Did Google Just Expose Semantic Data in Search Results? - ReadWriteWeb (146)

ReadWriteWeb (10804) permalink
In what appears to us to be a new addition to many Google search results pages, queries about birth dates, family connections and other information are now being responded to with explicitly semantic structured information. Who is Bill Clinton's wife? What's the capital city of Oregon? What is Britney Spears' mother's name?

The NFL's Yellow Line Explained [Clips] (41)

Gizmodo (12956) permalink
The computer generated yellow line that indicates the first down has changed the way we watch football forever. But its implementation is a multi-stepped process involving dozens of technologies working in precise tandem. From optical sensors to audio transmissions, the heaviest lifting is probably done by the color filters that, year after year, become better and better at differentiation the line from the linebacker.

Picasa Released for Mac, At Long Last [Señorita Pabla Picasa] (5)

Helicopters Used to Fix Giant Wind Turbines [Crazy] (10)

That's an Eurocopter EC135, which is being used by Bond Air Services to do windmill farm maintenance in the United Kingdom. I'm sure they stop the windmill before going up—unless the stop mechanism is the thing that is broken—but looking a the scale of that little man going down, it's quite scary ...Shared by Aaron (62) Billy Fairchild (23) chesty (25) darkeye11547 (253) Jason R.

Man Released From Prison, Carjacks Vehicle In Parking Lot [Car Crime] (10)
on
Jalopnik (538) permalink
On December 14th, Sean L. Hawkins Jr. walked out of Prince George's County Jail in Maryland on his own recognizance. He immediately carjacked a Toyota 4Runner because he "needed a ride home from jail." The 22-year-old, six-foot-tall, 300 Lb Hawkins had been arrested and tossed in the slammer after assaulting his own mother, but the judge let him loose when a court date was assigned.
