It is Yabba Daba Doo’s day! I was so crazy watching “The Flintstone” during my younger years. I am not saying I have the same age as this animated cartoon, lol. It was so cute that the makers of this sitcom cartoon made Stone Age a creative and enjoyable to watch.
Happy 50th Anniversary to The Flintstone

Happy 12th Birthday Google. More power to the company and may you have more and million internet users to serve.
I’m pretty sure most of us remember the movie Star Wars, which featured R2-D2 beaming out a nebulous, special-effects “hologram “ of Princess Leia pleading Obi-Wan Kenobi to help her. Yap, Star Wars, this movie flashes to my mind right away when I saw Google’s homepage. Google is celebrating the 110th birthday of a Nobel prize-winning physicist who invented Holography in 1971. So, what is hologram or holography all about? “As Orzel (2010, Scienceblogs) aptly phrases, ‘that Holograms are images of objects that appear three-dimensional. -- if you move your head as you look at a hologram, you will see the usual parallax effects, unlike a normal photograph, which is fixed. So, if your hologram includes one object that is partly behind another object, you can see around the obstruction by moving a bit to the side, just as you would if the original objects were in front of you.’” Truly, one doesn’t have to use lenses anymore to make 3-D photography, moreover, this invention pave way to the use of PR stunts, passport security and credit cards.
