What if google glass had a driving app. It could show you the speed limit and warn you when you're going over. So you don't have to keep on looking for speed signs when you're driving in areas your unaccustomed to. It could detect erratic driving and warn you to stay away from drunk drivers. It could show you your nav directions so you won't have to look down or near the radio for directions. It could detect adverse conditions and warn you before something happens. Like the car in front of you suddenly stopping and your distracted with your kids or fiddling with the climate control. It could tie into your car's sensors, when you try and change lanes with someone in your blind spot it could warn you about a possible collision. Tie it to a infrared camera so when your driving in rural areas in the night it could warn you of dangerous deer on the road.
There are multiple possibilities where it could help you be a better driver. Yes, you could use it for playing farmville or searching something, but an actual hud driving app would make your driving safer.
Explain how this is even possible. Sprint uses CDMA. It shares it's towers with Verizon and other CDMA carriers for roaming purposes. How in the hell is it possible to blame Sprint for no coverage if what you say is true, there would be no Verizon coverage there either. Even when i was in rural alabama i could at least get some weak signal coverage. The only times it ever goes out normally is when i'm in a subway.
.... You can integrate google voice with a bunch of SIP hardware devices like obihai 100/110. Getting it to integrate with google voice is a breeze. Getting 911 on it is a bit trickier, but without 911 it's a free to use phone number that can be access with your gmail account. Best thing is that once the device is up and running you plug your home phone into it.
I thought police were allowed unfettered access to people's homes in boston, in search of two suspects. Did they find anyone? Nope. It's not worth paying when it fails without any doubts.
Because every time you refresh you can show a new ad. Because hurr durr lets try and save some money, switch dictionaries around. Because a new manager/bean counter wants a fat raise.
I don't believe anyone has ever claimed that the NSA, CIA, whatever other alphabet soup agencies need to disclose everything they do. No one argues that the need for secrecy is warranted in most situations.
What people are outraged about is how agencies designed to spy on others is now spying on them. It's defiantly scope creep and against the constitution which makes it illegal. What's being called for is more transparency on those illegal activities which they've been doing for years. It needs to be shut down, and until it gets dismantled, there will be an outrage.
It takes some courage to come to a realization that what is being done is wrong and disclosing that information. If not the press, who exactly would you tell?
So... how much extra do you pay per year than a more efficient and harder working intel variation in terms of energy consumption? An i5-4670K is what, like 220$-250$? compared to your 8 core beast at 150$? Here: http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Core-i5-4670K-vs-AMD-FX-8120 The i5 beats it hands down in almost every benchmark. Maybe i was a bit unfair. Lets look at the best amd has to offer, the FX-8350. http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Core-i5-4670K-vs-AMD-FX-8350 . The i5 beats the AMD's 200$ top cpu in almost all categories including costing 1/2 the energy per year. That extra 20-30$ per year in electricity adds up.
Should i compare it to intel's top cpu? That's a kind of worthless comparison if it can't even beat it's mid line cpu. Yes the bottom end is dominated by amds. I myself run a a10-5700 as a server because it's a cheap all in one solution with a better onboard graphics component than anything intel has to offer. But this whole discussions is amd's top line of chips vs intels and how much cost saving's you'll have and i just don't see it from any point of view.
I said this before, but i'll say it again. Ok. So lets say in the perfect world you disable the device that was stolen. What's to prevent the thief from taking it apart and selling everything piece by piece on ebay? The digitizer, lcd, battery, frame, etc is all salvageable and can fetch a few hundred dollars. It's the electronic form of a chop shop. I don't see how this will curb thefts at all. It's not a technological solution that can solve this issue. It sounds like a really bad idea. If someone learns how to figure this out, along with honeypot type cell repeaters, i would honestly love to see a drone fly around disabling all iphones that connect to it.
Yeah, when i saw the video promo for it a year ago i thought it was a totally different product. I get the video camera, but i thought it would be more geared towards augmented reality. And for that i thought it would be cool enough to wear glasses.
The current implementation is just a small lcd screen a few inches from the eyes. How awful. Totally not worth it.
In a few years, if someone projects a display from the inside of the glasses to the inner lense to display over what the person sees, that will be the google glass i had anticipated. I could see myself using that. As well as flexible displays on contact lenses. That's the ultimate "glass" device.
This? Sounds like a fad. It would be cool if it replaced cell phones, but it sounds like it's just a bad concept.
They set up a captive portal on the trains, put the antennas on the outside. Probably just upgrading from a 3g cell card to one that supports 4g. The cell signal outside the rail car is much better than trying to get a signal inside a metal can. You're also assuming that everyone has a phone. What about wifi only devices? There's many a laptops that benefit from using the wifi/cell service they're providing.
Why use photoshop when you can use paint.net. I'm sure there are lots of cool things photoshop still does better, but paint.net hands down is the best free imaging editor i have seen in a long time.
google glass does solve a problem. When you see that hot chick walking down the street and you're like, damn, i wish i could record that. Well now you can(tm)!
wtf? get the frack out of here. Comparing battlestar galactica to the modern military.... might as well compare NCIS to police work or star trek to nasa. What can fiction tell us about anything? nothing, because it's not based on real life. What does abraham lincoln vampire hunter tell us about colonial life? Lots apparently.
I can't have children and i adopt. Am i afforded a few weeks to settle my family life and get time off? How is this even fair? Maybe if companies just gave enough time off for people to budget taking off for children without having to deal with m/paternity leave this wouldn't be an issue.
Nuclear energy is practically totally clean, can be made safer by using next gen reactors and upgrading old ones, can be made even more efficient by using fast reactor technology which burns off the radioactive byproducts. Why are we not doing this? Burning fossil fuels is dirty, but co2 is useful and can be captured from the atmosphere by plants. We already have infrastructure for it, and last i checked, Methane clathrate which is proven to be extractable is more than twice the calculated amount of oil on earth. Sounds like another 50+ years of energy stored in our backyard.
They were in star trek. They'll be around. Everyone likes phones for communication. Tablets will replace books eventually. Tablets will replace phones even. Think about a tablet with a flexible screen. One that you can roll up. Now think about a cell phone type stick device that you can put to your ear. Now think about pulling out a display for when you need to use it's screen. And then when you're done just let it roll back into the device. Welcome to the next tablet device. Blackberry is completely short sighted.
There will always be poor, there will always be hungry, there will always be poverty. There will always be greed. Why wait for those problems to be solved if there's no end to them and say something as exciting as human space travel for the masses is unimportant? If it helps bring down the costs and increases the amount of interest, it could one day be a solution to the poor since there are unlimited resources out there. The survival of every species on earth could depend on that innovation, research and excitement one day. Compared to what's at stake I would encourage you to keep an open mind.

but this was in place before and after 9-11. It didn't stop that, and it didn't stop the boston bombers. It only exists to be abused.

This is just a html scraper. People have had the same thing going on ebay for years. Suddenly it's hacking? Give me a break.
I can't wait for microsoft to pull a HP Touchpad firesale.
