Samsung HMX-U10 pocket 1080p HD camcorder
Just got this little bugger from Buy.com for $90 since it is four months into the market and is so incredibly outdated already (heh) -- it's amazing for such a small device. Who knew -- 1080p HD video recording in your shirt pocket! I wouldn't pay $180 for this, but at half that, it's a steal.
Google's smokescreen when it came to Google Buzz's rollout
Great analysis here of Google's ineptness when it came to rolling out Google Buzz. What a misfire.

Minority Report is here - astounding
Can you imagine buying a computer in 5 to 10 years that has this kind of interface instead of a keyboard and a mouse? This demo is by Oblong Systems, who created the faux-tech in the movie Minority Report. The tech is actually here now. Wow!

Wow -- is Microsoft doomed in the next decade? Hard to fathom right now....but perhaps so.
Skynet is upon us
I've asked several friends over the years this question: are we, as a human race (not a colored race, regardless of color) better off now than we were 150 years ago? Has technology really made humans better? Sure, we do things every day that seemed like science fiction in 1980. We live longer (not sure that's a good thing). We marvel at all the advancements we've made in just the last 25 years. But then again, things are much worse than in 1860.
Many of us don't get outside to enjoy the thrills of nature as much as we need to. We don't have jobs or activities that get us moving, get us exercising. We live in secular little worlds with too much self-centeredness, too many pharmaceuticals clogging up a brilliant human design (note: not really alluding to anything religious there), and so much advanced technology -- designed by imperfect human beings -- that things are bound to screw up more and more and more as time goes by. I'm not on a James Cameron-esque crusade about the evils of advancing technology (and de-evolving humans in a way as a result), but maybe I am. Toyota's "car-thinks-for-itself" automobile computer programming glitches are just the first sign (okay, maybe the 123rd sign).
What's next? Designer computer viruses that can infect humans like biological viruses? Perhaps 1860 was not so bad after all. Plenty of sunshine, lots of exercise, great food (not the processed junk we all eat today) and a great all-around lifetime all things considered. Things are too complicated for the average IQ in 2010. We're becoming dumber. Food for thought (that is, organic, non-GMO food).
