notice how the officer is now standing at a 90 degree angle to the person he is talking with? Seems they figured out how to subvert that countermeasure pretty quickly. Also an officer will never approach your vehicle door head-on either, they always walk along the side of your car and poke there head around to corner into your window - they are trained to do it this way because it is safer. The only thing this would really be useful for is when pursuing a fleeing suspect
Doctor: Sir, I'm afraid I have some bad news. Your heart is going to explode. We'll need to perform emergency surgery right away. Patient: But....today is saturday! I don't wanna die - can it wait until monday? Doctor: If you don't have it now there is a a 75% chance you will not live until monday Patient: yea...I think I'll take my chances and wait until monday thank you very much
Awesome! Now opera is just like chrome, but without that annoying....uhhhh -- it just like chrome, but with way better....uhhh....hmmmmm. Ok, I guess opera is dead then.
forgive me if this is a stupid question, but what was wrong with the fish-eye lens? it seems to me the it would be easier to correct for distortion with a fish eyes (constant radius) then having to deal with the Kaleidoscope effect of a bug-eye lens
Ok, so lets say that hypothetically you can print all the parts for a gun. Who is gonna put the damn thing together for you? From what I gather gunsmithing is not something just anyone can do in there basement. You think the gunsmith down the road is gonna do it for you?! Hell no, he will lose his licence for making a gun with no serials on it and then he's out of a job. Are you gonna go to school and learn to do it yourself - then you might as well build a REAL gun with no serials on it
That was my first thought too, but the issue in not a lack of resources/computing power, but the number of people available to analyse visual data. They need to convert the visual data into something that any human can identify as falling into group A or group B (or c, etc)
1)return your alarm system
2)keep the sticker on your door from the alarm company
3)put a big pair of mens boots, and a dog bowl that says "killer" out front
You don't need to have an expensive alarm system, you just need to make people THINK you do
google chrome can do it with webrtc from what I understand, and it is coming soon in firefox, but support for it in other browsers is lacking and a long ways off. Many android users are still screwed as far as in-browser video and will be for a long time. More importantly, there are no sites that I am aware of that actually make use of it. Even google hangouts does not use webrtc.
the security researcher has revealed that they are already in possession of a functional untethered iOS 6 and iOS 6.1 beta 4 jailbreak
wouldn't this require iOS to be functional to start with? This truly is quite the feat!
when it comes to monitoring yourself this is useless since alcohol lowers your ihibition and blocks clear thinking. A better solution would be for bars to use these glasses to assist in monitoring the amount of alcohol a patron has consumed. As it is now they just have guess based on your behaviour, but some people get depressed dwhen the are drunk which I imagine is much harder to spot compared to someone yelling and screaming and tripping over there own feet. When a bar is heavily packed bartenders are moving fast and pay little attention to customers. If the glasses could be outfitted with an RFID chip this would allow a bar to track exactly what drink a patron had and how fast they drank it. If a bartender sees your glass is red (or invisibly to you, it shows a warning to the bartender on screen) the bartender knows to keep an eye on you or to refuse to serve you if your sobriety is questionable. Sure, there is nothing stopping someone from stealing there friends empty glass and getting another drink, but if you steal your friends glass then THEY can't get another drink until the glass changes color and you have someone who is more clear-headed in the group to keep an eye on the others

Facebook is an american company freedom of speech, even speech we dont like is legal
it is so sad that you actually believe that

at least this approach involves the police, as opposed to some of their other just-let-us-handle-it schemes

Nobody gets hurt, everybody stays safe
Maybe not thought commands, but new types of input for the device for sure
Everyone knows OSS doesn't have defects, it just develops random features

I think it is time you upgraded from firefox 2.0
Even the "google goggles" app on my phone can recognise logos
I can see the police confusing the two, but slashdot?!
1)return your alarm system
2)keep the sticker on your door from the alarm company
3)put a big pair of mens boots, and a dog bowl that says "killer" out front

You finally make this futuristic device and it turns out it really isn't that practical or is too futuristic to be cool with anyone but nerds
Does it run blockdude?

How about we get proper html5 video first, instead of this flash player nonsense

the difference being that I actually believed the assange story. Mcafee gives no explaination for why the police supposedly want him dead
