Why does scotch tape make frosted glass transprent? - http://www.youtube.com/watch...
Why does scotch tape make frosted glass transprent?
Play
It feels like I should have known that a long time ago. I imagine it's because you're smoothing out the light refraction with the tape that causes the glass to be frosted (since it's really just the outside surface of the glass that was causing it). - Ben Reierson
This may be explained because the scotch tape has a refractive index which is intermediate between the refractive index of air and the refractive index of glass. The product of the transmittance of the two new interfaces created is larger than original transmittance. Another additional cause is certainly the reduction of scattered light - Matt Stevens
Query - in the video, is any change apparent on the other side when tape is in place? If not, good for sleuthing (not peeping, eh?) - Dick Chimenti

It's Friday night. If I weren't a geek I would be drinking whisky at the Ritz in Half Moon Bay. Anyone want to join me?

I can be there by 7, @scobleizer - Prolific Programmer from IM
Prolific: I can be there too. It's a date. - Robert Scoble
If I were in US, I would love to join. - Katsuya TSUKUI
Katsuya: I assume you're in Japan. I wish I could go to sushi with you tonight. - Robert Scoble
love to join you - the trip from KY is prohibitive, tho<g>. i'll raise my glass here in your honor. - MikeAmundsen
If this were Chicago, I'd be up for taking a drink. One day...one day... - Jonathan Hardesty
kewl, Scoble, see you then - Prolific Programmer from IM
You in Hotlanta tonight? - Tim Yonkers
Jonathan: if we were in Chicago we'd go hit Rush street! Tim, if I was in Hotlanta we'd hit the CocaCola museum then we'd hit the Underground. - Robert Scoble
Lets be honest, it's not been a very exciting day today on Friendfeed. - Mark
I thought those Apple tablet rumours on macrumours would have gotten us salivating on FF - Mark
Mark: that's cause I went to FriendFeed. :-) Apple tablet rumors? I think they are lame. I had a tablet back in 2003. - Robert Scoble
You will still buy one ;) - Mark
trying to get others to join us, @scobleizer - Prolific Programmer from IM
Mark, of course! :-) I have to pay the Steve Jobs tax! - Robert Scoble
Speaking of Jobs' when was he last on an apple stage in public? - Mark
Mark: wasn't it last fall? - Robert Scoble
Yeah I think it was September 2008, the Ipod refresh event. Almost one year ago - Mark
outside as usual, @scobleizer? - Prolific Programmer from IM
I will "virtually" on the east coast. - Kreg Steppe
New Orleans is a little far from Half Moon Bay, but a whiskey at the Ritz sounds so nice. - Chris Brakebill
It was really great meeting Prolific Programmer at the Ritz. On the way home I met a neighbor who gave Patrick and me a lesson in raccoon control. - Robert Scoble from iPhone
Be a long bike ride :) Last Time I made it out that way was towards the end of a multiple day bicycle tour :) Half Moon Bay's a fun place though. - Raymond Marr aka Knatchwa
Chris: I love New Orleans! Gotta come back. - Robert Scoble from iPhone
but u are geek ? Yes? - viki saigal
I'll be there tomorrownite with the wife if anybody wants to join us. - Randy Ksar from twhirl
Viki: going to the Ritz with a programmer makes it safe. We met a carpenter from Chicago there who owns a horse that came in fifth in the Kentucky Derby. Interesting times! - Robert Scoble from iPhone
Randy: at HMB Ritz? We will see you there. Should we bring the smores kit? - Robert Scoble from iPhone
[humble suggestion] Whatever whiskey Robert drinks, Robert must travel to where the whiskey is made and interview the people and video the processes that derive such sweet thunder. Call it Whiskey Geeks and finish the strokes of others that tried but appear to have stopped after the imbibe phase of the process. - Jay Cuthrell
Would love to - but I'm on a different continent right now :( - Jim Connolly
we're done, left a long time ago - Prolific Programmer from IM

Celebrating Cronkite while ignoring what he did - Glenn Greenwald - Salon.com - http://www.salon.com/opinion...
"Cronkite's best moment was when he did exactly that which the modern journalist today insists they must not ever do -- directly contradict claims from government and military officials and suggest that such claims should not be believed. These days, our leading media outlets won't even use words that are disapproved of by the Government. Despite that, media stars will spend ample time flamboyantly commemorating Cronkite's death as though he reflects well on what they do (though probably not nearly as much time as they spent dwelling on the death of Tim Russert, whose sycophantic servitude to Beltway power and "accommodating head waiter"-like, mindless stenography did indeed represent quite accurately what today's media stars actually do). In fact, within Cronkite's most important moments one finds the essence of journalism that today's modern media stars not only fail to exhibit, but explicitly disclaim as their responsibility." - Leo Laporte from Bookmarklet
hmmm..leo ..."our leading media outlets won't even use words that are disapproved of by the Government."?? You obviously have not watched FoxNews lately..;) - glen moffitt
In Europe the news is pointing the fact that when Cronkite said America is losing the war in Vietnam, The then president Johnston said "We lost Cronkite, We lost Middle- America" then never ran for a second term. - Michael Mooney
Fox isn't news though. It's factless infotainment. That is, versus something like CNN that fact-based infotainment. - Anika
"CNN" is "fact-based?" Hummmm ... What world is THAT in? - Don Smith
In the world where Fox just makes up stuff. Clearly. - Anika
Rachel Maddow had Dan Rather on Friday. Dan commented on this topic. - Michael Hansel
"Fox just makes up stuff?" -- Examples please? - Don Smith
Reporters are really only obliged to report the facts as truthfully as possible. It is for listeners, viewers and readers to draw their own conclusions. Reporting is not the same as punditry which is what people, certainly Greenwald, seems to be confusing reporting with. If the government (or others) present information to a reporter then it is the government that lies not the reporter.... more... - tom murphy
The so called "News channels" haven't been responsible for delivering news in several decades now. When the first journalist asked the question "So how do you FEEL about..." it stopped being news and became entertainment. It isn't even informative. I don't care which channel you are watching/listening to. - Steve Martin
This quote from the article hit the nail on the head (but it now applies to news outlets on both sides of the Atlantic): “There was a time in America when the press and the government were on opposite sides of the field,” [...] “The press was supposed to speak on behalf of the people. The new tradition is that the press speaks on behalf of the government.” - Andrew Terry
Journalism went off the rails when it stopped reporting and started advocating. - Norman Lorrain
