Now i’m not sure how you they got away with this but hats off to them. When stranded overnight at the Dallas Fort-Worth airport, Joe Ayala and a friend filmed themselves acting like kids in the terminal that for one night was their hotel room. You just have to wonder where all the security was whilst these two were fannying about though.
Now this is something straight out of Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the chocolate factory, a baker from Fife has created an edible yet playable chocolate record. Wonders will never cease!!

I’m not sure what to say about this apart from WTF!! Isabella Rosseliini telling it how it is!!
Now this is how you do your daughters hair! Dad’s of the world take note its not just mother who can do the hair in the house. All you need is a vacuum cleaner and a hair band. Stick the hair band on the end, suck up all your daughters hair, pop the band off and job done.

Now we all know the theme song from The fresh prince but i bet you haven’t heard it like this…
From the youtube page:
In the geekiest experiment ever, CDZA co-founder Joe Sabia shows us what happens when we translate the lyrics of the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air through every language in Google Translate (64 times), and then taking what remains and translating it BACK into English.
Featuring Jeremie Harris as Will Smith.
Technically speaking, all but the first verse were translated. The lyrics were translated from English to the world’s most spoken language (Mandarin), to the second most (Spanish), to the third most, to the fourth most, ETC, putting all 64 languages in order by finding the demographic population size on every language on Wikipedia.
Fun facts:
The last translation we put it through was “Esperanto”, because apparently, only 10,000 people speak it.
No one has an official language of “Latin”, but we had to assume a lot of people are still able to speak it. So that was a bit ambiguous.
Proper Nouns never really changed. Neither did numbers, as you can tell in the last stanza, “7,8”.
We have no idea why we did this.

These sweets called Popping Candy Placebos are clear pill gels filled with little candy beads. They use to say a spoon full of sugar helps the medicine go down but now you don’t even need the spoon just more medication. I think these are absolute amazing, so much so i think i might have to go and buy some…..Oh wait i’m diabetic. Damn!!!
Now this is story fills me with awe at just how amazing it is. There are certainly no idiots in this group that’s for sure!!
What happens when you give a thousand Ethiopian kids a tablet remembering that they have never seen a printed word let alone played around with any kind of expensive technology like mobile phones or tablets? Well duh!! They hack it, like any self respecting youth.
The amazing One Laptop Per Child scheme has been offering up Motorola Xoom tablets to kids in developing countries for a while. OLPC founder Nicholas Negroponte explained how they’re rolled out, and the impact they have, while he was at MIT Technology Review’s EmTech conference last week:
“We left the boxes in the village. Closed. Taped shut. No instruction, no human being. I thought, the kids will play with the boxes! Within four minutes, one kid not only opened the box, but found the on/off switch. He’d never seen an on/off switch. He powered it up. Within five days, they were using 47 apps per child per day. Within two weeks, they were singing ABC songs [in English] in the village. And within five months, they had hacked Android. Some idiot in our organisation or in the Media Lab had disabled the camera! And they figured out it had a camera, and they hacked Android.”
That, that is just sensational. To go from never having seen a written word — remember, the towns these kids grow up in have no street signs, no newspapers, no food packaging — to hacking an Android tablet in five months shows how inquisitive and adaptable the human brain is.
