The Wall Street Journal reports that Microsoft is testing prototypes for a device similar to Google Glass, which includes a camera and Internet capabilities. Microsoft has reportedly been in contact with Asian manufacturers to supply components for the device, but the Journal's source emphasized that the product may not come to the mass market. It looks like you're trying to read something, would you like help with that?

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Current wireless networks have a problem: The more popular they become, the slower they are. Researchers at Fudan University in Shanghai have just become the latest to demonstrate a technology that transmits data as light instead of radio waves, which gets around the congestion issue and could be ten times faster than traditional Wi-Fi. May cause seizures in some people. Use caution when transferring large files.

So, if we call tech support they will tell us to turn the switches off the on again?? 
|
|
|
|
|
I'm guessing it should work also when the light is off, I wonder how that will work. Perhaps the wifi signal will go over the ground/zero connectors?

True. But at the moment we can only speculate, for there are many ways to do this...
I wonder about what else can people invent.

They were discussing the possibility of flickering the light "BILLions of times a second" (sorry, ghost of Carl Sagan attacked at that moment). So, I guess technically you could still use it when off, if the "off time" was still the perceived setting.

Now they only need to find a way to make visible light go through walls...

The failure rate for software development projects is high generally, particularly large ones like Healthcare.gov, says Standish Group data Too big to succeed (500 million lines of code?!)

I read 500 thousand, and even that was a total guess.

Yeah, everyone is pushing zeroes as guestimates. Either way, way too many, but very predictable. People seem to have forgotten just how buggy Twitter and/or Facebook were at launch (or maybe not launch, but when they were trying to scale).

A small-claims complaint asks Apple for a way to remove the automatically downloaded iOS 7 install file on iOS 6 devices and earlier, something that can take up space. Really? {blink} {blink} REALLY?!

I'm still on 5.1, works just fine  . I don't want any of the post-Steve stuff.

But... it's so flat!
Actually, I like iOS7 for one reason - the auto-updating apps. Now I don't have to look at those ugly red blobs on my AppStore icon.

The growth spurts continue: Nokia's third-quarter Lumia device sales have more than doubled from a year ago, according to the Wall Street Journal. "There's no need to fear: Underdog is here!"

Google has announced a new suite of tools for activists and non-profits at their Ideas conference in New York today, including tools for evading web censorship and oppressive regimes. The biggest focus has been on DDoS attacks, a kind of brute-force action that can easily take down a small site without leaving any clues as to the culprits. DDoS has been a persistent problem for small-scale activists on the web, but Google's new Project Shield would aim to fix that, offering free DDoS mitigation services to sites serving "media, elections, and human rights related content." Watch after the credits for a special appearance by Samuel L. Jackson

My main complaint with the Surface Pro is the incredibly lackluster battery life. Granted, this is a classic Intel x86 box we're talking about, not some efficient ARM system-on-a-chip designed to run on a tiny battery. Still, I was hopeful that the first Surface Pro with Haswell inside would produce giant gains in battery life as Intel promised. Did you put them in the right way?

It's easy to forget the value of any given technology once its buzz has arced across our collective consciousness and died a fiery death beyond the hype horizon. Take Cobol, that "Mad Men"-era relic -- just like fish past its prime, as the hipster tech pundits say: worthless, smelly, out of date, bad for you. Java may be the next enterprise mainstay to find itself on the ropes of "relevance." Hic iacet Java, rex quondam, rexque futurus
