Check out that UK-USA love connection.

The yellow dots are airplanes in the sky during a 24 hour period. Stay with the picture. You will see the light of the day moving from the east to the west, as the Earth spins on its axis.

Also you will see the aircraft flow of traffic leaving the North American continent and traveling at night to arrive in the UK in the morning. Then you will see the flow changing, leaving the UK in the morning and flying to the American continent in daylight.

The Fling – a mini-joystick made from conductive rubber – attaches to the touchscreen of an iPad, minimising the amount of actual screen-touching required to play touchscreen controlled games on a touchscreen device.

Touchscreen. The word has lost all meaning.

It’s a few years old now, but if you’re a fan of Magic Eye autostereograms, (and you haven’t already seen this one) you know what to do.

If not, move on for God’s sake before someone tries to explain what to do.
