Geo-location can be a scary thing, I mean putting yourself out there on a map (of all places) for everyone to see sounds like an insane thing to do, but for anyone who’s up for it can enjoy the luxury of knowing where their friends are — there are upsides and downsides to Geo-based apps. Below is a pretty slick summary of who took the risk and is reaping the benifits.
When someone asks us to think of “a tech company”, connections start firing off in our geek brains. Google, Apple, Microsoft and hundreds more pop into our minds and then the brands they’ve each influenced and maybe some products. What’s interesting though is even if we realize these companies are connected, we don’t really know how deeply connected they actually are. This diagram really lays it out perfectly and shows that everything is one giant mesh of ideas.
An invisibility cloak made from carbon nanotube sheets sounds like something out of a James Bond film doesn’t it? I mean, you can see that a switch is flicked and something vanishes but whats more exciting is that we may be able tape ourselves to the top of a car, put a cloak on it and make it look like we’re flying like Superman!
They’re coming. Can you feel it? Our robot overlords are getting stronger, better, and faster. Not sure if they’re getting harder, but you get the point! Asimo has been the leading robot for quite some time, and it would seem that with each passing year he becomes more and more lifelike. I say we pull the plug before it gets too late, but then again that’s just me. I’ve seen enough movies with a human apocolypse brought about by robot-kind to think anything otherwise.
Adobe said to it’s developers yesterday that “[They] will no longer adapt Flash Player for mobile devices to new browser, OS version or device configurations.” Instead, Adobe will be investing much more time and money in building HTML5 tools and products to help usher in a new age of development for the web and mobile devices. That said, Adobe will continue to support and provide critical updates and fixes to current deployments of Flash, but they will not be making any further development on Flash for new mobile devices and websites.
Can you feel it? The Master Sword between your fingertips. A little over a week from now the general public will finally be given the chance to lay their hands on the origin tale of how the “blade of evil’s bane” got to be Link’s. There’s a buzz in the air like never before in recent memory for a Nintendo property for Skyward Sword, and this ad only just gives us more goosebumps as we patiently await for the biggest Zelda game to date.
“People go to their TV to turn their brain off, but people go to their PC to turn their brain off! These things aren’t gonna be together…and I don’t think it’s going to happen,” so said Steve Jobs back in the late 20th century. Little would he know that his final frontier before his sudden death would be an attempt try to get the two to work seamlessly together.
