The future of glass
10 Years ago I would never believe I could carry a super-computer with me all times. Right now I have an iPhone 4 that compared to the computers those days is so much smarter. I see no reason why this amazing glass technology could not be available for us somethime in the near future.
Watson: The smartest computer in the world
We've seen it in many movies across time. Machines becomes smarter than man and conquer the world. The old battle between Man vs Machine is put to the test by scientists in a Jeopardy game. They say "Watson" is world's greatest and smartest computer and he can actually think. It has an equivalent power of 6000 home computers. But what's special about Watson is the software that allows it to understand human language like no other.
Terrafugia - Flying Car
This Flying car holds about 460 pounds, including the passengers and the fuel. It's white, light and can travel to land or air (depends on your needs and the weather). Another cool thing about this car-plane is that it uses normal fuel.
It has a steering wheel and pedals for driving and a control stick for flying.
They said it would be available to general public soon, but for me it looks like a prototype that will never go to mass production.
Reasons not to buy a Tablet PC
I know tablet PCs are huge these days, but there are folks not too pleased with them. It's hard to understand why someone would choose not to buy an iPad, a Samsung Galaxy Tab or Archos 5 and opt for a desktop or an old fashion laptop.
The first reason is that the tablet provides no tactile feedback. It's really hard to feel something real while touching a glass. On-screen keyboards are not as accurate as good-old-fashion keyboards we are found of.
Of course, you can do a lot of cool things with your tablet PC, but there are better alternatives. They say a tablet is great for watching TV online, but the experience is much better on a real TV using the remote control. You can read books on it, but Kindle is way better because of the eInk technology that has reduced eye fatigue. It's easier to surf the web on the computer, because you can use multitasking and multiple tabs in the same time. Many tablets these days does not offer that. Any available app for a tablet has a desktop alternative that is better in any way.
The argue is that a tablet is useful when traveling often, but in your own home a laptop would be better.
What's your opinion on the matter?
