A glimpse into the future - part 1
Published Monday, March 16, 2009 by motion11.
Did you ever wonder how will the world look like in a few hundred years?? Well I did, so I took time to seek out some the most advanced technology and try to simulate the future. And I'm not talking about concept cars which we see every year on different auto shows like Geneva or Detroit. I'm talking about the real everyday stuff.. like cell phones, plasma TV, some other kind of TV screen maybe??, kitchen designs, building designs, table designs, computer designs, mp3 players etc. I found so many cool pictures of different future gadgets I just couldn't put them all in just one post. So this is the first part... Expect more pictures because I've found a lot of them!!!
Flask mobile phone, looks like a lighter, but it's really a cell phone. Imagine the possibilities...
Brix attachable mobile phones. This is really a picture of 10 cell phones connected to one another. Each of them is touch screen mobile phone that has a display on the whole surface of the phone. If you attach them you can choose what to display on each of them and form abigger screen or display some particular thing on one of them like the score of a soccer game. Amazing!!
A new kind of desk mp3 player. It takes very little place and looks amazing!!
A table laptop.. It really not a lap-top :), it's a table computer!!
Apple curved screen for better 3D feeling while whatching your favourite documentary on NBational Geographic.
A computer with 3 screens. Gaming should be 3 times the fun :) I actually think that this will look better in the future but the idea is futuristic!!
This is actually a real design buildings in Korea this looks too good to be true.. The buildings look terrific from a distance. I hope to visit Korea some day because of this..

The biggest things out there!!!
Published Friday, February 27, 2009 by motion11.
It’s good to be big. From Samsung's largest LCD screen ever, biggest book, largest diamond, biggest mosquito, biggest cat to the tallest hotel. Take a look at some of the world’s biggest objects and creatures I could find.
Diamond
The Cullinan Diamond (aka the Great Star of Africa) is cut from the largest rough diamond ever found. The largest of the cuts, the Cullinan, is 530.2 carats. The diamond is currently owned by Queen Elizabeth II and is placed in the royal scepter, but is removable. The scepter is currently displayed at the Tower of London along with the rest of the British Crown Jewels.
“The Great Motherland of China” which hangs in the atrium of the Island Shangri-La Hotel in Hong Kong is the largest Chinese silk painting in the world. The tapestry is 15 stories tall and is visible from the hotel’s glass elevators.
Airplane
The largest aircraft in the world is the Antonov An-225 Mriya. Making its maiden flight in 1988, it was built to transport the Soviet Union’s space shuttle Buran. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Antonov 225 did not fly for years until May, 2001, when a 15-minute test flight was conducted in hopes of using the plane again for transporting large cargo. The plane is 276 feet long and has a maximum gross weight of 1,411,000 pounds—also making it the heaviest plane in the air.
Book
The award for biggest published book goes to an author and scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Michael Hawley. The 133-pound book is five by seven feet, 112 pages, needs a gallon of ink for printing, and costs $2,000 to produce.
LCD Screen
The world’s largest LCD screen comes from Samsung. They’re hoping that some people have enough space in their living rooms for the 70-inch screen.
According to Guinness World Records, the Burj Al Arab in Dubai is the tallest hotel in the world. Completed in 1999, the hotel stands at 1,052 feet and is built on a man-made island. Towards the top of the hotel is a helipad for any guests hoping to arrive in their helicopters.
I've got no comment on the next three pictures.. You figure it out..

Making of some cool pictures of famous people
Published Thursday, February 19, 2009 by motion11.
Did you know that when you want to draw a picture of someone famous, you first have to think about what job they do or their favorite hobby?? Well, neither did I!! But it turned out that it's true. For example, when you want to draw Andre Agassi you should first draw a tennis ball!! Or when you want to draw a picture of Jacques Chirac(former president of France) you should first outline a shape of France.. Weird, huh??

Victims of alchocol overdose
Published Monday, November 17, 2008 by motion11.
When a person drinks alcohol at a rate faster than his liver can metabolize it, the alcohol accumulates in the bloodstream, subsequently affecting judgment and coordination, and possibly leading to loss of consciousness. When dealing with alcohol overdose, keep in mind that since the effects of the alcohol depend upon a variety of factors, such as body weight, number of drinks per hour, and individual metabolic rates. What you're about to see is not for the weakhearted and for children under 14 years of age...
