Sandstorms hitting Korea from China has worsened over the last couple years. A Sandstorm can really make a city quicky sandy like the picture above. I remember living in Korea couple years ago but sandstorms weren’t as bad then. Due to China’s exponential growth of factories, pollution, and what not, Koreans are being killed and slaughtered by the mass sandy pollution.

“There is an increasing possibility that yellow dust will appear some time between Thursday night and Friday,” South Korea’s Meteorological Administration said on its website.

The dust, which originates in the Gobi Desert in China, picks up heavy metals and carcinogens such as dioxin as it passes over Chinese industrial regions, before hitting North and South Korea and Japan, meteorologists say.

Check out this cool laser graffiti!

Defense contractors say that within the next 10 years they’ll have a solid state laser mounted on a Hummer that can put a hole in a sheet of metal from several miles away. Well Dutch graffiti writers can pretty much do that now with this Hymermobil-mounted L.A.S.E.R. Tagging system dope off the assembly line at the Graffiti Research Lab

Check out the homemade flight simulator you can test your 747 pilot skills with!

One day Matthew Sheil’s Boeing 747 is dodging houses on the approach into Hong Kong, the next it’s shaking like a baby’s rattle in a storm over the Atlantic. But Sheil does it all at a cruising altitude of about nine feet without ever leaving a Sydney, Australia, warehouse.

An amateur pilot who runs a trucking company, Sheil has spent eight years building a flight simulator that precisely mimics a 747 cockpit down to the last dial, knob and switch. And flying it may be better than the real thing. It’s got real-time weather, the preflight safety lecture (recorded), air-traffic control (live, from other sim users), even Qantas Airways food—but crashing is less fatal.

Things have been going crazy over Aqua Teen Hunger Force. I think their guerilla marketing strategy did work!

Check out these interesting links for the Aqua week:

• Aqua Teen Hunger Force Homemade LED Shirt
• Boston Mooninite installers arrested
• eBay Watch: Aqua Teen Hunger Force LED Board Selling for $787
• Video of people who got arrested (These guys are really cool…nice hair)
• Video of the Aqua Teen Hunger Force cartoon

Boston is going crazy over our cool LED man. Well I meant “our” as in the technology community.

They’ve “identified” it as a bomb threat and started blowing up these as they find them.

Check out this hilarious video, here.

More cool funny stuff.

Check out the full story.

What do we think of this? Everyone here at Zedomax was laughing all the way through the video,
we first thought it was just fake… :p

This is an outrage, they should hire some smarter people at least. Just because it’s hanging in
random places doesn’t mean it’s a threat! I know it’s post 911 era, but this is just going way too
far. They just have to hire couple geeky guys like us in their bomb squad (and pay us at least six
figures for being geeky) and they would have known it’s just an LED. My condolences go out to
Peter Berdvosky, who is an innocent art student. It’s a good thing the LEDs are just LEDs, if they
were people, oh man, that would really blow the world.

Man, thinking of tax time and how much of my hard earned dollars that are withheld by the
government, this is total BS… Anyone feeling the same way, link to this article and Make article
and let’s start a revolution against stupid bomb squad! (again, this is so stupid, they REALLY
need some smarter people in the government…)

Really, there should be a news TV about how stupid these people are wasting our tax money,
instead these TV people are taking it so serious! (It’s a great thing I don’t watch TV and
don’t really care about how everyone else in the world thinks and the media.)

Leave your positive and negative thoughts!

P.S. If that’s the bomb squad, I better move to another country becaz that ain’t protection,
that’s plain stupidity.

Yes, we need to do something about these keys for touch-screen voting machines… These keys
were COPIED via pictures! Why are they using such outdated technology for high-tech
touch-screens? Leave comments!

It was revealed in the course of last summer’s landmark virus hack of a Diebold touch-screen voting system at Princeton University that, incredibly, the company uses the same key to open every machine. It’s also an easy key to buy at any office supply store since it’s used for filing cabinets and hotel mini-bars! That is, if you’re not a poll worker who already has one from the last time you worked on an election (anybody listening down there in San Diego?).

The Princeton Diebold Virus Hack, if you’ve been living in a cave, found that a single person with 60 seconds of unsupervised access to the system, who either picked the lock (easy in 10 seconds) or had a key, could slip a vote-swapping virus onto a single machine which could then undetectably affect every other machine in the county to steal an entire election.

But the folks at Princeton who discovered the hack (after our own organization, VelvetRevolution.us, gave them the Diebold touch-screen machine on which to perform their tests) had resisted showing exactly what the key looked like in order to hold on to some semblance of security for Diebold’s Disposable Touch-Screen Voting Systems.

Here’s a cool hack if you use a lot of barcodes and carry a whole bunch of cards that you don’t
need. A barcode is simply a number when translated. You can refer to our touchscreen barcode
reader also for how to make a simple bar code reader.

Well, this one I’ve actually used one myself when I was living over in Asia couple years ago, but it seems it take years for the great toilet seat technology to come to America, just like cellphones…

I was trying to help my friend’s parent’s research on the web whether it was a good time to buy
or sell their house.

Luckily, I stumbled onto this cool free site where you can type your zipcode
and it will tell you a nice long-term chart including average listing price, average sales price, and
the number of sales of houses during the last couple years and last couple months.

I just saved $300 by not paying for information at a real state site.
