The real reason MegaUpload was shut down?

abaldwin360:

In December of 2011, it was reported by Digital Music News that the creators of MegaUpload were rolling out plans for a new cloud based music service that had the potential to change the music industry.

Called Megabox, it would have created an alternative to record labels as a means for…

DuckDuckGo

Hate the new changes with Google?

Try DuckDuckGo. DDG has been my default search engine for almost half a year. It offers users more privacy and integrates well with major browsers.

DDG doesn’t track you at all. http://donttrack.us/

Off course when DDG results are not enough for me I’ll change to google which is easy by using !g on DDG.

Badass machine climateadaptation: Meet the Versabar VB10000, a $100-million oil-rig lifter. It lifts up rigs that are sunk in the ocean. Apparently there are 1,800 nasty oil rigs rotting and rusting in U.S. waters. From PopSci: Salvaging a downed oil platform takes months, as a team of divers cuts apart the rig and a derrick hauls each piece to the surface. The VB10000 can remove an entire rig in a few hours, for a quarter of the price. Last fall, Versabar’s $100-million monster completed its first lift off the coast of Louisiana. Divers connected hooks to the platform trusses, cut the platform legs away, and four hoists picked the whole thing up. About as wide as a football field and as tall as a 25-story building, the VB10000 is desperately needed—U.S. regulators have identified 1,800 rigs that must be removed within 10 years.

approachingsignificance: This is a real image taken by the robotic spacecraft Cassini of Saturn eclipsing the sun (via). Amazing.  There is a little blue dot on the left side of the image just above the bright main rings.  That is Earth, approximately a billion miles away. Not psychology related, just an incredible image.  Click for high resolution to see Earth. View high resolution

Yorkshire Renaissance Pavilion  

Various Architects’ project “Yorkshire Diamond” was a finalist in the open international competition for a mobile pavilion for Yorkshire Forward. The Yorkshire Diamond Pavilion is a unique and iconic venue that is designed to represent Yorkshire Forward at events around Yorkshire and Humber or further abroad.  

The project is an attraction in itself with a striking exterior in the form of inflatable tubes arranged in the atomic structure of diamonds. The 20 x 26 x 10 meter diamond grid volume is mined out to form a cavernous interior space reminiscent of the coal mines of Yorkshire. Light and air shafts pierce the structure providing natural light and ventilation. At night the translucent shafts and outer skin radiate light in all colors and directions like a diamond twinkling in the sunlight.  

A focus on flexibility gives the pavilion multiple configurations which allow it to be used for everything from small gatherings to large conferences or public presentations. The voluminous internal space will surprise and delight when installed in close quartered public squares. The pavilion can also be turned ‘inside out’ to open up a large covered area to open outdoor spaces to create the ultimate mobile venue for concerts or big-screen events.  

Innovative sustainable features that can generate energy during transport and while installed, together with lightweight recyclable materials will demonstrate Yorkshire Forward’s commitment to the environment wherever the pavilion is situated. Creative new uses of existing proven technologies make this pavilion design possible to produce and operate for a reasonable price.
