Vivant 77: 1960s Iconic Hot-Rod Roadster

Eccentric Elegance - Sometimes, the automotive world surprises us with creations that defy norms, challenge conventions, and become timeless pieces of art. The intersection of bold vision, unorthodox designs, and innovative engineering often gives birth to vehicles that leave an indelible mark, even if they never reach mass production. Among such rare gems is a car that embodies eccentricity and exclusivity, a masterpiece that has stood the test of time—Herb Adams' Vivant 77.

This car’s journey began in 1965 when Herb Adams, a passionate development engineer at Pontiac and a key figure in the muscle car revolution within General Motors, decided to bring his vision to life. Driven by a desire to blend style with performance, he set out to create a hot-rod that would double as a stunning design statement. Adams' ambition was not limited to crafting a striking aesthetic; he envisioned the Vivant 77 as a competitor in both stylistic appeal and racing performance.

The Vivant 77’s design carried an air of rebellion, drawing inspiration from the avant-garde Alfa Romeo BAT series, with sleek, dramatic lines that hinted at speed and sophistication. At first glance, it also evoked comparisons with another icon of its time, the 1962 Covington el Tiburon. The Tiburon, with its sharp, futuristic angles and streamlined body, stood as a symbol of innovation. However, where the Tiburon leaned into cutting-edge minimalism, the Vivant 77 embraced muscular power and flamboyant curves, making it a worthy rival not just in design but in performance ambition.

To construct the vehicle, Adams began by designing the body and fabricating a sturdy spaceframe. At its heart was a rare and powerful 370 cubic-inch Pontiac V8 engine from 1958, a choice that underscored the car's intent to dominate the drag strip. Every component was sourced with meticulous care, culminating in a creation unlike anything else on the road.

The vehicle's bodywork was brought to life by three highly skilled English panel beaters—Harry Kennedy, Jack Henser, and John Glover—who were affectionately known in the U.S. drag racing community as "The Beatles of Troy, Michigan." Their craftsmanship ensured that the Vivant 77's aluminum body was as visually striking as it was aerodynamically efficient. When the car made its debut at the 1966 Detroit Auto-Rama, it turned heads and captured imaginations, standing as a testament to Adams' creativity and determination.

However, as often happens with visionary projects, the Vivant 77's moment in the spotlight was fleeting. Once the Auto-Rama concluded, the car faded from public view and was seemingly forgotten. Decades passed before it resurfaced, rediscovered in 2009, and underwent a meticulous restoration to bring it back to its original glory. Every detail, from its unique design to its powerful engine, was lovingly preserved, ensuring that the Vivant 77 remained a true reflection of its creator’s vision.

The car's rebirth culminated in its appearance at the prestigious Concorso d’Eleganza in 2019, held at the stunning Villa d'Este on the shores of Lake Como, Italy. Among an elite gathering of 50 of the world's rarest and most exquisite automobiles and motorcycles, the Vivant 77 basked in the admiration of enthusiasts and collectors alike. Its journey from obscurity to one of the most revered automotive events in the world speaks to its enduring allure and the timeless nature of its design.

The story of the Vivant 77 is more than just a tale of a unique car; it is a celebration of ambition, artistry, and perseverance. Its ability to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with contemporaries like the Covington el Tiburon reflects a golden age of automotive innovation where boundaries were pushed, and rules were rewritten. Herb Adams’ dream car may not have become a household name, but its legacy endures as a symbol of what is possible when creativity and determination meet. *** [EKA [19042020] | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | DESIGNBOOM | JALOPY JOURNAL ]

They never been existed and how come are there their pictures?

Hi, we're meet again for the first time in the 2019.

The development of technology increasingly days is indeed more amazing. Things previously only existed in sci-fi movies, slowly become reality now. And this is one of them.

When you though with logic and common sense, only those who have been born into this world that ought have photos. Whether it's a baby photo, a photo when was a teenager, a photo when became an adult, and a photo when was a grandparent. This is natural because every person must want to devote precious moments and memories in their life.

The faces on the left were created by AI in 2014; on the right are ones made by AI in 2018. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/2Vsb5Mb)

But, what if it turns out that there are photos containing people's faces that never even existed in this world? No, they are not ghosts. Nor the aliens disguised as human beings. The truth is people on the photo below are born not by humans, but are "born" by an artificial intelligent technology.

In a simple description is that these photos were created by robots developed by an American technology company named Nvidia. You might know those company as a supplier of processor and gaming devices. In fact, besides that they also developed many other technologies, one of which is these AI technology.

Some of Nvidia’s AI-generated faces. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/2Vsb5Mb)

The artificial intelligence technology is called Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs). Well, this technology is capable of creating imaginary human photographs that are difficult to distinguish from real human portraits.

Then, how did the AI technology create those imaginary human photos? The researchers entered 70 thousand real human photo datas of various ages, ethnicities, and backgrounds into computer databases. Then the computer will study, sort and process those 70 thousand photos to produce the photos of truly new humans.

Style transfer allows you to blend facial characteristics from different people. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/2Vsb5Mb)

GAN's is not only able to create portraits of new humans, but it can also create additional accessories to support the appearance of those "human". For example, adding glasses, hats, or jewelry. So, this portrait is increasingly difficult to distinguish from real humans.

This technology might amaze you, but many people are worried about these technology using, especially politicians. They worry that this technology will be misused and make politicians speak or move as creators want. In fact, all of that is merely engineering. And some say misuse of this technology will make hoax news "more trusted".

Some examples of AI-generated faces with obvious asymmetrical features. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/2Vsb5Mb)

Of course this technology abusing will make a scene throughout the world due to misunderstandings. In fact, everything has been engineered by irresponsible or bad people. And for its own positive impact, it seems that it is still difficult to find, unless it is used by intelligence to create a new identity.

But as a red thread, it all depends on ourselves as the creators and users if we want the technology to have benefits or just the opposite. What do you think? *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | THE VERGE | SKYMINDS]

In near future, a smartphone app can cure motion sickness

Do you often feel nauseous or dizzy when you're traveling by bus, boat, or airplane? There is good news for you often feel it. Rumors that the future will be created mobile applications that can help overcome the symptoms of motion sickness. Sophisticated is not it?

As reported by the Sciencetimes, scientists predict will emerge a smart phone application that applying small electrical currents to the scalp via headset. The device can be used for reducing nausea during the long trip.

In the near future, a smartphone applications can cure motion sickness. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/1ig0lfb)

The research team also states this application will not cause drowsiness for the user. Small electrical current which equated 9 Volt battery, it feels like a tingling and tickling believed to be entered into the brain that processes motion signal.

Based on the results of research published in the journal Neurology, proved that the device is able to stimulate electricity to the human head will free users from feeling drunk immediately. In the research shows that electric current is mounted on the left side of the human head is able to act as a drug against nausea and dizziness while traveling.

Although the biological causes of seasickness is not known clearly, they believe it is due to a conflict of censorship that goes from the eye and balance organ in the inner ear. Given this electric current, will hit the area of ​​the brain that process signals duties of the balance organ of the inner ear.

"We believe 5 to 10 years from now, people will be taking the anti nausea. We hope this idea can be integrated with a mobile phone. These findings will be of goods 'shall' take before you travel," said Qadeer Arshad, the study leader from Imperial College London.

Arshad added, the military is also interested in developing this idea for those suffering from a hangover while operating a drone remotely. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | SCIENCETIMES]

U.S. intelligence agencies have a system called "TURBINE" that can spread malware millions at a time. TURBINE is under NSA hackers unit called Tailored Access Operations (TAO). From the documents cited by The Register, revealed that the TURBINE able to handle malware that infects the computer in "large scale (millions of units)" through an automated system that controls implanted malware in groups.

TURBINE have 'an expert system' that will automatically choose the type of malware that is matched with the target and the particular situation, and then install it on the target computer. Thus, this system requires little human intervention to be run.

One presentation outlines how the NSA performs “industrial-scale exploitation” of computer networks across the world. (Picture from: http://fox43.com/)

Types of malware such as those coded name of 'GROK' that can record keyboard keystrokes, 'CAPTIVATEDAUDIENCE' which can record sound through a microphone, or 'SALVAGERABBIT' that can copy data from computer storage media.

NSA system design is similar to other sophisticated cyber weapon ever makes a scene in the virtual world, such as Stuxnet and Flame. Both programs also allegedly deliberately made by certain countries. NSA has enabled TURBINE least since July 2010 and has infected up to 100,000 computers.

TURBINE is also connected to the NSA sensor system that called "TURMOIL" which tapped into a worldwide computer network to monitor data traffic and identifying potential targets. TURMOIL can track targets via e-mail address, or IP, or cookies from major sites such as Google, Microsoft, Twitter, and Yahoo!. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | THE REGISTER]

The Rise and Fall of Operating System

Ten years ago , if we are carrying a Nokia Communicator (especially the E 90 series in maroon color) that is one mark of pinnacle of our social status. By adopting the Symbian OS, and in the middle of a cell phone position is still a luxury things, make the Nokia Communicator position was impregnable.

Then, exactly started last September, 2013, who would have thought if the mighty Symbian OS is finally dead, just take a look at the Nokia 808 PureView, which is released first on February 27, 2012 and adopt Symbian OS was recorded its last series and sent on last September, 2013.

Who would have thought this glory so soon be gone? First introduced in 1998 and is mainly used by Nokia as well as a small portion Samsung, LG, and Sony Ericsson, the first OS which is initiated by Psion (a London-based software house) started sticking in the 2000s.

Precisely in 2002 the people were hunting the four of Nokia Communicator series, i.e. Nokia 9210, 9300, 9300i, and 9500, which used the Symbian Series 80 operating system. At that time a person will feel cool and proud when carrying this cell phone.

When in 2006 Nokia is released Symbian Series 60 and Symbian i on 2008, the attention on the Nokia's OS is still there. Evidently, as reported by Gartner, a global telecommunications research institute, that Symbian's market share in 2006 had reached 73% of the shipping of 100 million smart phone in the world.

In that time, other operating systems began to steal the show, like the BlackBerry and iPhone in 2008, the position of Symbian was still not deterred. And the peak was in July, 2009, about 250 million units of smart phones based on Symbian OS successfully sent all over the world," wrote by Gartner on September 25, 2011.

Dark clouds began to be felt at the end of 2009 when their market share dropped to 47.2%. Then in early 2010 the curve had a sharp decline to 37.6%, while at the same time the competitor continues to burst embrace the market.

At that time, Android approaching with share of 22.7%, Apple 15.7%, and RIM's 16%. In fact, two of the first names above officially plunged into the smart phone industry in 2008, while RIM began intensive offering the BlackBerry on 2004.

"Finally, in the second quarter of 2012, Nokia's Symbian OS that was ever so popular, must to face with the lowest market share of its existence, that is 4.4%," said Ramon Llamas, a senior researcher on IDC - a global telecommunications research firm in cnn.com, on August 9, 2012.

Not much different fate also experienced by Palm which also known as GarnetOS. Are you remembered in 2006, amid in the booming of Nokia Communicator, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistants) that used the Palm OS as its flagship, is able to draw a little attention.

Palm M505 series which uses Palm OS 4.0 most enthused in the professional circles, although its shape and electric pen was relatively large and troublesome. It had developed five serial versions and one Cobalt version, Palm finally dead. On February 11, 2009 , Palm's CEO Ed Colligan said, they will not put out another Palm -based on their gadgets product.

The number one vendor of the smart phone in the world today, Samsung also must be willing to lose their homemade system, Bada. First introduced in February, 2010 through Wave 88500 series, when it was sticking up when the prominent developers such as Electronic Arts, Twitter, etc. is came to support it. In fact, Wave 88500 was then immediately sold one million units in one month post-release.

The sales of Wave series (as a differentiator with Android series, named Samsung Galaxy) could even reach 4.5 million units in the second quarter of 2011. However, then on 2012 Bada experiencing the grim days when the sale would not go up and crippled compared with the Galaxy series.

In the end, by February 25, 2013, Hong Won-Pyo, President of Samsung's Media Solutions Center, diplomatically stating that the Bada closure plan to put together with a Linux-based Tizen operating system to better satisfy users.

In the world of computers, the operating system was not entirely user likes. There are some that still exist but in crummy conditions. Just as BeOS that has been developed since 1991 by the American computer company, Be Inc.

Actually the system is a digital media whiz but nevertheless known to the world community, especially after they involved in a patent dispute with Microsoft on 2002. While other operating systems drowned, rapid progress is now being achieved by Android and iPhone.

Android now has share of 80% of the smart phone world with a variety of vendors, while the iPhone stalking behind despite having only one vendor. The question is, are you sure they will continue to endure as a champion? I don't think so. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | RUDI RIONO | PIKIRAN RAKYAT 21112013]

Application to distinguish between Humans and Machines

When we create a new account, either to become a member in a website, e-Mail, or a comment form on a website, at the end of the filling form 'll often see multiple digit numbers listed in the image, or fill out a simple addition and subtraction results like 9+1=?, 7-4=? or a series of letters in the image, etc. That is called a CAPTCHA.

CAPTCHA exampe.

CAPTCHA stands for "Completely Automated Public Turing test tell Computer and Human Apart". CAPTCHA popularized since many weblogs on the internet. Weblogs generally provides the facility of interaction between bloggers (creator of the blog) and visitors by filling a comment form. Because the popularity of weblogs, comments media is often used to increase the popularity of the new websites.

It was not a problem initially, but later the weblogs began to the comment floods that have nothing to do with the article that was written, also the ads that come continuously without stopping, this strange behavior is the act of the robot spam, an automated program that made to send messages/ads continuously to make a comment on a website that has a high ranking on the internet. The spam comment is annoying. We needs to find a solution that could restrict robots to not continue this brutal act. For that purpose the CAPTCHA was created.

Numbers or letters that are printed in an image file for a computer is pixel color code, so as to decompose it takes a very long time, not to mention when mixed with background made ​​snaking impede writing, so it was virtually impossible for computer to guess what the characters shown in the image. While humans can easily see and immediately wrote the character listed, or perform process calculations such as addition or subtraction. Through this test may ultimately distinguish between human and machine. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | SEPTI | PIKIRAN RAKYAT 21112013]

Overview of Android KitKat

Latest operating system from Google, Android 4.4 KitKat, reportedly will be launched this month. Through their website, via the link of android.com/kitkat, Google gave their speech to commemorate the KitKat launch. "It is our goal to providing the Android KitKat, the operating system is incredible for everyone," Google said, as reported by The New York Times.

The latest operating system got the name of KitKat was a result of Google's agreement with Nestle. As part of the agreement, Nestle running a contest to win a Nexus 7 or credit from Google Play through special KitKat chocolate bars bearing the Android as a strategy to attract new customers who have never tasted Android before.

So with a new name, many are hoping the Android 4.4 brings some major changes, in accordance with the Android KitKat purpose is to provide a memorable experience for everyone. From here, we can assume that Google wants the Android to be more powerful devices.

For the Android lovers, certainly can not wait to try out the KitKat. The first thing to do is check the manufacturing information on your mobile phone, whether it can be upgraded to the new operating system or not.

If your cell phone in the list of mobile devices that can be upgraded, you may not be able to upgrade it directly. "It could be that you have to wait for some time to try KitKat."

A number of hardware manufacturers had been adapting their products to run on the latest operating system. They also added features and latest applications. However, most manufacturers do not update the software for several years. Partly because of the hardware, the other is affected ambition to sell it in their new mobile phone.

That's looking like one might colourful KitKat on Lexus 5. (Picture from: http://www.techradar.com/)

​​Google smart phone, Nexus got privileged because its users can update the operating system automatically. As for the number of Nexus users reportedly have modified the way to update it illegally.

So now we can start to look forward to the release date of Android 4.4 KitKat. But when? Many sources are guessing that this operating system will be available in late October and November 2013.

When the NSA intercepted the Public communications data traffic...

In the past week the name of the US National Security Agency (NSA) became suddenly sticking. The agency became the center of controversy after the two of their secret surveillance program was revealed to the public. Many people criticize that the surveillance and wiretapping is contrary to the freedom principles that America has always echoed.

Windows Blue Hit M1

Not even one year Windows 8 is released, Microsoft is now preparing the latest version of it called Windows Blue. This is the first update of Windows 8 in full by the Bill Gates company. Microsoft is working towards a public preview version of Windows Blue.

Sources familiar with Microsoft's plans have revealed that the software giant is aggressively targeting a summer launch date for Windows Blue, ensuring its development cycle is short. Microsoft recently passed Milestone 1 (M1) for Windows Blue, but the company is now readying a Milestone Preview which will form the basis for a public preview. The second stage is called Milestone 2. While the final version will be launched in June 2013.

According to leaked acquired from ZDNet technology site to one of the screen shot leakers, the WZor team (via Winaero.com), there's a rumor that Windows Blue is based on Windows 6.3. I'm hearing from one of my sources that this information is correct. It's version 6.3 for the same reason Windows 7 was version 6.1: It's the version number reported to apps when they query the new platform so that apps know they are running on a new Windows release.

Windows Blue will be an update for Windows 8. (Picture from: http://news.softpedia.com/)

Windows Blue is believed to be the first of a number of annual operating system updates to Windows 8. There also is a Windows Phone Blue in the works that is expected to have the same core code as Windows Blue. (But, just like the Windows Phone 8 operating system, which was version 8.0, the Windows Phone Blue core build number will likely be something different from Windows 6.3.)

Blue is expected to be made available to existing Windows 8 users by the end of the summer, with support for new 7- and 8-inch devices and Internet Explorer 11 built-in. Microsoft is also preparing a Blue update to its Windows Phone operating system and other services as a project to further integrate all of its software offerings.

Traditionally, Microsoft is updating its operating system every three years. Some of the company's engineers to post their status on Linkedln accounts that they are working on the Windows operating system 9. Towards the end of last year, Microsoft launched its Windows 8 operating system, which replaces Windows 7. Windows 8 is the latest version that had a major refurbishment, such as touch screen technology and using box shaped icon. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | ZDNET | BUDI | KORAN TEMPO 4154]
