Esta imagen es la originaria del Reflectoporn:

One of the many trends spawned by the Internet is a phenomenon known as Reflectoporn — the deliberate posting of photographs of items with reflective surfaces to on-line auction sites, with those pictures “accidentally” capturing reflected images of the sellers/photographs in various states of undress.

The photograph that is generally credited with kicking off the Reflectoporn trend is the above-displayed image of a tea kettle, which was posted to sold.com.au, an Australian on-line auction site, in August 2001. That the posting of the revealing image was unlikely to have been accidental was confirmed by a trace of the seller’s user ID, which showed him to be one of a group of people who were planting similar pictures on various web sites.

that’s it no more buying stuff off ebay for me!!

Inventos que primero fueron creaciones de escritores de ciencia ficcion y luego se hicieron realidad:

taser

THE TASER: ”Victor Appleton“

Author Victor Appleton (the pseudonym of Howard Garis, also known for the ”Uncle Wiggily“ books) provided inspiration for the modern personal protection device, the taser (or ”stun gun.“) The word ”TASER“ is an acronym for ”Thomas A. Swift’s Electrical Rifle,“ so named because the inventor was an admirer of Tom Swift when he was a child. The book ”Tom Swift and His Electric Rifle“ was published in 1911. Tom Swift was the adolescent hero of a series of books aimed at juvenile readers. Tom was the Harry Potter of his day. The books typically told of Tom’s adventures involving high-tech equipment such as a ”sky train“ or an ”electric runabout.“ Monorails and hybrid cars, anyone?

The Taser was developed in the late 1960’s by Jack Cover, who came up with the idea as a result of hearing about a U.S. commission which was looking into non-lethal ways police could deal with violent offenders. Cover based the Taser on a kind of stun gun he had read about in the Tom Swift fantasy stories of his childhood, thus the acronym, ‘Thomas A. Swift Electrical Rifle’.

First used by the Los Angeles Police Department in 1976, the Taser is now used by hundreds of police departments in the U.S.
