Lexus RX300's Backup Camera Feature Not as Effective

I saw this funny video about a guy trying to be very patient with a female driver trying to backup a Lexus RX300. I think it's the second generation Lexus RX300 and if I'm not mistaken, this should have a backup camera feature. I guess car manufacturers have to think of another way to help "aunties" backup their car more efficiently.

Enjoy the video! :)

The Lexus RX300 XU30 (Second Generation) has the ff features:
The second generation RX 330/350 interior featured genuine Golden Bird's Eye Maple or Walnut wood trim, a sliding multi-level center storage console, dual-zone climate control, and power tilt/telescopic steering column. Available options included a 210-watt, 11-speaker Mark Levinson premium sound system, DVD-based navigation system with backup camera, rear seat DVD player with wireless headphones, and panoramic three panel moonroof.
I suggest that Auntie buy a Mercedes Benz B class instead because it has an auto parking feature:


or probably a 2011 BMW 5-series:

Interactive Cinema, now in the Philippines - SM Winema

Some of the bloggers got the chance to try out the newest technology SM Cinema is offering. The SM Winema!

What comes into your mind when you were told or heard about the term "Winema"?

Honestly, I first thought that it's like playing Wii, only a cinema crowd level. Well, it's partially true.

Winema is actually an interactive game that everyone in the cinema will play before the movie starts. I don't think these games will replace the trailers (I hope not). In front of the cinema is a sensor that will actually detect the movement of your hands.

You will play the game this way:


Here are some videos of the actual game play:

Viral Meme Video: Jollibee Flash Mob Dance

Kudos to Jollibee for putting out a great show at SM Mall of Asia last August 8, 2009!

It really was unexpected as everyone was caught dumbfounded with several dozens of people performing the same single dance in unison! Organizing 300 or more people to dance in unison, in public and with all their hearts in it was a great feat!

If you haven't watched the video yet, I think that this performance is a must watch!
(I've embedded it here. Please watch the video below)



This is using technology at its' finest! Kudos to Jollibee for exploring the not much explored -- the world of the digital!
