Link/Video-splosion!!!

Newton's 3rd law has been pwned? Apparently by using photons (wavy massless particles) to create an effective mass along with an object of negative mass, German scientists cheated Newton's 3rd law which states - For Every Action There Is An Equal And Opposite Reaction. With this technique there is no opposite reaction... for more head over to Gizmodo!

Soo... Google and NASA joined forces to build and mess with Quantum D-Wave computers, which currently crunches at 512-qubits.

Though after watching the quantum computer video... this following video came to mind...

The similarity is coincidence??? Also 42 in Japanese is pronounced "shini" and means "death", so in a way the intelligence answered the question (what is the meaning of life?) correctly aside from the fact that it took really long time to do so...

Bravest Warriors... sounded interesting...

Aki Matsuri

Gather around kids! Today (which means whenever you are reading this post) I will tell you the story of the 4th annual Aki Matsuri, the Japanese autumn festival, in Las Vegas. To begin off the epic story, let me start with THE MOST crucial part, RAMEN!!!

Once the team - An, G and his sister, and I got together on UNLV campus, headed off to Aki Matsuri around 12:15pm and were stamped for processing upon arriving there, D from SD arrived later on, also met couple of friends from university there as well. Anyways, since we all had skipped from eating anything substantial or nothing for breakfast, when the clock struck 12:30pm, we were about go into Hunger Cannibal Games mode - to each their own! But we strapped in our wild counterparts and headed over to the line outside Monta for RAMEN , but when we reached the front, they apparently needed tickets for purchase. So we headed over to the ticket line... and saw they only took cash, then we headed went to the ATM to get cash, then went back to the ticket booth to get food and drinks tickets and got RAMEN from Sora (sounded tasty from their description on the paper). 

Turns out, it was indeed good! Well I was too hungry to take a picture... so here is a picture taken by G instead. After having eaten, we were ready to roam around as civilized beings... more or less :P . Here are some pictures of the festival - yes it was held outside, in the rear parking lot of Rio casino.

There were bands singing when we got there.

Somehow a Bob Marley stall crept in there....

More pictures of the surrounding...

An decided to grab sweets!

He got Pocky!

And I decided to get shaved ice... Pineapple & Orange flavor... don't ask why!

And G decided to ruin my childhood by buying a Pikachu mask and wearing it... *Shake my head* Pikachu! THUNDERSHOCK G!!!

Overall it was a fun experience! Thanks and kudos to Steph for getting me and my friends the tickets!

It's Halloween Time!

Cats Stealing Dog Beds...

So my Saturday starts off with the following video...:

Cats Stealing Dog Beds

Which brings me back to this little video from one of the many amazing Tom & Jerry stories:

And this little gif:

So now the question is...: What is the hierarchy here between Dogs, Cats & Mouse? Is it:

Dog > Cat > Mouse

Cat > Dog & Mouse

Mouse & Dog > Cat

....

(shrug)

The Fifth Estate

So last night I watched The Fifth Estate. The movie is about Julian Assange and how Wikileaks came to be. While my friends who accompanied me to watch it said it wasn't as good as The Social Network, I thought it was a good movie... I would give it 7 out of 10. Main actors that I recognized include Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock / Khan), Peter Capaldi (12th Doctor) and David Thewlis (Remus Lupin).
The movie comes out to theaters this Friday, so if you are stuck between choosing Gravity and The Fifth Estate, I recommend The Fifth Estate.
