What movies and albums have been sold on pirated DVDs?

The official DVD of the Hollywood adaptation of Stieg Larsson's novel "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" came out stylized as a pirated product. The disc itself looks like an ordinary "blank" with the standard manufacturer's marking, which says "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" as if with a marker. Many buyers were embarrassed and tried to return the DVD to the store, so Sony had to apologize to them and explain that everything was as intended. It is worth noting that the very idea of a "pirate" design is not new: the DVD of the movie "Borat" and the album "Steal This Album!" group "System of a Down".

Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

Why are the keys to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher kept by Muslims?

The Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem is divided between six Christian denominations: Catholic, Greek Orthodox, Armenian, Coptic, Ethiopian and Syrian. Different parts of the complex are assigned to confessions, but some are used in turn, for example, the cuvuklia, where the liturgy is served on the Holy Sepulcher itself. Historically, such a division has often been the cause of conflicts between confessions, therefore, from the 12th century to the present day, the keys to the temple are kept in the Arab-Muslim family of Judah, and the right to open and close the temple every day is assigned to another Arab Nuseibe family.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person.

A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

KIA fuel cell car 08.04.2017

KIA Motors, part of the Hyundai Motor Group, intends to bring a hydrogen car to the commercial market by 2020.
Lee Ki-sang, vice president of the Eco Technology Center of the group, spoke about KIA's plans to create a car with a hydrogen fuel cell power plant.

According to him, a hydrogen crossover under the Hyundai brand will first enter the market: this car is expected to go on sale next year. Then, at the end of the decade, a KIA model with a fuel cell powertrain will be offered to consumers.
It is noted that such a development schedule is explained by the fact that Hyundai Motor Group does not have the resources to simultaneously design, test and promote several hydrogen cars. In addition, this will reduce the cost of creating a hydrogen KIA model through the use of already proven technologies.

KIA's research into fuel cells began in 1998, and based on them, the limited edition KIA Mohave FCEV was created, capable of traveling up to 690 km on one gas station.
