Don’t worry. It’ll make sense one day. Sky Arts recreated the famous design in real life using lasers, neons, and smoke. The Great Gig in the Sky, indeed. [Cakehead via The Daily What]

If you want to be safe against the potential attacks by aliens, enemy robots, and miscellaneous evil forces, move to Tokyo. There, a 59-feet Gundam will be guarding the city starting from this July. Of course, if you are worried about alien invasions and enemy robots, maybe we will need the Gundam to protect us against you.

And that’s the end of the Street View data for

They are here. With their lasers. And their clouds. And their secret tunnels that go 413 feet into the ground to extract energy. No, not the aliens. I mean the hippies with their art installations. It’s the Ga Green Cloud, in Helsinki, Finland. Designed by artists Helen Evans and Heiki Hansen, it paints a green laser cloud over the smoke plume of the Salmisaari power plant’s chimney. The structure

We’ve been fiddling around with the Windows 7 Beta for a few days, but just now finally run into that old friend of Windows users: the blue screen of death. It looks the same. It’s good to see that Microsoft hasn’t bothered to change the old Windows blue screen; and by good, we mean bad. Isn’t it about time to fail a little bit more gracefully?

We all know that plants tend to grow towards the sunlight—but plants fixed with a set of these robotic legs would actually be able to walk around and find the light as it moves around the room. So, despite your best efforts to kill them, robo-plants will be stayin’ alive (too bad there is no automatic watering system). Unfortunately, the device is only a concept, and there is little information on
