Nov. 30th, 2004 07:17 amа что случилось в 1985-м году? начало перестройки?
а что тогда в 1960-м? какая-то массовая урбанизация? шестидесятники? пресловутые "битлы"?
я не знаю источника, просто увидел у
никто не поможет вспоминить одну штуковину, которую я недавно видел? это было что-то вроде визуального портрета каждого дня (или даже каждого часа), составленного на основе (по-моему, ста) картинок из информационных лент.
мне кажется, я забыл поставить хоть какую-то метку на это дело, и вот результат.

[FREUD] umbilical cords gold plated
Nov. 30th, 2004 09:47 pm"Doting South Korean parents can preserve their child's umbilical cord in acrylic resin to make a personal seal or even have it gold plated.
In this Confucian society where family values are highly prized, suppliers also offer services for parents to have traditional Korean calligraphy brushes made from their child's hair.
Shim Jae-cheol of U&I Impression said the firm had gold-plated about 80 to 100 umbilical cords a month since starting business in August, with prices ranging from 80,000 won to 100,000 won ($76 to $96). It also offers mail order.
South Korean law allows parents to keep the umbilical cord of their children, although sales to a third party would be illegal.
Another supplier, Agamo, which makes calligraphy brushes made from human hair and preserves umbilical cords in personal seals, hopes to branch out to Japan. - You Had WHAT Gold-Plated?
jwz, как обычно, зажигает. можно, я без картинок в этот раз?

upd: но с другой стороны, я тут у
psycozaika такое видел, что все эти пуповины - в прямом смысле детский лепет.

Celebrities hounded by paparazzi may at last be able to emerge from behind their dark glasses without trepidation. By wearing a specially designed electronic badge that jams electronic cameras, they will be able to prevent photographers from taking unwanted pictures.The 'privacy protection system' being developed by Hewlett-Packard will allow the publicity-shy to transmit an infrared signal to any nearby compatible camera. Once activated, the camera’s software will automatically blur beyond recognition the face of anybody wearing the badge, New Scientist magazine reports.
The threat of being caught on a concealed webcam may also be reduced with technology developed by the Japanese inventors Hiromi Someya and Toshiki Ishino of Kanagawa which fuzzes out anyone caught in the shot.
As a web surfer zooms in on a scene, intelligent face-recognition software identifies faces coming into range. The picture resolution of the faces is progressively reduced, so that individual mugshots are never clearly captured. When the lens zooms back out the clarity returns.
Although the technology will offer some comfort to those who are assailed by the press against their will, it will do nothing for hundreds of aspiring starlets to solve the opposite problem — not being photographed enough.
To this end, Nokia is developing a new Global Positioning System with which phonecam users will be able to invite paparazzi to take their picture. By clicking a 'celebrity mode' button the camera sends out a Wi-Fi signal inviting anyone near by with a compatible camera to take a photograph.
Alongside its 'privacy protection system', Hewlett-Packard is developing a camera activated by a brooch or a clipped-on earring which can take a picture of someone without their knowledge.
The earring contains an accelerometer that detects a flick of the head and sends a wireless trigger signal to the camera to take a picture.
Badge keeps paparazzi out of the picture
