One More Way China's Beating America....Traffic
Like JMD says, it's basically a composite picture taken from several frames of video.
I don't think it's faked (multiple shots of the same cars), just quickly done. Well, maybe not quickly, but at least was going for dramatic effect not pixel-for-pixel accuracy.
This whole thing is crazy.
Also, it looks pretty real but whaaat is this?
You can see it at 1:52 in the video. It's a still image that the video is panning over and it looks like either a car has driven over another car or there's a seam from photo editing. I think the latter is more likely. Can anybody else explain it any other way?
(It could be a little bit of road rage got the better of a pair of drivers. I bet there's more than a bit of that going on throughout the video...)
Smarter Every Day - You won't believe your eyes
I've always said the word genius is bandied around way too much, and this video is a fine example. CRT screens/tvs follow the same idea - individual lights illuminate in sequence quickly enough to form a static picture, each pixel changes very slightly 100 times per second (refresh rate) to give the illusion of the original picture in motion. The CRT beam scans ("rasters") from top left to bottom right (for example) in exactly the same way that the device in the video spins (it rasters in a circle) and however many times it spins per second is the refresh rate.
It's a cool project and his PCB work is nice, and he's done a good job of translating a picture into a timed set of lights. The videographer uses the term genius because he was not previously aware of the long history of rasters. This would be a useful tool for teaching children about the process - CRTs might not be popular anymore, but CCDs are fundamental to (astro)physics, and the principles behind both cover a huge range of potential teaching topics.
Pixel Cops: A True Detective Story
So, Freddie gets almost totally derezzed but our pixel cop only gets a blocky hole in his chest? At least have him go to pieces after he's delivered his final lines.

Mortal Kombat Fatalities are Getting Creative
Seeing this really puts a new perspective on the ketchup blood and pixelated gore of the original. To the claims that it desensitizes us to violence I would point out that real world violence does that as well, perhaps even more so since its actually real. Should we ban the evening news as well?
Virtual reality, explained with some trippy optical illusion
You went farther than I did then.
All I can say is when I cut out squares in a piece of paper, I could see a difference until they 'masked off' the image, then it had changed. I know these can work without fudging, which is why I was disappointed.
Did you note the difference between the 'colored' image and the 'masked off' image? It sure seems like there's a difference to me, if I stop it 1/2 way through and cover all but 2 squares, one is slightly lighter than the other on my monitor. That went for both the cubes and the floor tiles. Maybe it's 'eye memory' or something, but it sure seemed to me that the center tile was noticeably lighter until the 'masking off' happened.
I used a piece of paper against my monitor to measure the table,....I must have moved it when marking it, because now when I do it, it seems the tables ARE the same size. Damn touch screen, kept starting the video every time I touched it.
If those lines were really pixel straight, my paper is cut with a curve or my monitor has a problem.
Again, you went farther than I did to prove it, so I'll defer to you and accept I'm seeing things, even when I mask them off myself.
EDIT: Just a thought why I may have seen it differently, do you think it's possible that 'light bleed' or 'color bleed' on my monitor has anything to do with it? I mean, since the pixel next to the 'grey' block might be glowing bright yellow, it could color the grey slightly yellow, while the RGB value would not change?
Sorry, newt, but that's simply inaccurate.
I saw two grey pills too, but you're completely wrong about the others. I screen shotted all the images into paint.net to verify them.
The rubix cube image is 100% real. The RGB values for the blue and yellow tiles are identical (127,128,129).
Same with the the tiles under the table. They are are off by a small amount (rgb 70 68 71 vs rgb 70 68 70), but I'd but that down to the video encoding.
Ditto with the checkboard; zooming in with paint.net the lines are pixel straight (there is some anti-aliasing at the edges, but it doesn't affect the "straightness of the checkerboard").
The tables too, are the same size. I rotated the vertical table.
If you don't believe me, try it yourself.

OK. Looking extremely closely and using paper to block out the image, I have to say they fudged things on some of them.
I saw two grey pills the whole time.
The colored tiles fade to grey as they "mask off" the other tiles, they start no where near the shade of grey they end up as, their color has faded a lot in the process.
The grey tiles on the floor also change shades as they are 'masked off' quite clearly. I went 1/4 speed, and also tried masking them off myself, they clearly faked this one.
I put a straight edge on the checker board and sure enough, those lines are slightly curved....just barely but they are.
The two table tops are NOT the same size at first, I measured and the vertical table is definitely longer on the long side. That one's obvious.
The spinning dots does work for me, as do convex images and auditory illusions.
So I'm not ready to call 'fake' on this, but IMO it's fudged badly.
Rediculous B-ball shots

Why Every New Macbook Needs a Different Goddamn Charger
Sure, but with the latest Chromebook Pixel being USB-C, Google hinted that the next Nexus would also be USB-C.
USB-C is pretty cool, actually, so it doesn't bother me that much (already been from proprietary->mini USB->micro USB as far as chargers go anyway, plus custom variants of MHL ports). I'm looking forward to this all being standardised and approve of Apple going for a non-Apple proprietary port for once.
Why I use Android devices. Same f'ing Micro-USB charges every device in the house.

Is this seriously a ripoff of the Short video "Pixel"?
