Gmail's revolutionary technology

Introducing the Gmail motion that will make the mouse, key pads and touch screen obsolete. The mindblowing new invention will shake up the way we communicate with computers. Here's a short video of the new craze in town. Listen carefully...



These almost got me believing in  eureka moment until i checked on the date and the comments in youtube. Nice one Google but try a little harder next time.

What yah know, this could be true in the near future. But until then, you can practice on the body positions or Gmail actions as shown below.

Japan's great wave

The Tsunami devastation in Japan last friday is maybe the most recorded worst calamity of such magnitude in world's history. It's as if seeing a disaster-themed-movie of hollywood in every varried perspectives so graffic that you wouldn't want an encore.

The earthquake prepared Japan was caught off guard to the big waves' wrath. The 8.9 shake magnitude has not hurt the skyscrappers of Japan but the unexpected tsumani in just a short span of time washed out any structures that stand on its way.

Everybody's nose seemed to be on this because this could happen any time in any parts of the world. It is understood that people living near the shorelines up to this writing, have paranoia of  the great wave that might swallow them whole.

Tsunami is from the the Japanese words tsu - harbor and nami - wave. There are many other local names for tidal waves (especially those countries included in the Pacific ring of fire), but the Japanese version seemed to be the most popolar and widely used.

I suspect that like the earthquake, tidal wave was not strange to Japan even in the olden times. Proof to this is the classic masterpiece (shown above) by Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai. Its a painting in a woodblock called "The great wave off Kanagawa". This is one of my favorite Japanese art styles aside from the more modern manga art. This is included in the series of prints depicting the different perspective of Mt. Fuji in different seasons.

I used to admire with outmost amazement this print but with the recent devastation in Japan, it is forever changed. Never did i imagine that this print has an apocalyptic message written all over it and it's far worst than what's painted.

How to save a baby up a burning building

What would you do if you're trapped in the 3rd floor(40 ft) of a burning building carrying an 8-month old baby with just an open window as an exit?

a. toss the baby out side the window and hope for the best;
b. wait for superman to help an rescue you;
c. let the baby crawl through the fire and save you self;
d. none of the above.

On real situation, this could be really though, but it did happened somewhere in Germany. And the answer is letter A. When running out of option, the mind would run wild and crazy, the man (uncle) who is carrying the baby kissed the it one more time and hurled to the policeman at the ground with arm outstreched  holding his jacket like a net to catch the less than a year old infant.

Miraculuosly the baby survived unharmed.

And so is the man tossing the baby, together with her daughter. Unfortunately the baby's bother and two more cousins did not survived the fire. The parents of the baby was safe after they were hospitalized from burns.

Here's the actual scene:
