The Google Glass feature no one is talking about — Creative Good

The Google Glass feature no one is talking about — Creative Good
(Also: en français, en español, 简体中文, 繁體中文, На русском, in het nederlands, em Português) Google Glass might change your life, but not in the way you think. There’s something else Google Glass makes possible that no one – no one – has talked about yet, and so today I’m writing this blog post to describe it. To read the raving accounts of tech journalists who Google commissioned for demos, you’d think Glass was something between a jetpack and a magic wand: something so cool, so sleek, so irresistible that it must inevitably replace that fading, pitifully out-of-date device called the smartphone. Sergey Brin himself said as much yesterday, observing that it is “emasculating” to use a smartphone, “rubbing this featureless piece of glass.” Like every other shiny innovation these days, Google Glass will live or die solely on the experience it creates for people. Except for the awkward physical design, the experience of using Google Glass has won high praise from reviewers. I’m still not done.

MiKandi making Google Glass porn, app imminent Leading adult Android app creators and distributors MiKandi (mikandi.com, link NSFW) have confirmed it is busy making Google Glass porn. The first Glass app will be in the MiKandi app store as soon as this week. MiKandi Co-founder Jennifer McEwen told me, Google Glass Porn has been making its rounds, and while studios are intrigued, no one seems to be doing anything about it. So I wanted to let you know that we picked up our Glass and, yup, we're making content for it.As far as I know, we're one of the few, if not the only, adult companies with the device right now. So far, it's really fun! Personally, I can't wait to see what they do. MiKandi (Twitter link) quickly became the top Android adult app provider when Apple dumped over 5,000 previously-approved "naughty" apps, and MiKandi seized the moment. Ms. We’re experimenting with the features of Glass. The merging of Google Glass and adult content was as predictable as the ending of every porn scene, and so is the zomg-porn hyperbole.

T3's top 10 hot gadgets of 2013 - and not an Apple in sight Apple has been excluded from a list of the top 10 gadgets for 2013. The Hot 100 list highlights gadgets rated the most wanted in the world by tech magazine T3,. Apple - which has previously topped the list on three separate occasions – fails to make the top 10 for the first time since 2009. Its highest-ranking product is the iPad mini in 15th place. 3D printers top the list for their “life-changing potential” with food printing already taking place and clothes, drugs and even mobile phones expected to be printable in the next 10 years. Samsung leads the way for smartphones, with the Samsung Galaxy S4 coming in at number two. This year’s list also sees a number of projects from Kickstarter - the world’s largest funding platform for creative ideas - getting recognition. 2013 is shaping up to be a big year for gaming, with the Sony PlayStation 4 coming in at number three and a raft of gaming products featured in the Hot 100. Here are the top 10 gadgets of 2013, as chosen by T3. 10. 9. 8. 7. 6.

Google Glass: what you need to know Update: Google has halted production on its experimental wearable, but Google Glass 2 may secretly be making rounds. Matt's original review is below. Google Glass is the controversial wearable that still has its sci-looking beta testers turning heads and being peppered with questions. The increasing number of Google Glass invites has led to Project Glass being open to everyone in the US and now the UK, so curious, tech-savvy early adopters can answer most of these questions on their own. It's a little easier for them to say "yes" to Glass now that it's been upgraded with more memory and new apps. But there's one query all prospective Glass owners all struggling with right now at checkout, and it's a question I get all of the time: is Google Glass worth it? To answer that burning question, I turned a critical eye to Google's wearable computer and tested its Explorer Edition of Google Glass for eleven months. Still, this new Project Glass model is better at addition than subtraction.

Noam Chomsky : "Google Glass est un outil de destruction de l'humain" "Google Glass est un outil de destruction de l'humain". C'est ce que pense le linguiste, cogniticien et logicien américain Noam Chomsky des nouvelles lunettes à réalité augmentée dont l'arrivée a été annoncée par le géant de l'internet et de la high-tech Google. Monture ajustable, 16 gigaoctets de mémoire flash dont 12 exploitables, 24 heures d'autonomie, un affichage haute résolution équivalent à celui d'un écran de 25 pouces éloigné de 8 mètres et bien sûr un système qui fonctionne avec Android... Google Glass is a way of destroying people ? Noam Chomsky (@daily_chomsky) June 25, 2013 Google tente de prendre les devants pour rassurer Depuis le 15 mars, Google en dit peu à peu davantage sur ses lunettes à réalité augmentée dont ni la date de sortie officielle pour le grand public, ni le prix ne sont encore annoncés.
