I expect these will be probably hard mounted to moving surfaces during sporting events. The event that comes to mind is obviously motor racing, specifically Nascar. I think being able to experience crashes in 3D stereoscopic would be a big

There is no such thing as a free lunch. This is simply an example of this in effect. If people want full internet access.. pay for it. There is no story here.

This is exactly why my girlfriend and I always use our PFD's with harnesses when passagemaking and alternating watches. It's a simple thing to strap into the jacklines and all but eliminates our fears about this sort of thing happ

I don't know what the original author is talking about to be honest. When I use Facebook, my feed is filled with friends & family posts and the very occasional ad. To really put it into perspective, I just opened my Facebook now, f

If they really wanted to go after the note-taking market hard, they should have created a way to have the "eraser" in the opposite end of the stylus rather than have to go through a menu system to modify notes. For me then, it wou

Back in the day it was a very promising game. I distinctly remember sitting in a computer lab at Uni watching the dev demo for Halo on a Mac and daydreaming about buying one, specifically to play this game in 1999-ish

It is really astonishing the amount of anti-Facebook hate in this thread. Yes, this isn't part of Facebook's core competency. They still bought it. Could it mean Facebook is attempting to diversify? How about lets wait and see wha

This would be extra great if we could integrate it with Evernote. I already do similar stuff with the Evernote Clipper for saving content, but if I could also share on social networks and do the Evernote clipping in the same workflow it wou

Try getting sternly lectured for 10 minutes because because you held the door open for a stranger to be polite. That's when you know shit gotten real. For the record, I routinely hold open doors for people that I know are behind me and

I read the original article and was quite intrigued at the premise (a game about document inspecting, how novel), so I shelled out the $10 and bought the game. Gotta say, after only playing the game for about 20 minutes your review was enti

Same, virtual assistant. I could conceivably see someone utilising OpenCV to "try" to measure attractiveness. I could also see someone trying sentiment analysis with NLTK... but farming it out to a low paid worker is just insane.
