden truths behind what really motivates us at home and in the workplace.

Top 10 Supercomputers

Statistics on high-performance computers are of major interest to manufacturers, users, and potential users. These people wish to know not only the number of systems installed, but also the location of the various supercomputers within the high-performance computing community and the applications for which a computer system is being used.

Such statistics can facilitate the establishment of collaborations, the exchange of data and software, and provide a better understanding of the high-performance computer market.
