The future of glass
10 Years ago I would never believe I could carry a super-computer with me all times. Right now I have an iPhone 4 that compared to the computers those days is so much smarter. I see no reason why this amazing glass technology could not be available for us somethime in the near future.
Watson: The smartest computer in the world
We've seen it in many movies across time. Machines becomes smarter than man and conquer the world. The old battle between Man vs Machine is put to the test by scientists in a Jeopardy game. They say "Watson" is world's greatest and smartest computer and he can actually think. It has an equivalent power of 6000 home computers. But what's special about Watson is the software that allows it to understand human language like no other.
Terrafugia - Flying Car
This Flying car holds about 460 pounds, including the passengers and the fuel. It's white, light and can travel to land or air (depends on your needs and the weather). Another cool thing about this car-plane is that it uses normal fuel.
It has a steering wheel and pedals for driving and a control stick for flying.
They said it would be available to general public soon, but for me it looks like a prototype that will never go to mass production.

Life with Data
It's amazing to see how technology advanced we are. Some of us could not have a life without internet, iPhone, laptop or other gadgets.
Escher´s waterfall. Real or not?
Escher´s waterfall depicts a seeming paradox where water from the base of a waterfall seems to run uphill prior to hitting the top of the waterfall.
Although most 2D artists use relative symmetries to create an illusion of depth, Escher exercises contradictory symmetries to create the visual paradox. Waterfall has the structure of a Penrose triangle, an unacceptable object planned independently by Roger Penrose and Oscar Reutersvärd.

Telekinesis is real
Telekinesis is no longer a Sci-Fi or Paranormal subject. Right now, people all over the world are moving objects with their mind with the help of technology. Brain-computer interfaces are here, enabling neuro-prosthetics, brain-powered wheelchairs, and even thought-controlled pinball machines. The trouble is that using brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) requires a huge amount of concentration and it's hard to use it more than an hour. At present a research group at the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland is doing work to clear this trouble, by masterminding BCIs that grant users to breathe their brains--and even to multitask.
Another team of computer scientists from Germany made possible for a car to be driven only with the power of thoughts. The driver is equipped with EEG sensors connected to a computer. The computer picks the driver's intention to steer left or right, and executes it. Although this is only a demonstration, it's amazing how far science has gone...

History of Mobile Gaming
Do you remember the original GameBoy? That was a massive success. Did you know it had a CPU of 8-bit Z80 CMOS (4.19MHz) and 8KB of ram? Man that was a blast. I still remember me playing Tetris on that amazing mobile gaming platform. Right now I can play tons of games on my iPhone 4, or my PSP.

Kinect with Windows Phone 7 (video)
This is a demo straight from Microsoft letting us know that big things are coming in the future. You can see Windows Phone 7 connected directly to your Kinect. This comes shorty after Nokia and Microsoft just tied an agreement, meaning Microsoft is ready to take over the phone market. If this would be available to the general public, it would increase the numbers of Kinect players that are able to play in the same time.

The Best Smartphone Camera
After reading more than hours and hours of reviews, watching different video comparisons, I finally got some finalists:
HTC Desire HD vs Iphone 4 video comparison
Don't get me wrong, HTC Desire HD is a great smartphone. It takes amazing pictures, but when it comes to video, it seems that the audio is pretty lame. I thought it was a local problem on that particular device, but it's not. So, the iPhone 4 wins this battle, so far. There were no real competitors until I found this amazing phone:
Nokia N8 vs iPhone 4 video test
The difference is so obvious, there is nothing more to be said. Nokia N8 wins this one without any problems. Sure, if we talk about smartphone capability, iPhone 4 is a much better phone. Lots of apps, support, great design and a huge fan base. No argue about that. But when it comes to picture and video recording quality , the Nokia N8 is the winner. See 8 untouched pics taken with Nokia N8. So, I really it deserves the best spartphone camera trophy.
