I found a few images that are optical illusions and I thought I might want to share with you. Here are some. Click to enlarge.

Update: 4/6/09: After some comments from the users reporting it not working, I tested it myself to see if this is the case.  Seems like Myspace took this one down too.  Well, at least it almost a good week before it got away.  Hope people got some use out of this one.  If you don’t want to miss out on the action next time, please, take 10 seconds of your time to bookmark this page so you can check it regularly!  Thanks.

There is currently a flaw in a Myspace’s third party program which currently allows you to view certain albums of private profiles.  Click read more to find out how. Read the rest of this entry »

It was the largest crowd in history to ever have witnessed a presidential inauguration.

A record-setting 1.8million people crowded on to the National Mall in Washington DC yesterday to watch Barack Obama become the first black president of the United States on the steps of the Capitol Building.

Now the clean-up: Trash and other debris scattered across the National Mall after the inauguration ceremony.

So last week, as most of you may know, I purchased a Macbook Pro.  These are the unibody Macbook Pros that are made by a brick process of stamping just one sheet of aluminum.  Anyways, I had a little more than a week to test this machine, and let me just tell you one thing: ITS FLYING FAST.  This notebook has to be the fastest computer I have ever used, even compared to my desktop computer (2.4Ghz Core 2 Duo).  Even though I only had it for a week, I have messed around with it so much that I already know the ins and outs of this machine.  Read the rest of this entry »

Many people may not realize this but many image files, such as JPEGS can carry lots of personal data like the camera it was taken with, the time, the place, and other image type stuff.  If you are one of those paranoid people who do not like private information shared on the internet such as Flickr, then you can remove these things easily in Vista.  Read the rest of this entry »

Update 3/30/09: View private Myspace Pictures here…

http://www.laatedaa.com/2009/03/30/view-private-myspace-pictures-2/

Update 2/22/09 New Comments Code!: http://www.laatedaa.com/2009/02/22/view-private-myspace-comments/

Update 11/10/08:

Try this new method if the user is on Myspace profile 2.0

http://www.laatedaa.com/2008/11/10/myspace-20-loophole/

Update: 11/5/08, this code seems to not work, even after you refresh (F5) many many times at the error screen.  RIP code.

Use this code to view private Myspace pictures.

http://laatedaa.com/files/viewprivatemyspacepictures.html

Replace the xxxxxx with the User ID of the Myspace profile. Or simply, visit the URL and enter in the friendID into the text box and let it do it automatically for you (thanks to BlackBerry for the HTML Code).

Place any discussion / questions in the comment or on the forums here.

To make the image bigger, right click on the image, hit copy link, paste it in a new browser, and replace the “m” in the image to a “l” (ex. http://a338.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/33/m_de3fd98f32fbbc8e7b487ec9a1513589.jpg to http://a338.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/33/l_de3fd98f32fbbc8e7b487ec9a1513589.jpg)

Submitted by an anonymous Twitter user.  Everyone give thanks to him!

Edit: Update from the source, this code will show most pictures (public), but not the private ones though. Also, if it shows an error, try hitting F5 (refresh) a few times, it will eventually show up.

This following tutorial is a follow up on the recent article introducing Light Painting.  This tutorial will teach many users the basics of this cool photographing technique.

Because this is a basic tutorial, for the sake of it, I will be showing these techniques with a digital point and shoot camera, specifically with a Canon SD870IS.

For these point and shoots to work, you must have a manual mode on your camera (not automatic).  The manual mode is what is required to do these light painting photographs.  At least 4 seconds exposure time will provide adequate time for moving to the “canvas” to “paint” your picture.

The “sound barrier” flows around the plane on this pics, although it does not show how the front of the aircraft, typically the nose, or on some fighters, the engine nacelle, hits the front of the “sound barrier”, then slowly leaves the aircraft, and when it does, there is a large “boom”, known as “breaking the sound barrier”, which some of you have obviously heard.
The Boom happens because the plane catches up to and passes the sound it already has produced. At that point there is a collision between the vibrating air (sound) it has produced and the current sound it is making. Faster than this point, the plane arrives to strike before the warning of it’s sound does.

These are actual photos of aircraft breaking the sound barrier
