10 Google products you (probably) never knew existed
I don’t know about you, but it feels like Google launches a new product every time I turn my laptop on. And these new products tend to fit into two distinct categories: Incredibly usefulIncredibly bizarre Fortunately, most of these products are free so we’re really not in a position to complain! After some lengthy research, I was surprised by how many tools Google has either developed or acquired over the years. So much so, that I thought it was a good idea to compile a list of the secrets of the Google product empire. Google Takeout – No, this is not Google’s food delivery service (although that’d be handy), this is a tool which allows you to download an archive of your data from things like your +1′s, Google+ Circles, Contacts and Picasa Web albums.Google Mars – While you’re probably familiar with Google Earth, Google Mars is a little less well known. So, how many of those did you know about? Also read: olly via shutterstock
Bringing Back Wonder Woman
Dear privileged Hollywood women, We need you. It’s time. As I write this, I understand the sad truth that many people (ie too many of our young) today do not know Wonder Woman: her power, strength, ideals or her significance to women’s empowerment and history. In 1941, a psychologist named William Moulton Marston began writing comic books under a pseudonym. Along with this obsession for the truth, Marston loved Greek mythology and believed in women’s overall higher moral compass. “The next one hundred years will see the beginning of an American matriarchy–a nation of Amazons in the psychological rather than physical sense,” adding that, “women would take over the rule of the country, politically and economically.” Marston, a complicated man, was very much interested in bondage and the relationship between dominance and submission. Marston’s vision ultimately led him to work for DC Comics, home of Superman and Batman. And, that my friends, is the origin story of Wonder Woman. Crunkista
Geeks are the New Guardians of Our Civil Liberties
A decade-plus of anthropological fieldwork among hackers and like-minded geeks has led me to the firm conviction that these people are building one of the most vibrant civil liberties movements we’ve ever seen. It is a culture committed to freeing information, insisting on privacy, and fighting censorship, which in turn propels wide-ranging political activity. In the last year alone, hackers have been behind some of the most powerful political currents out there. Before I elaborate, a brief word on the term “hacker” is probably in order. Despite their differences, there are certain websites and conferences that bring the various hacker clans together. Take, for instance, the reaction to the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), a far-reaching copyright bill meant to curtail piracy online. The linchpin was a “Blackout Day”—a Web-based protest of unprecedented scale. The victory hinged on its broad base of support cultivated by hackers and geeks.

DIY Special Effects: The 'Matrix' Bullet Time Shot with a Ceiling Fan and a GoPro
A lemon splashes into a bowl in a still from the demonstration of this DIY "The Matrix" bullet effect. Mark Rober, who has been experimenting with cameras for some time now on his YouTube channel (even sending one into a gorilla cage to document the animal up close and making a "Scooby-Doo"-style moving-eyes-in-a-portrait surveillance cam), has done something really cool this week. READ MORE: Movie Lovers We Love: Joey Shanks Shows Filmmakers How to Do Special Effects in Their Garage In order to replicate the slow-mo bullet time effect from "The Matrix" with, you know, no FX budget, Rober set up a curved background, two flashlights and a GoPro camera onto an upside down ceiling fan. He turns the camera on and then the ceiling fan, and makes things happen in the middle of the contraption. The footage, we have to say, is magical.
Detroit redémarre en mode DIY
Le webdocumentaire "Detroit, je t'aime" raconte le quotidien des habitants d'une grande ville à l'abandon. Entre créativité, échanges de ressources et de savoirs, potagers urbains, DIY et récupération de matériaux, Detroit vit un renouveau qui préfigure peut-être la société de demain. Detroit n’est pas la ville des rêves, c’est la ville des réalités. – Grace Lee Boggs, 96 ans, activiste et habitante de Detroit Imagination Station (à droite) fait face à la Michigan Central Station (à gauche), géante gare abandonnée, symbole du déclin de Détroit.
