Yet another great video by Tim Ferriss, do watch!

“Here is my most recent keynote from the 2,000-person+ Le Web in Paris, which focused on how to catalyze a global phenomenon on a very limited budget. Topics include:

- How to sell “around the product” for more coverage.
- The three necessary types of media exposure.
- Real-world tipping points from the launch of The 4-Hour Workweek
- How to increase website conversion 80%.”

You can also view some slides that accompany the video on the via link below:

An interesting note on Windows 7 - Microsoft has come out and said that there will be no supported upgrade path from Windows XP to Windows 7, instead only inviting machines already running Vista to upgrade onto 7 without a fresh install. Its a shame, but also it is a fair move on microsofts part - there never has been upgrade paths between operating systems more than a generation apart in the past - think Windows 98 to Windows Vista. In this instance however since the uptake of Vista has been so small due to the product being shunned from Business and Consumers alike, due to its many and well documented flaws, it would be adventageous of Microsoft to make an exeption in this case.

Are you always running into the problem of facing up to 3 bad guys with only the one stun gun? Not anymore! Tazer has just announced the Tazer X3 stun gun which includes the ability to stun up to 3 unwilling participants at once. Not only that, but the X3 can also display a “warning arc” when loaded, allowing officers to “gain voluntary compliance” and “avert use-of-force” by putting on a light show.

The video below is quite amazing and the detail is stunning. It has been shot with the SprintCam v3 with a setting of 1000 frames a second, which over a minute equates to a staggering 60,000 individual shots - much more in comparison to regular video shot on a consumer grade camera which is just 24fps/1440 shots a minute.

Watch this in full screen with high def setting if your bandwidth/computer can handle it - its worthy!

This is pretty interesting watching - a guy in Texas did a time-lapse of the nights sky with a 20sec exposure each minute for 9 hours.

Only on Twitter could a cat amass more than half a million followers…I’m kinda stunned people are actually tuning in to the owner authoring the 140 character doings of his hairy companion here.
