now where talking!
Ad Blocker for Real Life
By Kyle VanHemert
Like nature, advertising abhors a vacuum. There’s no reason to assume that future virtual worlds—the fantastic ones we’ll inhabit inside headsets like Oculus Rift, or the augmented ones we might espy through devices like HoloLens—will be any different. The moment there’s a convincing simulacrum of Mars for you to explore, you can bet someone will be trying erect a billboard inside it.
But new technologies offer opportunities for subversion, as well. “Brand Killer,” created by a group of students for the PennApps hackathon, is one such exploration. It’s a customized head-mounted display that uses image processing to recognize brands and logos and blur them in real time. Think of it as ad-block for real life. The idea, its creators write, is to make people “blind to the excesses of corporate branding,” quite literally.

The idea, its creators write, is to make people “blind to the excesses of corporate branding,” quite literally.
Right now the apparatus looks like a helmet made out of a disassembled toaster. But as devices for mediating our vision become commonplace, this sort of functionality could become as trivial as adding a few extra lines of code. By then, it could become more essential, too.
In years to come, the boundaries between the physical and digital will continue to evaporate. Both in your web browser and outside it, advertisements will become more personalized and more persistent.
In this future, ad-defeating mechanisms could become a necessary, satisfying countermeasure. Consider the growth of Adblock Plus itself. According to a recent report, in January 2010, it had 21 million users. By January 2013, it had grown modestly to 54 million. But just one year later, in January 2014, the number of people using the software had jumped to 121 million. In other words, the ad-killing industry is enjoying a moment of hockey stick growth.

Gustave Doré?
definitely one of my favorite illistrators
although, he mostly worked with wood block engravings
this is one of my favorites
they didnt call the industrial revolution workplace
sananic mills for nothing...
it popped up in an interesting article about body snatching in mid- 19th century london. how the laws changed regarding it and how the medical establishment opperated before and after

rarely go for this kinda thing, but...
In January, Redditor enns5320 posted a photo of his cat with the caption:
My dog recently passed and we got a statue and have its collar around it in memory. This was my cat’s reaction when he found it.

check out the comments by the "conservatives" who are inanely opposed to "programming" and "racicalization" of the children.
conservatives who took time out between jesus camp and that shooting range where their brats are sucking it down
the leaders of the troop addressed these idiots quite deftly

it rises from my collar
it rises from my neck

never does it quite spark aflame
i do not understand such accommodations
