Google Translate for Animals. Making the world’s information universally accessible is a key goal for Google.
Language is one of our biggest challenges so we have targeted our efforts on removing language barriers between the species. We are excited to introduce Translate for Animals, an Android application which we hope will allow us to better understand our animal friends. We’ve always been a pet-friendly company at Google, and we hope that Translate for Animals encourages greater interaction and understanding between animal and human. Translate for Animals is an application for Android phones that recognises and transcribes words and phrases that are common to a species, like cats for example. To develop Translate for Animals, we worked closely with many of the world’s top language synthesis teams, and with leaders in the field of animal cognitive linguistics, including senior fellows at the Bodleian Library in Oxford. The Fun Theory. Hitting the teens with the right tune! Dasein Academy, one of Malaysia’s leading art & design schools moved from a location on the outskirts of the city to a larger and more urban city location.
School administrators, with the help of designer/ creative director Michael Wong creates a road safety campaign to remind students to be more aware of the traffic hazards of their new surroundings. The biggest danger for this young, tech savvy group is how they wear and listen to their mp3 players while walking about the city, often times unable to hear or notice oncoming traffic. Noting this pervasive habit, the visual language of an mp3 advertising campaign was leveraged but given a completely fresh and hard-hitting twist.

Apparently, other people agree. ChatRoulette Bingo, created by AttentionUSA, is just bingo, but populated by all the freakazoid tropes you'd regularly find on CR. On the site, you can enter in how many people are playing, and it spits out a different card for each player. Awesome. Lisbon’s Triumphal Arch Is the City’s New Viewpoint. Lisbon is already known for its natural and man-made viewpoints from where you can admire the beauty of the city, but starting this May there will be yet another place from where you can get bird’s-eye views.
That will be from the top of the city’s triumphal arch that links the riverfront Comercio Square to the popular Rua Augusta. From the top of the arch you’ll be standing above the monumental square that is undergoing renovation to also be completed in May, and will be able to see Lisbon from every angle, from downtown to Alfama and across the river. To reach the top you’ll have to climb 80 steep steps, although there have been reports of a future elevator.
On the side of the arch that faces Rua Augusta, there is a large clock that was literally stopped in time until a renovation a couple of years ago. However, it’s still showing its age (it ‘s almost 140 years old), and is once again not willing to work properly.
