Rare, Remarkable Photo Gallery Of World War II

If you remember my earlier post on the visually stunning and historically priceless photo gallery of rare World War II photos, you must be waiting for more.

Though the Retrospective is still waiting for six more entries and will be complete on October 30th, you can visit the site again to look at the entries that has been added since my last post.”

Facebook Dwarfs All Other Sites With a Repository of 140 Billion Photos!

“Check out the gigantic volume of photos now stored in Facebook compared to Flickr, the Library of Congress and Instagram.

I knew they were big, but I never imagined the difference could be so huge. 140 billion photos!

It defies belief. It’s 10,000 times larger than the photo catalog in the Library of Congress!

And Flickr, which I erroneously thought would be larger than anything else, is just a tiny fraction of Facebook.”

Fly Around The World In 62 Seconds!

“Science educator James Drake built this amazing timelapse video from the perspective of the International Space Station as it flew over North and South America.”

Thin Film Transforms Any Surface Into a Massive Multitouch Screen

“Open up a cardboard tube, roll out a transparent film just millimeters thick, apply it on a flat object and *tada* you’ve got an interactive touch surface.

Cambridge-based Visual Planet just launched its new massive-sized multitouch thin film drivers so you can create touchscreens from 30 to 167 inches in size!

Their touchfoil is a transparent nanowire embedded polymer capable of sensing the touch of a finger, or even pressure from wind and translating that to a computer interface. It works on glass, wood, and other non-conductive surfaces.

Along with their many partners, Visual Planet can ship a custom built film (almost) anywhere on the planet and help you create a unique interactive display that will turn heads and hold attention.”
