Mobile 3D: Smart phones will take 3D mainstream - http://www.technologyreview.com/communi...
"Flack's software synthesizes 3D scenes from existing 2D video by estimating the depth of objects using various cues; a band of sky at the top of a frame probably belongs in the far background, for example. It then creates pairs of slightly different images that the viewer's brain combines to produce the sensation of depth." - Tom Stocky

Everyone in #42! - Tom Stocky
Up way too early for a Saturday. But at least Gruyère is in store. The place, not the cheese. Well, likely lots of the cheese, too.
blue roses - "doubtful comforts" (first 3D camera-shift musicvideo!) - http://www.youtube.com/watch...
Wiggle stereoscopy is neat. This music video uses it to create a pretty surreal 3D effect. (Found this at http://laughingsquid.com/doubtfu...) - Tom Stocky
Introducing Google Translate for Animals - http://www.youtube.com/watch...
While teaching @avnis what little Italian I know, she asks, "How do I say 'I'm not with him'?" Not cool.

A.J. Jacobs' year of living biblically - http://www.ted.com/talks...

UC Davis student gives 'hella' new meaning - http://theaggie.org/article...
I like the examples: "Measurements for the universe could be indicated with the prefix at 1.4 hellameters, and the sun's energy, at 0.3 hellawatts." - Tom Stocky
I love the idea, but we need something for its reciprocal, 10^{-27}. I would propose the 'hello', just so we can pun on how many kitties are there in a HelloKitty - Oblomov
P&G "Kids" Winter Olympics commercial - http://www.youtube.com/watch...
Hard not to feel sentimental after watching this ... - Tom Stocky
