GO FIGURE: UK agency spied on your dongs through webcam images; explored Kinect surveillance
It turns out some British intelligence agency totally looked at webcam images from more than a million Yahoo user accounts. I’m shocked! Like way shocked. Double go figure: they were like “Hey we can probably look at everyone’s business through their Kinect, too.”
Watch: 90 YEAR-OLD WOMAN tries OCULUS RIFT VR, is understandably rocked.
In this video, a 90 year-old woman tries out the Oculus Rift VR headset. The lass is blown away by the immersive snippet of the future. The video is particularly fantastic when considering the paradigm shift this woman has lived through in her ninety years on the Blue Marble.

Turn living plants into multitouch interfaces. Controlling computers with plants. THE FUTURE IS GOOD.
This just seems like the sort of silly shit I’d make up early in the morning, ripped on grease and caffeine. The future is here, it just ain’t evenly distributed. The words of my hero Billy Gibson. Well, shit. If anyone is looking for some of that excess future being hoarded, check out this ridiculousness.
