We started out on them as children-I know I did at my middle school. They were ridiculous and over sized, with that obnoxious color of mustard yellow-reminded me of Guldens. Alot has changed since then, what with Ipad and Iphone users burning up the streets with their super savvy techno talk and shoulder bags.

This video is an OD to the Mac by way of the Mac Museum, a two minute rendition of simple tech desktop computers like the Mac II, IMac G4 and G5 to the more advanced IMac Core 2 Duo and IPad.

When you are prescribed a drug you may just shrug your shoulders when you try (and fail) to understand the information contained within the packet. That is why DrugAlert.com is an invaluable source of easy to understand information about the potentially dangerous drugs that are currently on the market.

This is one of the best sources of drug information on the internet.

Plus it is free – and all of the information on the extremely large database is without prejudice – it is there to protect the safety of consumers and has no ties to drug companies. It follows updates from various government sources and does not hesitate to publish the facts if safety guidelines are compromised.

In the 1940s the Ignus Fatuus, a ship involved in highly secret testing with nuclear power, space and time travel fell off the radar. The ship disappeared only to turn up on the boardwalk of Morey’s Piers in Wildwoods, New Jersey. Spooky enough but in fact this is a brilliant new attraction on the eastern seaboard.

This is a great story based loosely on the legend of the Philadelphia Experiment, which is a great urban legend, but is the attraction any good?

The Ghost Ship at Morey's Piers opened with absolutely rave reviews. The video above takes you through the opening ceremony, with the guests led in to the ghost ship to see it themselves. As you can see, the visitors gave it very high scores. Now open to the general public, the ship is not recommended for children under twelve as the scare factor is too high!

It promises to be a different ride each time. Taking two years to design and six months to construct, it replaces a miniature golf course. That is certainly not a bad alternative!

As the recession bites ever deeper new and unexpected arguments arise. One of the more unusual ones is that which is raging between opticians in the real world and the vendors of eyeglasses on the internet.

You need a PD for a prescription. In layman’s terms, a PD is Pupillary Distance – and that is measured in millimeters between the pupils of your eyes. It is necessary to be measured for PD so that your glasses fit comfortably and you don’t end up with a pair that smarts or digs in to your nose or the area around your eyes.

Zenni eyeglasses is a great website where you can get all sorts of eyeglasses for prices that suit you, unlike many opticians who want to lock you in to what they have in your own store.

Often, opticians will not want to give you your PD, which is important when you buy eyeglasses. However, if you walk in to an optician’s you will find that this information is only available when you have a prescription from the same store. In other words, they are banned or barred by their employer’s from disclosing your PD to you.

That means that then you have little choice about what you buy because it can only be from them.

Isn’t this a lock-in? What do you think?

The old boom box, used in countless videos and carted by all to their local beach, is now the subject of a super savvy design student from the Anadolu University. Created and produced by Davut Toy, Emrah özçelik, and Ahmet şerif yıldırım, this animated "Play" tape animation reaches out to technology that was once, hamster driven so to speak.

Did you ever wonder what happens when you actually press play on the boombox? Now you will!

Chris Jordan is a photographic artist based in Seattle, Washington transforming everyday trinkets into artistic pieces of awareness. His work explores the phenomenon of American consumerism and waste. From large scale pieces made with packing peanuts depicting the amount of packages shipped by air every hour or painting 200,000 packs of cigarettes in the likeness of Van Gogh to show 200,000 people die every 6 months from smoking-Jordan is obviously making a bold statement of his intent.

We see squirrels all the time, playing mischievous games or swinging from the tree branches, but rarely do we see a pair sharing their nuts. This picture was taken by Lynn Evans and is featured on the home page of Webshots as "The Picture of The Day".

Two scientists stand watching from a moderate distance.
One turns and says to the other:
"I'm sorry, George, I was wrong when I said we're the only animal on Earth that drinks the baby food of another species".

It's episode 35 of the most amazingly bizarre online comedy series you'll ever hear, and radio presenter Simon Bumtrousers interviews a man who claims to be a Transformer.

Have times changed that much where videos were simple and cartoon like, with a splash of the iconic era of long hair and peace signs? I should say they have as clearly depicted in this archived film of the Beatles showing some splendid footage of Paul McCartney and the boys catching some rays and frolicking in the swimming pool. How odd, yet so amusing!

Take a look at that!  Certainly, if the hobbits of Middle Earth had ever thought fit to explore sciences such as astrophysics then their observatory could have looked something like this. The Einstein Tower in Potsdam looks like something a curious hobbit might want to visit to explore the skies above, but is, in fact, a near perfect example of twentieth century expressionist architecture, but one made by us not halflings. However, just like the Shire, its history has not necessrily always been a peaceful one.

If you take a short train journey north from Amsterdam you really should choose to sit on your left.  A little piece of prehistory is waiting to greet you because when you pass the small town of Almere you will come across something that has not been seen in Europe for thousands of years.  The Dutch government have, for the past forty years, been funding a quite extraordinary project.  Seeing is believing - visit the link HERE and take a look for yourself.

Quite an amazing new sculpture has been unveiled in the UK.  It is called Temenos and it is the work of sculptor Anish Kapoor. It has been unveiled in the city of Middlebrough as an inspirational work - and it is certainly enormous, that is for sure! 

Towering at fifty meters high the colossal piece of art is part of a drive to regenerate the city and to encourage visitors.  As a post industrial work of art it certainly works, but many are a little upset that so much money (5 million US dollars) have been spent at a time when the economy is hardly thriving.

This is the very cool new video for the Rogue Traders single Love Is a War with lead singer Mindi Jackson.  If you like videos that contain girls in bikinis, this may be the one for you, but there is a twist.  Rather than the usual bevvy of R&B beauties, the ladies in this video come in all shapes and sizes!  There is another shade to this video too.  As the title might suggest, love certainly is a war so what the two sexes get down to here is a good old fashioned custard pie fight - and they look as if they are really enjoying it!

Ah, the seventies - the decade that taste forgot.  You only have to think of the Bay City Rollers to realise how true that was.  Although their music does not seem to have stayed the course as the songs of the main boyband from the previous decade, The Beatles, they were for a few short years the biggest band on the planet.  Usually their TV studio audiences would have consisted of girls, girls and more girls but on this occasion - The Ann Margaret Show - they were confronted with people who were alive when Mafeking was relieved.  Not that it stops the old ones getting down with the kids - I could swear that a few of them were about to whip their twinset and pearl set off and spin it around their heads.  Some of these older folk, however, do retain their natural aloofness - and the sight of one little granny knitting while the Bay City Rollers sing and her peers carouse is the stuff of brilliance!

How cool is this?  You may be nodding sagely but are you sure what it is?  This is one of the Himalayan Salt Lamps that are available at the very cool website silverskyimports.

Himalayan Salt Lamps act as natural ionisers because they release negative ions.  That means they work against positive ions which are produced by things we find all over our houses – from tobacco smoke to aircon and TVs.

In other words, as well as looking great, they are good for you too!
