Google Glass to be used in XXX flicks

Google Glass to be used in XXX flicks | Soup for thought | Scoop.it

Porn directors are planning to use Google Glass eyewear for X-rated films to explore the 'full potential' of the technology.

The adult film industry is said to be interested in using the specs for point-of-view shots in a 'truly hands-free fashion' as opposed to having one hand on the camera.




malek's insight:

Google Glass has caused concern because it has a camera next to the wearer's eye which can take photos or record video without a red light or a shutter sound to tell others that it is working

Casinos said they could help cheaters to win unfairly and cinemas said that they could be used to illegally record films and sell pirate copies.

Parks departments and banks across America are also waiting to see how the new technology is used before deciding whether or not to ban them.

Saga: The Book Club - GeekMom | Soup for thought | Scoop.it

The sex was rated shocking by some, and not all by others. The violence was generally agreed to be disturbing and harder to handle than reading it in a book. Kathy (former writer for GeekDad and GeekMom, btw) wondered what the demographic of readership was. Men to women? Were typical comic book readers, aka geeky white men, fans of Saga? We don’t know.

Quit Alcohol, Start Food Addiction By Denise Welch

Don't you think fat middle aged women with huge feet does not make a good image

Last year she confessed that she was struggling with alcoholism.

But since ditching the booze, it seems that Denise Welch has left with a food addiction that is threatening to take over her life.


She goes from one addiction to another. All are ways for her to not feel her feelings.





malek's insight:

I admire anyone who rids himself of an addiction.

It is indeed a tragedy that anyone would feel compelled to expose themselves to a tabloid in an effort to keep their name in the news. I just hope that she never develops piles.......

I must admit, in the beginning, I thought I would hate Sexy Feminism. With the subhead “A Girl’s Guide to Love, Success, and Style,” the cover words are superimposed over a close-up photo of glossy, sultry, slightly-parted lips.

Halle Berry's pregnancy: The real deal on fertility in your 40s

Halle Berry's pregnancy: The real deal on fertility in your 40s | Soup for thought | Scoop.it
Bombshell Halle Berry dropped a bombshell of her own recently when the 46-year-old actress announced she was pregnant.  Berry's happy news has been a surprise to some infertility experts and has prompted them to caution older women about the numerous...
malek's insight:

What's the difference between fertility in my 30s and fertility in my 40s?

The big difference: a woman's eggs. Egg quantity and quality starts a precipitous decline in a woman's mid 30s. By your mid-40s, IVF with your own eggs is unlikely to be successful. In fact, the CDC calculates that only 4 percent of women 43 and up will go on to deliver a baby via IVF with their own eggs (after one try), Klein said.

That's at age 43, Klein pointed out. "When we're talking about declining egg quality, the difference between 43 and 46 is vast."

Looking Good on Facebook: Social Media Leads to Spikes in Plastic Surgery

Looking Good on Facebook: Social Media Leads to Spikes in Plastic Surgery | Soup for thought | Scoop.it

Now the annual poll from the American Academy of Facial and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS) reports that social media activity may be driving an uptick in plastic surgery requests


malek's insight:

Whoa!

That’s especially concerning since the survey also found that while social media is influencing patients’ decisions to get surgery, it’s not serving as a resource for identifying and vetting surgeons or procedures. Comments from previous patients and advice about recovery can be valuable, if supplemented with objective assessments, for patients shopping for a doctor or wanting to learn more about a procedure, but in 2012, only 7% of patients used social media to research doctors and surgical options, a drop from the 35% who did so in 2011.

Frisky business? LinkedIn evicts little-known 'red-light district'

Frisky business? LinkedIn evicts little-known 'red-light district' | Soup for thought | Scoop.it

A run-of-the-mill LinkedIn user agreement update has revealed that the professional networking site has been an unwilling host to the world’s oldest profession.


This is news to Dennis Hof, owner of several legal Nevada brothels, including the infamous Moonlite Bunny Ranch, and LinkedIn member since 2012. “What’s the problem? We have a license to do this,” said Hof, whose employees also have LinkedIn accounts. “Our business is as legal as theirs. We’re the good guys. We have no reason to be knocked off.

malek's insight:

Probably not the best business for the site, someone was obviously 'networking' and found this tidbit of information.

If you ask me which is immoral: floating people payday loans or credit cards at interest rates people can't pay back OR becoming an escort, I would tell you I have a lot more respect for the escort, period.  Yet the CEO of a payday loan company can float a profile on LinkedIn and a legal escort can't.

The Nu Project is a no-glamor honest look at beauty and image in our world.

 

Female nudity isn’t hard to come by in the media, but the bodies we see usually represent a fairly limited scope of sizes and shapes. The Nu Project, a collection of nude photographs shot by Minneapolis photographer Matt Blum, seeks to add some variety to the mix. Blum started The Nu Project in 2005 but said it really took off when his wife, Katy Kessler, became the project’s editor.

Nude Model Joins Surprised Sleepy Morning Commuters

Nude Model Joins Surprised Sleepy Morning Commuters | Soup for thought | Scoop.it

A model decided to surprise her fellow commuters by joining their trek to work completely in the nude.

The brunette woman only wore her glasses and shoes for the journey, and, in place of her clothes, she decided to brazenly place words describing the pieces of attire that they would expect to see on her skin.

This entire ordeal is part of a project by Milo Moire, the Swiss artist.

It is entitled, The Script System, and has been designed to shake up the “ordinary.” Moire remarked that the models’ walk around the vehicle in the nude was supposed to make people think outside the box on their daily commute to work.

Thank you Dove on behalf of all the non-perfect women of the world.

Dove’s campaign quicky went viral because it was different, it was “real” in the sense it was addressing a real issue. No enhanced boobs or busts. no meticulous plastic surgeries. Their ads featured real women talking about their insecurities and Dove quickly gained a reputation as a benevolent company that was trying to change the face of advertising.
