What’s the time?

Posted in Art, Clocks, Design, Entertainment, Funny, Graphics, Watches by david on the December 16th, 2007 at 10:00 am

Now you just cannot go wrong with a clock of this size can you?

big clock

No matter where this timepiece is placed you would be able to see it, but going on the size of it, I am a little worried as to what the alarm would be like, would it be loud?

No price as this is a museum display.

Posted in Advertising, Art, Consumer, Cool, Funny by david on the December 16th, 2007 at 8:00 am

Which one most described your lifestyle?

geeks

We are all geeks of one kind or another, but some are much better than others. Of course I could not possibly comment on any of them.

Scary crash helmet

Posted in Art, Consumer, Cool, Funny, Industrial, Motor by david on the December 16th, 2007 at 6:00 am

This is the sort of thing that you would expect to see in a horror movie or something where you have the gang that ride along on motorbikes terrorising innocent people.

It also looks as if it wouldn’t give much protection, but I suppose that it must have past the required tests etc.

skull hat

The one good thing about it is the ventilation that is gained by having the eye sockets in the front.

Priced at around $149.99

Pictures of a Really Really Really big Supercomputer!

Wait, how do you walk through all that?!?

Pictures of a Really Really Really big Supercomputer!4

Wow, I used to work as network technician long time ago when installing a CAT5 wires on a 5000 sq. ft office was hard. This is about 100 times harder looking… how do they even maintain the supercomputer? I wonder what happens if one of these go down. You are gonna have to be really good at walking over wires, which I am not.

MareNostrum’s Myrinet interconnect fabric requires four cabinets. Myricom did a nice job of reducing the cable count as much as they could by using quad-link ribbon cables between their switch elements. But with 12 separate switch elements in the fabric that means they still have a lot of cables and more cables means more connectors, more points of potential failure. They also use one cable per compute node, as is typically done in cluster configurations. Lots more cables, lots more connectors.

Contrast this with Sun’s Constellation System approach, which uses one large, ultra-dense InfiniBand switch (therefore no inter-switch cabling) and node connections that are bundled three per-cable and connected directly to Constellation’s ultra-dense blade chassis. This takes complexity management to the next level and makes petascale computing systems an achievable goal.

Visualeyes launches Rayzer - another set of Headlights that go on the rear-view mirror.

Posted in Auto, Consumer, Cool, Gadgets by max on the December 15th, 2007 at 10:24 pm

Visualeyes launches Rayzer!

Check out this nifty light for your car. Basically it goes behind your rear-view mirror, allowing more lights I guess… We haven’t figured out if this is a hit product yet but seems pretty cool for those dark curvy mountain roads for your next camping trip up to Tahoe. Will they send us a sample? (maybe I can put it on my TrailBlazer and find out if it works under rugged conditions and race-car style driving…lol…)

No exterior modifications needed on car!

In contrast to conventional auxiliary lights, Rayzer is positioned inside the car. The combination of the positioning, the HID (Xenon) lighting technology and the design sets it apart from anything else in the global market.

Rayzer solves a long list of problems associated with traditional auxiliary lights, such as theft, poor light quality, damage from stones and parking accidents.

The positioning at or above the driver%u2019s line of vision, produces better illumination. Plus, the fact that Rayzer will not disturb your car%u2019s appearance and aerodynamics.

DIY - How to be a moron and learn to not be rich by going to this site

Posted in Blog, Consumer, Cool, Entertainment, Funny, Web by max on the December 15th, 2007 at 10:00 pm

Learn to not be rich by going to this site

Here’s a fun site you can go and leave some nasty comments about how stupid the site is. Their motto is, “I can’t get rich, neither can you.” This guy probably works at McDonalds. (Well, he probably got fired from there before making this blog…lol…)

We know, we are evil and we like to make fun of other sites but that’s what makes us different from everyone else.
