Space Battles!

I've always been a bit of a geek. Okay a complete geek, so when I stumble across an article like this, I nearly crap myself. Well its not that great but the article describes the viability of space combat and is a very stimulating read. Check it out here:

Visual Search

Google has come up with a new app, Google Goggles. The program, usable on Android powered devices, uses a picture to make a web search. This idea has just blown my mind! I had never really imagined something like this but, now that Google has demonstrated the idea in a Youtube video, I can't imagine our web-centric world evolving without it. The most intriguing part is using the camera to capture video, with web info being overlaid on the video. Want to know about the restaurant at the end of the street? Point your phone at it, get instant info about the menu, hours, service etc. This will, hopefully, be the future of how information in the world flows. With live updates, via twitter like services, being streamed right over the top of the video on the phone. The future keeps looking brighter.

Tablet Media

Tablet computers really get me excited. I can't wait for a full featured tablet computer. The biggest thing I'm excited for is the advancement of media delivery. I still subscribe to many magazines, and while having a physical booklet in my had is enjoyable, it is impractical. Magazines can't deliver news at a fast pace and the cost structure is prohibitive for companies producing them.

Enter the tablet computer solution. And this is how I think it should work; just like Time Inc's interpretation.
