GOOGLE GLASS TEAM: Wearable Computing Will Be The Norm.

We have a pretty powerful processor and a lot of memory in the device. There?s quite a bit of storage on board, so you can store images and video on board, or you can just live stream it out. We have a see-through display, so it shows images and video if you like, and it?s all self-contained. It has a camera that can collect photographs or video. It has a touchpad so it can interact with the system, and it has gyroscope, accelerometers, and compasses for making the system aware in terms of location and direction. It has microphones for collecting sound, it has a small speaker for getting sound back to the person who?s wearing it, and it has Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. And GPS.

This is the configuration that most likely will ship to the developers, but it?s not 100 percent sure that this is the configuration that will we ship to the broader consumer market.

Anyone who?s read Rainbows End or Daemon will want them, for sure.

NANOTECHNOLOGY UPDATE: Solid state synthetic molecular machine points to advanced nanotechnology.

Canadian chemists have induced a metal-organic framework to self-assemble and function as a molecular wheel on an axle in a solid state material. From a University of Windsor news article ?Chemists break new ground in molecular machine research: ?A graduate student and his team of researchers have turned the chemistry world on its ear by becoming the first ever to prove that tiny interlocked molecules can function inside solid materials, laying the important groundwork for the future creation of molecular machines.?

GOOD QUESTION: How Do We Know Smartphones Endanger Planes? ?A curt reminder to power down your portable electronics has been a part of every commercial flight for years. But why do we have those rules in the first place, and should we expect them to change now that pilots have iPads in the cockpit and many airlines offer in-flight wireless Internet??
