Rant 620 / Gold?

Holy fuck! Didn't I just said that the next bubble may be gold the last time its price struck record high? DIDN'T I?!?!?

Now George Soros, an imminent figure in the financial world and also known as "The Man Who Broke the Bank of England", is warning that gold may be the "ultimate bubble"!

Am I psychic? Or am I just proof that if you spout enough nonsense, some may turn out to be true? Or was this just obvious from the start?

Still, if only I'm this lucky at spotting topics for exams :\













Yet another guess came true: sex robots. Roxxxy, the prototype, is the same as the dolls I discussed recently (and just as customizable) plus it can talk and "feel". It's not using the pressure-sensitive skin featured in another recent news article but has touch sensors.

How long before we see guys marrying these "girls" and divorcing their DS?

Now people cannot deny that sex is one of the most common factors that are driving the advancement of technologies (think cosmetic surgeries and the Internet), and this is probably the safest sort of sex that involves 2 partners, as long as they are both cleaned after regularly. Wouldn't want this to happen:


I mean, this can happen literally! And you really don't want them on your dick. I may not have any experience but I'm still pretty sure about it. Call it another of my guesses. They seem to come true often enough these days :P




Anyway if some guy records a video of him having sex with such a doll, is it heterosexual porn or is it gay porn? The former because it looks like a guy doing it with a girl; the latter because technically it's male masturbation.













So I watched the latest Resident Evil movie in 3D today at the Golden Village cinema at Jurong Point.

1) Glasses are too small. Doesn't fit my head so the glasses slips down to rest on the tip of my nose. Whenever it did, I could smell it. It stank of dried sweat. Then I pushed it back up. Then it slips down slowly again. The alternative is to lie back and rest my head on the chair, which means I have to look down my nose to see the screen. But if I do that, it stops slipping. Shit sucks.

2) Screen isn't large enough to have sufficient immersion. The borders of the screen are in view and really kill the illusion of realism. This is the first and biggest problem I noticed.

3) The movie didn't make use of the 3D effect enough. I believe it's because 3D film-making is still in its infancy, which reminds me of old black and white films when people just began to make movies and they felt pretty awkward. For example, they didn't use music to build up atmosphere back then and there was only silence when things were about to explode.

4) The director seems to love to combine bullet-time with 3D, which is great, but he kept using it throughout the film and it got old after a while.



Mainly due to the second reason, I'm not going to watch 3D films anymore.
