Here's an old clip on Philippe Halsman's jump portraits.

Photographer Philippe Halsman and Salvador Dali collaborated on a series of images, the result of which is a fascinating look at how photography appealed to Dali in the 1940s-60s. Magnum and Slate present a compendium of images from this series to celebrate the birth of Dali on May 11, 1904. (This gallery contains nudity.)

the information was wrong and Philippe and Dali concocted a photograph to show the world that Dali's mustache was still there, as strong as ever."—Yvonne Halsman, 1964.

iPhone Going The Way Of The iPod?

Wed, 20 Jun 2007 04:51:22 GMT

clipped by: kidora
clipper's remarks: For the iPhone to be as successful as the iPod Apple will have to come up with a cheaper alternative.
This picture is a humorous what if.
Personally I would love to see a version of the iPhone that would allow a wider range of consumers to experience this really exciting technology. Unfortunately the iPhone is flying in the stratosphere with a BMW and a first class ticket to London.
My guess is that once this behemoth comes out and it doesn't explode in their faces the first month, they will then release a cheaper version that we can all afford without selling our first child.
So cheers folks, and don't sell off your kidneys yet.

Yeah, don't pretend like you didn't see this one coming. Completely unsubstantiated "market sources" rumors are making the rounds that Apple is already prepping a lower cost iPhone variant. Warning: completely mundane "analysis" follows. According to American Technology Research analyst Shaw Wu, "Apple needs to round out its iPhone product line at lower price points (similar to iPod) if it expects to replicate the success of its iPod with sales of 100 million units."

How You Sleep Is Who You Are ?

clipper's remarks: Look at the rest of the article to see what percentage you fall under and what it might say about you. It's fun entertaining science folks

If you want an insight into somebody's true personality, then try to catch a glimpse of the way they sleep.

Scientists believe the position in which a person goes to sleep provides an important clue about the kind of person they are.

Professor Chris Idzikowski, director of the Sleep Assessment and Advisory Service, has analysed six common sleeping positions - and found that each is linked to a particular personality type.

"We are all aware of our body language when we are awake but this is the first time we have been able to see what our subconscious posture says about us.

"What's interesting is that the profile behind the posture is often very different from what we would expect."

Amazing Close Up Views Of Tornados

clipper's remarks: This one is for my mom. She absolutely is terrified and fascinated by tornadoes she is absolutely going to love these photos. They are just fantastic. Mother Nature will never cease to be an amazing and awe inspiring joy to watch. While I will never feel anything but sympathy for the terror and destruction that these storms leave in their path from these photos I can see the reason why my mother is glued to the TV anytime live video of these monsters comes up.
Enjoy, I know my mom will

Adventure on Mars, With Photos

clipper's remarks: I really like these pictures.
I hope the Mars rover Opportunity makes it down the Victoria Crater.
Bon Chance

Clip Source: science.nasa.gov

June 28, 2007: NASA's Mars rover Opportunity is scheduled to begin a descent down a rock-paved slope into the Red Planet's massive Victoria Crater. This carries real risk for the long-lived robotic explorer, but NASA and the Mars Rover science team expect it to provide valuable science.

Opportunity already has been exploring layered rocks in cliffs around Victoria Crater. The team has planned the descent carefully to enable an eventual exit, but Opportunity could become trapped inside the crater or lose some capabilities. The rover has operated more than 12 times longer than its originally intended 90 days.

Ancient Protection From HIV Became Our Downfall

clipper's remarks: This article is very interesting. I suggest reading the whole article for more in depth information.

Early humans successfully fended off a virus that infected chimpanzees by evolving a protein capable of neutralizing it, according to a new study. But what goes around comes around, evolutionarily speaking: Four million years later, the same protein seems to have left us more vulnerable than other primates to the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).

"humans are susceptible to HIV today because of a response to something else we had in the past."

Must See, Kid Rapping About Physics

clipper's remarks: This is just great.
If more kids could get this interested in science and learning so much could change in this country.
Not to mention that this just freaken cool

More Young M.C. than Sugar Hill Gang, this physicist's delight should provide a few chuckles:

Physics G (who is actually named Greg Courville) can be a little thin on the descriptions (aside from a shout out to Stephen Wolfram): plasma physics are pretty neat? But that's a quibble. You gotta admire his breadth and his willingness to move the crowd.

As much as I admire the work, I suspect the Department of Energy will be asking about his nuclear fusion project long before Kanye West will be busting down his door.
