If there was already a thread on this, I apologize.

I watched this video and immediately checked if I could replicate what they show and I could using the same PDF shown in Adobe. So I know that the video itself isn't a hoax.

Any digital image gurus care to comment? Is there any valid reason for the abilities to manipulate the specific layers?

(And don't bother calling me a birther. I'll take it personally)

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos announced Wednesday that his Bezos Expeditions team successfully recovered some of the remains of the F-1 engines that powered the Saturn V rocket, the workhorse of the Apollo lunar missions in the 1960s and 1970s. "We found so much. We've seen an underwater wonderland -- an incredible sculpture garden of twisted F-1 engines that tells the story of a fiery and violent end, one that serves testament to the Apollo program," Bezos wrote on his website Wednesday.

Higgs Boson Has Been Found

Physicists who last summer triumphantly announced the discovery of a new particle -- but held back from saying what it was -- declared on Thursday there was now little doubt it was the long-sought Higgs boson. Latest analysis of data from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) particle accelerator, where the boson was spotted as a bump on a graph early in 2012, "strongly indicates" it is the Higgs, said CERN. Physicists believe the boson and its linked energy field were vital in the formation of the universe after the Big Bang 13.7 billion years ago.

Experts Question So-Called HIV 'Cure'

Dr. Hannah Gay and her colleagues became the rock stars of the medical community this week after they announced at a conference last Sunday that they'd cured a 2-year-old of HIV by using an aggressive three-drug treatment that started when the little girl was only 30 hours old.

But with excitement comes confusion as experts question whether this so-called cure is real, and whether high doses of potentially toxic drugs should be administered before an HIV diagnosis can be confirmed.

WW II Enemies Discover 'Higher Call'

The B-17 pilot, Charles Brown, was a 21-year-old West Virginia farm boy on his first combat mission. His bomber had been shot to pieces by swarming fighters, and his plane was alone in the skies above Germany. Half his crew was wounded, and the tail gunner was dead, his blood frozen in icicles over the machine guns. But when Brown and his co-pilot, Spencer "Pinky" Luke, looked at the fighter pilot again, something odd happened. The German didn't pull the trigger. He nodded at Brown instead. What happened next was one of the most remarkable acts of chivalry recorded during World War II. Years later, Brown would track down his would-be executioner for a reunion that reduced both men to tears.
