Android on HP TouchPad

Android on HP TouchPad

If you dropped $99 on a discounted HP TouchPad hoping to run the latest CyanogenMod, you’ll have to wait a little longer. In the meantime you can occupy yourself with this proof-of-concept video showing Android running on the device. The team says they’re still working on the touchscreen driver and have resorted to a “blatant publicity stunt” in order to get their hands on more TouchPads for testing.

Compressed: Ferrofluid and Bubbles

Kim Pimmel of San Francisco, CA, created this “experimental art video of ferrofluid and bubbles.” I combined everyday soap bubbles with exotic ferrofluid liquid to create an eerie tale, using macro lenses and time lapse techniques. Black ferrofluid and dye race through bubble structures, drawn through by the invisible forces of capillary action and magnetism.
