YouTube has a much better video than the one linked in the article that contains the process they went through and talks about the capture and projection intended by the inventor.

I was going to provide the original link to the National Media Museum (which for the curious is here: http://www.nationalmediamuseum.org.uk/PlanAVisit/Exhibitions/LeeAndTurner.aspx ) ...but it's the same video anyway.

What intrigues me is that they apparently blew it to 35mm first instead of going straight to digital.

Democrat must be destroyed. Are you talking about ending Democracy? Why? Likely you're just another Republican who spends too much of their time listening to angry men on the radio.

Order from Allied 2.5 months ago. After hearing about the USB and Ethernet reliability issues I decided to cancel (literally this morning). Bought the Rikomagic MK802II instead. I should get it in 2 weeks too.

Here's a side by side comparison of the MK802 vs the Rasp. Pi.

http://youtu.be/YKNPnBE-ouI

From my understanding, the Pi still beats the MK802 on price and GPIO (addressed in the video).

No, it's not. As Nokia admits, the 920 doesn't have the image stabilization yet. It hasn't been demonstrated, because they haven't even gotten a working prototype.

There is another video that explicitly claims to be demonstrating OIS on Lumia 920.

No, it's not. As Nokia admits, the 920 doesn't have the image stabilization yet. It hasn't been demonstrated, because they haven't even gotten a working prototype.

Sure about that?

If you took an iPhone 4S and had a perfectly silent room with a trained speaker, and an 802.11n connection to a local server to do the decoding and searching, you could get the same results.

If you need that many qualifiers to bring the idealized version to reality, then no, it's not the same. And what about the 3G commercial you seem to be completely bypassing, which is showing a 3G connection working 3x faster than possible? How is that not lying.

Look, I don't even think what Apple is doing in their ads is bad. I think it's fine. They're depicting the function of their product in an idealized setting in a dramatized way to demonstrate its capabilities. I get that. I'm fine with that. But I don't see how that is substantially different than depicting the capabilities of OIS in an idealized, dramatized way to demonstrate the capabilities of OIS on the 920.

Yes, there is plenty of it (Monty Python) :)

And they inspire touching songs.

This (NSFW) seems an appropriate response...

See this video with an attempted ranking.

About its purpose in Judaism, here's what Maimonides wrote:

"[W]ith regard to circumcision, one of the reasons for it is, in my opinion, the wish to bring about a decrease in sexual intercourse and a weakening of the organ in question, so that this activity be diminished and the organ be in as quiet a state as possible. [...] How can natural things be defective so that they need to be perfected from outside, all the more because we know how useful the foreskin is for that member? [...] The bodily pain caused to that member is the real purpose of circumcision. [...] The Sages, may their memory be blessed, have explicitly stated: "It is hard for a woman with whom an uncircumcised man has had sexual intercourse to separate from him." In my opinion this is the strongest of the reasons for circumcision."

The words of Kellogg, the man behind much of its popularization in the US:

"A remedy which is almost always successful in small boys is circumcision, especially when there is any degree of phimosis. The operation should be performed by a surgeon without administering an anæsthetic, as the brief pain attending the operation will have a salutary effect upon the mind, especially if it be connected with the idea of punishment... In females, the author has found the application of pure carbolic acid to the clitoris an excellent means of allaying the abnormal excitement."

I'm sorry but you have on possible way of knowing what is real. Ever read of "Plato's Cave"? Your reality lives in your head, and at best the hundred billion nerve impulses flowing in from the ends of your nervous system are winnowed down to something like a few important facts about your physical reality that may impinge on survivability (however you define that.) Even those few bits of information are shaped and transformed by context, psychological filters, opinions, beliefs and world view. Experiment after experiment demonstrate the huge gulf between boundless reality and that small thing called human perception. So tell me how you would prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that you aren't in the matrix right now plugged into a generated reality?

Friend, this isn't the movies... its not CGI, this isn't a bunch of mannequins being tossed off of high buildings. This is human trash raping babies. Religious whack jobs dismembering and disemboweling "infidels", this is people blowing up small cute furry critters that others would call pets. If you can watch a steady diet of that for 40 hours a week, 52 weeks a year and say "Eh, bad people doing bad things, Eh..." Then I might I suggest a job in politics or perhaps marketing, because you have no soul.

I think I've seen this before on some other similar article, but I think it's relevant:

Go the fuck home

I've seen this plenty at work. People don't leave until the boss or others leave, and so you don't leave, and they don't leave, and then all of a sudden everyone has been there WAY too late and did useless crap for awhile.

The real rule is: Don't make women (or men) uncomfortable. You can do just about anything if you can do it without making them uncomfortable.

What you're usually told is no sex, sexuality, sexual jokes/references, or touching of any kind ever. Good in that it's clear and unambiguous, and you can't get in trouble for it even if you don't really understand what makes women uncomfortable and how to tell when you're crossing that line. The only downside is that you won't be hooking up at the office/conference/whatever. Fine enough for most, but for those who know how to read these situations and are willing to take some risks, some really crazy things are possible.

There's a movie from 1969 starring Ringo Starr and Peter Sellers called the "Magic Christian". It explains everything. Oh, and pay special attention to the "Pheasant Hunt". The take down at "Mega Uploads" was precisely a pheasant hunt.

I got rid of cable but comcast offers the blast package that comes with cable and internet for 10 dollars less than what i was paying for just internet. i thought to myself that even though i wouldnt be using the cable part of the package ten dollars less a month for internet service was better than what i had before so i got it. my wife uses the cable but i hate coming home to see that she has been watching that crap all night and i partially feel a little hurt that she patronizes cable at all. she likes food network but it is the stupidest thing ever. if you are interested in cutting the cord, i like many others use xbox media center or xbmc. here is a little video that i made showing my system. http://youtu.be/mCSZ9xTzDj4

This is a perfect example. You have the Beatles version of "Baby Its You", epic old school Rock and Roll, "Smith" turns out the same song and drives it home with a soulful late 60s hint of acid, then the Carpenters do a version full of lush vocals and soft jazz accompaniment. All in less than 10 years. You'd never see this today. All the versions are awesome, completely different and completely honor the spirit of the song. Each is marked by a standout vocal performance, and each would be completely appreciated by different listeners (or somebody with really broad musical tastes.)

You'd have a hard time getting past the legal problems of doing these kind of covers today with a song still being performed by an artist and on the charts. The bankers would go into spastic colon spasms and their legal minions would begin suing everything in sight. There's no more room for art. Worse, America has been lead and bred on a diet of vacuous audio sewage... all I hear is radio Gaga. There was a time when rap was dangerous, and minds bright and angry poured out lyrics that cut to the soul and spoke volumes of what it meant to live on mean streets. Most of the rap today is formulaic and so shallow, you could wade through it and barely get your feet wet.

Where's the Jazz, where's the Rock-a-Billy, Folk, Punk, Classic Electronica. Anyone remember ELP, Tangerine Dreams, Vangelis, Tomita, Eno, Kraftwerk, Jean Michael Jarre, Alan Parson's Project. We've gone from Alan Parson's "Lucifer" to Electronica, which is bland, repetitive noise for dancing. Even cutting edge band like "Daft Punk" who were good enough to have music in the TRON remake, are hardly more than a shadow of classically trained and insanely inventive artists of the 60s,70s and 80s. Here's a guy who invented the guitar synthsizer in the 70s. Here's something he just recorded. Its call "Lead Works", his name is Timo Laine. Tell me why I can't hear this on a radio today? The guy is still ripping it up.

We need to take American Idol, a step further and give young people a place to experiment. To hear all that was great, and then give them giants on whose shoulders they may stand. Music is the byproduct of a healthy culture, it heals its sick and celebrates its magnificence. Its time to wrest back the future from small and greedy minds who would squander it on personal gratification. Our art. Our souls. Its time to make them all dance.

From a technology angle, contacts simple can't work for this application. You can't read text that's not directory in the center of your view.

Ah, but you don't look at things that aren't in the center of your view... You're thinking of traditional 2D displays, but that's not how this will work.

I've been working on a 3D GUI system.
Other game developers are toying with 3D UI as a decorative gimmick, but I'm focused on usability -- a GUI must be usable above all else. Once I removed the limitations of having everything conform to square regions of pixels I realised that a more natural and usable user interface could be created.

For instance, I track the mouse location and rotate & tilt the view to simultaneously move things towards the cursor as it moves towards thems, and reveal more interface surface in the direction the cursor is moving. This means I can pack more widgets into the UI, but leave them at the edge of periphery vision (or off the screen) unless needed. This assumes your attention is focused in the direction of the mouse cursor; In the future I will enable head and eye movement vector tracking (and use the tech for more than just games).

You incorrectly assume that the contact lens display won't NECESSARILY sense and react to changes of eye orientation in world space just to be able to keep overlays positioned correctly.

In short: You are wrong. The video itself addresses the issue.

I shouldn't be posting this:

"On the other hand, maybe it is better that NASA is out of the picture. It does seem that the few private companies are making more progress in 5 years than NASA can in 15."

Maybe NASA should be focusing efforts on something aside from space suits, this seems to be a reasonable criticism, however questioning progress seems a bit absurd considering they believe the chemical propulsion system is currently the best it will ever be. A bit more funding and license to explore nuclear sources may demonstrate their capabilities.

Most of the comments I've read seem to run along the "You juvenile misogynist bastard! Get with the 21st Century!" but folks, consider that if an all-male shop is running well then maybe tossing a female into that mix isn't such a great idea. Before I'm attacked for saying that, re-read the article. It creates a situation where an employee is suddenly 'entitled' not on the basis of what they've done, but on who they are. Hopefully this new hire will make a real effort to fit into the existing culture and not try to instead mold it into hers. I am NOT saying I'm in favor of bosses saying, "Sleep with me or be fired," but joking back and forth and even innuendo are just part of human interaction. Perpend: http://youtu.be/gBVuAGFcGKY
