Seitz 6x17 - 160 megapixels

2seitz6x17front

We are only at the beginnings of digital photography - Most cameras are only now approaching the resolving power of film.  What will be really interesting is when imaging devices become readily available that far surpass what traditional cameras have been able to capture.  Take this one for example.  It takes panoramas which are 21,500 pixels wide.  I'm guessing this will be inside my cellphone one day - maybe not too far from now...

Need Money? Desperate? Sell your soul...

Freeland

Things have not been too well on my end and i surfed the web like a men does when he sees no way out. After I sat in my kitchen ODing on drinks and medication I thought there wouldn't be a solution to this one till I surfed this site.... the happy customer testimonials were reassuring and I thought f*7%K it.
Then I remembered the Devil’s Advocate quote:

LOOK, but don't touch, TOUCH, but don't taste, TASTE, but don't swallow.

Well, I touched .. I did taste ... and sold my soul. It does taste good.... reassuring...  I am not alone.

We want your soul.com

Flip Clock Screensaver

Clock

It's a screensaver (I know, whatever, but this one is cool) that makes your shitty dell look like a cool flip clock.  Oh and it's free. I saw this on the screen of a workstation in Seoul and I knew I had to find out how to get it on my laptop... and Lo, I found it at last.

P.S. It's made by a very cool Japanese individual named Yuji Adachi who also has an online record shop called Disk Reunion.

Download Guy Saves The World's Music From Terrorism

Link to an interview with a guy who has downloaded 900,000 songs.  He's aiming to download a copy of every song ever recorded, to save them from islamic terrorists who are going to destroy them.  I get the feeling the whole interview is made up, but see what you think.  I like the sound of his Download Den anyway...
