For example, imagine holding your phone over a poster on the wall as if you were going to take a photo of that poster, and then instantly a video starts playing to offer you additional information about that particular poster. Pretty cool, right? The first time it happens, it seems like magic. After watching the video below, I knew I had to figure this augmented reality thing out. Aurasma is the app I use to create augmented reality. The amazing talks from #webstock 2010 are now online - - enjoy & share!

RT @billt: I wrote something about journalism, terrorism and the security state, because I'm a little bit annoyed.

Sometimes we break the law, and sometimes we do it in ways that are not defensible as being in the public interest, or for reasons that are not related to our journalism. I also think it’s okay for the police to detain and question journalists, as they may anyone else. I work on the assumption that we should all, as citizens, respect the rule of law and act within legal constraints – a big part of any journalist’s training covers legal issues around contempt, defamation, confidentiality and copyright. I don’t even want special protection under the law as a ‘journalist’ because then someone has to decide who counts as one, and as we’ve seen in the UK with the debate over the Leveson inquiry, that quickly ends up with some sort of state-approved licensing mechanism which none of us would find acceptable. Unfortunately, while we in the press have by and large played fair, it’s now clear that the state hasn’t.

I guess that statement requires a bit of explanation. The topic of Corporate Finance/Capital Markets is, even within the world of the Dismal Science, (Economics) an exceptionally dry and boring subject matter, encumbered by complex mathematic models and obscure economic theory.

Because you are worth it! I’m lovin’ it! Do these words sound familiar? Probably yes because they are popular commercial slogans by international companies such as Adidas, L’Oréal and McDonald’s. These are also words that we are faced with almost every single day, whether we are watching the TV, shopping in a mall or browsing on the internet. Ants (yes, actual ants) in a protest march to save the forest (the 'signs are laser cut leaves). Cool, non? Hell yes.

In the aftermath of the dot-com crash, a new era for the web began to take hold – a turning point whose seismic shift was hyped under the moniker “Web 2.0.”

@pkcc1 comments re the need to define v3.0 amused me - web x.0 definitions only seem to have relevance in retrospect

The concept referred to the web becoming a platform, a home for services whose popularity grew through network effects, user-generated content and collaboration. Blogging, social media sites, wikis, mashups, and more reflected a changing consciousness among the Internet’s denizens – one which Tim O’Reilly, whose Web 2.0 conferences helped solidify the term as a part of our everyday lexicon, once described as a “collective intelligence, turning the web into a kind of global brain.” Since that time, because of humans’ intrinsic need to apply a structure to amorphous things to give them a semblance of order – things like the web, for example – there have been many attempts to define what “Web 3.0″ might be. At one point, the assumption was that Web 3.0 woud be the “semantic web.” A little silly... a little cool. Talk to the hand... err... I mean glove - and for a vid demo.

John Davidson You can’t buy them just yet, but a UK design firm has built a pair of leather gloves that allows you to talk on the phone, listening to your thumb while you chat to your pinkie. Perfect for the English winter, or, as it’s panning out this year, the English summer. The design firm, Designworks, was approached by the UK mobile phone carrier O2 to come up with nifty ways to re-use old phones, according to a BBC report. What it came up with was a pair of gloves with a simple Bluetooth headset stitched into it. Charge the gloves with a regular USB cable, pair them to your phone, and they work just like any other Bluetooth headset. The only difference is, you talk into your pinkie. A little silly... a little cool. Talk to the hand... err... I mean glove - and for a vid demo. Too much? iPads, MacBook, drives, Android Ph, USB, cardreader, PC, mac mini, camera, Win Surface, hair straighteners.

To all my friends, wear a pink tie tomorrow as a statement against sexist behaviour. @morganiseit & tweet your photo. THE owner of the restaurant at the centre of a scandal over a sexist menu has reportedly apologised to Mal Brough, saying he created a mock menu as a light-hearted joke. The LNP on Wednesday night released an apology from Joe Richards, of the Richards and Richards restaurant, saying the menus were never distributed at the $1000 a head fundraiser featuring Joe Hockey. "Dear Mal, I have been following the rubbish that has been on the news today,'' the letter from Joe Richards reads. "I would like to confirm what actually happened: there were never any menus distributed on the tables or in the restaurant. "I created a mock menu myself as a light-hearted joke, however as I said I never produced them for public distribution. "Unfortunately a staff member saw the mock menu, and unbeknownst to myself, posted it on their Facebook.
