The trashbox made in Japan senses (via Microsoft Kinect Sensors) where the trash is going to fall, moves and collects it with ease. It is very nimble as seen in the video:"There's no shortage of automated trash collectors on the market today, but Japanese modder FRP has taken a slightly different approach with the Smart Trashbox — a Kinect-controlled waste basket that autonomously tracks and catches airborne pieces of trash. As FRP details in the video below, the system operates on a wheeled base that's hooked up to an integrated circuit board....

I have a beautiful feeder outside my home, the squirrel tries to take the top off to get the seeds directly though there is a steel barrier at the top. Every time I close the top down it comes back and removes it and tries to chew the opening, soon it will cut them open. It also tries to chew the twisted rope, luckily it is intact right now. I was trying to find a good solution for it and some suggested a baffle would squirrel-proof the feeder....

I bought Samsung Galaxy Nexus from Sprint a month ago, though the phone was working great, the screen used to get hot unbearably. It literally tried to burn my fingers whenever I try to browse the screen or touch the screen. The reason for the device getting hot was whenever we used Wi-Fi or data uploads the stock battery in the device became hot very quickly. I think Samsung didn't design it properly. Rooted phones, however, don't have this problem...

Nice time-lapse video of Anchorage, Alaska.So this is what I did over this past winter when I was not making people coffee. It's all time-lapse footage shot in and around Anchorage, Alaska, with the emphasis on the nature around the city rather then on the people and buildings. This is a collection of the nicer stuff I shot of the northern lights, stars, sunset, and the tide. All of this was shot between October 2011 and April 2012. The music is Aston's Classical Cover of the song You've Got The Love by Florence & The Machine. youtube.com/astonmusic...

Before we had to hit the translate button to see the translation, now it is automatic.I used one of the posts of +Heinz Udo Zemlin, another great painter in Google+, for illustration purposes. The translation is not the best but at least it saves us from hitting the translate button too many times. To see how...
