Some trending news topics 🙂
Should the FCC look for a link between mobile phones and cancer?— What kind of question is that? Should they look? It’s their effing job to look! When it comes to our health… it’s everybody’s job.
Google reports that the Increase in government censorship requests is troubling
Microsoft's new Surface Tablet — Looks like Microsoft is throwing their hands into the hardware ring, with a tablet that borrows a bit from the French Archos Tablet. I have no great faith in Microsoft’s software, so their hardware leaves me equally incredulous until I see it in action. At least like the Android tablets, it comes with usb and sd ports, unlike the Ipad. Performance and price will decide if the Surface, stays above water.
Womb like Hush Chair?— Hmmm, yeah I can see this being a lawsuit waiting to happen, as a rash of suffocations hit the news. Doh! :). Kind of reminds me of an overgrown beanbag chair. 🙂 .
Overview of Highlight App —Called a real-world Awareness app, if you’re someone like me who hasn’t drunk the koolaid, I would call it a tracking tool. Basically if you’re out an about and any of your facebook/twitter “friends” are within 50 yards of you, this app will push a notification to you of where the person is and how far from you they are, etc.
Damn. Do you really need to know who is or is not near you at every minute of the day? If they are your friend, pick up the phone and call them if you want to know what they are doing. But Nooo! Let’s create an app to make a person’s location constantly broadcasted everywhere he or she goes, to all his online ‘friends’.
It’s the beginnings of an incredibly effective tracking tool. And more than a bit of a pretty staggering stalking and surveillance tool. You kids and your toys, I think you like any excuse to give up your privacy and your freedom (In the paraphrased words of both Loki and Doctor Who :)).
Enormous 90″ LED TV— A 90″ 3D television that costs $10000?? 3D is good for a lark once in a while at the local cinema, to see that Hollywood blockbuster, but to bring it in your home as a constant? Guys if you want 3D that bad at home, try turning the TV off and talking to your family, or going out to the park. Uhhh… that stuff is naturally in 3D, and no $10000 TV needed! 🙂
Face book buys Face.com, a face recognition company.— Yeah, this is going to be a good thing…not
