From 0 to 75mph in just three seconds — in just three strides, it’s faster than most of the world’s fastest super cars — the Smithsonian Channel describes the biomechanics behind why the cheetah is the world’s fastest land animal.

Follow this video up with this singular slow motion video of a cheetah running.

““In order to be able to make it, you have to put aside the fear of failing and the desire of succeeding. You have to do these things completely and purely without fear, without desire. Because things that we do without lust of result are the purest actions we shall ever take.” ― Alan Moore”

Using Google’s latest design language, this ‘Google Time’ concept by Adrian Maciburko is a nice idea for a super-simple take on the kinds of features such a device might have, including voice and touch interfaces. (via Look at how great a Google smartwatch could be - The Next Web)

How awesome would this be? A watch used to search for anything. A device where voice search truly makes sense.

The Windows RT Demo

The Windows RT Demo:

parislemon:

Watch the video at the bottom of the post. Just look at The Verge’s Ross Miller try to use that thing. Now imagine a normal, everyday consumer using it. Yes, this is the *final* build of Windows RT.

I’m believing more and more that we’re watching a total fucking nightmare for Microsoft unfold before our eyes.

I’m surprised he stayed so optimistic throughout his short video review, looked incredibly painful to use.

Tumblita 2.1.4 for iOS

Mon, 03 Sep 2012 18:46:13 -0400

Tumblita 2.1.4 for iOS:

tumblitaapp:

An update is now available in the iOS App Store! This version includes a major change in the way Tumblita downloads Tumblr data, so please be sure to tap the ‘Email Support’ button in the settings menu if you run into any problems.

This version adds support for viewing and editing private blogs, as well as a simple rich text editor. One thing you’ll notice is that the format option is no longer under the posting options, it is located in the settings menu. Most users use one or the other for every post, so this seemed logical.

(For some reason, the Tumblita icon is showing a gloss over it inside the App Store, it will disappear once downloaded.)

The inspiration for Heath Ledger's Joker

Mon, 30 Jul 2012 21:56:44 -0400

jkottke:

In 1979, singer Tom Waits appeared on The Don Lane Show in Australia. As you will soon be able to see (the action starts at 1:30), his appearance was the basis for Heath Ledger’s performance as The Joker in The Dark Knight.

Holy, uh, Batman, Batman!
