This seems like a first meaningful step toward developing human HUD. No more search or asking others when you want to know what you're looking at. You'll just take a second to tap the collective digital memory of mankind. Paving the way to augmented reality.

now all it needs is a shoulder-mounted laser cannon...

exactly where i was going on this one

As far as I'm concerned, ASUS has zero credibility with these new product launches until they get the damned T91 out the door and into my hands. They can announce whatever they want, but if it takes 9million years to become available, they're just pissing people off.

right. the problem is that science has concluded that gambling works on the same system as addictive substances, causing the same alterations in brain structure and function. so, for gambling addicts, the point is moot. a simple asskicking isn't enough. they too need a major medical...

this is no surprise. less full-timers=less benefits payout. Less benefit payout=increased profit. Every other retail entity is working to eliminate as many full time positions as possible. Why not Apple? People still end up working 40+ hours but they split it across 2-3 jobs. The...

first off, this guy is a total scumbag, and I'm glad he's been caught. but wtf is up with the IT guy searching his computer for images/movies? what, was he just after the mayor's regular porn when he bumped into his stash of kiddie shit? while justice is indeed being served, isn't everyone...

why would anyone pay for a service that facebook provides for free?
