Today Google introduced what they call “Google Instant.” It is basically the same old awesome way to search, but with the search results instantly updating as you type. Here’s their introductory video:

How a mechanical watch works [video]
On September - 8 - 2010
Have you ever wondered how a mechanical watch works? Yeah, me neither. But I found this really cool video from 1949 that explains it very well.
And to be honest, this old video managed to hold my attention better than the modern TV shows on “how stuff works.” It also makes me want to buy a mechanical watch.
Cruise liner in heavy seas, or how furniture dances [video]
On September - 8 - 2010
Going on a cruise sounds like a fun thing to do. But of course, every once in a while a storm hits and OMG THE FURNITURE IS DANCING!
Watch the video below to see the impact of massive seven-meter waves and 50-knot winds on a cruise ship during a storm off New Zealand.
It’s pretty scary stuff, but I lol’d.
Only 23 percent Britons people are “normal” [studies]
On September - 6 - 2010
There’s a new study in the British Journal of Psychiatry which says that only 23% of Britons have no “personality pathology.” That is to say, 77% of them have “personality difficulties,” so according to this study they’re not normal. Wacko nation?
Of 8391 individuals interviewed and their personality status assessed, only a minority (n = 1933, 23%) had no personality pathology.
And yes, I did find it quite hard to believe this too. That is until I found a clip from the 2010 “X Factor” which seemed to illustrate those findings quite well, turning me into a believer (watch the clip below).
Firefall [gaming | gameplay video]
On September - 5 - 2010
In gaming related news, 2011 looks like it’s going to be a good year for MMO gamers. Firefall, a massive-multiplayer, team-based shooter created by the minds that brought you World of Warcraft and Tribes is set to be released for PC at the end of next year.
The gameplay trailer they presented at PAX 2010 looks straight-up amazing. And there’s a pretty lulzy dialog line in the background at 8:09. I won’t spoil it for you, but it’s related to Sarah Palin.
Anyway, check out the footage below and start drooling. Oh and before I forget, the game is going to be free-to-play, with a cash shop (which is the only thing I already hate about it).
