Motion silences awareness of color changes from Jordan Suchow on Vimeo.

Instructions: Keep your eyes fixed on the small white mark in the center. At first, the ring is stationary and it’s easy to tell that the dots are changing. A few seconds later, the ring begins to rotate and the dots suddenly appear to stop changing.

But play the movie again, this time looking directly at one of the dots and following it as the ring rotates. You will see that, in fact, the dots had been changing the whole time, even during the rotation—you just didn’t notice it. This failure to detect that moving objects are changing is silencing.

The full set of demos, and a reprint of the paper, is available at visionlab.harvard.edu/​silencing/​

To build excitement around the 2nd Generation Intel® Core™ i5 processor, Intel is launching an action-adventure video titled “The Chase.” The spot demonstrates the performance capabilities of the new processors by creating an action-movie style chase sequence that takes place through a wide variety of program windows on a computer desktop.

A Rube Goldberg machine built in Minecraft.

Save file available here. It uses World 5.

If you want the machine to run correct you must manually reset three water switches and one lava switch before turning it on. A tutorial on how to do this can be found here. Each switch should be marked with a sign nearby.

Customized Painterly Pack has been used as the texture pack.

Credits go to /r/minecraft for some of the machines and for Luke Plunkett who is the author
