Google.

05Dec09

Google has always seem to be faceless.  It was just Google.  But now, their developers are making videos explaining it to the nerdy people who have websites,  and basically let websites spread what they think is important out of their videos. They went from no faces to a mix of faces.  That’s a very cool way of looking at it.   It’s like, “everyone here is important.  Everyone gets a say. We don’t just have one Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, or Moses, or that doctor from Idiocracy, or that indian guy who co-invented the usb, who’s really just an actor,  in fact we dont have any actors, we just have all of the people that work for us, explaining the shit they’ve been working on.  But then again, those dudes could be actors too.  Google would be good at getting people to trust them, before they take over the world.

But anyway, here’s some creepy shit they can do.  Sure, you can disable it from using custom search,  but, you cant stop them from looking at your shit if they want to.   So, uhh, yeah.  Be careful out there.

Science fiction and technology. In the future, every invention ever seen in science fiction will exist.  They’re already working on it.

Obama is pushing for science and video games. Its about time.

Medical Marijuana for kids! Joey Perez was a danger to himself and others.

 


That’s insane.

In other large thing news.

Microsoft Surface.  It would be cool it it was like affordable enough to have like, all your tables be that. End tables, coffee table, kitchen table,  various other types of tables.  One day they’ll probably be that cheap…  or something better will be that cheap.

Well Wired’s got more pictures of big ass shit, like big ass planes and an explanation of what that crazy self-balancing boat lift in Scotland is.

Curved monitors.  $6,5o0.  By a Ostendo.  That’s Ostendo,  like Nintendo, only with an Os instead of a Nin.

There’s a video of a dude with 3 of them hooked up, playing a racing game with a steering wheel and all.   Why stop at three though?  Why not go the full 360 degrees?

 

I wonder when the touch screen versions will come out.

road trains.

11Nov09

So there’s like a lead bus, driving by the road conductor, or whatever they’d call him,  and he takes over control for what ever cars want to get in on it.

It’s all environmentally friendly and shit.

So the driver  of the cars in the train can do other things and not have to worry about driving.  They’d run up and down highways like trains.  You could just like hop on a train,  get wasted, ass out while watching a movie, wake up in the morning, cook yourself breakfast on a cigarette lighter powered hot plate, make your self some coffee for the road, and get off the train when you reach your exit.

It’s the fucking future man.

It’s inserted in a small incision, and unrolled under your skin.

Blood pumps through it to power it.

It monitors your blood, and is like a “human version of the check engine light”.

It’s absolutely insane.

A computer screen, in your arm.  It’s only a matter of time before it’s out, and affordable.

The fuckin’ future man.
