Very cool!

iomikron:

This is roughly the view of our neighbouring brightest galaxies if you were 20 million light years away from ‘home’ (red dot). A closer view reveals the closest neighbours as well. In a very small distance there are two galaxies surrounding the Milky Way, the Large and the Small Mangelanic Clouds.

Howdy neighbors! Well, stellar neighbors, anyway.

Love to see this kind of creation from our Tumblr friends, by the way. Not that I don’t have love for the whole internet, but fellow Tumblr Science folks are sort of like the Magellanic Clouds of our blogging Milky Way. Just that much better than the rest of the galaxies.

So go meet them all, or something.

Every gigantic corporate juggernaut has an IT department to keep the company safe from viruses and teach upper management how to send a message via “electronic mail.” Each IT Set includes all the necessary plastic parts to build a cubicle fit for a computer geek: three walls, desk, captain’s chair, CPU, flat panel monitor, keyboard, server, laptop and a 2-3/4″ (7 cm) tall posable sysadmin

RAND Corporation’s 1954 Prediction Of The Size Of The Home Computer In 2004

Scientists from the RAND Corporation have created this model to illustrate how a “home computer” could look like in the year 2004. However the needed technology will not be economically feasible to the average home. Also the scientists readily admit that the computer will require not yet invented technology to actually work, but 50 years from now scientific progress is expected to solve these problems. With the teletype interface and the Fortran language, the computer will be easy to use.

I’m happy they were wrong.

CSS3 Test - How does your browser score for its CSS3 support?

CSS3 Test - How does your browser score for its CSS3 support?:

thechangelog:

If you’d like to know how your browser scores for its CSS3 support, you have to check out Lea Verou’s CSS3 Test. She announced the project yesterday on her blog.

Here’s screenshot of my browser, Google Chrome 16.0.912.77.

Lea actually planned this as an improvement to her interactive CSS playground called Dabblet (Source on GitHub), but it didn’t work out the way she planned, so she released CSS3 Test on its own.

If you haven’t yet, read her blog post about the project - she talks about how it works, using browserscope, how it doesn’t work on dinosaur browsers like IE8, and why she built it in the first place.

A word of caution the CSS3 test checks which CSS3 features your browser recognizes, not whether or not they are actually implemented correctly. Oh, and WebKit claims to support CSS3 background-repeat, but it is LYING.

If you’d like to add tests to CSS3 test, go to tests.js and follow the current structure. Also, there are lots of great conversations and comments about the project on Hacker News.

In the city of Odessa, Ukraine this Windows error box was floating. It looks weird but it was not photoshopped or whatsoever.
Actually, there was a big fog that night in Odessa and what you see in the sky was an advertisement projection with this Windows error message.
