Google Goes For More
Feb 12th @ 6:00AM
Well, it seems everyones favorite internet company is trying to take another leap forward. This time on two fronts. For one by promising language translation software that works right from your cellphone. The second is their new social networking tool, Buzz.
Let’s talk cellphone interpreter first. The basic plan is to create software that can translate on the fly, letting us break through a few language barriers as we traipse across the globe. While this would be totally awesome, even with the ambiguous time-table [...]
Robots, Still Science Fiction?
Jan 30th @ 6:00AM
Ok, I was reading an article in Popular Mechanics talking about some of the advancements in robotics (term coined by Asimov, I already knew that though) and some of the social, legal and ethical challenges this sci-fi field faces. Then they mentioned this video:
Mostly it seems people are a little creeped out by it. But the guy who wrote the PM article claims that seeing it in person, seeing it move like we do, immediately wins you over. He also [...]
Creating a ‘Better Place’
Jan 28th @ 6:00AM
Some of you may know I write for Rhombus Online Magazine, where you will soon be able to find this post as well. With that, Mr. P pointed me at Better Place, as a request to write an article for them, which I obviously did. So what is Better Place?
Simply put, Better Place is a company trying to do for the auto industry what has long been a pipe-dream for every clean-energy, clean-car nut since the ’60s, by making electric [...]
Not Just a Processor
Jan 24th @ 6:00AM
This post was spurred by looking at Mr. Lewis’ new computer. Mainly due to the fact he was running OS X on a home built Intel Core i7. Now, that may mean nothing to some of you, but that means the middle-named N had to make sure all his hardware was Apple friendly, because as I learned, their operating system is picky. That is the true mark of a Mac enthusiast, will they go out of their way to run [...]
The Legacy of Tron
Jan 18th @ 5:00AM
Here’s one for the record books. Tron was easily the most visually stunning movie to ever come out… at the time of release, which was 1982. This was the first time a movie relied so heavily on non-traditional/practical FX. Something we see running rampant in the past decade (Star Wars prequels, Avatar, etc). It was a surprise hit from Disney and has since become an ultimate cult classic. If you’re like me, this movie probably came out before you were [...]
Nexus One, Another HTC/Google Home Run
Jan 8th @ 12:00PM
Would you like to know the best advertisement spot in the world? The Google home page. I mean, millions of people hit that site every day, you can’t ask for better product placement. And that’s exactly where I first heard about the Nexus One. It just sounds cool. Then I took a closer peek, it didn’t disappoint. I have two problems with this phone though, it has no physical keyboard and it looks remarkably like that iPhone.
The good things? It’s the second [...]
