Berlin Hyper-Lapse Is Almost More Stunning Than Visiting It In Person
If you’re getting bored of the traditional time-lapse tour of a major city, this hyper-lapse run through Berlin should reinvigorate your passion for virtual tourism. Its frantic crash zooms and warped panoramic shots are the video equivalent of HDRI photography. Except, you know, not horribly unappealing to the eye.
Samsung Teases New Galaxy Note In IFA Trailer
Samsung loves a cryptic trailer. By far the most baffling one was the countdown clock for the Galaxy SIII trailer that said exactly nothing about the device. Unlike the SIII trailer though, Samsung’s 2012 Mobile Unpacked event teaser shows us the first quick grabs of what looks like the next Galaxy Note.
Full Colour Berlin Looked Great In 1936
Perhaps it is because I’m used to see it in black and white, but it’s fascinating to see how incredibly modern Berlin looks in this colour film from 1936. It was a beautiful city. Except for the bloody Nazis.

Shaky Walkway Designed to Remind You The World Is Going to Hell
German artist Tom Schmelzer is one troubling dude: His proposed interactive walkway, Out of Joint, is supposed to give you a physical feeling of turmoil to match the cataclysmic ups and downs of the global financial markets. So, thanks to avalanche-simulating hydraulics, instead of just feeling sick to your stomach, you will actually be sick to your stomach.
The Berliner Dom Projected with Graffiti
In 1894, when German Emperor Wilhelm II ordered the construction of the neoclassicist Berliner Dom, otherwise known as the Berlin Cathedral, he probably didn’t think it would turn out like this.
