It’s a comics some people should definitely look at; this console war with all its hatred is so useless and stupid in my opinion. Don’t get me wrong though, I have my favorites, but I certainly don’t feel the need to enter in this pointless war…

Ten days ago there was a monument fixed up in Moscow. Frankly speaking, it doesn’t look like a piece of a monument at all, but it is still a memorial. It is destined to remind the drivers that driving while drunk is dangerous for you.
The bottle of a monument is 12 meters high (45 feet~) and there are lots of crushed vehicles inside it. The sculpture is fixed in the run-up to Worldwide Day of Remembrance of Victims of Car Accidents. The sign on it states: “Got drunk? Do not drive! You will have an accident.”
Virtual Wall is an innovative device that makes it safer for pedestrians to cross the road by projecting laser images when the red traffic light is on.
Designed by Hanyoung Lee, the goal is to heighten driver and pedestrian awareness and to encourage both to follow the crosswalk rules.
At this day and age, people have come to understand the importance of always looking their best. This concerns every facet of their appearance, from their hairstyles, to their clothing combinations, and even to the way their teeth look. In fact, it is especially crucial for someone to have a great set of pearly whites. They are, after all, a very telling indication of how well a person takes care of himself. Great teeth means great hygiene practices and, ultimately, a respect for oneself.
Cosmetic Boca Raton and other avenues of cosmetic dentistry have been burgeoning because of this need to have great teeth. One procedure that is particularly popular is the placement of dental veneers. Getting veneers in Boca Raton has become more and more common over the years. Still, what exactly does the procedure entail? While the fact that veneers are getting more and more popular in Boca Raton, FL, it is still imperative for every patient to know exactly what the procedure entails. Would it mean getting dental surgery in Boca Raton? To clear things up, the following is the basic run-through for getting veneers.
The first step involves diagnosis and treatment planning. Patients will first meet up with their chosen dentist, and they will assess together whether getting dental veneers is truly the way to go. X-rays of the patient’s teeth can also be taken during this period in order to give an even more specific assessment of the patient’s oral health.
Once the dentist has given the go-signal, he will then prepare the treatment that is properly personalized for his patient. Afterwards, with the help of an anesthetic, the dentist will trim off enough enamel from the problem teeth, as well as make a cast of these teeth. The cast will then be sent to a laboratory which will manufacture the unique set of veneers. This process may take a week or two, but in case the patient has particularly unsightly teeth, he may opt for temporary veneers while waiting for the permanent set.
Once the permanent sets has arrived, the dentist will then remove and trim the veneer against the patient’s teeth in order to achieve the perfect and most natural-looking fit. The actual fitting cannot be considered true dental surgery, since it is a far more simple procedure. It actually involves fastening the veneer onto the teeth with special cement. This cement will then be exposed to a special light beam which will trigger the cement to harden quickly over the teeth. The dentist will then remove any excess cement from the patient’s teeth and mouth. Once everything is cleaned and polished, the procedure is done and the dental veneers are ready and good to go. It is important for every patient to maintain their veneers properly onwards.
Over on the other side of the pond, the UK is getting set to unveil their all-new bad guy-chasing police cruiser, but unlike the new 2011 Chevrolet Caprice, which will be used in the US, the chaps from the UK have decided to crack down on their own criminals with the new Mitsubishi all-electric i-MiEV.
As soon as Ferrari unveiled the 458 Italia, people began to tweak the images, coming up with different colored versions and even a spyder variant. What if the new mid engine super car, the prancing horse could replace the raging bull as the Italian police force’s vehicle of choice, which is currently a 2009 Gallardo LP560-4 Polizia.
The only thing we would suggest is turning the stop light around so you can read it in the rear view mirror, not that it would matter too much, the Ferrari 458 Polizia would come up on you so fast, the last thing you will be looking at are a series LEDs at the top of the windshield. Running would futile, because there is no escape from a car that can do 202 MPH?

Dubbed the “Badlands Guardian” by locals, this geological marvel (Google Earth coordinates 50.010083,-110.113006) in Alberta, Canada, bears an uncanny resemblance to a human head wearing a full Native American headdress–and earphones, to boot. Of course, The Guardian was produced naturally.

This heart-shaped island in the Adriatic became a hit on Google Earth for Valentine’s Day. The uninhabited island is only 130,000 square yards and is called Galesnjak.

Some of the sights you find in Google Earth are just plain mysterious. For example, why is a fighter jet parked (Google Earth coordinates 48.825183,2.1985795) in what looks to be a residential neighborhood lot near Paris?
NOTE: our reader Guilhem told us it “must be located at a Dassault Système office. It’s an old Mirage and I know for a fact that there is a Dassault office there”, while another reader, Roland, argues “it’s a full scale model of a Mirage 2000 on a campus of the university of Paris”

So here’s a giant Ipod Shuffle! It looks like a farmer’s field with a horse pen or something on it? Either that or a hard core apple enthusiast. Unfortunately, it looks like he moved the pen on the map since it was first spotted.
Google Earth doesn’t have advertising, unless you consider the corporate logos and trademarks big enough to be seen from space. Check out this massive Coca-Cola logo (-18.529225,-70.25002) etched into a hillside of Chile with 70,000 Coke bottles. Haven’t they heard of recycling?
As if Oprah Winfrey’s celebrity weren’t already big enough, an Arizona farmer built a 10-acre homage to the talk show host (Google Earth coordinates 33.225488,-111.5955).
Too late now, huh?
