Facebook <3 china

Well turns out Facebook is blocked in china (can't even use proxy's) as well as almost every other social medium.
SO if you need to contact me or just want a chat (will be nice to speak to people) please don't hesitate to email me @ zac.origen@gmail.com

Oh and if you can, please, please post my posts to Facebook as I currently have no access.

Why google+ will rape Facebook.

Many of you have said that google+ won't takeover from Facebook because Facebook is too big. And that's a valid point. HOWEVER in this small entry I would like to clarify the plausibility of facebooks demise with the implementation of google+

For this argument we're going to take this step by step.
Let's look at where google+ was when it started.

When google+ was launched as beta it was exclusive. You could join by invite only. Everyone went crazy. Millions of people flocked to the front page of google+ hoping to get inside this new domain. A domain which is so unknown that guessing it's layout would be absurd.
This attracted the tech bloggers and gurus (e.g. Mark Zuckeberg) which really brought the internets attention to this new "social network".
It was so sought after in fact that invites were even being sold on eBay for as much as $1,400
And within the first 24 days massed a following of 20,000,000 users

In comparison it took facebook 1152 days to get to the same ammount of unique users and it took twitter 1035 days.

But where are we now?
google+ has become quite popular topping ten million users so far. Anyone with a google+ account will now start to see their friends and family slowly start popping up on the network. It has become a constant hash tag on twitter with at least ten tweets all using #google+ per second.

But what potential does this site have? Will it ever take over from Facebook making Facebook the new myspace. A website with almost no visitors that has to resort to advertising just to pay the server hosting costs?

Unfortunately there is no detonate answer but what I can give you is My own impression on the networks future. Here's what I think could happen.

google+, being a google product has the ability to be integrated into the mobile market. And i'm not just talking about a downloadable app, I"m loony about deep integration with mobile OS in all android devices regardless of age. Google own about 30% of the mobile phone market through their OS 'android'. That alone gives them up to 400 million people in the next five years. These users are going to be the tool of persuasion for google to get a hold of the majority of the market.
These G+ users will be the frontline in the conversion of Facebook account holders purely due to peer pressures.

But the google crusaders won't be just android users. These people, due to the bridge built by googles dev team, can be iOS (iphone, ipad ect.) users too.
Just for arguments sake if 70% of iOS users and android users had a google+ account with access on their phones that would be up to 60% of the global mobile market on google+

At this point it's just a matter of time before the rest of the Facebook users fall to google+ due to a Barron, empty Facebook.

Now don't get me wrong, this won't be instantaneous but it will be big and it won't be more than five years.



All of this information doesn't even include deep integration into other services such as YouTube and the browser google chrome.

And on that note if you liked this post please share and +1 it

iphone 5? just another rumor with some amazing graphics

is this the next iphone? probably not but an amazing design none the less.

would you like to see this as the next iphone?

THE INTERNET, this is why we can't have nice things.

the internet was created to be a social medium and file sharing space between people and countries. what happened?

i don't know about you but the philosophy behind this isn't as deep as the poster would like it to be.

so i leave this question up to you people of the internet. ponder this deeply. post thoughts in the comments if you wish but think, if you ate yourself would you get twice as big or disappear entirely?

sometimes sexual exploration should not be posted on the internet

as this couple from florida found out sometimes askig the internets for help with your sex life could be quite detremental to your relationship (or ego)

having said that, jump to http://creativesextoys.com/component/content/article/1-for-men/3-lego-masturbator.html to see a real, working lego sex toy created by some lonely people.

i'm no good at painting but this representation of what the "lego auto masturbator's" designer may look like:

portal, it can be impossible

I've been getting into portal 2 for the last few weeks (don't own it but watch playthroughs as i don't have enough money (really want it though))

i have been quite interested though of the impossibilities of the portal world. one such impossibilities is shown bellow (click on image to maximise)

so want that game

if dogs were fonts.

this representation designed and created by " fuck yeah dementia!!1! " is total awesome for your eyeballs

angry ass birds is epic!

if only all fan art was this cool

sleep cake. dont eat and drive

not kidding, this small snack found throughout the U.S. is chock full (excuse the expression) with melatonin.

a natural drug found in the human body used to send you to sleep.

a warning on the label reads that eating more than 3 a day can be deadly.

this cake is not a lie.

gameitis- it's worst form

Game Arthritis is a gallery by Matteo Bittanti and IOCOSE

his volunteers appear twisted and deformed depending on their chosen consoles

"What are the real effects of digital gaming to our fingers, hands, and bodies? The conformity of interfaces produces deformity. It’s a fact. Call it “the reality of the virtual”. Prolonged vicarious aggression lead to permanent physical disfiguration. Gaming activities produce real consequences for the users. Research has been conducted for years in several clinical laboratories across the globe but doctors and researchers are not willing to share their findings with the general population. However, evidence of new technologically-induced diseases is now becoming known outside of the scientific community. These pathologies - labeled collectively “Game arthritis” - are officially not “recognized”. The authorities have dismissed this hidden epidemic as “mass hysteria”. But according to some scientists - who speak under condition of anonymity fearing ostracization - these undiagnosed disorders are the psychopathology of ludic societies. Digital technology is indeed damaging users’ fingers, arms, postures… Even their DNA is compromised. Game arthritis is not supposed to exist. Game companies do not want to talk about it. Clinicians and dermatologists do not want to discuss it. Labs refuse to run tests. And yet, thousands of players manifest similar symptoms. Thousands of players feel real pain in their bodies. Affected subjects are not delusional. Photos and images are beginning to circulate on the internet. We have collected a few samples."

I don't think these sunglasses stop attention being drawn to yourself.

Your boring conversations kill bees

Recent research in a lone Swiss lab has found that the frequency give off by a mobile phone has the ability (100% of the time) to send bees within a few meters of the phone into a frenzy where they will become dazed, fly away from the hive and suddenly have the equivalent of a heart attack mid flight.




This may be the reason for the large amount of bee deaths around the world.

Good news, it's been reported that bees are building a tolerance to the signals.

Bad news: if the bee had to die it would be way cooler if they exploded

IPod nano next gen spotted

LEAKED! New iPod nano Design leaked by Chinese manufacturers?

It looks like the next iPods are set for launch with a new rear only facing camera at 1.7mp. Personally I think that is too small for apple. What i'm expecting is at least something around 3mp as they have with previous products. Who knows.


Also, you may notice the lack of e ever popular clip that we all are accustom to. Rumors have been flying around stating that there will not be a clip. Personally i'm expecting a magnetic clip. Giving the consumers the choice to clip or not to clip.
But only time will tell

Apple beats fanboys, rape may be next on agenda.

We have all seen them. Cues going back a block on the streets of Melbourne or Sydney ect on apple launch day.
But, the iPad 2, well that's taken it to a whole new level

On a recent launch day in Beijing for the iPad 2 wifi only model (delayed due to Japan tsunami and manufacturing delays) a scuffle broke out between two Chinese 'fanboys' over who was more deserving to get an iPad 2 first.
Needless to say, apple weren't taking any violence on such an important day.

As any dedicated employee wanting to not damage the spotless "ahem" reputation of their company would do they broke up the fight... With a 4mm steel bar.

The resulting pictures are the aftermath of the fight.













On a side note, the steel bar was powder coated black as apple are currently having issues producing white versions of their ifanboy bludgener due for release in November








"business as usual I guess"

One quote from a witness indicates this:
Sanlitun Apple Store bloodshed, because too many people queuing waiting suddenly closed shop, where the weather is so hot multi-line Burongyia, Apple stunned party to a foreigner and a Chinese man actually hands-on, people with the scene confirmed the man was wounded also the guests lined up to buy Apple products.We look at the quality of foreigners, but also that, to earn the money we have in China is also the name of our people.

If you understand that then you are a god

Johnny depp can't see his own film in 3D

In a recent tweet, the Pirates of the Caribbean star Johnny Depp stated that due to an abnormality in the shape of his eyes, he unfortunately can't see any 3D films in, well, 3D.


3D lenses angle the light coming through the glasses in a way that creates an overlapping image using the two captured pictures or 'plains'.
If the viewers eyes aren't pointing to the right degrees the lenses won't angle the light at the correct angle.

This unfortunate syndrome can only be rectified through eye surgery. (won't include an image for that one folks) But not all hope is lost! The Pirates star CAN view his most recent film in 3D! All he needs is prescription light angling glasses costing roughly $3m
Come on captain Jack Sparrow! You have all of that Aztec gold and you won't even dish out $3m!
