Joost™? What’s that??

Joost™ is a new way of watching TV on the internet, which uses new and established technologies to provide the best of both the internet and TV worlds. We’re in the process of making it as TV-like as we can, with programmes, channels and adverts. You can also see some things that we think will enhance the TV experience: searching for programmes and channels, for example, as well as social features like chat. There are many more new features to come!

Goodbye, television. Hello, Joost

The Handwriting Wizard Self Test is an online tool that allows you to quickly analyze your friend’s handwriting or even your own handwriting. The computer will generate an accurate in-depth report about the personality of the writer.

Ready for the test? Begin the analysis!

When you’re traveling by plane or train or using your laptop away from your desk, it’s sometimes awkward to find a convenient place to mouse around. Attach the Logisys Optical Finger Mouse to your finger with its Velcro strap, and you can easily navigate your screen by pointing its 800dpi laser sensor at whatever surface is handy. Short of ditching the mouse altogether, it’s ideal for people on the go, working equally well on either the left or right hand.

Logisys Optical Finger Mouse makes the world your mouse pad!

The mouse’s unique design brings the thumb-operated left/right buttons and scroll wheel closer to your work, letting you keep the device attached to your finger as you type. Rather than moving your hand to grab the mouse, it’s always literally close at hand. Then you can keep your hands on the keyboard, mousing around without moving them away because even the keyboard can be used as a mousing surface. Nice.

Looks like its $19.99 price is not an exorbitant amount to pay to change the context in which a mouse can be used.

Here are 13 of the worst slogan translations, which when translated into other languages, it means totally different things, I mean the weird things. These are the funny English!

1. When Parker Pen marketed a ball-point pen in Mexico, its ads were supposed to have read, “It won’t leak in your pocket and embarrass you.” The company thought that the word “embarazar” (to impregnate) meant to embarrass, so the ad read: “It won’t leak in your pocket and make you pregnant.”
2. Scandinavian vacuum manufacturer Electrolux used the following in an American campaign: “Nothing Sucks like an Electrolux.”
3. Clairol introduced the “Mist Stick,” a curling iron, into Germany only to find out that “mist” is slang for manure. Not too many people had use for the “Manure Stick.

This is a case of a photographer photographs another photographer.

The following photographs were taken by photographer Hans van de Vorst at the Grand Canyon, Arizona. The Following descriptions are his own. The identity of the photographer in the photos is unknown.

Description:

I was simply stunned seeing this guy standing on this solitary rock in the Grand Canyon. The canyon’s depth is 900 meters here. The rock on the right is next to the canyon and safe.

Watching this guy on his thong sandals, with a camera and a tripod, I asked myself 3 questions:

1. How did he climb that rock?
2. Why not taking that sunset picture on that rock to the right, which is perfectly safe? and…
3. How will he get back, safely?

After the sun set behind the canyon’s horizon he packed his stuff (having only one hand available) and prepared himself for the jump. This took about 2 minutes. At that point he had the full attention of the crowd…

After that, he jumped on his thong sandals…the canyon’s depth is 900 meters here…

Now you can see that the adjacent rock is higher so he tried to land lower, which is quite steep and tried to use his one hand to grab the rock.

We’ve come to the end of this little story. Look carefully at the photographer. He has a camera, a tripod and also a plastic bag, all on his shoulder or in his left hand. Only his right hand is available to grab the rock and the weight of his stuff is a problem. He lands low on this flip flops both his right hand and right foot slips away…at that moment I take this shot.

He pushes his body against the rock. He waits for a few seconds, throws his stuff on the rock, climbs and walks away….huh??!!
