Geo-tags reveal celeb secrets - tech - 12 July 2010. The web has opened up new opportunities for stalkers: celebrities' home addresses are becoming easy to figure out because the stars aren't taking care when they upload pictures online. And tech-savvy thieves could even find out when they – or you – are away from home.

So say a group of US computer scientists, who have shown that address information can be gleaned from photo and video sharing sites. That's because many images and videos now contain geo-tags – latitude and longitude data. Often these are added automatically to material captured by devices such as smartphones. To illustrate how easy it is to get this information, Gerald Friedland and Robin Sommer at the International Computer Science Institute in Berkeley, California, have created software that identifies YouTube videos shot close to their institute and tagged with words like "home".

In some cases the location data embedded in the videos was precise enough to identify the house where it was shot. Home movies Star spotting. Manuj Darshan Sharma - Google Profile. Hotel Igloo Village. Catching one of nature’s jaw-dropping light shows, the auroras, can be a chilly experience, especially in the northern hemisphere. Away from the distracting city lights and city comforts and into dark, cold wilderness can be a daunting experience for some. So for those of us who would still like to catch a glimpse of the awe-inspiring northern lights, but would prefer to be relatively warm, there is a place out in northern Finland, amongst the reindeer, where you can find a field of igloos.

Except the igloos here are not made from snow. Instead, the igloos here are made from glass that might be mistaken for clear transparent ice. The use of snow and ice in the buildings is a large theme at Hotel Kakslauttanen. Oh, and for the record, (most) Canadians do not live in igloos.

Mod and Mobile: 10 Amazing Airstreams & Trailers | EcoSalon: Organic Green Fashion, Design, Food, Tech, Travel, Culture, Pets and Lifestyle. In the 1950s, Airstream trailers were the pinnacle of luxurious travel: roomy, comfortable and futuristic, resembling nothing more than a Jetsons-like flying vehicle ready to take to the skies.

Today, Airstream aficionados drool over the rounded aluminum bodies and mid-century modern interiors. While many still function as campers, others have been transformed into homes, studios, traveling boutiques and even bowling alleys. These 10 Airstreams and other tiny mobile dwellings prove that small can be stylish and surprisingly multi-functional. Kristina Spaulding’s Dreamy Curves Can this Airstream get any dreamier?

The Road Train: taking drafting to a whole new level. So we all know that drafting increases fuel efficiency. Heck, I even saw an episode of MythBusters where they proved that following a semi suicidally close will increase your mileage dramatically.

Of course, drafting is dangerous, stupid, and the risk vs. reward just isn’t there. Well, what if it was? Scientists in Europe are working on a system that would make drafting safe. Get ready to ride the road train. The concept is this: have one vehicle leading (the engine if you will) and the other cars following behind electronically tethered together. When a vehicle wants to leave, the driver disengages the system, pulls out of the line, and the car behind pulls forward and fills the empty spot. [via Treehugger] Slow Motion Destruction Video. Creative Project Based on an Optical Illusion : “Anamorphic Typography” Some time ago we had this amazing project on Freshome featuring a Floating Car Illusion which we’re sure most of you remember.

Here is a similar idea from Joseph Egan and Hunter Thomson, graduates of the Chelsea School of Art and Design. “Anamorphic Typography” is the name of their final school project and it features some uncommon installations that can only be read when standing in a certain point within the location. This is a very interesting graphic design project that we think can be applied to interior design. For example let’s analyze the possibility of a message or a brand name written on the walls of a club or an art studio.

It could work, don’t you think? Untitled. Linos Portable LP Player by Charles Pyott. Turntable Gets A Makeover The majority may be hooked to their digital players but there plenty of old-schoolers who hang on to their vinyl for dear life. Trying to appease this segment is “Linos”, a portable record player. Ditching the traditional full platter configuration for modern sensibilities, this player takes into consideration the space demands and limited mobility of regular turntables. Simply load the record to the lower spindle element and lock it into place from above. Pushing down on the power icon then releases the tonearm and spins up the record.

RATHER, IT WOULD BE MORE SENSIBLE TO LEARN A LESSON OR TWO FROM THE CHINESE!- Arindam Chaudhuri. Recently, in terms of Gross Domestic Product (GDP), China toppled Japan to secure the second position globally, after US. In fact, China was very close to achieving this feat the last year itself, but fell short at the last moment.

As per reports, if China keeps growing at its current pace, then by 2025, it should topple the US to become the largest economy of the world. Who could have imagined that an economy, which was languishing till about three decades back, has put itself in such formidable position? What is even more amazing is the fact that at a point in time when the world economy is still recovering from the global recession, China kept on growing. The growth has been such that in 2005, it first overtook Britain and France; then in 2007, it surpassed Germany to secure the position of the third largest economy of the world. Going by media reports, it doesn’t seem that many experts are appreciative of the Chinese growth.

This post originally appeared on the American Express OPEN Forum, where Mashable regularly contributes articles about leveraging social media and technology in small business. Pundits have been calling for the death of the business card for years now. Writing in The Globe and Mail in 2007, for example, Amy Verner wrote that the growing number of Blackberry users (this was pre-iPhone and Android) presaged the end of the traditional business card. As more people began to carry smartphones, predicted Verner, more people would begin to ditch paper cards in favor of swapping digits. Of course, reports of the business card's demise have been exaggerated.

At South by Southwest this year, as at any conference I have attended over the past 4 years, I collected a stack of business cards that nearly tore the seams from my wallet. Yet, even if the business card hasn't died, perhaps it should.

Microsoft Research and NASA have teamed up once again and brought the "most complete, highest-resolution coverage of Mars available" to WorldWide Telescope. Microsoft's app lets you explore space either through a zoom-and-pan interface or guided tours. This imagery is the handiwork of a group informally called the Mapmakers, led by NASA's Michael Broxton. Their job is to take satellite images from Mars and elsewhere in our solar system, and turn them into maps. Yes, it sounds like every geek's dream job, and having a name that sounds like something from a William Gibson novel doesn't hurt, either.

Director of Microsoft Research’s Earth Dan Fay has worked with Broxton to turn these images and maps into an immersive new experience for the Worldwide Telescope. “NASA had the images and they were open to new ways to share them. WorldWide Telescope is available as a desktop application or a web client (which requires Microsoft Silverlight) over at www.worldwidetelescope.org.

God particle signal is simulated as sound. 23 June 2010Last updated at 00:25 By Pallab Ghosh Science correspondent, BBC News The Higgs boson particle is thought to give all others their mass Scientists have simulated the sounds set to be made by sub-atomic particles such as the Higgs boson when they are produced at the Large Hadron Collider. Their aim is to develop a means for physicists at Cern to "listen to the data" and pick out the Higgs particle if and when they finally detect it. Dr Lily Asquith modelled data from the giant Atlas experiment at the LHC. She worked with sound engineers to convert data expected from collisions at the LHC into sounds. "If the energy is close to you, you will hear a low pitch and if it's further away you hear a higher pitch," the particle physicist told BBC News. "If it's lots of energy it will be louder and if it's just a bit of energy it will be quieter.

New air conditioning system has potential to slash energy usage. Ah, the cool, refreshing feel of air conditioning on a sweltering summer day. Ugh, the discomfort when those energy bills in July, August and September come due -- $200, $400, $600 or more. Feel miserable, or dig deep into your wallet -- not much of a choice for the 250 million Americans who live in climates where heat, humidity or both are a Catch-22 for three to 12 months a year.

A soothing solution may be on its way, thanks to a melding of technologies in filters, coolers and drying agents. The U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory has invented a new air conditioning process with the potential of using 50 percent to 90 percent less energy than today's top-of-the-line units. "The idea is to revolutionize cooling, while removing millions of metric tons of carbon from the air," NREL mechanical engineer Eric Kozubal, co-inventor of the Desiccant-Enhanced eVaporative air conditioner (DEVap), said. Hot and Humid Climates are Tricky The DEVap solves that problem.
