Microsoft is no stranger to scrambling to keep up with Google and Apple. It’s like, their forte at this point. New patents have revealed that the Gang that Says “Oh Yeah!” is dipping their toes in the AR goggles arena. In the future you won’t be cool unless you’re scrolling through tumblr starring at furry jizz shots on your glasses’ HUD while at a football game. It has been foreseen.
Dios mio, there are a shit load of companies throwing their chips into the cell phone ring. Twist your head and you’ll pivot into yet another announcement of some sort of wunder-phone.
Earth got a little less interesting yesterday when Niel Armstrong passed away at the age of 82. In an age when people are famous from drunken exploits and reality TV shows, Neil was truly an inspiration. In the 60′s and 70′s he was a reality star in a different way. Except what he was doing mattered. Oh what a time to be alive. He was the face of space exploration for over 40 years. In a year where we already lost Ray Bradbury, this is another black mark. If we lose Chuck Yaeger in 2012, I may cry.
I don’t know if it’s going to be prostrate cancer, or Diet Dew-chemicals induced brain cancer that knocks me off the top rope. I don’t know which one shall do it. However, I’m glad that there’s all sorts of wonderful medicinal technological wunder-things arriving into the world to screen my dumb ass when the day comes.
This is pretty fucking rocking. As anyone who has ever listened to the sagacious mewing of Les Claypool knows, Hell is spelled D-M-V. The peoples of Tennessee are aware of this, and in an effort to cut down on the fire and brimstone in their pockets of the Underworld, they have installed iPads. Cyeah!
Lordy, lordy. The future is good. Check out the Daedalus Cyber-attack alert system, which renders cyber attacks in 3D graphics.
I don’t use internet radio, but apparently I’m in the fucking minority. The burgeoning format has surpassed $1 billi in royalties generated.
Microsoft has announced their own tablet, called Surface. It’s 10.6 inches, is going to run on Windows 8, and will probably not convince any iPad users to jump ship.
Microsoft has themselves a bit announcement coming tomorrow, and at least one intrepid reporter thinks it is something in the tablet vein. Hey man, it’s all immaterial to me.
