yet another video post :)

Anar here...

The following is a very entertaining video I would like to keep ;)
This time it's an advertisement from Nike and it's all about the Robert Rodriguez Style.... And by the way... directed by Robert Rodriguez as well ;)  ... starring Bruce Willis!

A Really Great Job:

Please, just watch this video. I don't have comments... I am still crying and can't stop ...

LOL :D :D :D

Victoria's Secret Holiday 2010 Ad

Who can make Victoria's Secret even more sexy as it is already?
This is a rhetorical question, man! Of course, feel free to express your opinions. ;) But as for me, the answer is clear - Michael Bay.

BMW Logo - in Afterimage Effect

BMW continue to surprise us with their commercials. This time they have used the afterimage effect to let you enjoy the BMW logo with your closed eyes :)



I actually think, that BMW does the best commercials. I mean, they don't show some dancing robots stuff or other bullshit like that...
They advertise exactly what one BMW customers awaits from BMW products!!!

A Chrome OS Notebook advertisement

Very funny video-advertisement about Chrome Notebooks ;)

A Greek computer was recreated with LEGOs

An Apple engineer, Andrew Carol, has recreated the Antikythera mechanism using 1500 LEGO blocks.

The climate "catastrophe"

Anar here...

I am currently participating in ACAT 2010 in India, Jaipur.

Last night we had a welcome dinner by LNM Institute of Information Technology, Jaipur.The organization and the food were really perfect. The weather also prepared a very entertaining surprise for us ;) Check up the video:

Singularity RDK

MS has just freely opened Singularity RDK for academic non-commercial use.

About Singularity

Singularity is a research project focused on the construction of dependable systems through innovation in the areas of systems, languages, and tools. We are building a research operating system prototype (called Singularity), extending programming languages, and developing new techniques and tools for specifying and verifying program behavior.

Advances in languages, compilers, and tools open the possibility of significantly improving software. For example, Singularity uses type-safe languages and an abstract instruction set to enable what we call Software Isolated Processes (SIPs). SIPs provide the strong isolation guarantees of OS processes (isolated object space, separate GCs, separate runtimes) without the overhead of hardware-enforced protection domains. In the current Singularity prototype SIPs are extremely cheap; they run in ring 0 in the kernel’s address space.

Singularity uses these advances to build more reliable systems and applications. For example, because SIPs are so cheap to create and enforce, Singularity runs each program, device driver, or system extension in its own SIP. SIPs are not allowed to share memory or modify their own code. As a result, we can make strong reliability guarantees about the code running in a SIP. We can verify much broader properties about a SIP at compile or install time than can be done for code running in traditional OS processes. Broader application of static verification is critical to predicting system behavior and providing users with strong guarantees about reliability.

Linus Torvalds: C++ is a horrible language

Linus expressed his self and his thoughts about C++ language in this topic (the full thread).
Very entertaining to read.
I also found a couple of polite comments from Andrei Alexandrescu on the subject.
