Incredible photographs of ghost cities by Alexey Titarenko


The rush of the crowd bustling down the street seems a series of particles to those standing and watching in real time. Strip away color and let time lapse, though, and the effect is downright spooky – haunted urban centers, crisp in backdrop but populated with ominous ghost.

Flying Sphere-Shaped Drones by the Ministry of Defence in Japan



The video below shows the drone doing everything it was designed to do: zipping around omnidirectionally, rolling across the floor, and staying aloft even when it strikes--or is struck by--an obstacle.

Perhaps most impressive: the thing is built with off-the-shelf parts and costs a ridiculously lean $1,400. For that you get airborne speeds topping out at nearly 40 miles per hour and stability backed up by three on-board gyros that keep the thing aloft even when it runs into objects. Not bad bang for your buck.

The Japanese Defense Ministry envisions the drone going into service as a search and rescue tool and an intelligence and reconnaissance drone.

Employees required to show their breast size


How would you feel if you have to display your breast size when you're at work? A lingerie company in Sweden is allegedly making female employees wear name tags displaying their breast size. The company, Change, says the scheme is voluntary and intended to help shoppers choose the right size for their purchases. One worker complained: “We have dirty old men coming into the shop looking at my cup size. “Why should everyone get to know that? Guys selling underwear don’t have to show their size.” Susann Haglund, CEO of Change, said the tags had originally been suggested by the employees themselves. They were intended to aid customers in their choice by showing them what size might be right for what body shape.
