The Supercar Movies Lamborghini LP640 film is an amazing piece of automotive nirvana.
Every angle is highlighted, every curve is accentuated, every sound is emphasized, and every pixel is optimized.
And, since it’s available in HD, you won’t miss a single detail.
(Seriously though, for fans of the four-wheel machine, this is a must see.)
If you’ve ever used Goog 411, Google’s free 411 service (And if you haven’t, I suggest you do. Just dial 1-800-GOOG-411.) then you’ve probably heard the “biddy-biddy-boop” sound that the service makes while looking for your request.
This “fetch audio”, created by Google’s senior voice expert, Bill Byrne, is more unique than you might think.
It had to have “just the right tone, the right mood, the right signal. It can’t be busy or too monotonous, it has to be a quick noise to evoke efficiency. It can’t be too uniform, like a ticking clock.”
I guess that sound is more complicated than one would think. No wonder they hired a voice expert just to design it!

Wow.
I’ve posted plenty of visual illusions, but never an audio one.
To take part, just listen to the following video. Then, when it’s done, replay the video to hear the sound continue to ‘creep-up’.
Weird.

Believe it or not, this Hulk figure is actually a fully functioning PC.
Features include an exposed motherboard, custom lighting, and full Hulk motion and sound.
It took the builder 14 months to create, and countless hours of hard work, but I think you’ll agree that it paid off, because this has got to be one of the most creative mods ever assembled.
