Random Experiments at 2,564 fps with a Phantom Flex

What do you do if you're stuck in a hotel room with a high-speed camera ...? 

(via @finnbarrw - who, if you're not following, you should follow; a mine of awesome finds around photography, especially).

The same Phantom technology is used in this film as we (BBH New York, Google Creative Lab, 1st Avenue Machine) used to create the Google Chrome Speed Tests; see below.

Hitler says he'd rather shoot a potato at his head than switch from Chrome to Opera

Originally on the TechCrunch site (5th July). The TechCrunch people write:

"For the record, Lifehacker ran some speed tests on both the Windows and Mac platforms, and concluded that Chrome and Safari still beat Opera’s latest on the latter OS, while the latest stable version of Chrome also beat Opera 10.60 on Windows.

Furthermore, DailyTech tested Opera 10.6 against the upcoming Internet Explorer 9, and while they concluded that the browser outranked it in all 3 benchmarks, the Opera browser only came out on top in one of them, with Chrome beating them in the two other ones."
