Naughty-disney-camera

Who would have thought that an ordinary disney kiddie camera could contain images not suitable for kids. That’s what Andrew Graham had in mind when he bought the camera as last minute christmas gift for his son. They realized the naughty pictures when their son took few photos and showed them that there’s “unknown” girl in the memory card. In the future, they will make sure to screen the camera first before giving it to their kid.

What they didn’t realize was that the camera was repackaged and placed back on the shelf. So tyically Wal-mart.

“It’s pretty much x-rated. It’s not what you want to wake up on the christmas morning and have your 9 year old see,” said Andrew Graham while chuckling.

Space Photography with only $80 camera and latex balloons

balloon camera

The Meoteotik team at IES La Bisbal school in Catalonia is comprised of four students namely Gerard Marull Paretas, Sergi Saballs Vila, Marta Gasull Morcillo and Jaume Puigmiquel Casamort. The Four students under the guidance of their teacher Jordi Fanals Oriol has achieved what seems to be impossible. They managed to take photos of the Earth’s Stratosphere with a $80 Nikon camera suspended on two latex balloons with electronic sensors.

To make the project possible, they used latex balloons filled with helium enough to carry the camera and sensors. They only expected the balloon to go up to 30,000ft, they were surprised that the balloon exceeded the expected altitude. They tracked the balloon’s location with the help of Google Earth and the radio receiver. Finally the balloon went down after exceeding 100,000ft. To their luck, the sensors and memory card was still working when they found it after 10km drive.

Come to think of it, just imagine how much money NASA spent to accomplish that feat. Nobody should try messing with the balloon or you might find yourself on the earth’s stratosphere.

John Mayer got dumped for being such a “Twit”

jennifer dumps john meyer

I’m not really a fan of John Mayer and Jennifer Aniston but I find the nature of their break-up rather interesting. It was reported that they broke up over his twitter obssession. There’s no official news about the said breakup. Anyway I checked out John Mayer’s Twitter and he’s pretty active in twittering.

Can’t blame Twitter for being so damn addicting compared to banging Jennifer Aniston. Maybe the guy’s looking for an easy way out instead of coming up with creative excuses that he’s tired of banging her and in the market for some fresh lay.

John Mayer’s Twitter: http://twitter.com/johncmayer

People claiming to be friends of the actress have told Star magazine that she finished the affair after discovering Mayer, 31, spent hours on the networking website, despite telling her he was too busy to get in touch with her.
The pair started dating in April 2008, but have broken up several times. However, they appeared inseparable at the Oscars last month.

A source claimed Aniston decided Mayer was not committed enough to her and called time on their romance having found hourly updates on his Twitter page.
The source said: “John suddenly stopped calling her or returning her emails and when she would finally catch up with him, he’d say: ‘I’ve been so busy with work. I’m sorry I haven’t had time to call you back.”

Even so, shortly after Aniston’s call, Mayer’s Twitter update read: ‘This heart didn’t come with instructions.’
