Did you know that terror suspects, mob enforcers and women get spooked when stared at in public? Do you wish you could ogle/keep tabs on/both ogle AND keep tabs on these people?
POOF
Feast your eyes with the new Spy Contacts (not yet in beta)! The idea is that these are one-way see through contact lenses that have a digital image of an iris on the front, and sensors on the back. when your actual eye looks in a direction, the iris projection on the contacts looks in the other direction. It’s like in post production of Episode 1 when Lucas changed which way Jake Lloyd was looking. Only not really.
So now, ..read more

Boeing’s oft-delayed new jet, the 787, has many useful attributes. Like it is really light, so it saves on fuel.

At the end of last week the books and eBooks of the America’s largest publisher Macmillan disappeared from the pages of America’s largest online vendor, Amazon.com.
What would bring on such a happenstance?
Well it all started earlier in the week with the announcement of the iPad. See Steve Jobs promised the world that with his iBookstore the publishers would hold more control over the prices set for the book. Macmillan was one of the publishers who had signed on to provide content for the iPad.
Shortly thereafter Macmillan sat down with Amazon and outlined their view on increasing the cost of eBooks for Amazon’s Kindle, somewhere in the range of $3-5 for ..read more

As we — and the rest of humanity — noted yesterday, Apple launched a new device called the iPad.
The device is essentially a super-sized iPod Touch, and was the culmination of more than a decade of rumors.
The tech geek world promptly started peeing all over it — and not in a positive, possessive or fetishistic way — the pee was filled with hate and derision.
“Where is the multitasking environment?” they shrieked. “It’s a closed-ended architecture — it’s not even a real computer!” they cried.
Listen up, geeks and haters, because I’m only going to say this once — take it to heart:
The iPad was not made for you.

Steve Jobs wowed the crowd and underwhelmed the general geekery today with the unveiling of Apple’s newest gadget de jour. Within minutes of the announcement of the name…iPad…the world o’ Twitter let out a collective meh and quickly degenerated into a bunch of jokes pertaining to feminine hygiene.
Personally I wasn’t all that impressed. Looking at it, it is a jumbo sized iTouch for the most part with the capability of connecting to AT&T’s 3G network. But it did have some wow factor to it, enough so to make me actually want to plunk down at least $500 bucks for one.
General thoughts?
Outside of the jumbo iTouch solution, I really found myself ..read more
Keeping with the App theme, my brother’s latest iPhone app was just released on iTunes. It’s called iWeapons Guns Pro and is pretty kickin’. It’s got four different weapons to choose from, including a flame thrower, which makes me happy.
On an unrelated note I totally had a dream last week where a Terminator was after me but luckily I had a shotgun app on my phone; not an animated app but an actual shotgun. Of course I kept on forgetting to check the safety (the vibrate/ring switch of course).
I’ve got three coupon codes if anyone wants to check it out. Just leave a comment telling me which weapon would destroy terminators most efficiently ..read more
A father of two was trapped in the rubble from his hotel after the earthquake in Haiti. Wounded and bleeding, he remembered that he had an application on his iphone from the American Heart Association that contained instructions for first aid and CPR. He was able to attend to his wounds until rescue workers were able to reach him. Have I mentioned that I love technology?

Is it pointless. Pretty much, but it’s pointlessly AWESOME. Always wish you had a witty comeback for situations that called for one. Maybe the iSam Jackson phone app can help you out. The app surprisingly only costs $2.99 and comes in a clean version and an explicit version for the full Sam Jackson experience. I have yet to plunk down the dough for it so I can’t fully endorse it beyond the preview on the web site. Check it out for yourself ..read more
Last week, I finally joined the smartphone masses by getting an iPhone 3GS. I know I’m late, but for my Day Job purposes, I decided that I really needed to get in on all of this “App Store” jibber jabber and “Mobile Web” stuff I keep hearing so much about. I had a good reason to upgrade: my old phone, a beloved-and-free Nokia 6131, finally bit the dust.
In short, the iPhone is a lovely device. The user interface is immaculately crafted and the overall experience is painless and a joy to use.
But, surprisingly, I find myself missing a lot of the features in my old Nokia 6131. This free ..read more
Ok, so I’ll be the first to admit that I have an addiction, and that my iPhone isn’t an arms reach away solely because it’s also my alarm clock. And I realize that I have a tauntaun sleeping bag, Star Wars curtains and a Yoda quilt, so I might be a tad bit biased. But this is pure awesome.
Why yes, that is an iPod Touch bedspread, and it does cover you with the warming comfort of the future, today! (or, in this case and if you live in Sweden – ..read more
