This is really epic on a literally epic scale. On Guinness World Records Day, November 17 2011, Reebok and CrossFit took fitness to another dimension in Canary Wharf. On their mission to e … 
Looks like we need someone more genius than Einstein to come up with revolutionary theory that includes these results of the neutrinos. Results from a second experiment uphold the observation that neutrinos are moving faster than the speed of light. The OPERA collaboration, which first reported the superluminal neutrinos in September, has rerun the experiment ... 
Okay, i seriously never expect anyone to find any interesting species, much less a thought-to-be-extinc t one, in the waters off Singapore. More than 100 years after it was last seen, the … 
Seriously, no one beats David Thorne at answering emails. From: anton@function4sport s.com Date: Thursday 20 January 2011 11.14am To: David Thorne Subject: Advertisement I received the attached advertisement from a friend who follows you on twitter or something. If this was some kind of joke I fail to see the humor. We had over 5000 calls ... 
Oh well, life sucks sometimes, especially when your server source has been uncovered and big companies goes straight to them instead of you. Google flies there. So does Facebook. And proba … 
A really simple object, which everyone can never forget. That is why we haven’t been able to get rid of light bulbs, even though the much efficient LED lights have been around for such a long time. Hopefully, this LED spin of the age old light bulb, will put an end to the energy saping ... 
Well, it seems like David Rand hasn’t been to /b. It turns out nice guys can finish first, and David Rand has the evidence to prove it. Rand, a post-doctoral fellow in Harvard’s Department of Psychology and a Lecturer in Human Evolutionary Biology, is the lead author of a new paper, which found that dynamic, ... 
I was wondering why the 7 new wonders of the world stays the same. It need Change. And well, my call was answered. Now we have 7 new wonders of the world, this time though, all of them are nature’s 7 wonders of the world, as compared to the old list, which has wonders created ... 
Essentially, Phobos Grunt has to be saved for a couple of reasons: 1) To save the ego of Long Range Space Programmes. 2) If Phobos Grunt crashes onto Earth, it will be disastrous as it carries 12 tons of highly toxic mix of nitrogen teroxide and hydrazine fuel. 3) The mission to Phobos haven’t even ... 
Looks like the ‘In Soviet Russia, we move Phobos to Earth.’ option in the poll, could turn out true. NASA must be pissing in their pants too as they are going to send their own Mars probe soon. Russian scientists are struggling to get the country’s first interplanetary mission in 15 years back on track. ...
Ridiculous is a strong word to describe this picture, but I am pretty sure this is not worth all the 4.3millions. Other than the lines.. I can’t see much artistic value in this. Any curators would prove otherwise? Not that the previous most expensive photo is that nice, but this takes the cake. They say ...
In an ‘up yours’ to NASA, the Russians is back in the space game. This time, they are going to Mars, touch the surface, and come back to Earth. Are you ready to see sands from Mars moon? A Russian probe on Wednesday set off on a three year return mission to Mars that aims ... 
The era of Captcha is endangered, it needs to be improved upon or risk losing it’s purpose on the internet. It also marks the start of how algorithms, or in a general sense ‘robots’ , are becoming more and more human at recognition ability. Be afraid, be very afraid. Stanford researchers say that captcha security codes, ...
Using a mixture of in-game scenes and live action films, this video is weirdly cool. Well, at least it teaches a good lesson, that the pros should always help out the noobs, instead of trolling them.
To say that I am flabbergasted when I saw this, is an understatement. This documentary, made fully using HTML5 and rendered using WebGL is mind boogling. I have never seen anything like this before, and this is going to what the next century on the web is like. This is just the beginning. HTML5, where ... 
Over here, we are pretty obsessed with how much data supercomputers can process. And Fujitsu K has past the 10 petaflops per second barrier. The chase for the best supercomputer is never ending, and it actually gives countries bragging rights. The Japanese have broken the 10 petaflop barrier. On Wednesday, Japanese IT giant Fujitsu and ... 
Thinking it would be pretty interesting to drop by this event to find out more on what is really brewing in Stockholm’s tech scene, I got into the event in incognito mode. Boy, was I surprised by the tech offerings by some of the promising tech companies out there. My camera sucks, but either way, ... 
I resides in Singapore, and this piece of news, is somewhat, a little disturbing. I can’t imagine a Fukushima below my HDB block (the most common form of residence in land scarce Singapore). Nuclear power is going to be a tough sell going forward given the ongoing radiation leaking from Japan’s Fukushima Daiichi power plant, ... 
Great, now we might be close to lengthening humans life, even though the earth is getting more congested as it passed the 7 billion human count recently. Research into longevity, that most fundamental and intractable of all human health challenges, is slow moving. It deserves to be described in terms of years, not individual studies. ... 
Following up on our post a few days ago, the Chinese government is denying any involvement in the hacking of satellites. It could really be propaganda on USA side. Beijing officials are denying accusations the Chinese military interfered with two U.S. Earth-monitoring satellites, the wires are reporting today. On Friday, a draft report to Congress ...
