Add this capability into a phone, and you could have some very interesting augmented reality.

Can I make a request to see these as a bar graph? It's a bit hard to compare the size of some of the slices visually.

Anything like this that will run in a linux windows manager?

We'll probably see a lot more of things like this as eReaders keep getting more popular, and it won't be a whole lot longer before your local torrent sites are full of textbooks as well as the music and movies.

I hope this could also be used when filming to have the mic directed at the target instead of the person holding the phone.

I'd like to hear more about the process of finding a manufacturer. In particularly, the back and forth between working on prototypes and tweaking the hardware and relaying the information to the manufacturer. Also, how important the connect

I'm currently working on prototypes for a potential hardware start up, and I'd love to hear more from the HN community that has dealt with that hardware software interaction for a start up. This place seems pretty software focused, but ther

Flash on linux is currently less than stellar, and I see that as something that would be used pretty commonly. Any ideas on how they plan to deal with that?

The title really should be "The Myth of Forced Recycling" I guarantee you there are efficient and even profitable ways to recycle, but those not only don't require the use of force but will be made less efficient by its presence. That being

It's one thing for bloggers and commentators to say that the industry should move to more open digital formats, but I find it impressive that a group that mostly sells books, literature and movies is now releasing them all on bittorrent as

This is a question I've often posed to friends of mine, and the responses I've gotten seem to point to societal pressure. Most women whom I've asked have said that they were told at some point in their careers that they couldn't or shouldn'

Engadget, Hack a Day, Hacked Gadgets for my hardware news, but it's pretty tough to beat HN. You can always use an RSS reader and sync with all of the blogs that get most often linked to here.

At first I was shy of upvoting the article on HN, but I hope your comment clears up its relevancy for anyone else.

I would be more interested in one if the price was lower or if it included color.

The wikipedia article on Overpopulation does seem to mention some controversy over the carrying capacity of the earth, with the U.N. saying it should be in between 1 and 2 billion. Does anyone have any good research papers that might say so

I'm most excited by the chip built into this. With a Dual ARM processor combined with 24 processing elements, this thing could have loads of potential. Edit: Check out the data sheets http://www.zii.com/Technology/ResourceLibrary.aspx

I don't really care about the claims. I'm more interested, like the singularityhub, in personal fitness research. Does anyone know of any resources on the topic? Even good phone apps or tracking programs would be cool. I'm interested in t

This is a start in the right direction. If this was combined with markerless motion capture and cloth physics simulator, then this might be more viable, but that's obviously a good ways off. Until something like that is created, I'm not s

Can anyone give me some basic cost estimates for running a blog like this? Obviously it fluctuates depending on usage, but even a ball park would help. Currently I'm planning on doing my blog off of webfaction with Django, but I'm not sure
