They took a still image and added moving objects to it, but I don't know if they can apply the technique to videos yet (although I'm sure that's coming).

Very realistic. My first thought was that if this can be done without leaving detectable artifacts, then it will inevitably impact the admissibility of photographs as evidence in trials.

Actually, many are angry because failure was rewarded with money. The core issue was that the financial sector took huge risks with mortgage backed securities, which weren't properly rated by firms like S&P, and when that lead to the

Just to be clear, I am not a proponent of standardized-test-based curricula. I just thought it was odd that they used an international standardized test as a basis for criticizing US standardized tests. The curricula you linked to looks sim

It's funny that the article starts off criticizing standardized testing but immediately turns to international standardized test results (PISA) as the foundation for the rest of the article. It could well be that Finland has a better educat

I've always wondered why the US has a Department of Education but it doesn't produce a national curriculum. It's mission isn't directly tied to teaching itself [1]. Looking at the rise of sites like the Khan Academy and other services, it s

"The researchers found that, including computer play, children in 1997 spent only about eleven hours per week at play." I'm sure it depends on where you live. In my neighborhood, kids are out playing all the time. I don't know where the s

Which eyeglasses look better? The last few times I've bought glasses, I was unhappy with my choice within a few months. I'm really lousy at judging what looks good on my face, and the sales staff aren't much better. I'm envisioning a mobile

I did a screen grab at ~10:00 PM PST. I never planned on posting it, but I felt it was the "where were you when you found out JFK / Elvis / etc. died" moment of the tech generation and wanted to capture it.

They searched the phone before obtaining a warrant. This ruling is troubling not because of the case at hand, but because of the precedent it sets. It's definitely an area where the law could be better defined.

Newspapers are the absolute worst at this. Next time you read a paper, take notice of how many times to have to flip to a back page to find the information implied by the title. More often than not, it could have been summarized in the firs

"That could change if Congress came to its senses, passed Barack Obama’s jobs plan" The jobs plan doesn't even have enough Democratic support to pass the Senate, so the likelihood of it making it through both houses is nil. It's more of a p

As a rule of thumb, I try to rely on Google as little as possible for important services. I don't dislike Google, but their lack of customer service makes it risky to rely too heavily on their services. I use Dropbox for syncing and backup,

I was going to write basically the same thing. I used to combine data and action in the same classes but recently have begun refactoring them out into separate data and "-er" classes. Maybe somewhere an OOP purist is frowning, but I really

Even if they did shift manufacturing overseas eventually, it still would have made more sense to have the initial fabrication done locally until they ramp up to higher volumes and dial in the process. The pictures look like a small job shop

Seinfeld was a successful comic. The end goal for a lot of comedians is to parlay it into an acting career, which Seinfeld did. Forbes estimates his net worth at $800 million. If that isn't a successful comedic career, than I'm not sure wha

Mea culpa, Obi Wan. A couple of levels up I mistakenly thought that the +1 buttons next to my search results were an early buzz effort for Google+. I thought "recommend this page" implied "recommend this page to my friends on Google+". I ma

I guess I'm suffering from internet burnout, but I wasn't paying attention to the differentiation between Google+ and Google's +1. If they're not related then that's a really poor naming strategy.

I never signed up for +1, yet I saw +1 buttons next to all my search results. While not a TV or radio ad blitz, that is a form of marketing.

While you are technically correct, the idea of needing the US military support while "abroad" in Canada is pretty funny. What are they going to do, call in an air strike if attacked by a puffin?
