japanese reality tv

permalink | cm(0) | tb(0) | links

Nippon Television's (NTV) producers have obviously never heard of the Geneva Convention. If they had, they wouldn't have treated poor Nasubi the way they did. They wouldn't have stripped him naked and shut him in an apartment, alone with no food, furniture, household goods, or entertainment. They wouldn't have kept him there for over a year until he had won $10 000 in prizes by sending in postcards to contests. They wouldn't have cut him off from the world and they would have told him that he was on nation-wide TV.

mp3 goggles

permalink | cm(0) | tb(0) | links

if you're a swimmer, or anything else that requires goggles i guess, and miss your mp3's here's the perfect solution for you.

Student Sam James came up with the idea during his work placement when he was visiting the local swimming pool a lot.

"I got quite bored just swimming up and down," he said.

The music player is integrated into swimming goggles and uses bone conduction to vibrate music direct to the skull.

The sound quality is actually better than in a normal environment because there is no background noise.

if you don't mind music being vibrated directly into your skull.

the matrix reloaded : abridged script

permalink | cm(0) | tb(0) | links

for those of you who were also disappointed with "the matrix reloaded". there are spoilers.

KEANU enters a white room, the walls of which are covered
in monitors. A chair spins around to reveal THE EXPLAINER.

KEANU REEVES
Who are you?

THE EXPLAINER
I am The Explainer. I designed the
matrix screenplay. Unable to
decently explain the convoluted plot
well, I have resorted to putting
myself here in the final act and
having you ask all of the questions
the audience wants to ask.
(dramatic pause)
You must begin by asking your own
questions then gradually switch to
asking those of the audience, in
order to not make this scene any
more awkward than it already is.
Concordantly, while your first
question may be the most pertinent,
you may or may not realize it is
also the most irrelevant.

stun jacket

permalink | cm(0) | tb(0) | links

a new device is out to protect the ladies in threatening situations. careful you don't put it on inside out.

A new anti-assault device for women wards off potential assailants with an 80,000-volt electric shock.

Dubbed "exo-electric armor," the No-Contact Jacket looks like an ordinary fashionable women's coat. But an inner layer of conductive fiber carries a low-amp charge that delivers a nasty but non-lethal shock to anyone who messes with its wearer.

"It's kind of like sticking your finger in a wall socket," said Adam Whiton, one of its designers. "It hurts. If someone tries to grab you from behind, they get the full, hefty shock out of it. That's really painful."

coming to a urinal near you

permalink | cm(0) | tb(0) | links

those folks a mit have come up with a revolutionary idea that will change the way you view urinals. for guys anyway.

The You're In Control system uses computation to enhance the act of urination. Sensors in the back of a urinal detect the position of a stream of urine, enabling people to play interactive games on a screen mounted above the urinal.

In an age when few people question that computers are changing social codes, You're In Control questions how technology can both challenge and enforce social mores. On one hand, You're In Control questions a basic social code of privacy by assuming that (even simulated) public urination is acceptable if the participant is playing a computer game. On the other hand, You're In Control proposes the application of technology to positively enforce social codes of sanitation.
