To expand the consciousness of it viewers by showing them what goes on in a world wide scale through use of high resolution time-lapse cinematography and precise time-remapping.
As it takes the viewer on a magical journey through time on earth, it will provide an honest depiction of life on earth where the viewer can access the beauty of nature like it’s never been seen. We hope that people will be inspired by the majesty of the world and will take action to save our precious resources so that future generations can usher in a higher way of living and consciousness.
Great Wall of Facebook: The Social Network’s Plan to Dominate the Internet — and Keep Google Out
Posted using ShareThis
Larry Page should have been in a good mood. It was the fall of 2007, and Google’s cofounder was in the middle of a five-day tour of his company’s European operations in Zurich, London, Oxford, and Dublin. The trip had been fun, a chance to get a ground-floor look at Google’s ever-expanding empire. But this week had been particularly exciting, for reasons that had nothing to do with Europe; Google was planning a major investment in Facebook, the hottest new company in Silicon Valley.
Originally Google had considered acquiring Facebook—a prospect that held no interest for Facebook’s executives—but an investment was another enticing option, aligning the Internet’s two most important companies. Facebook was more than a fast-growing social network. It was, potentially, an enormous source of personal data. Internet users behaved differently on Facebook than anywhere else online: They used their real names, connected with their real friends, linked to their real email addresses, and shared their real thoughts, tastes, and news. Google, on the other hand, knew relatively little about most of its users other than their search histories and some browsing activity.
Inspired by the behavior of the human eye, Boston College computer scientists have developed a technique that lets computers see objects as fleeting as a butterfly or tropical fish with nearly double the accuracy and 10 times the speed of earlier methods.
The linear solution to one of the most vexing challenges to advancing computer vision has direct applications in the fields of action and object recognition, surveillance, wide-base stereo microscopy and three-dimensional shape reconstruction, according to the researchers, who will report on their advance at the upcoming annual IEEE meeting on computer vision.

BC computer scientists Hao Jiang and Stella X. Yu, who developed a novel solution of linear algorithms to streamline the computer’s work, will present the team’s findings at the IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition 2009, which takes place June 20-25 in Miami.

Carry Small, Live Large
Intel Labs showed off 45 research projects at its research day event yesterday — projects that ran the gamut from energy efficiency to digital living room applications. We’ve already written about the linked virtual worlds for scientists and the Dispute Finder plug-in that highlights disputed facts in stories. Here’s a handful of other interesting projects the company showed off.
1. cut the amount of bandwidth consumed by voice-over-Internet protocol (VOIP) calls on a WiMax network
2. promote netbooks – Carry Small, Live Large
3. making computers more trustworthy
4. encrypted Wi-Fi
5. Privacy Scope
6. improving speech recognition accuracy by combining it with face recognition
7. Cable Beach is aimed at allowing users to log into a variety of virtual worlds and online games without re-entering all of their identity data or credit card information

Ice Age Trigger
A series of cataclysmic volcanic eruptions gave the planet its polar ice caps, and kicked the ancient climate into a freeze-thaw cycle of ice ages that persists to this day, according to a new theory….
….Steven Cather of the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology and a team of researchers now think they know why. They argue that a series of massive volcanic eruptions spanning nearly all of present-day Mexico, as well as parts of New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, and Idaho launched vast amounts of ash into the atmosphere.
