So I have been telling my wife Jill for years that augmented reality will lead to a virtual networked brain, seriously ask her how many times I have put her to sleep with my raves about how my data will be my thoughts and that will all be shared. Little did she know I could [...]

Apple sure got it wrong not putting a camera on the iPad. Dell got it right, they put two! About twice the size of an iPhone I can totally see this as a great platform for AR apps. It runs Android too. Great job Dell!

The superfast computers of tomorrow will likely be able to manipulate individual electrons, harnessing their charge and magnetism to achieve massive data storage and outstanding processing speeds at very low power requirements. But how exactly do you go about manipulating single electrons independently, without affecting the ones nearby? Princeton University’s Jason Petta has recently [...]

Want to zoom in on someone’s nose hair from a mile away, and watch it sway in the wind 540 times per second? Well then read on!

Its poor little punched-out eyes blink red with the horror of having LEDs shoved in them, every time it makes a data transfer. Video of the post-life torture after the jump.

Augmented Reality is just a step towards ubiquitous computing. Something I have literally been dreaming about since I was a kid. Computers are devices now – but eventually they will be a part of what we wear, and eventually they will be a part of what everyone wears in community computing…..
