Microsoft Patents Controller That IDENTIFIES Who Is Holding It. Futurism ++
In the next future, with the Robot Apocalypse approaching, nowhere will be safe for us. As the robots crunch our skulls and drink our blood (they will convert it into a bio-fuel of sorts), we won’t even be able to play one last game of Halo before the Recknoning. Our own goddamn consoles will be able to identify us, just by us holding our controller.

BIONIC EYE Expected To Help Blind See By 2014. YEAH, SCIENCE.
Ah, this is some wonderful post-humanism shit right here. I don’t know why we aren’t vat growing organs and appendages yet (I’m sure there are good reasons, I just don’t want to know them), but this is equally outstanding. Bionic eye time! Cyeah!
GM Files Patent To Make ‘MINORITY REPORT’ Billboards Real. Sort Of.
Our boots crunch as we step on the souls of previously held impossibilities! Like all those wonky ads in Minority Report, and how they were outlandish and ridiculous. Custom-designed for each person? Pah! And yet, here we are.
GOOGLE’S GLASSES Patents Hint At HELMETS To Match. Clunky ++
…How long will we augment reality before we just call it reality? Eh, just something that fall out of my ass right now. More relevant to this whole news post thing is me telling you that a patent Google registered totally points towards a helmet to compliment their AR glasses. This doesn’t make sense.
Video: Meet ECCEROBOT, The Humanoid Robot With Muscles And Tendons. Cylons Nod.
All of this has happened before, and there’s a good fucking chance it’ll happen again. Thank you, Matrix, Mass Effect, and Battlestar Galactica for teaching me that. We’re not building robots with muscles and tendons. Jesus Christ, what are we doing.
Scientists Can Make Solar Cells Thinner Than Spider Silk? Well Done.
Behold some glory-be futurism nonsense right here. Scientists have made solar cells that are thin like woah, and can be wrapped around human hair. Human hair, folks.
Video: Google Drops Preview Of Its AUGMENTED REALITY GLASSES. Transmet Boner.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh sheezy. This is the illest of the ills, right here. Google has released a preview (more I assume, like a proof of concept or whatever) of their augmented reality glasses. I’m all over this like stink on my boxer shorts.
MIT Creates Smart Sand That SCULPTS ITSELF. Threshold Crossed, Man.
MIT is doing some straight-up wizard shit. They’re programming sand. Sand! To take shapes. This is so goddamn awesome.
TACOCOPTER Is Unmaned Future Of Food Delivery. OH TECH ++
Finally some technology we can believe in. Drones are best known for being used to blow people up with uncomfortable amounts of clinical disinterest and detachment. However there’s a collection of solid dudes who want to add to that reputation. They want to use drones to deliver tacos. This is the future I asked for.
Microsoft Is Working On A Universal Translator. Foreign Language Teachers Shitting Themselves.
…Naw!, I’m just kidding. As products of the cultures they reflect, foreign languages will always have worth. Plus French is sexy. However, it would be goddamn glorious if I could have something to translate for me in a pinch. That’s why my boys Microsoft and their Science Daemons have my back.
