The summit of Everest, the world's highest peak at 29,035ft, takes centre stage above the 11,000ft vertical drop of the Kangshung Face, on the eastern side of the mountain. British filmmaker and adventure cameraman Leo Dickinson took the photo from the stratosphere during his record-breaking balloon flight over Everest.
With Nepal on the left of the frame, and Tibet on the right, the stunning skyline westward shows nine of the planet's highest summits.
These include Lhotse (27,940ft), Cho Oyu (26,906ft), Gyachung Kang (26,089 feet), Nuptse (25,850ft), Peak 38 (24, 904ft), Changtse (24,770ft), Shartse (24,471ft) and Ama Dablam (22,349ft).
The original photograph was shot in 1991 on the classic Kodachrome film - axed last month due to the rise of digital cameras. It was digitally remastered for the first time this week.
Best Buy is under fire for saying "Happy Eid al-Adha" in this year’s Black Friday ads. People seem upset over the fact that the company for years has made it a policy not to say "Happy Thanksgiving," "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Hanukkah" but prominently featured the Muslim festival of sacrifice on the cover of all its flyers. Big deal? No big deal? What are your thoughts?
"Merry Christmas" is off-limits, but "Happy Eid al-Adha" is apparently okay. Best Buy is raising eyebrows with a Black Friday ad which extends a holiday greeting to Muslims for the annual Eid-al-Adha holiday, or in English, the "Festival of Sacrifice," which coincides with the Thanksgiving weekend this year.
In Japan, being thin isn’t just the price you pay for fashion or social acceptance. It’s the law. So before the fat police could throw her in pudgy purgatory, Miki Yabe, 39, a manager at a major transportation corporation, went on a crash diet last month.
In the week before her company’s annual health check-up, Yabe ate 21 consecutive meals of vegetable soup and hit the gym for 30 minutes a day of running and swimming.

Bob Ross’ patient teaching and “wet on wet” painting techniques helped introduce thousands of amateur painters to the art world.
The “serious” art establishment might not have had much time for Ross—and the contempt was mutual—but even now, 14 years after his death, Ross’ iconic show The Joy of Painting still enjoys a large following in syndication. Let’s take a look at five things you might not know about the man who brought us so many happy little trees.

Hugh Hefner and his daughter Christie spent over 50 years building the image of Playboy magazine, which is now up for sale.
Iconix Brand Group, a fashion house, has expressed interest in purchasing Playboy Enterprises, but they have no interest in the famous magazine, its storehouse of interviews, or its photo archive of naked women. Competition from the internet has rendered those resources less valuable. On the other hand…
…the bunny ears brand hearkens back to an era when Playboy was widely read and epitomized the idea of the urbane sophisticate who appreciates the finer things that the swinging bachelor lifestyle promises.
So the company is seeking a partner in the publishing world to take the magazine and other Playboy-related assets. All they want is the logo.

Microsoft showed their "Release Cadence" roadmap at PDC09, which confirmed that the next major OS release is code named "Windows 8" and is scheduled for a 2012 release date. No other details were revealed but I guess those of you trying to extend XP’s usefulness past Windows 7 will have a long road ahead.
The schedule suggests Microsoft doesn't expect a radical delay in its OS releases and that it intends to resume a regular schedule for releases. Windows Vista's three-year delay from its original 2004 target stemmed from a decision to largely scrap existing work after security and modernization concerns prompted Microsoft to base Vista on Windows Server 2003's code.

The OpenOfficeMouse, or OOMouse, isn’t exactly the most attractive piece of hardware, but its creator claims that “16 buttons divided into two 8-button halves were the maximum number of buttons that could be efficiently used by feel alone.”
I guess if you take the thumb out of the equation with the analog stick, which Razer nor SteelSeries had the wherewithal to do, that’s probably true. They’ve set up profiles to make the OOMouse work with WoW, 3D Studio Max, Firefox, and many others — including, of course, the whole OpenOffice suite.

This UV wand eliminates the H1N1 virus from surfaces using safe UV-C light--the same technology trusted to sanitize hospital surfaces.
Tests performed by an independent antimicrobial testing laboratory showed the wand destroyed 99.98% of the H1N1 virus after a five-second exposure when held 3/4" above the contaminated surface. Also capable of killing MRSA, mold, and dust mites, the UV-C light penetrates viral and bacterial membranes and destroys their DNA, rendering the microorganisms incapable of reproduction and survival.
The hole is circular in shape, over 300 metres (984 ft) across and 125 metres (410 ft) deep. It was formed as a limestone cave system during the last glacial period when sea levels were much lower. As the ocean began to rise again, the caves flooded, and the roof collapsed.
Believed to be the world’s largest feature of its kind, the Great Blue Hole is part of the larger Belize Barrier Reef Reserve System, a World Heritage site of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)

This is the touchscreen version of the Rubik's cube that first challenged puzzle-solvers nearly 30 years ago. Instead of turning each face of the cube to line up colors, modern-day players need only lightly swipe a section of lights with a finger in the same manner as the original.
Touch sensors on all sides detect your finger and a motion detecting accelerometer determines which face is active; the colors change according to the direction of your finger's swipe. Its built-in memory saves your puzzle so you can pick up where you left off.
Using a technology developed for NASA to help astronauts adapt to extreme temperature fluctuations, these sheets prevent overheating and eliminate chills to create an optimal sleeping climate.
Imbedded in the sheets are millions of invisible microcapsules that absorb excess heat when you are hot and release the stored heat when you are cold, ensuring a comfortable bed temperature and humidity.
Unlike an electric blanket, the microcapsules adjust independently to an individual's climate, allowing two sleepers with different temperature preferences to remain comfortable throughout the night.
A new study says that how people perceive pictures of you online can impact your professional and social life. If this is true I think all of us need to go sort through our Facebook pictures.
"In an age dominated by social media where personal photographs are ubiquitous, it becomes important to understand the ways personality is communicated via our appearance," said study researcher Laura Naumann of Sonoma State University. "The appearance one portrays in his or her photographs has important implications for their professional and social life."

In the first days of their lives, French infants already cry in a different way to German babies. This was the result of a study by researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences in Leipzig, the Centre for Pre-language Development and Developmental Disorders (ZVES) at the University Clinic Würzburg, and the Laboratory of Cognitive Sciences and Linguistics at the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris.
In this study, the scientists compared recordings of 30 French and 30 German infants aged between two and five days old. While the French newborns more frequently produced rising crying tones, German babies cried with falling intonation. The reason for this is presumably the differing intonation patterns in the two languages, which are already perceived in the uterus and are later reproduced.
The numbers have been tallied by the folks at NPD and Windows 7 sales have so far exceeded Vista sales by 234%. It’s still too early to make big predictions but that is definitely an impressive start.
According to the NPD groups' weekly tracking service, Windows 7 software unit sales in the U.S. increased 234% over Windows Vista's first few days of sales. "A combination of factors impacted Windows 7 PC sales at the outset, but the trajectory of overall PC sales is very strong leading into the holiday season," said Stephen Baker at NPD.

This is a painting completed in February 2005. It was a Portrait Class project that I decided to finish in my spare time after the workshop. It probably took a total of around 65-75 hours to complete.
The small images are step by step photographs taken during the painting process, and the large image is the final painting after detail and skin texture are added with an eraser and colored pencil. The main colors are blocked in at the beginning, but refinement is withheld until the very end. Look for a more complete step by step article in an upcoming magazine issue~Dru Blair
Downloading and using software intended for law enforcement use only is a really bad idea. Seriously.
Yep, it's all out there on the internet, but if you use it to grab private data from someone else's computer chances are you're in for a world of legal hurt. It's one of the few pieces of software I can think of where the subsequent use is more illegal than the act of downloading it.
This is the same full-size miniature golf video game found in arcade parlors. Up to four competitors can play on two virtual courses using a real putter and real balls--you can explore the casino-themed Las Vegas course or the tiki torch-themed Paradise Island course on the large, high-definition 32" LCD.
Just like real courses, you can shoot your ball through obstacles, such as a secret door at the base of an Egyptian pyramid for a one-way route directly to the hole...
This is the first portable combination HDTV and DVD player. About the size of a compact netbook computer, the device has a sensitive external antenna and digital tuner that receives standard and high-definition broadcasts (up to 720p resolution), then optimizes the signal for display on the 7" TFT display.
The failure of Google's online calculator and Excel's apparent inability to give correct answers to simple calculations are both well-known problems among programmers, but these aren't really bugs in the normal sense of the word. Instead they're just a consequence of the fact that computers suck at maths.
A wearable conditioning device that detects if you're smiling and provides pain feedback if you're not. Frowning creates intense pain but a full smile leaves you pain free!
This is the pocket-sized device that projects a 60" image from an iPod, iPhone, or any video source with composite outputs. About the size of a candy bar, the unit projects bright, clear images and pivots up to 90º to display content on a wall or ceiling.
The projector's LED uses Digital Light Processing Technology--the same as digital cinema projectors--to produce sharp 480x320 resolution with a 1000:1 contrast ratio and a 3:2 aspect ratio.
This is the watch that vividly displays 120 of your favorite digital photographs on its bright, 1 1/2" screen. It stores pictures in its built-in memory and displays them at 128 x 128 pixel resolution. The watch can display pictures as a slide show or you can manually advance pictures.
This is the authentic Fisher AG-7 Space Pen that accompanied NASA astronauts on Apollo 11, the first manned space flight to the moon in 1969. The pen's thixotropic ink is sealed in a pressurized cartridge that enables it to write in temperatures from -30º F to 250º F, underwater, at any angle--even upside down--and, most importantly to astronauts, in zero gravity.
The pen has a chrome-plated brass barrel and a metal pocket clip. To commemorate the 40th anniversary of this historic space mission, the barrel is laser engraved with iconic images as well as the names of the Apollo 11 astronauts: Commander Neil Armstrong, Lunar Module Pilot Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, and Command Module Pilot Michael Collins. The retractable pen has an ultra-hard tungsten carbide ball that writes a medium line in black ink and lasts up to three times longer than ordinary ballpoints.
This is the slotless toaster that can toast any type of bread, regardless of its thickness. Since bread is placed directly on the heated flatbed surface--not inside narrow slots--you can toast thick bagels or croissants, Texas toast, or baguettes.
This is the analog watch with an undetectable camcorder, so you'll always have a camera ready to capture a chance celebrity sighting or a pet's impromptu antics. The camera's lens is the size of a pinhole and is located at the two-o'clock position, yet the watch's hands never obscure the lens.
The watch's 1.3 MP camera records video at 640 x 480 resolution, storing up to 12 hours of AVI-formatted video onto its built-in 4 GB flash memory. The microphone is located on the outer case. Citizen 2035 quartz movement provides reliable timekeeping.

This is the kit that allows you to create a hologram of any small, solid object. The kit includes a small model car (you can use any number of similarly-sized objects) that is placed in front of the holographic film plate.
A laser diode illuminates the object and creates an interference pattern that is captured on the holographic film, creating a three-dimensional image of the object.
An intentionally blank page is a page that is devoid of content, and may be unexpected. Such pages may serve purposes ranging from place-holding to space-filling and content separation.
Sometimes, these pages carry a notice such as, "This page is intentionally left blank." Such notices typically appear in printed works, such as legal documents, manuals and exam papers, in which the reader might otherwise suspect that the blank pages are due to a printing error and where missing pages might have serious consequences.

For the past seven years, almost as long as President Bush has been in Washington, an Iranian-American home developer has lived in a scaled-down version of the presidential mansion in suburban Atlanta. But soon enough, change is coming to Fred Milani's replica of the White House, an outsized casualty of the national housing crisis.
This has got to be the worst disguise ever: Carroll, Iowa police apprehended two men who decided to color their faces with permanent marker in order to disguise themselves!
Police received a call Friday night that two men with hooded sweatshirts and painted faces had tried to break into a man’s home in Carroll, Iowa.
When police stopped a vehicle matching the caller’s description blocks away, they were stunned by the men’s disguises.
There were no ski masks or stockings pulled over their heads; instead, Matthew Allan McNelly, 23, and Joey Lee Miller, 20, streaked their faces with permanent black marker.

Although it is unable to use "subspace" frequencies for instantaneous interstellar communication, this is the Star Trek communicator that serves as an internet phone. Faithful to the original design first seen in the original series, it plugs into a Mac or a PC running Windows XP, Vista, or Windows 7 using its built-in USB cable, allowing you to use it to make internet phone calls (requires broadband internet connection and your preferred voice-over-IP software).
Widely claimed to have served as the inspiration for the modern cell phone, the communicator "chirps" when flipped open, one of the 21 included sound clips from the original series.
In 1996, a professional photographer named Charles O’rear took a photograph of a landscape around 3028 Fremont Dr. in Sonoma County, Northern California. The photograph, names “Bliss”, was later used as the default desktop image for the XP Windows ‘Luna’ theme, and became fairly popular. Later on it was planted with grapevines…
October 14, 2009, the 30th annual awards ceremony of the W. Eugene Smith Memorial Fund took place at the Asia Society in New York City. Lu Guang (卢广) from People’s Republic of China won the $30,000 W. Eugene Smith Grant in Humanistic Photography for his documentary project “Pollution in China.”
During WWII many countries developed gas masks for animals. And dogs in particular had various integral roles during the war. For the US military, the German Shepherd was typically the dog of choice, and was used for patrol duty, scouting, anti-sabotage duty, message delivery and even sometimes mine detection. Because of their many uses during wartime, gas masks were needed to protect dogs as well as their human counterparts.
