Monument Mode works by looking through frames captured during the live preview of camera phone — those moments before people clicked the button to take the shot. By analyzing pixel changes in the scene over time, the app can detect what parts of the scene are dominant, and which parts are transient, then removes X from view. Monument Mode is currently a concept technology and not yet available as a commercial app. X are really the most irritating things in pictures. Id X

Q.17X’s Law is an internet adage that states “The best way to get the right answer on the Internet is not to ask a question, but to post the wrong answer.”This refers to the observation that people are quicker to correct a wrong answer than to answer a question. The term “X’s Law” first appeared online in 2010 in an issue of the New York Times as a comment left by Steven McGeady, who was a former executive at Intel. X never tried to patent his idea of Y. He once said, “I was a small company and I figured, well, if I got a patent then I’d have to go out and sell people on the idea that anyone could edit. That just sounded like something that no one would want to pay money for.” Y was a revolutionary idea and is very popular today among knowledge enthusiasts.

Q.19X is a brand-new company out of San Francisco. It's a brilliant concept and is so because it drafts off of three different marketing trends: people resent marketing, people don't have time to shop and less choice is better choice.X is attempting to eliminate all the things we do in marketing (the expense of building a brand and brand preference) in order to deliver at least parity products at lower prices.X brags on their site, "...there aren’t 100 pasta sauces to compare, there are three." And that's the case with all of their product categories. Assuming people buy into the X concept and believe their claims about carefully vetting all the products they carry, then making purchase decisions will be easy and will be made with no regret.And the fact that every product costs $3 helps make the decision even easier to make since price is not a factor anymore.What is the concept?
