Pretty Clever, Bro: One Piece ‘Hand As A Hand’ Tattoo

| Author:

hand-hand-tattoo.jpg

This is a tattoo of pirate Monkey D. Luffy from the anime/manga series One Piece in his ‘Gear Third’ giant hand form (I read the wiki) with the tattoo recipient’s hand also acting as Luffy’s. That’s pretty clever, right? Maybe not as clever as an octopus, but a friend told me they can tie shoelaces. SHOELACES! I can only wear flip-flops and still sometimes I can’t get the little strap between the right toes.

Thanks to simon and V, who agree the best tattoos are the ones you convince frenemies to get when they’re wasted knowing they’ll regret it for the rest of their lives (or can save up for laser removal).

Facebook Home Screenshot Leaks Suggest We’ll See An Image-Rich User interface With Sharing Close At Hand

| Author:

top (1)

Facebook is set to debut an unique Android item tomorrow, and now 9to5Google has a very early look at what we might see, courtesy of Evleaks. The screens depicted on renders of the supposed HTC First smartphone hardware being developed by the Taiwanese business. The images reveal tweaks to the fundamental Android UI that consist of simple access to condition updates, picture sharing and check-in functions, in addition to an emphasis on images.

The screens want to take a mostly minimalist technique to re-skinning the Android OS, with a widget just like the one available for Android house displays occupying a spot near the top of the app tray. A notifications screen utilizes what looks like it might be a Facebook cover image as its background, and seems to show a user ’ s FB profile pic as the open mechanism. There are Instagram, Messenger and Facebook sharing choices revealed in the built-in gallery app, and Evleaks says the entire point is to put Facebook features close at hand wherever possible in the OS itself, making it less required to delve into the specialized app to share or engage with content published to the social network.



The description and screens from this latest leakage match up with exactly what Josh stated was on the means from Facebook for this event last week. Overall, it appears like exactly what FB is doing is making a product that can make Android a much better funnel for prompting mobile individuals to post content and updates to its network, and to better keep up to date with new activity from their pals. If Facebook can effectively show that it can actually enhance the Android experience with deeper hooks, its Home item can become appealing to other OEMs too. As well as though it has actually developed an impressive user base upon its own, shipping on a range of Android hardware around the globe as an aspect essentially baked into the OS works out beyond typical individual acquisition techniques.

We ’ ll have live insurance coverage of the event tomorrow as it takes place, beginning at 10 AM PT, so you can tune in to discover whether what Facebook truly is presenting matches these early leaks as it takes place.

Angry Birds Hand Sanitizer (hands-on)

| Author:

Image

Listen, when you work hard (and play hard) the way we do, your hands are going to get dirty from time to time. In fact, if we’ve got one piece of advice for frequent trade show attendees, it would be: wash your hands. A lot. Of course, a clean water source isn’t always waiting for you between booths — when that happens, there’s no beating a well-placed bottle of hand sanitizer. But while the likes of Purell and its ilk have traditionally done the trick, we’ve always longed for a solution that could combine our sanitization obsessions with our passion for casual gaming. That wait, mercifully, is now over, thanks to a groundbreaking partnership between the fowl flingers at Rovio and those Ph.D.s in oral care products (the Firefly Hello Kitty toothbrush, anyone?): Dr. Fresh.

Part of the industry-leading Infectiguard Kids line, Angry Birds Hand Sanitizer offers a slim and slick profile, perfect for tiny hands. The twist-off lid is located at the bottom of the bottle, pointing in a downward orientation when positioned as intended. The whole thing is supported by a carabiner laced through a loop in the top of the skinny bottle, so the sanitizer can be suspended from a backpack, messenger bag or other carrying case for easy access to its cleansing contents. And at 1.8 fluid ounces, the whole thing comes in well under the TSA’s carry-on liquid restrictions.

Microsoft Research crafts wrist-worn device that tracks hand gestures in 3D space (video)

A team led by specialists at Microsoft’s UK-based R&D laboratory has crafted a system that tracks the full 3D pose of a user’s hand without the requirement for a irksome glove. Called Digits, the Kinect-inspired rig latches onto an individual’s wrist and takes advantage of a diffuse infrared light, IR laser, camera and inertial dimension unit to track fingertips and just five key points of a hand. Leveraging a pair of mathematical designs established in-house after studying the mechanics of the human hand, the team makes use of the captured data to extrapolate the position of an individual’s paw. The group envisions the option as a supplement to touch-based interfaces, a method for eyes-free control of mobile gadgets and as a games controller that might work in combination with Kinect or similar systems. In its current state, the gadget is composed of off-the-shelf parts and should be tethered to a laptop, but the utmost objective is to produce a mobile, self contained device the size of a wrist watch. Hit the break to catch a video of the setup in action or tap the 2nd source link below for even more information in the team’s academic paper.

Best answer:

Answer by Fatefinger
I guess you tried because you can’t troll well. You know in this section we try to remain in reality. Your question doesn’t really make sense. It sounds like the ramblings of an idiot to be honest. And when that happens people report them. We have enough trouble dealing with troll, liberals, statists, vegans, the general anti-freedom bunch that would love to send the state to kill us all so our patience is very thin already.
