The core technology that powers gDay™ is MATE™ (Machine Automated Temporal Extrapolation). Using MATE’s™ machine learning and artificial intelligence techniques developed in Google’s Sydney offices, we can construct elements of the future. Google spiders crawl publicly available web information and our index of historic, cached web content. Using a mashup of numerous factors such as recurrence plots, fuzzy measure analysis, online betting odds and the weather forecast from the iGoogle weather gadget, we can create a sophisticated model of what the internet will look like 24 hours from now. We can use this technique to predict almost anything on the web – tomorrow’s share price movements, sports results or news events. Plus, using language regression analysis, Google can even predict the actual wording of blogs and newspaper columns, 24 hours before they’re written! To rank these future pages in order of relevance, gDay™ uses a statistical extrapolation of a page’s future PageRank, called SageRank. CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFO! CLICK HERE TO TRY IT NOW!

Here's an awesome project that I accidentally ran into when I was searching for textures TextureKing Project

Make sure you check it out. The textures are conveniently categorised into their types (e.g. Dirt, Stone, Fabric, Glass etc. + many more)

All textures are absolutely free!!!!!!!!! this is an absolutely invaluable resource for any designer!
Hope this helps someone - it sure helped me

Peace!

Here's a very interesting blog post that I found and thought I'd share. The concept here in my opinion is absolutely awesome!
