Social Avatar Beats Death
Avatars are commonly known as virtual characters in the digital realm representing a user. But what if avatars could house personal history, profile and ideas? Could that enable us to make decisions after we have died?
LifeNaut, has a free service called “Mind File” that lets you digitally backup the organic [...]
This is only too sad and true. These are just devices people. They are not “magical”, they are simply electronic tools to aid us. They are like prosthetics, true, but ones we could do without. If you ask me, its this single minded, put your reason on a shelf attitude which is killing us, in [...]
Too bad when I went there all I got was a 404 error. FAIL

Something I’ve said for a while: Steve Jobs is as much a tyrant as Barack Obama or George Bush. What he says goes: free speech suffers. And yes, sexy apps and porn ARE free speech, no matter how much you may not like them!

Like the iPhone not multitasking, or supporting copy and paste in its first iteration, or the iPad not having even ONE camera. WTF I say. Just wait folks. don’t [...]
As we wanted to keep things straightforward and hands-on this month, were highlighting “FUNCTIONALL”. Which is all about a new breed of products that are simple, small and/or cheap with a dash of sustainability, giving them global appeal, from India to Sweden. Now, if that doesnt warrant a brainstorming session…
This may be an interesting conference. Personally would love to see more devices which can augment reality properly. iPhones and other smartphones are pretty small windows on the world. Perhaps the new Apple tablet will be a better job of it.

So in terms of actually killing and imprisoning people, China does come out on top. If that’s the scale you use. However, when you are talking about free speech, I’d say that both China and Google have a lot of ‘splaining to do.
Google is so far deep into the pockets of this administration, that [...]
