Funky Bottle

Well, I'm back, not that I haven't been since Thursday night, it's just that now I'm back in the full swing of things and I can finally post. So here we go...

• Apple Music Event

First and foremost the Apple Music Event from Wednesday. This was an EXTREMELLY interesting event. They released the iPod Phone, a Motorola ROKR with iTunes capabilities. They retired the iPod Mini for the the new iPod Nano. It's as thin as a pencil and includes a color screen and flash memory, but best of all, it comes in black! And to round it out, they released iTunes 5. All in all this was a really big event. Now if only it would let me watch the feed of it all the way through....Also, Engadget has an interesting post about all of the past iPods....
Edit: It seems all I have to do is post about it in my blog and it just works. The feed is working for me now.

• Aiding Imagination

For those of you that remember being little and playing with your toys, imagining they could make each other blow up...and then change the rules so that you would win every single time...This new technology makes it so that you CAN'T, dissapointing I know, but still very cool. It uses real toys that you move around and then projects them into a environment that changes in real time. Very cool, check it out...the video too.

• Virus, Virus, Virus

Virus', everyone gets them right? Or if they don't, they block/hold them off with Firewalls, Security Centres etc. But why on earth do they somehow get through even if you sometimes do have all of those programs running in the backround? This article, titled The Six Dumbest Ideas in Computer Security goes across, you guessed it, the top six dumbest security ideas out there and a way that we could all avoid them. It's mostly geared towards security software vendors but it's an interesting read none the less.

• More Easy Interaction

Another form of easy interaction can be found here. It lets you control media (such as a home entertainment system) by tapping or making motions on a flat surface such as a table. The same company makes a whole bunch of different interaction technologies, but I have yet to take a good look at them so I can't really say much. Check out the video here for the media control system (aka the Audiosensor)

• Gorillas, Gorilla's, Gorillaz

Just because I love the band Gorillaz I'm posting about this article. If you don't know about Gorillaz they are a band that has never really been seen in person. They are shown as animations and there for can't really perform live. But they will supposedly be touring and performing as holograms on stage. Awesome.

You know what would be cool. If a bottle could dance real funky-like. Imagine the beauty.
