David Calvo est un espagnol passé maitre dans l'art du Rubik Cube. Dans sa dernière vidéo, il a ajouté un peu de difficulté en jonglant avec deux exemplaires du célèbre casse-tête d'une main, pendant qu'il en résolvait un troisième de l'autre. Ça ne sert à rien mais c'est l'fun.

Que fait Facebook avec vos donnees effacées?

L’appétit vorace de Facebook pour les données personnelles n’est un secret pour personne. Régulièrement, son estomac numérique gargouille auprès de ses membres pour réclamer son dû. « Donnez-moi votre numéro de mobile, que je puisse renvoyer votre mot de passe en cas d’oubli ! » « Expliquez-moi vos opinions politiques, que je puisse mieux cibler mes publicités ! » « Dites-moi ce que vous lisez, ce que vous écoutez, ce que vous regardez, ce que vous cuisinez, que vos amis puissent en profiter ! » Et la plupart des 800 millions d’inscrits, dociles, jettent leurs gros steaks de vie privée dans la gueule béante du réseau social. Ce que personne ne semble savoir, en revanche, c’est que le monstre est dépourvu de système digestif. Il se contente de stocker les données, toujours plus de données, sans jamais en effacer aucune.

Surfland

Soulcatcher Studio is pleased to present SurfLand, by Joni Sternbach. SurfLand is an ongoing project of contemporary portraits of surfers created using the historic wet-plate collodion process. This very labor-intensive process has changed little since its invention in the 1850s. The photographs are a unique blending of subject matter and photographic technique. Part craft and part theatre, the instantaneous wet-plate collodion process allows Sternbach to create one-of-a-kind tintypes that are imbued with a feeling of ambiguity, timelessness and mystery.

The Amazing Story of California's Greatest Cat Burglar

High above the Encino Reservoir, streets curl like ribbons atop the Santa Monica Mountains. Evergreens shield the well-tended lawns from prying eyes. On a sleepy afternoon in February 2006, a white pickup rolls to a stop near the peach-colored house where a prosperous electronics importer lives with his wife and their son. The truck is an ordinary 1992 Dodge. There's nothing unusual about the driver who exits the vehicle and moves toward the family's home. He is clean-cut and darkly handsome, with intense eyes and the physique of a middleweight boxer. He wears running shoes, board shorts, and a sun visor. He could be a contractor, a gardener, or a houseguest. He could pass for a man in his twenties or thirties. He could be just about anyone, and that is precisely the impression he wants to leave.

America's Secret Empire of Drone Bases

They increasingly dot the planet. There’s a facility outside Las Vegas where “pilots” work in climate-controlled trailers, another at a dusty camp in Africa formerly used by the French Foreign Legion, a third at a big air base in Afghanistan where Air Force personnel sit in front of multiple computer screens, and a fourth at an air base in the United Arab Emirates that almost no one talks about.

And that leaves at least 56 more such facilities to mention in an expanding American empire of unmanned drone bases being set up worldwide.

The Runaway General

The Rolling Stone profile of Stanley McChrystal that changed history

How'd I get screwed into going to this dinner?" demands Gen. Stanley McChrystal. It's a Thursday night in mid-April, and the commander of all U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan is sitting in a four-star suite at the Hôtel Westminster in Paris. He's in France to sell his new war strategy to our NATO allies – to keep up the fiction, in essence, that we actually have allies. Since McChrystal took over a year ago, the Afghan war has become the exclusive property of the United States. Opposition to the war has already toppled the Dutch government, forced the resignation of Germany's president and sparked both Canada and the Netherlands to announce the withdrawal of their 4,500 troops. McChrystal is in Paris to keep the French, who have lost more than 40 soldiers in Afghanistan, from going all wobbly on him.

William Burroughs on…Led Zeppelin!

Rock Magic: Jimmy Page, Led Zeppelin, And a search for the elusive Stairway to Heaven by William Burroughs, Crawdaddy Magazine, June 1975.

When I was first asked to write an article on the Led Zeppelin group, to be based on attending a concert and talking with Jimmy Page, I was not sure I could do it, not being sufficiently knowledgeable about music to attempt anything in the way of musical criticism or even evaluation. I decided simply to attend the concert and talk with Jimmy Page and let the article develop. If you consider any set of data without a preconceived viewpoint, then a viewpoint will emerge from the data.
