Comment Shoot 3D movies for under $1000 (Score 1) 96

Apparently "GoPro" camera's have made it possible to shoot your own 3D film's, on their website in states: "The 3D HERO System allows you to combine two 1080p HD HERO cameras into a single housing to record 3D video and photos while simultaneously recording in 2D. A synchronization cable plugs into the rear HERO Port on both cameras to join them together, enabling both cameras to record video and photos in perfect synchronization." So 2 of their 1080p HD camera's would run you around $270 each, plus the 3D HERO System that is actually quite simple and only costs $100 plus whatever mount's you may want. GoPro also just acquired "CineForm", which will allow you to edit the footage for free.

Cool, I stand corrected then, I'd still like to know who started the whole $12 billion rumor/urban legend and caused me to make such an outrageously incorrect statement. So would it be more accurate to say pencil's were used my astronauts and cosmonauts alike at one point until they were determined to be dangerous to be used in space, and Fisher created the first space pen for $1.5 mil?

Someone that was on the Colbert Report the other night, claiming to be a ``historian`` of the American space program, was saying something like Space X could build everything needed to launch a rocket into space for the same price NASA spends on building just a launch tower, but NASA also needed $12 billion and a decade to make a pen that worked in 0 gravity... and the Russians just used a pencil, classic.

I don't know if it's dumber to successfully pay good money to be able to walk around guided only by what you can see on a 3 inch screen behind your texts or if you were fooled by the "freeloader" app? Who or what is a freeloader anyways? I guess you can't say "Pirated Android App Shames Pirates" or "Freeloading Android App Shames Freeloaders". Maybe "freeloader's" and pirate's don't want to be associated with one another.

The gigantic creature roamed North America and east Asia between about 65 million and 99 million years ago. Named in honour of Zhucheng as Zhuchentyrannus magnus, this animal was about 11 metres long, 4 metres tall and it weighed about 6 tonnes. The research team was led by Dr. David Hone, from University College Dublin school of biology and environmental science."

dusqi writes: InsideFacebook reports on a new website called LikeAudience which profiles the personality, IQ, life satisfaction, and demographics of who likes various Facebook pages. For example, people who like Bill Nye the Science Guy are on average high in IQ, whereas people who like Cheryl Cole are low. People who like Sarah Palin tend to be in a relationship, whereas people who like Joe Biden tend to be single. LikeAudience is aimed at social media marketers, but it's fun to browse too.
