Q: Are there any plans for you to run unsigned applications, like on Android?
A: There is a porn store for Android to go to. You can download them, your kids can download them. That's a place we don't want to go. We're not going to go there.


It's tripe, total bullshit. The standards of quality? Yes, you're guaranteed to get the best flash-light or fart-simulator possible.

Foil Impressioning - Lockpick Technique

Croccydile says...

I saw this off boing boing, and though it was pretty damn clever especially against what are considered normally very secure (not unpickable, but the time needed to do so traditionally would have been much longer than this)

Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactor - Google Tech Talk Remix

curiousity says...

Here's a talk by Bill Gates about nuclear power as an energy source. Not about Thorium, but still interesting... I tried to sift it, but it kept giving me an "code is incorrect" and I just don't know enough to fix it:

excerpt from article above:
"A molecule of uranium has a million times more energy than a molecule of coal." He and Nathan "Mosquito Zapper" Myrhvold are backing a nuclear approach. It's called Terrapower, and it's different from a standard nuclear reactor. Instead of burning the 1% of uranium-235 found in natural uranium, this reactor burns the other 99%, called uranium-238. You can use all the leftover waste from today's reactors as fuel. "In terms of fuel this really solves the problem." He showed a photo of depleted waste uranium in steel cylinders at the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant in Kentucky -- the waste at this plant could supply the US energy needs for 200 years (woah!), and filtering seawater for uranium could supply energy for much longer than that.

Back-Bouncing Kitten

Jack Chick, animated: "Somebody Goofed," by Syd & Rodney

Trancecoach says...

^While all that you say may be true (albeit a bit embellished) about this (granted) lunatic, this 8 minute film debuted at the DFILM Digital Film Festival in San Francisco on November 7, 1997 to which it received some wild responses. DFILM founder Bart Cheever tells Boing Boing TV reported, "People really loved it or really, really hated it. Religious people called it blasphemous and threatened to organize boycotts of our shows. Anti-religious people called it religious propaganda and wrote angry letters to theater owners where we screened the festival."

Anything that provokes THAT level of reaction deserves some attention! *requeue

Glass Door Prank

doogle says...

Transcription of the French:


Us in France, we have a habit, we never use the handle. We use the glass, right? What if there was no glass, what would happen? I was caught too, and they put up a camera to see if others are caught to. Let's see what happens when a glass door, is no longer a glass door. Bang. Boom. Boing. Boing. Shrlerk. Crack. Crash.
