| A Visit to an Arctic Ice Station Posted: 29 Jun 2011 05:34 PM PDT Two months ago, Reuters photographer Lucas Jackson was invited to the 2011 Applied Physics Laboratory Ice Station, a temporary camp built out of plywood on Arctic sea ice. Far north of Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, the camp housed a couple dozen members of the British, Canadian, and U.S. navies and employees of the Applied Physics Laboratory. Jackson spent two days at the camp, watching its residents conduct tests on underwater and under-ice communications and sonar technologies. He kept his camera equipment warm and functional with chemical hand warmers whenever possible. Collected here are some chilly images from Jackson's trip to the far north last March.                             Source: theatlantic

| A Safety Game for Kids from the 80's Posted: 29 Jun 2011 04:07 PM PDT Let's Be Safe is a board game from the 1980's. Every problem card had a solution card. But somehow it made me laugh. What can I say I'm a child of 80′s lessons and propaganda.                             Source: flickr

| How Much is Your User Generated Content Worth? [Infographic] Posted: 29 Jun 2011 04:01 PM PDT Social networking is bigger than ever before, and while a large proportion of its critics seem to be concentrating on privacy and ownership of user data, few seem to be concentrating on an equally alarming concern — ownership of user content. Unbeknown to most, the majority of social networks own the content you upload to them, and thus own the right to monetize it. In this infographic we take a look at the huge amount of user generated content (UGC) that is uploaded, and try to figure out how much social networks are earning from it. Click to Enlarge.

| Posted: 28 Jun 2011 09:11 PM PDT The Porsche 911 (pronounced as Nine Eleven, German: Neunelfer) is a luxury 2-door sports coupe made by Porsche AG of Stuttgart, Germany. It has a distinctive design, rear engined and with independent rear suspension, an evolution of the swing axle on the Porsche 356. The engine was also air-cooled until the introduction of the Type 996 in 1998. Since its introduction in autumn 1963, it has undergone continuous development, though the basic concept has remained little changed. Throughout its lifetime, the 911 has been modified by private teams and by the factory itself for racing, rallying and other forms of automotive competition. It is among the most successful competition cars ever. In the mid 1970s, normally aspirated 911 Carrera RSRs won major world championship sports car races such as Targa Florio, Daytona, Sebring and Nürburgring, even against prototypes. The 911-derived 935 turbo also won the coveted 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1979. (Wikipedia)
