@Wii – “Eat your heart out!” I remember going to Disney World back when I was seven or eight and going to Innoventions in EPCOT center. I was amazed at so many things, but one thing that still is embedded vividly in my mind was the virtual 3D head-mounted camera. Well, the Kinect, which is a consumer product seems to blow that out of the water.
Watch the video for full, cool, awesome details.
I bet that you heard that Osama Bin Laden was killed from a different source that how you heard that Princess Diana or JFK was killed?
The reason I bet this is because you heard the other two were killed on the TV, whereas the latest story you read through the news on the web, through Twitter or because of a post on Facebook.
Gosh, how things are changing.
In the future, be it five years, ten, twenty or more, how will we be viewing, reading, hearing and sensing the news? Media will continue to be more self-directed.
We have seen the advent of Sony, Samsung and Apple internet-TV, NetVibes, and iGoogle. RSS feeders have been around for a while, and then of course there is Tweetdeck to help manage Twitter Tweets. We are no long er passive readers and watchers. We want what we want, when we want it, how we want it and how much we want of it.
We don’t like to stop for commercials, so they better be built right in somewhere and if we really like something you can bet we are going to share, tweet, like, or stumble it. Our groups of friends and contacts are going to get to hear, watch and read what we did.
But it is going to get better with time. Media itself, along with the ads that we see are learning from us and then cater to us. Trends are amalgamating about things that we are doing. What then, are you doing to help with trending for yourself? How are you making your life easier? Are you still watching the TV or reading an actual newspaper for your information?
Think about it now. Act on it soon.

When we ask this question the first thing that pops to my mind is: “Do I have a mobile device, like a cell phone, PDA, tablet or computer with wifi?”
This article is not about that.
This article is asking, “What would happen if all or any of those devices broke down on you?” A better question to ask would be:
If your gadgets broke down right now, how much of the information would you consider irretrievable? How much of that information do you really need? I bet that some of you would say, “A Lot, if not most of it.” Starting right now, if you haven’t done so already, get yourself some online storage:
Next you need to think about your bookmarks. There are two ways about it:
Certain documents can be saved, stored and shared online,. A great website for this:
To create and save Docs, Spreadsheets, Presentations, Drawings and Forms:
All of these online areas, plus a whole lot more I didn’t mention, are called the “Cloud”, or “Cloud Computing”. It means that you have access with the idea that it is somewhere up in the sky. Ideally, we shouldn’t need to worry about it because it is being backed up all the time, plus we usually have access to revisions of the same document through these methods. Now, if you hear the question, “Are you mobile?” I hope you think of it through a new perspective. Not only that, I hope also you are making it so that your content actually is.
I am writing this blog from my iPad2. I love it, but the App has it’s limits. In order for you to write your own blog:
I tried to add pics through the iPad2. First, I tried the Free Adobe Photoshop Express App. Surprisingly, it didn’t open PSD files. Huh?
My next step was to look at the PSD viewer from Adobe, but it seems just like the name implies… a viewer!
I downloaded Layersforipad for $5.99, hoping it would allow me to open and edit PSD files. I can create PSD files, but I cannot open my saved files from Dropbox.
I have a red border, that you see around every image in my blog, that I want to continue on the images. In order to do this I have to:
Note about writing blogs through the WordPress App: There is no WYSIWYG editor. Therefore it is useful, almost crucial that you can edit HTML in order to have proper formatting.
