2 suggestions to SAMSUNG

I use Samsung HD video camera and quite happily. But there are too things that annoy me:

1. The 'PLAY' buttons in the editing software (that comes with the camera) are just too huge which makes difficult to identify each individual clip in the library. You can see from the screenshot below that it covers almost the entire image. I suggest to make it at least3 times smaller and position it in the bottom right corner of the thumb rather than in the center:



2. The Mode button (to switch between 'record' and 'play') is positioned quite inconveniently - it is too easy to press it accidentally, especially when you film from the hand and in a hurry.
It is placed right in front of the Zoom button, see image below. For this particular camera I suggest to swap the positions - first Zoom, then Mode:



Apart from these 2 little problems the camera and its editing application are very good.

the reply from Samsung next day:

Thus spoke Trismegistus

Idea: New Holy logo

Why not produce a catalog of material goods (most popular brands, for example) in a classical bible book format?

Headline I like:

Archeologists dug out 16 thousand years old vessel with DNA bank of extinct creatures!

Crowd Wisdom doesn't work here. Why?

'Crowd wisdom' always tends to gravitate towards mediocre and safe. And this is by nature. Majority voting might be good for politics or solving communal issues, but it is quite useless when it comes to judging creativity and innovation.

Henry Ford once said about the value of marketing research: if I were to ask my future clients what they really wanted, they would have answered - faster horses!

In my opinion, 'creative' ideas that get the majority vote on 'public creativity' websites (such as Jovoto, My Pitch, Idea Bounty, etc.) are mostly dull and utterly conventional.

(Even public product innovation sites such as Kickstarter or Quirky fail to produce anything original or substantial, beyond ideas for new pen holders or mobile phone covers.)

Why? Good question.

Is it because the majority (by default!) consists of 'amateur creatives' who seek approval by faithfully imitating the 'professionals'? (And we know that the professional conventional advertising is mostly crap.)

Or is it because where there's a big crowd, there always comes element of politics into play?

Or maybe because these platforms aren't about innovation & creative ideas, but just another marketing 'public participation' tools to create 'followers'?

Black Swan says less is more

I believe that the current 'global crisis'(Black Swan) is caused by a sudden radical shift in values.
New perceptions create new needs. The next model of society is likely to hold values polar opposite to the current ones. As rules of the game change, so some conventional business practices will transcend or simply perish.

Below is a list of business sectors that in my opinion are going to substantially shrink, transform or die in the near future:

ADVERTISING (less consumption)

BANKING (less debt)

INSURANCE (less fear)

MILITARY (less wars)

POLICE (less crime)

LAWYERS (less crime)

DOCTORS (less diseases)

Magick ritual video

A ritual I designed to launch thought forms. It consists of 3 steps: gnosis through spinning, affirmation of intent and alignment with spiritual forces.

Idea: iPhone Cloudbusting app

Point-and-shoot cloudbusting app. that works as a remote control to operate a stationary cloudbusting gun at home while lying on a beach a few miles away.

In a society that prospers on constant fabrication of artificial needs, free choice increasingly becomes an illusion.

Idea: American Idol 2 (the unretarded version)

Idea: H2OLY brand of drinking water

It's been proven scientifically that molecular structure of water can be influenced by the power of thought.



Why not produce a special brand of drinking water, for example called 'H2OLY', the properties of which can be directly programmed by the user?

The name is displayed on the label in the middle of the sacred geometric symbol called 'the seed of life':




To activate the 'programming' the user has to scratch off the label to reveal the code (mantra, prayer, etc.), for example:



Scratching off the silver film and reading the code loud is itself an act of magickal participation that would activate the program and charge the water with psycho-chemical properties beneficial for each individual (thirsty) person.

p.s. If I was the Pope, I would be giving away these h2oly water bottles in a true christian caring tradition - for free!

The Age of Total Frankness might be next.

I believe it's very possible that during the major universal alignment, coming on 21 December 2012, the critical process of human DNA change will be triggered by powerful cosmic radiation reflected by the sun. The human species would suddenly acquire a psychic boost and be forced to live in the new brave world of total brutal frankness.

Social and Environmental impacts of mass telepathy.

Manly P. Hall on the next step of evolution of human consciousness:

"If a man acquires a full ESP:

He no longer will be able to keep a secret.
Nothing would happen without everyone knowing the facts of the matter.
All promotion, all publicity, all propaganda will lose influence.
An individual can not and will not be deceived.
He cannot be exploited.
He cannot in any way be prevented from knowing the truth about how other people feel about him.
Nor can he prevent other people from knowing how he feels about them."

Manly P. Hall



We already know and can see how the extension of a single sensory perception can completely overwhelm the whole pattern of modern society, forcing it into entirely different direction!

With full ESP awakened in every single individual the world would not need lawyers, advertisers, bankers, insurance agents, police, army, salesmen and psychiatrists!
