    google glass is not an hud for the car, unlike those used by pilots.

  2. Re:Reinforcing the term on Google Glass User Fights Speeding Ticket, Saying She's Defending the Future · · Score: 3, Interesting

    "installed" means kept, nothing more. and a dash mounted tablet is legal as long as you keep it in car mode, and don't get caught watching youtube on it while driving. google glass is clearly a huge distraction while driving. if talking on a cellphone is illegal, then wearing google glass should also be illegal.

    i'm saying your choice is wrong because there is nothing better than e-ink for reading books. once you read on a kindle, you dont go to an lcd/oled.

    it's kind of baffling though, why have inferior hardware in the us?

    I predict the same will be happening to phones and pads within the next 2 years as you already have Nvidia up to pentacores and Samsung up to hexacores so just like PCs ...

    galaxy s4 and note 3 already have 8 cores.

    the sensor is actually bigger than most point and shoot cameras. combine that with that humongous megapixel number and i'm sure the images will turn out pretty good.

    image stabilization is not digital in the 1020, afaik. its accomplished by physically moving the lens assembly in response to movement detected by the gyro and accelerometer.

    there's a couple of problems that i've not yet figured out how to solve. one, it can't hibernate. i think its a consequence of using wubi/mubi to install mint and it can't be helped. two, it can't sleep/wake as well! earlier builds used to be able to sleep. not this one. it sleeps ok, but can't wake. three, the bluetooth works sometimes, and doesn't work on other times. i haven't been able to figure out a pattern so haven't been able to solve this.
