Remember that recent Tron reboot? They put a young Jeff Bridges in it. That was a major special effects studio, working with a huge budget, and it still looked pretty fake.
Finding a fat guy that looks a heck of a lot like Ford would be more feasible.
That would be why icleberry specified "such a car". The point of the Tesla vehicles is certainly not just to go from one place to another. They make sports cars.
Even if it only works as a preventative, it could be a huge step up from current treatment. The current standard for treating MS is interferon injections, which are expensive, not very effective, and come with a host of nasty side effects.
I personally suffer from human consciousness, and I'll tell ya, it ain't easy.
For most sufferers, fits of consciousness often last 16 hours or more and cause serious feelings of confusion and frustration. Sometimes I wake up in the morning, and I don't even know the nature of my own being.
There are several disease modifying medications available to sufferers of consciousness, but they are highly restricted and come with a whole host of side effects.
Oh man taking my phone out and hitting a button is so hard. If only I could get the same functionality by shaving my head, lubing it up a bit, sticking some pads to it, and then entering a hypnotic state.
Especially in the modern console market. The Playstation and Xbox consoles have almost identical libraries these days. If one console has an unacceptable feature, we can always use the other.
One also needs to note, that a watch is unlikely to have the screen real estate need for texting/email. Even when paired with Glass, I'm having a hard time seeing how this tech can replace our phones.
Glass isn't looking all that good for overlays. It doesn't incorporate your whole field of vision; just a small square in the top right corner. Think less AR, more HUD.
Maybe the watch tie-in with Glass will have to do with typing. After all, voice commands can only take you so far.
Here's a (corny) video that shows how typing can be accomplished on a watch:

Assuming that we could get the positions and synaptic weights from this data, what's to stop us from making a neural network to reproduce the function of this fish brain?
So EA doesn't care about making money? That seems unlikely. Sure SimCity sold over a million copies of a broken game, but it easily could have sold more. After all, this is Sim-fucking-City, one of the most popular franchises of all time.
Have you seen the EA stock price since they started pulling this crap? Their CEO just stepped down. You can't claim that this scam of theirs is actually working.
I agree that going to the gym is just too time consuming for many people, especially nerds. But on the other hand, trying to get a real workout on the job is only feasible for the very few people that have equipment/showers in there offices.
The happy medium here is working out at home. You'd be surprised how little space you need, just a little more space than what's taken up by a yoga mat will do. And you don't need any equipment at all, although a few things (weights, bands, etc.) are nice to have.
If you don't know enough exercises to get the job done, you could try one of the exercise mobile apps out there. Or you could grab one of the workout videos like Insanity - that will burn the lard off your ass in a hurry.
This horrible DRM has created a huge amount of negative press, and prevented piracy for around a week. Now that a hack exists, not only is piracy not prevented, but the pirates get a clearly superior version of your product. As a result, many kids will be driven to try the pirated version, and thus educated on how easy torrenting and patching a game can be. You may even have inspired some burgeoning young hackers to learn how to crack your future games!

But still a far cry from risking their lives for the cause.

We eat them! Problem solved.

Because it's going to be used on a person's organs?
Well his ideas won anyway. It's still hard to call getting shot in the face a win.

And the market will show that the vast majority of gamers could not care less whether an Internet connection is required or no
And what is this based on? Just look at the outrage that these tweets have caused. It looks to me like gamers do care.
It's going to run Android... so that should be doable.
I think the encryption is kind of nice. Stops the April Fools jokes from looking like real articles. Not that this particular joke was super subtle.

Or maybe, just maybe, Ethan's Dad is a marketing genius, and his marketing plans involve using his 12 year old son.

Ugh, Americans. I bet you couldn't even point out Miscellaneous on a map.
if I make a gimmick app?

You just ruined my day. Couldn't you just let me believe in the Ukrainian murder dolphins?
It sounds like it could also be used to exchange bluetooth credentials, like what Beam does with NFC for larger file transfers.
