This world is full of people that shock the hell out of us. It is a good thing though because without them there would not be tabloids, rumors, or laughter. It is amazing that on one hand the brilliance of mankind stuns us through inventions and technology. Yet, the stupidity of others leaves us wondering: WTF?
Our readers have sent us some incredible photos over the years. Perhaps, some of the images we have enjoyed the most are the hilarious signs our readers have found while traveling around the world. Here are our top 25 favorite:
Microsoft has become such a household name that people spread the word for them. It is not as though they need the help when they are on a majority of the desktops in the world, however, companies should strive to reach a point in their viral marketing campaigns to make people market for them for free. Here are a couple of cool examples of people taking sounds from Microsoft's operating systems and making music and passing it along.
Salt Lake City- Sarcos, Inc. has been contracted out by the United States Army to build the "robotic soldiers of tomorrow." Sarcos, who was awarded the 10 million dollar two year contract, plans initial field test next year. However, the prototype has already been released and is currently being demonstrated.
In past attempts at developing robotic suits, the major obstacle was the lag time between the human intent and the movement of the suit. However, Sarcos claims to have overcame this obstacle through the use of super-rapid microprocessors and sensors that detect movement.
Just what are the obstacles at this point?
Sarcos representative Obusek claims, "the number one obstacle is probably a power issue." At this point the suit can draw power from a generator, tank, or a helicopter. In addition, there are gas engines that can be utilyzed. However, there are safety concerns with this notion.
Price is the second concern. Sarcos is developing cheaper manners in developing this technology so that is can be used on a grand military scare. Obusek failed to comment on what is the current cost of these suits. Yet, he laid claim that there will be a day when they cost no more than a small car.
The Future
Initially, the military's plan is to utilize the technology for primarily loading cargo, due to its ability to increase any man's natural strength. A recent demonstration the suit was worn by Rex Jameson, who claims he is lucky if he bench presses 200 pounds. However, he bored the crowd with hundreds of bench press repetitions at 500 pounds. However, it is planned that these suit will be worn someday in combat. Even possibly to help the handicap.
