[VIDEO] Amazing: High School Basketball Player Tosses Ball to Mentally Challenged Player
This is a heartwarming story that I didn’t expect. The outcome is awesome and literally made me cry.
[VIDEO] Basketball Shot Breaks World Record
This video was filmed at the Ski Jump Tower in Lahti, Finland. The Guinness World record is currently at 66.89m and this was from 70m high.
Unfortunately, both angles were pretty poor and they didn’t get a nice clean shot of the ball going into the hoop. Either way, it is still pretty remarkable that they were able to accomplish this from so high up.

Samsung’s Hialrious Sense of Humor: Pays Apple $1 Billion in 5 Cents Coins
UPDATE: Okay, while I wish this story was true, it unfortunately, is not. This rumor started spreading yesterday and has since been debunked as a troll. The post, as far as I can tell, was originally posted HERE, a Mexican site that is similar to The Onion. In fact, I don’t believe we have enough nickels in circulation to even make this possible. At the very least, this was a very funny story that I wish were true. It’d be nice to have someone give Apple a little ass kickin’
Original story below:
Apple was surprised when they had over 30 trucks pull up to their headquarters in Cupertino, CA this morning. The security team had initially thought that the trucks were there by mistake, but shortly after their arrival, Tim Cook (Apple CEO) received a call from Samsung CEO that explained they would pay $1 billion dollars for the fine recently ruled against the South Korean company, in this way.
The document which was signed never expressed which method of payment Samsung CEO must use to deliver the funds, so he decided to give Apple a taste of their own medicine. Apple will now have to waste time, money and resources counting the money and ensuring it is has all been accounted for. Along with that, they must find a bank that is willing to take such an interesting deposit.
Lee Kun-hee, Chairman of Samsung Electronics, told the media that his company is not going to be intimidated by a group of “geeks with style” and that if they want to play dirty, they also know how to do it.
You can use your coins to buy refreshments at the little machine for life or melt the coins to make computers, that’s not my problem, I already paid them and fulfilled the law.

[VIDEO] Tupac Shakur Hologram at Coachella 2012: Unbelievably Amazing
It’s hard to deny that we’re moving into an age of technology we never could have comprehended when there’s a fucking hologram of Tupac on stage at Coachella. While I have been very said I wasn’t able to go, this just helped me to completely lose it. I missed one of the most amazing technological advances of all time where they brought back one of the greatest rap artists of all time.

[VIDEO] Caine’s Arcade: An Inspirational Story About a Boy and His Arcade
Caine Monroy is a 9-year-old boy who wanted an arcade, and instead of waiting for it to come to him, he built it… from cardboard. His dad has a used auto parts store in East LA and has provided the space that Caine needs to run his arcade. For awhile he had few customers, but since Nirvan came into his life, everything has changed. This young man is smart, creative, eager, motivated, and very hard-working. It is so nice to see someone recognize this boy for what he’s accomplished and shared it with the world who can also appreciate all of his effort.
If you want to support Caine and donate to his scholarship fund, please do so HERE. The smart young man has already raised $28,229 and Nirvan is hoping he will reach $100,000.

[VIDEO] Google’s ‘Project Glass’ Demo
This is the first look at Google’s ‘Project Glass’ which would implement a contemporary eyewear that also functions as a full social media connection. Here, you see what Google hopes the glasses will be implemented into the daily lives of those who use them. If the functionality is as fluid as this video makes it seem, I will most certainly be purchasing a pair of these…without a doubt. Luckily, it is assumed that they will be premiering later this year, well, in beta form, that is.
People who’ve actually seen the glasses told The New York Times that they will create a new layer for the Internet where companies can stream digital advertising possibly even layered over competitors’ real world ads. The Times also speculated how facial recognition may play a role in the glasses’ core functions, matching peoples’ faces with social network profiles for instant connections between new acquaintances.
Making these glasses a reality will most certainly give Apple someone to compete with and bring most of society into a new age, simliar to that of the cartoon, ‘The Jetsons‘. In fact, this is far beyond what I could have imagined being the reality while I was alive, but it is 100%, something I am excited to incorporate into my life. While technology can inhibit us, it can also give us advantages and simplicity that we couldn’t have dreamt of obtaining. Rather than encouraging laziness by allowing us to sit at home on the computer and removing the idea of detaching from social situations to communicate via a mobile device , it provides a more seamless connection to the internet that gets people out and about and doing things they may have forgotten they enjoyed, during the sitting social media age.
