Time Lapse Video Of The Northern Lights

Are you one of those lucky people that have had the opportunity to see the infamous Northern Lights? I know I'm not. :-( Maybe one of these years before I die I'll be able to check see it live. Until then, I will just have to watch videos such as this:

Nifty Chrome Extensions

Nifty Chrome Extensions

With Chrome being the most popular web browser nowadays, it's only right that its extensions get showcased as well. Just like apps, there is an extension for just about everything in Chrome. Some are super nifty and make things totally convenient while others just leave us scratching our heads and wondering "Why???" I mean there should be a line drawn when it comes to how much an app or in this case, an extension is needed. For example, the "IE Tab" that Chrome extensions offers. I mean really!! How lazy can one be that they can't just simply open the IE browser for two minutes to access whatever it is they needed it for in the first place? Does there really need to be a cluttering extension for it? Another one that has me scratching my head is the "MEGA Button." Ummm last I checked, Chrome already has the "MEGA Button" integrated when you click their little three horizontal lines icon in the upper right corner. Once again, to me it just seems to be nothing but clutter. But that's just my opinion. What does everyone else think? Do you have your own opinion when it comes to useful vs. needless extensions? If so, please share below!

Scientist Proves There is Life After Death?

Image

It’s a question pondered by philosophers, scientists and the devout since the dawn of time: is there an afterlife?

While the religious would argue that life on earth is a mere warm up for an eternity spent in heaven or hell, and many scientists would dismiss the concept for lack of proof – one expert claims he has definitive evidence to confirm once and for all that there is indeed life after death.

The perks of being a Google employee are legendary. If you manage to fight your way through the notoriously obtuse interview questions then you’re rewarded with corporate nirvana: a sprawling Promised Land of deconstructed office space and free amenities.
