Straight up eye candy.

One reason to upgrade, if you're on Vista, is performance. Vista file searching among other things IIRC, was crap.

But if I upgrade from Windows 2000 I hope I'll see sufficient new features plus the eye-candy to make it worth the time.

shes physically very sexy, but I do wish she was playing a role that actually contributed to the story instead of being complete eye candy, setting an extremely low standard for actresses...well actually both movies have no story so I guess thats impossible, but you know what i mean!

>> ^Hybrid:
But why would you want to do half of this?
I mean who watches a video rotated to 45 degrees with an edge filter on? Do people do that just because they can, or because they want to?
Looks like all bells and whistles to me.


Those sorts of things look a bit silly but there seems more to it than eye-candy. You can also include links and text and make applications using video more interactive. And it's still early days for HTML 5.

I saw 3 really small and partially translucent nipples! Is this NSFW?


I guess you could say it is, but there's so much going on in this it's hard to pick out a few nipples. You must have trained eyes.

Edit: On another note, is that all you came away with after watching this? The fact that there were some nipples from scenes in movies shown? This is fucking awesome. I've watched it like 10 times today, and noticed something new every time... and now that I'm stoned it's even better! Like cinematic/artistic eye candy.

This was just a chance to show that eye-candy model of theirs...

The SALVIA Experiential Rating Scale

Level - 1 "S" stands for SUBTLE effects. A feeling that "something" is happening, although it is difficulty to say just what. Relaxation and increased sensual appreciation may be noted. This mild level is useful for meditation and may facilitate sexual pleasure.

Level - 2 "A" stands for ALTERED perception. Colors and textures are more pronounced. Appreciation of music may be enhanced. Space may appear of greater or lesser depth than is usual. But visions do not occur at this level. Thinking becomes less logical, and more playful; short-term memory difficulties may be noted.

Level - 3 "L" stands for LIGHT visionary state. Closed-eye visuals (clear imagery with eyes closed: fractal patterns, vine-like and geometric patterns, visions of objects and designs). The imagery is often two dimensional. If open-eyed visual effects occur, these are usually vague and fleeting. At this level, phenomena similar to the hypnagogic phenomena that some people experience at sleep onset occur. At this level, visions are experienced as "eye candy" but are not confused with reality.

Level - 4 "V" stands for VIVID visionary state. Complex three-dimensional realistic appearing scenes occur. Sometimes voices may be heard. With eyes open, contact with consensual reality will not be entirely lost, but when you close your eyes you may forget about consensus reality and enter completely into a dreamlike scene. Shamanistic journeying to other lands--foreign or imaginary; encounters with beings (entities, spirits) or travels to other ages may occur. You may even live the life of another person. At this level you have entered the shaman's world. Or if you prefer: you are in "dream time." With eyes closed, you experience fantasies (dream like happenings with a story line to them). So long as your eyes are closed you may believe they are really occurring. This differs from the "eye candy" closed-eye imagery, of level 3.

Level - 5 "I" stands for IMMATERIAL existence. At this level one may no longer be aware of having a body. Consciousness remains and some thought processes are still lucid, but one becomes completely involved in inner experience and looses all contact with consensual reality. Individuality may be lost; one experiences merging with God/dess, mind, universal consciousness, or bizarre fusions with other objects--real or imagined (e.g. experiences such as merging with a wall or piece of furniture). At this level it is impossible to function in consensual reality, but unfortunately some people do not remain still but move around in this befuddled state. For this reason a sitter is essential to ensure the safety of someone voyaging to these deep levels. To the person experiencing this the phenomenon may be terrifying or exceedingly pleasant; but to an outside observer the individual may appear confused or disoriented.

Level 6 - "A" stands for AMNESIC effects. At this stage, either consciousness is lost, or at least one is unable to later recall what one had experienced. The individual may fall, or remain immobile or thrash around; somnambulistic behavior may occur. Injuries can be sustained without pain being felt; on awakening, the individual will have no recollection of what he/she did, experienced, or said in level 6. People cannot recall what they experience in this very deep trance state. This is not a desirable level, because nothing can latter be recalled of the experience.

From http://www.sagewisdom.org/usersguide.html very informative and educational source. Level 5 is where I go when I use it.

Oh hell - embrace it! Why not? As a huge fan of TOS - I think it looks great!
Oh, and ponceleon - with respect to #1 - this is a civilization that has developed artificial gravity, faster than light travel and matter teleportation (of complex living organisms - consciousness intact, no less!) - what in the world makes you think they couldn't build a spaceship on the planet surface and get it into orbit?
Sure makes life support a hell of a lot easier!


The transporter was a way of saving money and time in TOS of course but it just seems too advanced given the amount of information that would have to be read/stored/transferred and theres' the thorny issue of consciousness (I read the Science of Star Trek years ago!).

So within the Star Trek universe building a ship on the ground might be feasible but still, why? They spend most of their time in space anyhow and you'd have to expend considerable energy getting it off the planet (how do the thrusters work again?). And IIRC the first Enterprise is built in space during the opening credits of Star Trek: Enterprise. I guess this one is simply there for the SFX eye candy it offers.

I'd love to see more playlists on the sift. I'd love to see a trend of longform abstract eye candy montages (Eklek Dreamtrip stuff, industrial footage, nature, vintage smut, ect.) to use as video ambiance at parties.

The eye candy ain't bad, the music is terrible...

hahaha no way! I was in Vegas this weekend too! Didn't gamble though...I chose drugs, clubs and pool parties.

>> ^MarineGunrock:
Who goes to Vegas and misses a woman!?!

I'm glad I brought my woman to Vegas. It game me something to do after looking at all that scantily clad eye candy.

At least eye candy can be dumb occasionally and get away with it. Cindy McCain, though? Nope.

And what is with the diamond Marine and Navy pins?

What I want to know is where this park is, that was some nice eye candy.

Upvote for the eye candy alone! Jesus
