Dumb Ways to Die is a public service announcement campaign by Metro Trains in Melbourne, Australia to promote rail safety. The campaign went viral through sharing and social media starting in November 2012.



The campaign was devised by advertising agency McCann Melbourne. It appeared in newspapers, local radio, outdoor advertising, throughout the Metro Trains network and on Tumblr. John Mescall, executive creative director of McCann, said "The aim of this campaign is to engage an audience that really doesn’t want to hear any kind of safety message, and we think Dumb Ways To Die will." McCann estimated that within two weeks it had generated at least $50 million worth of global media value in addition to more than 700 media stories, for "a fraction of the cost of one TV ad". According to Metro Trains, the campaign contributed to a more than 30% reduction in "near-miss" accidents, from 13.29 near-misses per million kilometres in November 2011 – January 2012, to 9.17 near-misses per million kilometres in November 2012 – January 2013.


A video was developed by Pat Baron, animated by Julian Frost and produced by Cinnamon Darvall. It was uploaded to YouTube on 14 November 2012 and made public two days later. It used black comedy and featured "a variety of cute characters killing themselves in increasingly idiotic ways" culminating in three characters being killed by trains due to unsafe behaviour. It was viewed 2.7 million times within 48 hours and 4.7 million times within 72 hours. Within two weeks the video had been viewed 28 million times and spawned 85 parodies

Sony unveils Playstation 4


Sony’s E3 press conference started a full six hours after Microsoft’s ended, plenty of time for everyone to digest the Xbox One’s $499 pricetag, glut of AAA games, and sparse utilization of Kinect and SmartGlass. Now Sony gets the last word, a chance to explain why the PlayStation 4 won’t repeat the mistakes of the PlayStation 3, a chance to explain why this time it has figured it out. It’s a full on console war from here on out, and this was Sony’s best chance to prove it can win it.

Of course, first it had to show what the PlayStation 4 actually is. At Sony’s initial PS4 announcement in February, the games, capabilities, and controllers for the system were heavily emphasized, but we didn’t see the box itself.

Now it’s all out on the table: a $399 pricetag, a sexy, slim box, and… video games that you own. It’s not rocket science, but Sony appears to get it this gen around. The company has yet to show anything that implies it competes with the Xbox One as an home entertainment system, but it seems to get video games.

FEATURES:

Of course, no matter how we try to hype ourselves on the moment the console is unveiled, in the end it’s just a box. The PS4 looks like a cross between the Xbox One and an early-gen PS2, but its real achievement is that it packs slightly superior power to the Xbox One into a seemingly much thinner package.


All Sony really had to do this year at E3 is say “$399,” drop the mic, and walk off the stage. And that’s essentially what it did. After forcing us to sit through two hours of gameplay videos, Sony delivered the $100 undercut to Microsoft’s $499 Xbox One and shut down the presentation to huge applause. Unfortunately, Sony didn’t clarify the launch date beyond the “holiday” time frame we’d heard earlier.


Sony took a direct shot at Microsoft’s much-maligned restrictions, running through them one by one and shooting each down in turn. The “PlayStation 4 won’t impose any new restrictions on used games,” disc-based games won’t require you to check-in online, and the console itself “won’t stop working if you haven’t authenticated within 24 hours.” The announcement was met with enormous applause by the audience, and delivered with a wicked grin by Sony’s Jack Tretton.


Sony’s new Gaikai-powered game streaming won’t be available right at the PS4’s launch. Instead it will land in 2014, at which point you’ll be able to stream any PS4 or Vita game directly to your console, as well as “select” classic PS3 titles. It’s not the PS3 backward compatibility fix people were hoping for, but it’s Sony so we’ll take all the backward compatibility we can get.

My PUP Experiences


BSIT ako sa pasukan and incoming freshman sa PUP.

February 17, 2013
Araw ng PUPCET pero araw din ng birthday ng ate ko. Pero no choice ako, kelangan kong mag-take ng test na nagbakasakali lang. Alam niyo bang ito lang ang school na ininquire ko? Tinanggi ko pang magcollege nun eh kasi napakatamad akong tao nun. Pero ngayon hindi na kung nag-aalala man kayo. xD
Its been 5 Hours of waiting at nasa room na ako nun. Talagang focus ako dun na walang iniisip kundi yung test. Then kalagitnaan ng test, may isa akong roommate na babae na kumakanta talaga sa araw ng test. Nagulat ako kung ano yon kung ringtone ba yun or kung anu-ano. Kumakanta ng Linkin Park song di ko alam kung Numb ba yun or In the End. Pero di ko na inalintana yun. At least pang-soundtrip na din habang nagtetest. xD

April 18, 19 & 22, 2013
Araw naman ng enrollment ko. Hay. 3 days akong pabalik-balik dun sa campus. Pero nung una pa lang, I do the steps in enrollment (Admission, Interview, X-Ray) pero ang di ko talaga makalimutan ang Cashier moment. On that moment talaga, Almost 12 hours akong nag-antay tas after 48 Years, Ayun! parang naenlighten na ako nung nasa harap na ako ng cashier. Parang umattend lang ako sa isang Healing Mass. xD

May 9, 2013
Kuhaan naman ng Registration Certificate. Wala naman akong reactions dun kasi mabilis naman ang proseso duon. But nung time na yun. Yung classmate ko dati, nagkekwentuhan daw sila ng kablockmate niya nung time na yun sa lagoon. Makulit eh! Eh yung cellphone ng classmate ko nun, Alcatel phone yun!! Nakapatong sa inuupuan dun sa may lagoon. Kaya ang nangyari, natawa ng wagas ang classmate ko at nasipa niya ang cellphone sa may lagoon kaya ayun lumubog. xDD
Tas nagulat na lang ako kung bat niya yun ginawa pero di naman niya sinasadya. Aksidente daw yun. So panu na yan. E di wala daw siyang magagawa. Lumubog na eh. Kaya dinaan na naman niya sa tawa ang lahat na halos mabaliw na siya dun. xD

Yun lang. Shinare ko lang naexperience ko.

Facebook Data Center




Grabe!!! Sobrang hanga ako dito sa napanuod ko. Habang pinapanuod ko, parang lumawak ang aking mundo. In this video shows how Facebook stores Millions and Billions of Data. This is the Facebook Data Center.

Kung andito ka lang nagwowork, talagang maging tutok ka always 'cause one error lang, sira na rin ang site. Ang ating pinopost, ang ating minemessage, ang ating nilalike ay nanggagaling sa Data Center nila. Ang daming pinaplug, daming istinostore.

Every time may bagong server sila dahil mas lumalawak pa ang Facebook. Sa ngayon nga, wala nang space or capacity na ang mga servers na malalagyan kaya hanggang ngayon, to the rescue naman ang mga construction. Kailangan makagawa sila ng isa pang center para may malagyan na agad ang mga servers.

For more details, panuorin lang ang video. I'm very amazed. Two thumbs up for Facebook. :))
