Fortunately, 4.4 includes the ability to emulate the secure element, so if your device is fortunate enough to receive the update you might be able to without AT&T being able to intervene.

Truly impressive specs/build for the price. Can anyone shed light on whether $179 off-contract is low enough to be successful in its target markets (Brazil, Europe, Asia)?

I'm well aware of that, but the UI is nowhere near as convenient and targeted sharing doesn't play as central a role. "Circles" was the major differentiating feature when G+ launched.

The scenario you describe is precisely why I like G+'s circles; every post and every photo shared is shared with a specific subset of my contacts. The vast majority of my posts on G+ are targeted at only a fraction of my friends.

You might find these examples from LeNet interesting. They are examples of unusual styles of digits that the system correctly recognized, made of dashed lines, bubbles, and dots. Granted this system only recognized digits, but it's not

Did you even read the post? They specifically mentioned sharing things in private. Of the friends I have who use Google+, most exclusively post privately.

Also of note is the price: it was briefly listed on the Play Store with the 16GB model going for $349.

DARPA also financed the Internet. I think we can expect similar public benefits to come out of this research one day.

To be fair, ASIMO is not even in the same league as ATLAS or any of Boston Dynamics' other projects. I've always gotten the feeling that ASIMO is more of a press play by Honda.

Wow. And I thought it was cool seeing self-driving cars around Google's campus. Boston Dynamics must be one interesting place to work.

I believe this is strictly supervised learning. The mechanical turk is only used for the initial labeling of the data.

I remember thinking back when they first launched that a Google acquisition could be good for both parties. Congrats to the team, can't wait to see how your technology gets developed and deployed!

They don't claim that it's technologically similar to Lytro, just that it can offer similar functionality. To get any idea of what they mean, watch the YouTube demo at the end of the post[1]. At about 1:37 they show off being able
