seeing in the 10th dimension

I don't really understand it. But it's pretty cool. It's a flash site that tries to show the concept to you.

Claude LaLouche
On an August morning in 1978, French filmmaker Claude Lelouch mounted a gyro-stabilized camera to the bumper of a Ferrari 275 GTB and had a friend, a professional Formula 1 racer, drive at breakneck speed through the heart of Paris. The film was limited for technical reasons to 10 minutes; the course was from Porte Dauphine, through the Louvre, to the Basilica of Sacre Coeur.
No streets were closed, for Lelouch was unable to obtain a permit.
The driver completed the course in about 9 minutes, reaching nearly 140 MPH in some stretches. The footage reveals him running real red lights, nearly hitting real pedestrians, and driving the wrong way up real one-way streets.
Upon showing the film in public for the first time, Lelouch was arrested. He has never revealed the identity of the driver, and the film went underground until a DVD release a few years ago.

Make sure your sound is on, sit down, fasten your seat belt, and HOLD ON!!"

granularity
this has nothing to do with eye food. more entertainment food.
Wow. What an idea. Cringley just wrote such an interesting speculation article about the direction of television advertising. If he is wrong then google should do what he says. Genius.

You (anyone) can cheeply buy search result ad space on google. You create an account with google AdSense. In that account you say I will bid 25 cents to show my text-only ad about my pink flamingo ceramics if someone searches for the words pink flamingo ceramics. If nobody has bid higher than 25 cents then your ad gets shown. Your ad will be shown to someone specifically looking for what you are selling. That's "granularity" in advertising. TV advertising in contrast as very little granularity. Everyone sees the same beer ad even if they only like wine.
Ok.
What has me excited is downloading tv shows. But the sucky part is that I have to pay for the tv shows through iTunes. That is just plain wrong. I want them for free. I don't care if they have advertising built into them. Well the idea Cringely is pitching is that Google will sell AdSense concept to TV stations. If TV stations will allow people to download tv shows for free then Google will hook up granular advertising for the TV stations. So people who like wine only see wine commercials.
Brilliant.

Picture shows a warehouse bruning in the early hours of 04 November 2005 in Aulnay-sous-Bois on the seventh consecutive night of violence on the ouskirts of the French capital. More than 1,300 police were deployed to again do battle with groups of stone- and bottle-throwing youths that have torched hundreds of vehicles and vandalised buildings in rampages in low-income, high-immigrant districts since 27 October following a reportedly accidental electrocution of two teenagers who had hidden in an electrical sub-station to escape a police identity check in the suburb at the epicentre of the troubles, Clichy-sous-Bois.

waiting for the phone to ring

From Gizmodo:
Bluetooth Vibrator Brings Joy to Tech-Savvy Ladies
READ MORE: Bluetooth Vibrator, Gadgets, The Toy
See, as a woman, I knew there was a reason I learned about technology. Not so I can report on all the fabulous things going on in the industry, but because now I can enjoy things like a Bluetooth vibrator called The Toy that, incidentally, is linked to your cellphone and controlled by SMS messages. I mean, sure, we’ve seen techie love toys before— like the G5 Massager / Vibrator / Apple Lawsuit—but this one, well, it’s different. Basically, it’s “worn internally” (let’s leave that one alone, shall we?) and when an SMS is sent from the phone it’s linked up to, it turns into vibrations, depending on what has been written (each letter has a different effect). Again, I’m going to leave that to your imagination. Oh, and in case you’re worried that your Bluetooth Vibrator is going to show up on everyone’s list of bluetooth devices, don’t fret. It will only show up on the one phone it’s linked to. Of course, it can also be used manually (thank goodness) with a rechargeable battery.
