You read that right. This one was spotted by Reddit user – Classic1977. No details are known about the specifications of the machine being advertised, but by the looks of it, it is an Acer netbook which promises to provide – HD Internet (whatever the fuck that means). Don’t trust me? Have a look at it yourself.
What next will they start offering? The internet in 3D ? And while we are discussing all things HD, have a look at the following advert of a contact lens product which promises to somehow magically let your eyes perceive the world in HD. *Facepalm* Have a look at the advert below.
Google’s homepage has the Doodle on right now [ 23:36 London time right now on June 15, 2011 ] the full lunar eclipse. The official Google blog reports that this Full Lunar Eclipse broadcast is in association with Slooh Space Camera. To quote Google:
Slooh will host a live mission interface using Google App Engine that lets anyone not lucky enough to live in certain areas (South America, Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia) take part in this rare astronomical event. It’s equipped with audio narrations from real-life astronomers so you can hear a firsthand, expert account of the event.
The event can also be viewed on Youtube [ Link here ].
But if you are unfortunate enough to discover about this quite late, don’t worry. Techkeyla has the solution. Right from the core of Google’s image cache [ inserted geek word, check ], I have managed to pull through this awesome lunar eclipse transition picture. The moon goes from white, to dark, to eclipsed, to red and back to white. Check out the image below.
OK, so the width of my page allows only 500 pixels. So you’d need to click on the visible line to enlarge it to appreciate it in its full beautiful form. And you’re welcome
