The Olympics: No 3G Hotspots for You!
I have heard a lot about how the Olympics don't like how people have been tweeting at the games, which can really create problems when you are trying to do some live coverage. By the way, the Olympics hate portable Wi-Fi hotspots powered by 3G. Can you imagine if someone had a 3G Wi-Fi hotspot and could cover interesting things about the events before anyone else? … [Read more...] about The Olympics: No 3G Hotspots for You!

Get a 3D Replica of a Fetus, thanks to 3D printing
We have discussed how 3D printing can be used for all kinds of things like guns and Maker Bot Mixtapes, but here is another service for a "Ladies Clinic" at Japan.

I have seen a lot of these 3D renderings of fetuses in the womb before, and they certainly make … [Read more...] about Get a 3D Replica of a Fetus, thanks to 3D printing
Thanks to technology, the starter pistol has been eliminated from the Olympic games
I think we all know that the starter pistol has been an iconic beginning to any race, but believe it or not, this has been declared obsolete technology by the Olympics themselves. Apparently, the sound travels at 768 miles per hour, but the sound reaches the competitors in the back lanes a few milliseconds before those closest to the pistol. I clearly do not know much … [Read more...] about Thanks to technology, the starter pistol has been eliminated from the Olympic games
Google’s Nexus Q delayed indefinitely

Kuratas is a Mech Robot brought to life
There is nothing that I like more than the mech of science fiction and anime like Robotech or Avatar, but the Kuratas is very, very real. At least, that is what it looks like. You can watch a video of it after the jump and see it in action. The 13-feet tall, 4 ton mech recently made its debut at Wonder Fest 2012 in Tokyo, and it looks quite genuine. Controlling it is as … [Read more...] about Kuratas is a Mech Robot brought to life

I thought that I would continue the discussion on Augmented Reality that I started with the short film "Sight" that I brought up yesterday.
