A huge amount of email from the East Anglia Climate Research Unit was hacked and released onto the web, causing much rejoicing from the climate change denialists. They read through the corpus of email and found that the scientists working on climate change often have substantive disagreements with o... More.
As blogged previously, the Obama administration is blocking release of photos documenting torture in Iraq and Afghanistan by US forces - ironically, just as Obama speaks against censorship in China. The CPB says, "We think someone with access to the photos should simply leak them on the web, saving ... More.

Personally, I think all taxidermy is weird.
er ... that's a swell Flash(tm) interface, but what do i need to click on to see the images?
Stereoscopic!
Putting the same photo beside itself does not make a stereo pair. I could make similar statments about "wierd" and "taxidermy" not making worthwhile art.
@3 You're right that puting the same image side by side does not make it stereoscopic, but I don't think these are the same image. Cross your eyes and watch the image "pop" out at you.
yeah! ..mo-seph. i wish more artists would post stereograms (for those of us with the knack born of years of molecular modeling)
Mandelbulb?
the cross-your-eyes-ery is exactly what reveals that this is not a stereogram.
i wish it was, because this would be a good model for it.
i poked around a bit at that flash site, but i wasn't able to find this image, or any others like it. (and jamie doesn't bother to include a useful link, either)
Dude,
It's a stereogram. I can see it.
well, ok, yes, the images lock-up with an eye cross.
but they are just the same image.
are you seeing those left arms out in front of the dress?
are you seeing the background seem behind?
here is an example of a cross-your-eyes stereogram with depth

It definitely appears 3D to me. It's not a particularly dramatic effect, probably because the image is so monochromatic, but moving my head side to side confirms it.
erszaten and I are right. No parallax, no stereogram. As if you held your finger over a distant object and quickly switched your view from one eye to the other, there should be a shift of what your finger covers in the background. Now, in the two photos, look at the tip of the smallest finger closest to you and the fold of the dress just behind it. It touches the exact same pixel of that dress detail in both photos. No shift, no parallax, no stereogram.
