I was just cross country skiing this weekend and took a lesson from an instructor. He was giving me pointers, instructions, and critique on my form and technique, but it's hard to know what you're doing wrong and how his observations relate to what you're doing (right OR wrong) without visual feedback.
Then it hit me - a tablet with a camera would be perfect for this. He could record me skiing and then show me what I was doing and what could be done differently, all from one device large enough to be useful (not the small LCD screen common on video cameras) but not as cumbersome as a camera+laptop.
I think the iPad would be a tad too large, but something like a Galaxy tab would be perfect; small enough to fit into a pocket but with a usably large screen. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if coaches from all levels were already using a setup like this. I'm not sure if this is a "commercial" use but it just shows that yeah, these things can be used for tasks other than browsing and traditional "work".
First up, lock up your daughters, sons and dependants, because we're going to talk about sex.
If that doesn't say it all about the US's attitude writ large in the author's article.
If you can't objectively discuss sex without hiding it as a dirty topic from "innocent ears", then he's just answered his own musings in this article.
But really, are video games really any different from any other form of entertainment in general? Just take a look at your newstands, TV, and movie theaters and tell me if video games treat sex all that differently
What I'm a little confused about is that the CIA claims to have made fully flyable dragonfly-sized drones in 1970. I can't find it but wasn't here a slashdot story about this a while back?
The Kindle app that you use to purchase and view the content is free but it's advertised through the iTunes App Store, hosted on the servers, and delivered using the bandwidth. It costs Apple real money to provide a free service to Amazon and now Apple is looking to get some of that money back.
What kind of logic is this? Apple forces all apps to go through their app store exclusively. Implying that the Kindle app is kindly hosted there by the good graces of Apple is sophistry at its best. Then from there, to say that Apple deserves a 30% cut for something they're forcing app publishers to do is just plain... twisted.
So I assume that the "collaborative effort between forces in the UK, EU and the US" is also searching for the people behind the DDoS attacks on the Wikileaks site.
That's what we SHOULD learn from this. The US government, on the other hand, will just foist more security theater on the population by restricting access to baggage claim areas.
AURORA BOREALIS all the way.... WOOOO! What does this MEAN?!

Why the hate? Right on the front page of Body Browser it says:
To use Body Browser, you'll need a Web browser with WebGL support.
Click here to get the new Google Chrome beta,
or visit khronos.org for more choices.
I opted for the Canary build of Chrome since it allows parallel installation with the current Chrome release. Canary build loads the WebGL Body Browser just fine
It's really mind-boggling to think that we can still receive data from it. From that distance, it takes about 16 hours for the data to arrive. And to think, I can't even get a reliable cell phone signal at home.
I'm not defending these lawyers, but isn't this "kill all lawyers"-kinda indiscriminate punishment very much akin to what these lawyers are doing and what we're all railing against in the first place?
Logic fail. This is not something AndroidOS does. This is a hardware implementation by HTC/T-Mobile. Don't blame Android for HTC/T-Mobile's greed and control-freakishness.
Isn't firing up your laptop or cell phone to send that "tweet" just going to destroy your night vision? Sure, you're not going to need very long to recover but why ruin the fun?
On a tangent, I'm always surprised that I don't hear anything accompanying a meteor sighting. I'm always waiting for that FWOOSH or some sonic boom but it's eerily silent as the meteor goes streaking by. I guess I'm just too used to the SFX in movies.
I disagree. To pharase a quote applied to statistics: some use tech as a drunk uses a light post; for support rather than illumination.
the good teachers will rarely need more than a chalkboard and the best will rarely need even that. But throw all the tech you want at a bad teacher and they will still be crap.
If it's just facts about a product, why NOT give the information and let the consumer decide? If the facts can be used against one product over another, well that's what a company's PR and marketing department is for, no?
Do you know what their legal responsibility is? $75 million for cleanup, and $1000 per barrel in fines
Wrong. Their legal responsibility is $75 million PLUS removal costs, which is defined as
containment and removal of
oil or a hazardous substance from water and shorelines or the taking
of other actions as may be necessary to minimize or mitigate damage
to the public health or welfare, including, but not limited to,
fish, shellfish, wildlife, and public and private property,
shorelines, and beaches;
AND the limit doesn't apply if it's determined that there was gross negligence or willful misconduct (also from the linky above)
So no, BP can't just throw down $75 million worth of boom and walk away.
What I find fascinating is your animosity TOWARDS Obama and making BP out to be the hero and aggreived party. Let's be clear - BP is not the victim here. The gulf, its inhabitants, its beaches and the people who depend on all of that - they are the victims here.
I'd like to know how clean that filtered seawater really is. If that were tap water in the video instead of seawater, I'd be impressed if he were able to drink right out of that glass.
I would be really surprised if it were completely clean of all oil-related chemicals but I guess it's SOMETHING.
I know something is better than what's happening right now, but let's face it - the Gulf and its dependents are fucked for a really, really long time.
Slashdot Mirror
I don't understand the criticism. He can do the scanning but Libya and "unfriendly" forces have no idea how to do this?
and the best you could do was..."Individual Gunshot Detector"
And what's even weirder is that the acronym that TFA attaches to that is IDG.
LOL, IDK, shouldn't it be IGD?
Ah, but who's laughing now?

Your reasoning is redolent of Stockholm syndrome.
what if you weren't the one driving while intoxicated? good luck trying to prove that to your insurance company.
and some go after cybercriminals.
So I assume that the "collaborative effort between forces in the UK, EU and the US" is also searching for the people behind the DDoS attacks on the Wikileaks site.
Right? Right? [crickets...]
i am sure they can find one or two adjectives here...

Why the hell does an investment bank, who normally act as a "service provider" want to take a direct stake in a Social networking company ?
um... not to state the obvious... but because they're an investment bank and see a lot of money potential?

try riding any significant distance with regular shorts and see how that works out for you.
it's not about going faster. it's about the right clothing for the right sport.
ps - if you're staring at the guys (as opposed to the gals), you're doing it wrong.
