World Gone Sour (The Lost Kids) - OFFICIAL VIDEO

Shut up and eat em up!

 

Sour Patch Kids Candy Rap is strangely addictive..Method Man's latest hit, "World Gone Sour (The Lost Kids)," featuring a few of his sour then sweet friends. Video game to follow

The lyrics amusing:

Coming back out the cracks of sofas and fanny packs
This ain't a candy rap this is where the candy attacks
See when they're lost that's when their sanity snaps
They break laws, not Jawbreakers, but break jaws.

In fact, real heavy like a monkey on your back
Got some thumb tacks playing pin the donkey with the cat
Bump that, plant a firecracker where you dump at
Right beside the shower where you keep the d*** pump at
Oh no they're creeping like some ninjas in the dojo
They'll knock the little man off the horsie on your polos for sure yo
Crushing all your dreams cut the strings in your yoyo
Trade your Lamborghini to your Volvo

Till now I bet you thought this was a promo
But no no, this is Boba Fett meets Han Solo
Kids gone loco until you sink your teeth in
You know the motto, if life's a treat then you're eatin…

These kids are cruel till the day that they're chewed damn
That's bad news now they're in a bad mood damn
First they're sour then they're sweet little dudes
And they will fight the power till they're food.

Now eat em up, eat em up
Shut up and eat em up
This beat goes hard, I gotta beat it up
It's like I'm young I gotta heat it up.
And when the candy goes wrong gotta eat em up.

Oh snap look what fell out the patch
Right in this fool's lap how uncool is that.
Alright jack, now you're on the wrong side of the map
With a busted GPS on the wrong side of the snacks
That fight back in fact they're rolling like the army
Throw bleach in your laundry then unfold your origami
I like that some snacks are sweeter in the end
But then again, ain't nothing sweeter than revenge
Now they're on your Facebook deleting all your friends
Clogging up your toilet with a poop eating grin
All up in your closet cutting holes in every pocket
That you'd like to keep your wallet that's a promise I'm a pimp
Wipe the music off your MP3, burn a rug, pull the plug on your MTV
This is thug vision in 3D, and these kids ain't worried they play dirty like they're O.D.B.

These kids are cruel till the day that they're chewed damn
That's bad news now they're in a bad mood damn
First they're sour then they're sweet little dudes
And they will fight the power till they're food.

Now eat em up, eat em up
Shut up and eat em up
This beat goes hard, I gotta beat it up
It's like I'm young I gotta heat it up.
And when the candy goes wrong gotta eat em up.

APP OF THE DAY: Aurasma Lite review - (Spurs fans download now) - Pocket-lint

APP OF THE DAY: Aurasma Lite review - (Spurs fans download now) - Pocket-lint | Psychology of Consumer Behaviour | Scoop.it

Aurasma is an augmented reality browser for your smartphone. It uses the phone’s camera to examine pictures/things in the world and then searches for images and patterns to match with those same images with those logged and recorded on Aurasma servers. Once it makes a match, the servers send video/stills image content to play on your phone.

 

Creating "Anywheres"

You can also create AR tags called “Anywheres.”

Take a picture of an image/object to create an Anywhere. It can be anything with a distinctive pattern. A bar at the bottom of the screen indicates how well your image will work.

Next choose a still or video clip to associate with it by selecting one from your phone’s image library or browse through the Blinkx video search engine. Arrange the angle you’d like the content to appear and you’re done. Share it on social networks or email.

User-Generated Apps Curation? Yes, with Intel AppUp

User-Generated Apps Curation? Yes, with Intel AppUp | Psychology of Consumer Behaviour | Scoop.it

The idea here is to allow consumers to build their own sub app-stores.

 

Curating the best of apps from a particular genre and creating a sub app-store would let users with a specific interest find the top apps with ease.

 

So it will be possible to have sub appstores with special focus on music apps , medical apps and so on.

 

Will it be successful ? Only time will tell but Intel has set a big goal for themselves with a target for 6 million customers by 2012.

"What happens when what’s right in front of your eyes isn’t actually in front of your eyes? Welcome to the world of augmented reality, in which real-world objects are overlaid with virtual experiences so real you’ll want to reach out and touch them. To explain this field and tell us why it’s going to be part of our every day in no time at all were Brian Mullins of Daqri and Roman Hasenbeck of Metaio."

Attention Flows: The Future of the Digital Media Landscape. Kevin Kelly, Author; WIRED.

Key Trends:

1. Screening: We are no longer people of the book; we are people of the screen

2. Interacting: We expect interaction with everything- not just touch but gesture and voice and adaptation to us. The world is two-way mirror. We watch it; it watches us.

3. Sharing: we have a web build on sharing-now we have cloud. The type of cloud we have TBD. Could be multi-cloud or single cloud. We share because we can.

4. Flowing: We now have streams of things. We had file, folder and desktop and then moved to Page, Link, Web, and now we have Stream, Tag and Cloud. We have everything, everywhere, and it is always on

5. Accessing not Owning: We are moving toward just in time access where we have no storage, no maintenance or burdenship of ownership

6. Generating not copying: the internet is a Copy Machine. The only value is that which can not be copied. How does one make money? Wherever attention flows, money will follow. You may pay for immediacy, personalization, authentication, interpretation, accessibility and attention.

How "Free" Really Works Online - The Consumerist | Psychology of Consumer Behaviour | Scoop.it

"On this poster, Facebook should really be a fill-in-the blank option. I can think of several other instances where this is true. If you're not paying for a service online, then you're what's being sold to advertisers and marketers, either in the form of ads being served, your data being sold, or both. So, in the case of the Facebook redesign backlash, that was the pig complaining about the barn getting a paint job and a new rope swing." Geek &Poke comic posted in the Consumerist
