9 Extraordinary Human Abilities
Some people are blessed (or cursed, depending on your point of view) with the ability to recall a scene as if they were looking at a photograph. Other people can recreate music from memory. What other extraordinary abilities might humans have?
Here's a list of the most well understood and interesting abilities rated from most common to most interesting and rare. Bear in mind that most of these unusual abilities are genetic and cannot be controlled by the person affected but are an inherent quality of their physical self.

Buzzball
The Buzzball delivers a thrill like no other interactive ride can. At the heart of the Buzzball is a dual motor configuration, enabling the pilot to control the motion and direction of travel via left and right control triggers, which provides power to the driving wheels.
Once the Buzzball is in motion the pod maintains an upright position until the pilot turns, causing the pod to rotate inside the ball against the direction of travel, which applies a braking force and the pod to lock with the ball. This causes the pod to rotate with the ball until the weight of the pilot and pod overcomes the inertia forces and causes the Buzzball to change direction.

The Future Comes To Life
It lives, it breathes, it moves.
And it's capable of communicating with your cellphone.
The process that leads to the development of an Ingeneo creature requires the use of cutting edge technologies, skills and solid theoretical knowledge of various branches of modern science.
Of course, Ingeneo creatures are fake. They are made by a group of designers from Florence, Italy.
Image Fulgurator
The Image Fulgurator is a device for physically manipulating photographs. It intervenes when a photo is being taken, without the photographer being able to detect anything. The manipulation is only visible on the photo afterwards.
The Fulgurator can be used anywhere where there is another camera nearby that is being used with a flash. It operates via a kind of reactive flash projection that enables an image to be projected on an object exactly at the moment when someone else is photographing it.
Every photo another photographer takes of an object at which the Image Fulgurator is also aimed is affected by the manipulation.
See the Image Fulgurator in action at Checkpoint Charlie.

Finger Yoga
Yoga is a discipline aimed at training the consciousness for a state of perfect spiritual insight and tranquillity. Hatha yoga is the branch of yoga which concentrates on physical health and mental well-being. Finger yoga is hatha yoga for the fingers.
To a certain extent, hands represent a microcosm of the organs of action. They need a slightly different emphasis, perhaps from the other limbs. In particular, they are easier to apply excess force to, and potentially expose more connective tissue to stretching forces.
A Lefty Will Win The White House
The nominations of senators McCain and Obama will renew one surprising trend: for the fifth time in the last 35 years, America will have a lefty in the White House. Since 1974, presidents Ford, Reagan, George H.W. Bush, and Clinton have all favored their left hands, while President Carter and the current President Bush are righties.
Studies have shown that whereas righties favor the left hemisphere of their brain, which controls language, left-handers are more likely to have bilateral brain function, which could allow them to visualize problems more broadly and with more complexity.

The goal, to create a representation of an object by folding a single piece of paper without the use of glue, remains unchanged.
The Moaster
The Moaster is the highest popping toaster in the world. Freddie Yauner from London, England, the man behind 'The Moaster,' used power generated by a high-pressure CO2 gas system and mechanical ram.
Yauner managed to get his toast to pop up about seven feet into the air - but that figure was restricted by the height of his ceiling, so he will try and re-set the record with an attempt conducted outdoors.

Goodbye Bill Gates
Yesterday, on June 27, 2008, Microsoft's Bill Gates left the company he co-founded more than 30 years ago. He is going to devote himself to philanthropic work at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

What we'll miss about Bill Gates - a very long goodbye.

Downloading Windows Moviemaker
Someone decided to download Microsoft's Windows Moviemaker. This is what he said:
So I went back to Microsoft.com and looked at the instructions. I have to click on a folder called Windows XP. Why should I do that? Windows Update knows I am on Windows XP...
...What an absolute mess....
...So after more than an hour of craziness and making my programs list garbage and being scared and seeing that Microsoft.com is a terrible website I haven't run Moviemaker and I haven't got the plus package...
Who is this someone? Well, It's Microsoft's Bill Gates himself. It's from a leaked memo from Microsoft, it's several pages of Gates just laying into his design and programming staff for - among other issues - his personal experience when trying to install Windows Moviemaker. And it's a very fulfilling read if you've ever been frustrated by a Microsoft product.

Fly-Swatter 1:1000
Whenever you're chasing flies with your swatter, the end result is the fly dies. The animal has no chance. And that's actually not very fair.

Creative Calendar Designs
How many creative solutions for calendar design are out there? If you take a look around you'll find out that most calendars are designed in a 'standard' linear fashion. Calendar cards usually have the same structure: the month is designed in bold while the days are placed below within a rigid grid structure.
It doesn't have to be like this. In fact, there are a number of creative approaches one can consider when designing calendars.

I will just say it... my Mom is 82 years old in 2005 and I couldn't be prouder of her. This year she caught a 90 pound Halibut, a 55 pound King salmon and then a 50 pound King salmon.
This year was a good year for her AND for us as she can't possible get all that fish back to Atlantic, Iowa. The freezer is half full of fresh fish!! Thank you, Mom.

Taipei 101's Amazing 728-Ton Stabilising Ball
The enormous steel ball you see in the photos and the video in this article is the world's largest 'tuned mass damper' and sits near the top of the world's largest completed skyscraper on earth, Taipei 101 in Taiwan.
The idea behind a tuned mass damper is quite simple: as a building sways (resulting from high winds, earthquakes etc.), its tuned mass damper, essentially a finely tuned and ridiculously heavy pendulum, will move in opposition to the structure's oscillations and minimise any movement.

Absinthe Lollipops

Our Absinthe Lollipops are really freaking awesome. And we say that without even an ounce of hubris. People go crazy (not like, cut-your-ear-off crazy, tho) for them. We're pretty sure they're the ultimate party favor. The combination of absinthe's mystique and the inherent sexiness of lollipops is a pretty explosive one.

Using her infrared sensors and battery power, the diminutive damsel named EMA (Eternal Maiden Actualisation) puckers up for nearby human heads, entering what designers call its 'love mode.' EMA can also hand out business cards and sing and dance.

Hell On Earth
There are places on our planet which literally resemble hell on earth. Places that you'd think were conceived by the minds of apocalyptic science fiction writers. But they are however quite real. Places, closed off to the tourists, places where no photographers are allowed to go, and those that do, get their cameras taken away and arrested by the police.
One such place is Chittagong in Bangladesh. Several beaches around Chittagong bear strange ships, parked in the sand.
Here are the ship breaking installations, where immense ocean freighters and tankers are torn apart by hundreds of gritty, lean, strong, bronze-skinned, men - by manual labor.
